Who's a Jetsetter?

Today I was up at 4AM in a car by 5:20 and on a plane by 7. I was in West Palm Beach by 10:30 and on the road by 10:45. I did two site inspections at two different mansions in Palm Beach and was back at the airport by 1. My co-worker kept sending texts making jokes about, "are you having fun yet?" and things like that.

And my people. I was having a blast. I felt so cosmopolitan, so Thoroughly Modern Millie I could barely stand it. If I hadn't recently lost my Armani sunglasses while out with a couple of 25 year olds, it would have been the perfect day. The transportation was flawless, the places were amazing, the weather was gorgeous and because of my corporate card, I was able to get into the Crown Room on the way back.

I was home by 7:00.

I think the best part of the day was an IM conversation I had today that started after I got a phone message accusing me of screening my calls.
TP: i would have answered your call but I was on a plane and they wouldn't let me use my phone.

Dan: a plane?? where the hell are you?

TP: palm beach. i'll be back tonight.

Dan: u r 2 mucho

TP: I told you. I am a big time event producer. I flew down this AM, looked at two insane mansions and now I'm back at the airport where I plan to drown my "flight delayed" sorrows in free drinks at the crown room.

Dan: mansions? crown room? who the hell are you?

TP: I am The Princess.

Hi My People.

Sorry I've been gone so long. It's January and January is our busiest month at the office. Three of our largest clients have their two largest meetings in January ... This year two of them are within days of each other. We have people who are flying from the first gig in Vegas directly to Palm Beach for the second.

Plus, I usually wrote the blog at work and then I got called out for being a slack ass -- it was true. I was spending the majority of the day blogging or IM-ing HRH. (You guys remember HRH. She was that other person who blogged here until she added another person to her life, the well blogged about Quotation Mark, A, Close Quote.) So, I've straightened up and have actually been working at work. Anyway, that's where I've been.For HRH and "A" ... Looks like we got some loving going on and HRH is gonna focus on her little Wii master right now. Remember that fun, have to spend every minute together, excited to see them every time to the point you get butterflies phase? That's where she's been. She'll be back.

Anyway. Don't take it personally. I still love you.
