I'm actually reading a book

Okay as most of you know I'm not much of a book person. But here's the story.

I currently TIVO Oprah shows and when I get the time I watch the ones of interest to me and the other day I was watching her show and she started talking about her book club and the new read she was suggesting. Well it's about the holocaust and I'm just a huge history fan of the holocaust. I love watching movies about it, reading about it and I've even met survivors of it. The last part is probably why I've always been so interested in it.

But back to the subject of "Night" the new Oprah book club suggestion. Once she announced it she said that we didn't have much time to read it because she was going to have a show in the beginning of Feb. where she and the author will return to Germany and walk through the remains of the concentration camps. How cool....so long statement I've now purchased the book and will be reading it.

Just thought I would share that if anyone was interested in reading it too!

On the Road Again....Just can't wait

Well I haven't blogged much because I really haven't been doing anything exciting recently. I have been pulling some really long hours at work to get ready for our Annual Meeting in February. But at least that will pay off because John and I are invited to go. So we will be hitting the travel thing once again. Actually we have a few things coming up.

In February we will be going to Vegas for 5 days. Work is going to pay for the air fare for both of us, hotel, dinner, a show and then give us tons of giveaways including a $100 chip :) Soooooo exciting. But at least the work part of it I'm doing before we because I'm in charge of event registration and signage/logo/powerpoint creation. So my hard work will be done before I go and on day one of the trip so the rest is just paid for fun time!!

Then in March we are heading off for 7 fun filled days in San Francisco! We actually had this trip planned since last year for John's birthday but it's just a blast that's it's just a month after Vegas. We are really having fun planning for it. I actually already have a few things that are a must that we are doing

1. We are going to a Giants/A's exhibition game (the best of both worlds in one night) :)
2. We are going to ride a dinner train through Napa Valley with some great stops.
3. We are going to Alcatraz (a life long thing for me, I know weird)
4. And then of course we will visit some of John's cousins while we are out there.

It should be really fun. Since we love to travel and it's actually a state neither one of us has been to I'm just thrilled.

But if anyone has been to either place and have a favorite spot you would like to share we would love to hear about it......

Talk to you soon! I hope to post before we go to Vegas!!!
