My Best Friend's Wedding

My best friend got married this past weekend. I have known her since college and she's one of those friends that you can not talk to for a long time, but then when you do talk it's like you pick up right where you left off.  She has a really bad potty mouth, so seeing her in a wedding dress looking so beautiful made me really happy. Come to think of it, this might be the first time I ever saw her wear makeup.

Beth and Henry came as well.  The ceremony was on Friday and I was able to go (I wasn't officially invited, but I went anyway). Friday night Liz had everyone over for a pig roast at their house.  Saturday Beth and I took Henry for a long walk (much longer than we had planned) along the Cliff Walk and then past all of the mansions.

Newport is a great city and I can't wait to visit again.

    Please edit this post to mention how you tried to sabotage my makeup job by distracting me while I applied LAYER AFTER LAYER of foundation! Your pictures are pure professional and when you move up to this region to start your photography studio I'll be your first/best testimonial!! Love you xoxo

No more trips to Vietnam

Well, last week was a big week for me. I decided to leave FCG and return to work for Coca-Cola Enterprises. I had been talking with the people I know at CCE since late last year about working with them and they finally had a position open up a couple of weeks ago. I'm excited to go back there and work on the business side of the company versus the IT side. I start on Apri l16. I will be working in the Revenue Management Department as the Forecasting & Planning Manager. Essentially I will be the business process owner, facilitator, and coordinator of all forecasting and planning activities within the company. That involves working with all of the regional and corporate business units to ensure that the tools and related processes are thoroughly integrated across finance, revenue management, supply chain, logistics and sales. I will also be responsible for managing all of the support tools and solutions, so I still get to be a Project Manager. This is a big job with lo

Dublin & Beyond

I arrived in Dublin Wednesday evening. Somehow the 1-hour flight from Heathrow made it in 30 minutes. How is that even possible? I'm staying at The Marker Hotel again. I stayed at The Marker when I first came to Dublin two years ago. Back then, it was their grand opening. This is one of the nicest hotels I've ever stayed in. Incredible service (more on that in a bit). Thursday and Friday I was teaching a 2-day Tableau class at the Facebook office. Since I was last here, Facebook has moved into a new office right next to The Marker.

We kind of had to go here since nothing else was open. All of the pubs stop serving food at like 5:30pm. It's strange! We enjoyed a light meal of fish before taking on these amazing desserts. I went for the r

Double Chocolate Chip Dream Cookies

If you love chocolate, these are the cookies for you. The name says it all...Double Chocolate Chip Dream Cookies. Indeed, they are a dream! It takes about 10 minutes to make the batter, then eight minutes to cook. You can be eating these in less time than it takes to watch an episode of The Office. To make them vegan:  Use 1/4 cup of applesauce (from Whole Foods in the UK) for each egg Replace the butter with margarine (make sure it's stick margarine) Use dark chocolate chips (you can get a 2KG bag of chocolate chips at Costco).  Unlike last time, when I used tub margarine and melted it too much, use stick margarine and let it come to room temperature to soften. This made a HUGE difference.  They're super delicious! Enjoy!
