Watching American Idol audition week # god knows what, thinking that I'm really getting over the auditions already. Also wondering why the hell I'm in a town that's this cold, but at least thankful that I'm going down to Miami in a few weeks to warm weather and good friends. Which just means I need to keep losing the damn baby weight and seeing how the hell I motivate myself to go to the gym at least 3 times a week. Every time I think I'm actually creating the habit I lose steam. Let's face it working out will never be my cup of tea. Wish I could go back to dancing with the teeny boppers like I used to in Puerto Rico. That would help with the weight! You know how they say after a while you can't blame the weight on the baby, well I plan on milking that excuse for as long as possible.

Anyway, wish I could do tons of things like I used to be able to in PR, like dance, go to the beach, be in warm weather, have fun at work, have friends to go out with. Can't complain that I have traded all that off for a beautiful daughter, but I just wish my life (at least at work) didn't so closely resemble freaking Office Space.

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.

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
