When Did I Decide A Sippy Cup Was Age Appropriate?

You read that right. I bought a sippy cup. Now before you go judging me, here is a picture of it.

1. Adorable - Check.
2. Portable - Check.
3. Spill Proof - Check.

The only 3 criteria I have for my water bottles. So you imagined my squee when I saw this at Target. The 'real' reason I bought it was for the training yesterday, which went AWESOME by the way. The theme was very spring/Easter, so I felt this was a fitting addition to my table. I wish the bottle was bigger, I have a bit more thirst than a 3 year old, but it had to do.

Oh, here are some pictures of the training room before people arrived. It isn't fancy or anything, but it was very fun!

Table One: The Dream Team

Table 2: Ferocious Panthers

Table 3: Leasing Lions

Prize Table

Everyone had their place look like this. Name tag, binder, and pen.

I was in control of the presentation, and got to speak for most of it. Oh, also impromptu DJ.

The whole thing was a big success. After we finished, we all went out for drinks at this place called Chicago Brauhaus. THERE WAS A POLKA BAND!

When Did I Get Roped Into A Training?

So I mentioned in passing before that my Property Manager and I will be doing a Leasing Training at our company tomorrow. It's going to be from 1:30 pm - 5:00 pm. We have all the materials, decorations, prizes, candy, lunch, and presentation ready to go. I even went and bought a little outfit for it. The owners son and the regional manager will be there too.

I'm going through all the stuff we will be doing and I'm just a little worried that the presentation won't fill out the time we have. The presentation have 6 activities, but they wouldn't last more than 10 minutes each. Right there is at least an hour in itself, but there is still 2 hours and a half left. I figure that half hour will be spent on brief discussion after each activity. Which still leaves 2 hours.

I was thinking of looking for some videos online that pretain to leasing or customer service. If I play a couple videos throughout, that can be a whole nother 30 minutes used. My only real fear about all this isn't tripping on my words or not knowing an answer, it's...

When Did I Start Telling You My Life Story?

The answer is since day 1. I'm told I "over-share". Pssssh. So, anyways...

My hubby James has FINALLY been given the okay to do his official physical this Friday! I know all his hard work is gonna pay off and he can finally relax just a little.

Also, you'll be happy to know I survived the snow storm yesterday, but not unscathed. After work, I was afraid of the drive home. Forgetaboutit! The drive was fine, it was the parking- no, I mean STREET PARKING, that was a nightmare. First we had to find a damn space, then when we tried to park, we got stuck in a snow bank for 30 minutes. I just wanted to get home...but in the end after help from James, Dad, and neighbors, we got out of it, and parked somewhere else.

But of course, when I got home cold and wet, there was no hot water to shower with. C'est la vie. I made due with some hot coco and buttered english muffins. Yum!

You'll be happy to know, this morning, I got a whole 10 minutes of hot water to shower with. 

In other news, I'll be doing a presentation at my job the 15th, and soon after that we'll be hosting an Open House. I'm excited for the warmer months to start because that's when we get our big business.
