As I mentioned in my earlier blog posts, my 2009 got off to a great start, having been notified of my MVP award and my selection to the
INETA Speakers Bureau. Some of my really good friends also received their MVP awards (some for the first time) or appointment to the INETA Speakers Bureau, or in a few cases, both.
So yesterday, Jan 2 2009, had a lot to live up to. I'm happy to say it didn't disappoint.
A couple things happened yesterday, but the biggest is that my good friend Amanda Laucher (
@Pandamonial on Twitter) got married. Now you're probably thinking "big deal, people get married all the time" but Amanda's not the type to just do what everyone else does...so not only did she get married, she did so in Vegas, whilst skydiving and twittering. Needless to say, the twitterverse was abuzz, not only by the way she got married, but also by the
surprise factor, since she announced she was doing it literally just a couple hours before it happened. (So... a big CONGRATS to
those two crazy kids!)
So what was the other thing? Well, it's not quite as exciting or cool, but I got bumped to first class on my flight home. I know, you're thinking "so what?" but it's the little things man... you have to look for victories, however small, wherever you can find them.
So, like I said, so far 2009 has been a pretty good year. Let's see how today goes.
