Get Motivated Seminar
Posted on July 28, 2011 by Ching under Things to Do.
The line was insane. And we thought we got there early, too! Apparently, not early enough. We should have gotten there at 6 AM.
It was so packed inside that we had a hard time finding seats.
We heard later on that the overflow ended up at Century II and the additional overflow got turned away altogether. Which kind of sucks if you waited in line for a long time. You didn’t really miss much, though. Misty only lasted an hour before she decided it was time to go. LOL.
They marketed it really well so you thought you were coming to hear all of these awesome speakers, which they were, but they snuck in a couple of sales guys. They don’t tell you about those. I guess they have to pay all the other speakers somehow.
Even though the sales guys took up a lot of the time, the other speakers were pretty good. As long as you can tune out all of the junk, there was some good wisdom imparted. The first couple of speakers were so effective that we were feeling nice and motivated and the positive vibes got us to sign up for a two-day seminar about stocks. Actually, we probably would have gotten talked into it regardless because Brian and I are easy targets. We weren’t alone, though. There were swarms of people who signed up.
We didn’t buy what the other sales guy was selling, though. He took forever to get to the point and was just too weird. LOL. I won’t repost the wisdom imparted by the “real” speakers because I’ve already posted a lot of them on Twitter and they’re mostly common sense.
Bottom line? The seminar wasn’t what I thought it would be, but I always make the most out of any situation so I think I was able to get a lot of out it. I wouldn’t do it again, though. =P

Misty Looked Cute Today

Misty looked cute this morning at the Get Motivated seminar. She wasn’t motivated enough to stay, though. LOL. I’ll post more seminar details later. You know how I like to share my “learnings” and stuff. Stay tuned!

My New TSA-Approved Backpack
Posted on July 24, 2011 by Brian under Travel, Wishlist.
So we went to Sam’s the other day to get a few small items. As we were walking through one of the aisles, I came across one of the new TSA-approved SwissGear computer bags. These things are really great for travelers like myself who hate going through airport security.
Before, I had to take my laptop out of the bag, place it in a separate container, deal with all of my other stuff as well, and pick everything up and put it all together at the end which can be quite cumbersome. Now, I can just unzip it, lay it flat, run it through and pick it up at the end. I love it!
If you order it online, it only comes in black. However, Sam’s Club carries it in black, blue and gray. I got a gray one because the blue one was ugly and black is too common.

Tis the Season for Summer Birthday Parties
Posted on July 23, 2011 by Ching under Babies, Wishlist.
A bunch of our friends decided they would have babies at the same time so their kids are now all turning two. We were invited to a birthday party every single Saturday over the next three weeks. Yikes! I guess it could have been worse. The birthday parties could have all been scheduled over one weekend. LOL.
I always ask the parents for a wishlist to simplify the gift-buying process on my end. As you all know, I’m a busy person. Between work and working out, there really isn’t much time left in my day. Gina Ann, who is always on top of things, was the first person to send me a wishlist. I found the best gift for Carolyn from her list (something educational that also looks like fun for the kiddo) so, to further simplify things, I just asked Apple and April if Zane and Gavin have this same toy already. As luck would have it, neither did. I ended up buying three of them — online, so I didn’t even have to leave the house. Bam! Gift shopping done. Just like that.
You might find my methods a little tacky but, you have to admit, it’s pretty efficient. Plus, wishlists are always the way to go. This way you don’t end up with stuff that you either already have or absolutely have no use for. But that’s just me.
By the way, all three gifts are wrapped and ready to go. Am I good or what?
