Heaven...

Spa Virgin... no more! After a strong recommendation from my friend Garrett to treat myself to a quarterly facial, it finally happened. This weekend my friend Shila and I went to the Akasha Day Spa for an afternoon of pampering. After our hour long facials we were both relaxed and feeling great! I can see myself becoming a bit of a spa junky if I'm not careful (but thankfully the price will probably detour that from happening.) As a treat, they are soooo worth it and we all deserve a little luxury now and again! If you've never had a good facial I strongly recommend it. Incase you don't want one, you can surely donate to my next facial fund.

Ten Years Later...

It's hard to believe that today marked ten years at my current place of employment. TEN Years!! It's weird to fathom that amount of time working for the same company, but low and behold, here I am. To say that time flew by might be an understatement. To put it in perspective when I got hired and how far we've come, I looked up some of the goings-on making headlines way back in 1998, an era before blogs, iPhones, TMZ and American Idol.


-David Spade (Just Shoot Me) is featured on the cover of Entertainment Weekly the week I was hired.
-President Bill Clinton denies he had "sexual relations" with intern Monica Lewinsky on television. January 26
-The 1998 Winter Olympics were held in Nagano, Japan. February
-The 70th Academy Awards, hosted by Billy Crystal, are held with Titanic winning a record 11 Oscars. March 23
-The FDA approves Viagra for the use as a treatment for male impotence. March 27
-Disney's Animal Kingdom theme park opens for business. April 22
-Apple Computer unveils the iMac. May 7
-Seinfeld airs it's last episode. May
-The Chicago Bulls win their 6th NBA title in 8 years when they beat the Utah Jazz, 87-86 in Game 6. June 14
-I turn 20 years-old. July 19
-Dawson's Creek, Sex and the City, That 70's Show and Who Wants to be a Millionaire all debut in 1998.

Obviously a lot has happens in a decade. Back then who would have believed I'd have My (own) Space, not to mention a couple blogs on the Internet-- (WTF is a blog?!)-- albeit a very slow and dial-up driven world wide web. I was just a fresh faced teenager starting out on my own, getting a job at the front desk of a downtown hotel. Somehow I've worked my way up to a management level position with a cushy (yet creatively unfullfilling) desk job. It has served me well and I have met some cool people and made some great friends along the way. But I know I'm destined for bigger and better things. (Why do you think I finally got my ass back into school!?!) I've got talents to share with the world. And as that opportunity to do so inches closer, the anticipation builds at what the next ten years holds for me. Happy Ten Year Anniversary to me... but more importantly...

... HAPPY EARTH DAY TO US!
