What started as a WFH day with my BFAW (“Best Friend at Work”) on a TGIF abruptly morphed into a Tornado Emergency with my favorite weather team alongside communication with family via SnapChat. And now, after all is said and done, I am beyond SHOOK as I realize, shockingly, how my little house in the ‘burbs survived tornadic destruction by way of some sort of bubble within the Omadome. Now, as cleanup continues way too close to home, the everyday nuances of life seem so much more precious than they did only a few short days ago, and I’m left with a new perspective… both good and bad of life in this crazy world and how it can change unexpectedly within just seconds. Holding my loved ones so much tighter and closer while keeping an eye over my shoulder for more unexpectedness.

Yes, it's been a long year of working from home, but I REALLY TRULY hope this is not how I will appear to the world as I crawl out of quarantine and return to my beloved on-site office once again in the near future:
After weeks of preparation with dress-buying, dusting off of the black patent leather spiked heels, hotel reservation securing, and meditational deep breathing, last week culminated with all of the amazingness appearing in the above photo gallery - and more, actually, but I'm exercising a little bit of blog restraint to protect identities of teammates who likely read my posts. And now, just days after experiencing all that glitzy award ceremony excitement, I'm still feeling the happy endorphins and finding myself seeking out next year's ensemble - and looking forward to another ME night camped out at the fabulously posh Omaha Marriott Downtown at the Capitol District where I already know I'll be treated like royalty all over again.
(Yes Marriott, I got your email and will be hitting you up on some of your fine swag, too.) |
