Ok, so the night before last I couldn’t sleep, so I was exhausted by the end of the day – meeting with people, speaking, etc.. But this time I’m just as frustrated in the the other direction. I hate it when you over sleep!!! I hate being late (just said “hate” twice – I have to check my heart on that one). I set my alarm this morning for 7:30a (eastern time, because I’m still in ATL), but it was on vibrate and on the other side of my room. The bummer part about this whole thing was I actually woke up at 7:27, felt good, and thought to myself, “Perfect, I finally had a good night sleep!” Then, the next thing I know I woke up at 8:20…and had a breakfast appointment at 8:00! Oops.

Sound like a college-age person’s excuse? They wouldn’t lie about it, but they wouldn’t exactly tell you they also stayed up until 4:00am. For me, however, I went to bed at 11:30. Not sure that makes it any better…but it’s the truth.

Anyway, luckily the guy I was meeting was in the lobby, having a cup of coffee and reading. We ended up having a great talk.

I just went to an “Orange After Party” which was fun. I also met a guy that has edited some of my articles – yet never even knew he existed!!!! Amazing how you send an article to someone and then someone else on the other side of the country edits it!? He was a cool guy though.

Now I’m off to have lunch with some people and then to the airport! I can’t wait to see my family…it’s hard being gone.
