kristin - OMG i am in love with your cat already! name it beverly meowstakis. call it bobo for short.

yesterday i came down with some awful sore-throat causing bug, but after sleeping straight through from 5:30 pm until 7 am, i feel better. my immune system is truly amazing. i also had some spare antibiotics from an old prescription that probably helped the process along.

so i am leaving tomorrow at 5 am on my first ever expense-accounted for business trip! they gave me a huge wad of 'petty cash.' if this is considered 'petty', the amount that i regularly spend on food, lodging, and taxis in a week must be 'paltry' or 'inconsequential'.

marie do you know what this means? if they decide to send me to the gift show in NY in March i will have a company credit card! and we can hit the town!

and dude, i get to take a car service to the airport tomorrow. i tried to talk vanessa, the other girl going to atlanta, to get us a limo. she said no.

mara- i will send you some stationery when i get back next week, or the week after that. kristin, yours should be arriving shortly.
