So I know I have been gone forever. In fact, the last draft I had was from June and I ended up not even finishing it. To be honest, I’m not sure why I don’t just sit down and write a post. I used to enjoy writing and I LOVE to talk about myself… Hahaha. I spend an insane amount of time working, even when I get home, but that’s the nature of social media I guess.

My grandmother passed away two weeks ago and it reminded me that my life is short. I should NOT be spending my youth stuck in my room writing tweets. I know it sounds obvious but I think people get stuck in something and tend to forget that there are important things to do in the world. I don’t think that means writing a blog post is more important than my job but I think it means I need better work/life balance. When I go home, I should be HOME, not thinking about work or meetings I have the next day. Being a workaholic doesn’t always pay off, in fact it actually just makes people think they can give you MORE work.

In a couple weeks, I will be going to Las Vegas to see Britney Spears! I cannot wait! I need a vacation. Chicago is miserable in January and February and I need some time away. Considering I don’t drink, gamble or go clubbing I will mostly be seeing shows and walking around but I think it will be so nice. I want to travel and see the world again. The last two years I had a chance to see so many places I hadn’t seen before and visited a few places I had already been – I love that. I love to know that I have a vacation to look forward to, it gives me a little hope when I’m walking in 19 degree weather. I can only hope that this year I get a chance to travel as much as the last 2 years. Now to think….. Where should my next vacation be?
