Yes, I'm that busy...

Yes, with all that has been going into preparing for our sales meeting this week, I've been floored with work that has left it nearly impossible for me to blog very much. It sucks too because the tour has been pretty cool the past few days.

Sastre wins today and CSC has the Schleck brothers flogging Evans as well. I sure wish that Cadel would've tried some aggression this year. If he loses this Tour it will be for two reasons alone; 1) Silence-Lotto does not have the team to support a GC contender and B) he has gifted the race to Sastre, or whoever wins, by riding too conservatively. Christain Vande Velde is one of my new favorite riders too. He's exceeded ALL of my expectations of him and has surprised many by how well he has done. Garmin-Chipotle has to be applauded for the performance of the team. They've done a stellar job- nobody can doubt their legitimacy.

Sales Meeting begins officially tomorrow night with the opening ceremonies and dinner. It'll be great to get started and move on to the part of the job I really love the most- talking about the bikes! We run through Saturday and then I get Sunday off to relax and HOPEFULLY try to ride a bike again. The PowerPoint presentation is done and I am stopping myself from making any more changes to it... I have to stop!

I had the punkin until this morning when I took her to Y-Camp. I already miss her.


As I've said before- she's my buddy.

Posting may or may not happen over the next few days. I have been trying to set up my camera phone to work with Blogger, but so far it is not working. I'll keep trying because it would be great to be able to do quick posts from the meetings. I am also going to try to get video of my presentation/s... so keep an eye out for that too.

Ok... tomorrow is a LONG day, so it's time for bed.

Groundhog Day

It feels like Groundhog Day, not because the same things keep happening again and again- like in the Bill Murray movie- but because I feel like a groundhog sticking its head out of the ground.

The end of this week is the Spring Launch Sales Meeting for us, which means a lot of work getting ready... again. The catalog is off to the printer and is being printed this week so that I have enough to hand to our sales force while they are here. I am working on my meeting presentation, in that damned PowerPoint again...


The bikes need to be cleaned and readied for their debuts to the sales folks and I have to contain myself to a 2 hour block of time. For those who know me (I'm looking at you Donna), that's like asking a fish not to swim. Ugh. But I'll manage.

Anyway, I just wanted to pop my head out of the ground and say hello... because it could be a few more days before I'm able to come back for a real post here. But I WILL be back... sorry.
