The Cast of Characters

This weekend we went to Disneyland Paris.  We took of Wednesday night after work, spent the night in a beautiful little town in France called Auxerre, and then drove the rest of the way early Thursday.  We literally spent every waking hour at Disney.  We would be there when the gates opened and would be there until around 9 pm when we couldn't take it any more and then we'd go back to the hotel lobby for a beer (or a milk depending on your age) and then hit the sack to do it all over again the next day.  However, I felt that this time was so much more fun than the last time.  Maybe because Sebastian is a little bit older and he therefore enjoyed it a lot more (although he was terrified of most rides in the beginning and then he started losing the fear as time wore on) or because the park is smaller and we were able to do a lot more (met a bunch of the characters, saw the different parades, rode the rides a bunch of times, etc.).  Or maybe because this was the second time for us doing it with two kids and we knew what to expect and were better prepared.  But whatever the reason it was amazing, truly the stuff of dreams.  Can't wait to do it again!  Here are a bunch of pictures with the characters.  My absolute favorite is Sebas kissing Belle (we stood in this line for 1 hour). 

Next up! Spain for my stepsister's wedding.  We are leaving on Wednesday spending the night in Madrid, then Thursday to Salamanca.

Gigi's Baby Shower

Image
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

Image
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
