Having a husband that knows the meaning of NOTHING...priceless

My husband wrote this after coming back from vacation to share with his colleagues at work. They say the first step is admitting that there is a problem, right? ;)

Many of you asked me how my vacation went…so I thought I give you a quick summary.

After a long trip down to PR (with many delays because of bad weather and airplane problems) I decided that my goal for the next week was going to be to sit down, drink and do nothing
My goal was that from the moment the sun came out….
To the moment the sun set…
To sit down by the ocean with a drink in hand doing nothing.
I put Ivette to work…

I put my mom to work…

Put my sister to work…

And even her boyfriend who I don’t know very well…

Still, with no father supervision, my kids decided to do whatever they wanted, including but not limited to:

Sebastian decided it was time to do as dad and have a beer

Or maybe 2…

Or maybe 3 (just to get a nice buzz)…

And, why not, he decided to eat sushi to help with the hangover

Gabriela decided that it was a good idea to do some nude bathing in a non-nudist beach…

And take advantage of me while I was, well, doing nothing…

Still, seeing no reprimands from dad they both decided to take on surfing…


Take baths in places they weren’t supposed to

And fight a lot of course

While all this was going on, I was well….. doing nothing

I mean, nothing…

I mean really nothing….

That was, in a nutshell, how my vacation went. Priceless.

Gigi's Baby Shower

Even though I had barely done any planning with the exception of sending out the Evite , I did manage to pull off a very nice baby shower for Gigi. We did it at Essencha Tea House on Madison because we were too many to do it at the Bonbonerie . I got some decorations at Factory Card Outlet and recycled some other ones from Ida's baby shower last September. We had a great showing and the food at Essencha Tea House was really great. I had to bring Gabi with me because Jose had a soccer game but she did OK, even though she was a little tired because she skipped her afternoon nap. In any case, if anyone has a baby or wedding shower to plan, or just wants to go to eat at a nice place, I highly recommend Essencha Tea House . Oh, and the best part is that they serve breakfast all day, which as any friend of mine can bear witness to, is a HUGE plus for me. Speaking of which, after we got home and Gabi finally napped, we went to Boston Market followed by Graeter's . And tha

Marketing Jobs

In my current job I see a lot of people undergoing job transitions and looking to expand their networks in order to improve their chances of future job placement.  Today I met a very interesting woman who had a very similar profile to mine, minus the international experience.  She wanted to talk to me given my similar profile in Marketing and see how I saw the job market these days. She seemed to think that it's harder and harder to find jobs in Marketing in Peru these days. One of the reasons? It seems that because of the economic downturn and the uncertainty about the election results (sounds just like the US, I know) companies are cutting back on Marketing budgets. Sounds familiar right? DON'T. CUT. BACK. ON. MARKETING. BUDGETS. FOLKS.  Maybe there's some fat that you can trim here and there, maybe you change your marketing vehicles in favor of more cost efficient ones like Digital (and I'm not saying you should), maybe you focus more on Trade Marketing or Price
