Monday Musings... On Love

The Love Shack, Fort Worth Stockyards

The beautiful couple's first dance

My handsome Mr.

Love is all you need

Love is definitely on my mind today
Watching two soulmates' journeys on their path
and the culmination of those two becoming one
I can't help but think about my journey
And how lucky we are to have each other
How he's made my journey more adventurous, and somehow safer
How I've never laughed harder than when he's being silly
How I still get butterflies when we kiss
That no matter where we are, as long as I'm with my love, I'm home
How The Beatles had it right
All You Need is Love, Love is All You Need

You get paid to do what?

Friends, I'm so sorry I've been MIA since last week. I was planning to put up a blog post telling you I'd be MIA, but then I got busy getting ready to be MIA and forgot to tell anyone where I was. 

So I'm sorry I've been missing, but this is what I was doing

It's about 15 miles to the LOVE SHACK!

Friends, that's me singing karaoke to Love Shack. I know what you're thinking. "Michele, that's nothing. Everyone does karaoke. And every one sings 'Love Shack' when they sing karaoke." Not so fast. 

I'm not only doing karaoke, but I'm doing karaoke at a client's trade show. And my duet partner to my right, is one of my client's customers. Oh, and did I mention that this client is a brand new client that I just met face-to-face for the first time on Sunday?


Now how big is this photo? 


So I was at my (new) client's user conference coordinating and supporting their on-site social media efforts. So I promise that I was really working. In fact, I was working so hard, that I needed to have a little fun. So when the customer (whom I'd met the night before "networking" at the hotel bar) said he wanted to do karaoke, and asked if I'd be interested in singing with him, I couldn't say no. I mean, we were only singing in front of about 2,500 professional people.


I don't mean to brag, but we tore the house down! It was such a fun experience, and was special to walk off the stage and get high fives from people who really thought you were good. So needless to say, sometimes my job is REALLY awesome, especially when I'm getting paid to support on-site social media in a really fun location, and sing karaoke to thousands of adoring fans. 

Oh, and about my outfit. It's my new favorite. I have some picture posts for you coming soon, but it's pretty fair to say that I might have a crush on that skirt.
