working from the airport

So, I am leaving for Reno today - for a business trip. Some find it hard to believe that someone would go to Reno for business and not really for pleasure. I will get to hang out with the people I work with (which will be fun) and with my in-laws (which will be fun).. but it doesn't replace being home with my husband and our dog. I had to be dropped off early (like 6:50am) even though my flight doesn't leave until 11-ish. So, I find myself with some time to kill, a laptop and free wireless internet. I can't work because it won't let me connect to my work server (why? I have no idea).

Have you ever watched "What Not To Wear" on TLC? I have recently become an addict. I love to watch this show. I don't know if it is because I learn anything or because it makes me feel a little better about my wardrobe when I see what some people wear! I don't want to be really shallow or too focused on clothing but it really does make a difference on how you portray yourself to other people AND in how you feel about yourself. So, I set out to find myself a pant suit that I could wear to work functions.. Mind you that I don't have a $5,000 shopping budget like the victims on this show. I find that I am cheap. I know that if I went in to a store like Nordstrom or Macy's or something I would find much nicer clothing and it would not only fit better but it would probably last longer. But hey! How long do trends really last? So.. I go to see if I can find even just a cute jacket (blazer type without the huge shoulder pads) but alas, my shoulders are too wide, or my arms are too long or they only have Hot Pink. So, I am discouraged and at the same time, I don't really care! It is a wierd job that I have - I work from home. I can wear whatever I want MOST of the time - THEN every once in a while I will need to look really nice for work. So, I feel silly spending too much money on clothes I won't have reason to wear most of the time.. get it?

Wow. I can't believe that I just went off like that about clothing. What was I saying? Oh, I don't think I have blogged about our new house! I love it! If you haven't been there yet, I am so excited to show it off! Our dog also loves the new place because she gets to be inside with use - she is so helpful in the kitchen. Not. (I couldn't resist)

I don't know what I was going to blog about when I started this - but I think I should stop because it is feeling really random. God Bless!
