Sleepless in BKK

  On my first few days here in Bangkok, I had the worst case of jetlag that defied even the strongest sleep aid meds.  Fortunately, as a fashionista, a panacea exists: online shopping in the wee hours of the morning! 
Who knew it could work better than sleeping pills?

On Repeat

  Our Program Director asked me if I could extend my first trip in Thailand for 4 more weeks.  I told him I'm ok with it, but just have one dilemma:  I will have to repeat outfits.

Narciso Rodriguez for Kohls (Part 18): A New Chapter

Sawatdee Ka! 

So I took a giant leap of faith, left my very cushy project in Central America for 

a new adventure in the Land of a  Thousand Smiles! 

My very first day at the client site was a rollercoaster of emotions, excitement and varying levels of expectations.   

To summarize, my first 30 minutes at the new office went like this...

Good: I was told I'll be presenting in a meeting.

Bad: The meeting is in 20 minutes. 

Worse:  There are at least 120 people in the meeting! 

Worst: All the hot shots are in attendance, front and center -- CEO, CIO, CFO, COO! 

Somehow, I must have pulled it off.  

At the end of my very impromptu presentation, the CEO said I made the system more

exciting than they think it is. 

I have my outfit to thank for it.

Night Out

In my 11 years of marriage, I can only count the number of times I went out clubbing and 

partying with the hubby:  Zero.

Partying and clubbing WITHOUT the hubby:  an even more resounding ZERO!

Last week was an exception.  And thus, deserves a placeholder on this blog. 

For the first time in the history of ever, the hubz let me go out dance the night away. 

Without him.   I thought it was the end of the world but I didn't dare question so off I went

wearing this outfit.  Well, with a different pair of shoes, but who cares. 

I went out and partied and danced til the wee hours of the morning -- and never felt so alive. 

I really need to drag the hubz to these fun nighttime soirees.   

He doesn't need to dance, 

he can just watch me dance.
