Roadtrip to Asheville

It was a beautiful weekend and flights weren't "wide open" Friday night so we decided to DRIVE to Asheville. I also wanted to take Brrrian this huge canvas that will not fit on the plane. He's going to paint me a HUGE peacock!! (right Brrrrian?????) The drive was beautiful through the mountains. (more so on the trip home Sunday during the day) But by the time we got there at 1030p, Brrrrian was 3 sheets to the wind!!!!

He and Jen were with some friends at a bar down the road from thier place, so Brrrian just walked over to let us put our stuff in his apartment, and then we went back to meet Jen......and there she was...............boy oh boy!!!!
Brian had on a cool white hat and his new EXTREE WHITE shoes (jen's favorites)

OH THAT BRRRRRRRRIAN!!!!!

We had a fun time. I love where they live....big windows look out to the mountains and you step out there door and can walk to everything. Really cool!

Jen and Brrrrian even sang a duet for Nester......totally impromptu! click below to view

We had planned a "creative weekend" with Greg and Cynthia at their fun house. They are the owners/creators of Green Girl Studios and soooooooo inspiring to me!! They both work out of their home. Between Greg's production equiptment downstairs and Cynthia's studio upstairs, I could've spent days going through their house....they just have their hands in everything. They have the BIGGEST cat I have ever seen!!! After hanging out at a festival downtown all day, we went to their house for Chicken Adobo....DELISH!!! (we made it at home later that week, its a keeper!) In the evening we went to Brrian's friends house for a bonfire...course they broke out the drums....and I felt like I was in college again. It was great!! We never did get to the PMC class, which actually was the original reason for the trip, but I decided the things I want to do with the PMC for next time.......still need to pick a date for that trip???

NEW DELTA!!!!

Woo-Hoo!! The new Delta!!!! It has been an exciting few weeks since we emerged from bankruptsy ....party party ...first there was the unveiling of the new livery...its very cool, I think.....and they made it sooooooooo dramatic!! The plane below was hidden behind a HUGE white screen. There were some speeches from the big wigs...yada yada yada (no they really were great actually) and everyone was cheering really loud....they blasted U2's "Its a Beautiful Day" and let the screen drop. The executives, along with 100 lucky emplyees got to ride on the inagural flight that did a "fly-by" the offices, then around Atlanta.

And then it was PARTY TIME!!!!

Smita held a kick-ass "emergance party" at her place!! It was a Monday night, but no one seemed to care!! Plenty of friends, food, drinks, and dancing!!

Our EVP threw our department an awesome party at Compound one of the hottest clubs in the ATL. A few of my friends came over to my house for pre party drinks and the tallest guy below(Scott) had to shower again....hes really weird....doesnt eat all day at work, takes way too many showers, and drops a lot of HR Bombs!!!!He is also my boss!? ( this could be a whole other blogroll)

David, also known as SWARTZ, Me, Maritza, Scott, Mendy, Judd, and Jennifer.
They sold raffle tickets before the party and had some unbelievable prizes, so I bought $20 worth.....and although I didnt win what I wanted....the confirmed business class tickets anywhere Northwest flys, Korean Air tiks (I have to get to Asia) the hotels in europa, the Four Seasons in NY....ooooh the list went on and on.......I was, however the only person in my group that actually won something. What was it?? A half hour in the simulators at Boeing. Now....I know, I know......it's going to be fun! But you know me.....travel is #1!!!
