Back in Black
I'm back from a whirlwind trip to Cleveland, a bit more bedgraggled and a bit smarter.
Lesson #1: When "packing light" and bringing only one pair of shoes for an overnight business trip, do NOT choose the 4 inch stilletto heels. No matter how great they look, you will regret your decision before you even make it through airport security. By the third hour, every step will be agony, and you will have to fight to keep up with the men striding down the hallway in their damn loafers.
Lesson #2: Always opt for the upgrade to the "concierge floor". For just $10 more, you get an open bar happy hour, free wireless internet, upgraded bath products, and a bathtub big enough for two.
From a business perspective, the trip was GREAT. The client was impressed, they are interested in doing follow-up work, and my feet are slowly recovering. I also returned to find that my first large 6-month Big Idea investment had broken even after just two months--which means that it's all profits from here on out. Roll out the bling, baby, here I come.

*Congrats* to you!
More $ + aching feet means more trips to DSW, right?!?
Welcome back!
