Here ya go Sis..

Being sick sucks!

Yep, that's right. Being sick sucks. I have not felt good for about 3 days....headache and sore throat and just a general lack of energy for anything ( i think that might be a little bit of depression, but who's really paying attention) Here I was just hoping I had a small sore throat and a bit of vitamin C and some rest should kick it in the butt. AHAHA! No I had to go and look in my throat to see a bunch of white spots. yea! My sister who has a very severe case of tonselitis has the same thing. I was really glad to hear that. It seems our beloved nephew....my Godson.... spread his pink eye germs into our throats. Great. So.... I have done nothing for the past few days except watch T.V and eat peanut butter and crackers. ( I am having a strange craving for them) Lots of CSI. It's on all the time. Well.... it's about 11:00 and I am feeling tired so I'm going to go lay on my bed...that is in my living room and watch some more CSI: there's a marathon coming on!

In yet another airport

Here in Chicago they have Wi-Fi so my 3 hour connection won't be so boring. I only have one more hour left. Yipee. How much trash can one girl read and I don't think I should really drink another cup of coffee. There has to be some health complications from the only thing in your belly is about 8 pots of coffee and grapes. (maybe that is an exaggeration...) So I have been gone for a week with work. I go home for two days. Get my bed delivered!!!!! Drive to Indy come home, Katie comes into town and then we fly to Michigan for 5 days. Damn! Can't a girl get a brake but I'm looking foward to a few days with the kids and Sam and Kelli. Katie gets to do some fun stuff when she is here like go to the doctor with me, take an exciting to Cingular. Whoo Hoo! maybe we'll paint my bedroom....just kidding. Well, I think I'll go get another cup of coffee.

WORKIN ON THE ROAD

WELL,My job has taken a turn for the....different, for lack of a better word. I now work with Clarie and travel around setting up displays for Trade Shows. It is by no means glamorous but it is pretty easy work and I do get to travel all over the country. Not too bad. It pays well and it is far better than what I was doing before with many more opportunites available. As far as AND1 goes Winter tour is 99.9 % going to happen and summer tour is a given. Once we find out about Winter Tour we can start working on the advancement... but not until Claire and I get back from Australia! Once we get the word with Winter Tour I will be full time with Claire. Which will be nice.
Australia will be three weeks of November that I cannot wait for. We are going to stop off in New Zealand for a few days and before we head out from L.A. we are going to this island in Mexico that a few of Claire's friends own. So yeah. that will be cool. Anyway. Hadn't written much lately. I am in D.C. now getting ready to go do some work soon. Once I get some more pictures, I'll post them.

HMMMM?

Well...my summer on the road is over. It was an amazing expierence and am thankful for the chance to have been a part of it.
I'm just going to put up some more pictures. Actually right now I am in San Francisco with Claire. She has given me another job that involves traveling....It is the setting up the displays for trade shows. Last night we went to a Giants game and today was a day off... not a bad job at all. So here are some more memories of the tour and when I get back the the Lou I will right some more.

Atlanta

Well, we are on our way to MIAMI!!! Yes! Beaches and palm trees! Fru-fru drinks by the pool or perhaps a Cabana on the beach.... oh yeah and some work. I haven't written much lately, I thought I would put some pictures up first so I didn't get the BADGERING from the little one. Cleveland.... Dad came up one day for Cleveland. He drove down to Cleveland from Detroit. It was really good to see him. We went out to lunch and then walked around Cleveland for 5 hours. It was a nice day and I enjoyed it. We went to a steamboat museum, the Rock N' Roll Hall of Fame, got some ice cream (in typical dad fashion), then jus walked around. I was so tired that night that we just went out to dinner and then off to bed. We all had had a late-night pool party at the hotel in Cleveland. It wasn't a party according to the hotel security. Oops!
Louisville.... Louisville was a bunch of Kentucky Fried Chicken and Big wigs... it was a disatster. It is taking the Street out of Street Ball.... as Adam Stafford said.. it should be called Corporate Ball. Unfortunatly they have let the Sponsors dictate the run of the game and it sucks for all of us. Anyway...When we were in Atlanta a few of us headed out to a Mideval Times Dinner Theater. FABULOUS! It was so dumb it was wonderful. You even got to eat with you hands. Perfect. I strongly suggest going at least once in your life. The game... I don't know I don't ever get to see the game.
Anyway.... That is about it. I have got to go do some work.

Detroit

Well, we are in Cleveland after a three day stay in Detroit. I was able to spend some time with Sam, Kelli and the kids and loved it. I did my laundry at their house and now all my clothes have that great smell that I love so much. I had lunch with them on Tuesday and then was able to spend some time at the house on Wednesday. We ordered pizza and hung out. Of course it wouldn't have been a normal trip to my brothers if there wasn't some kind of project going on. I helped stuffed some invitations for Grace's "girls only" pool party... which again were the cutest invitations! Kelli always has the cutest things for Grace. I love being at their house and just hanging out. It was really nice to be there and just sit and make fun of televsion shows. I had a really good visit. The next night Sam and Kelli were able to come to the game. And what a game they saw. It was a very good game, our first overtime on the Tour. AND1 finally pulled through in the last seconds with a few points extra. Detroit gave them a run for their money. I don't care who the people are if you are playing a sport in Detroit they will root for the home town NO MATTER WHAT and I think that that gave the AND1 players more incentive to win. All in all it was a great game. I was able to show Sam and Kelli backstage into my world. It was really fun.
Katie... can't wait for you guys to come up!
Anyway... more picutres to come and now it is time to do some work.

Just a few more memories

Here are a few to keep you happy!

TIRED OF K8'S COMPLAINTS

Well.... after much badgering again here are some random pictures from previous cities.... Katie I will get the ones from Chicago soon.

WORKING ON THE ROAD

Yep, this is me hard at work on our bus.
Well, we are in the fabulous town of Indianapolis. It's not a bad city at all. One thing I have noticed on our travels is that there is always at least one to three dirty people sitting infront of a coffee shop. I never spend any time in downtown St. Louis because there isn't anything to do downtown so I don't ever see that. It is everywhere and it is what it is. Well, I am really tired and have to get up early.
I'll keep in touch. I miss and love you all.

HOME OF LAVERNE & SHIRLEY

Yes, we are in Milwaukee. Haven't really done much sight seeing here. We are not in town for long and it has been filled with work. I do have to remind myself that I am not on vaccation and that this is a job. It can be hard to do. It is a clean and pretty down town. A few of us went out to grab a bite to eat down by the waterfront. It's like Chicago, there is a big canal running through the middle of downtown. The smell reminded me of the dock during the canoe races, gross yet strangley comforting. There are seagulls in Milwaukee. I was not aware of that.
I see that my sister already has here Thanksgiving day plans taken care of. What's on the agenda for CHristmas little one?
Well, not much to report. I have got lots of work to do.
Hearing all this talk about Poe really makes me miss my dog.
