This past Thursday I went to the ASI Trade Show in NYC.  It was a fabulous show!  So many people where, there and it was great to see all the new fun products coming out.  We did a lot of walking so naturally I was very hungry.  Half way through the show we stopped to get mini hot dogs.  They were so good; however they left me with hot dog breath. This is a big problem since we had to continue to meet and great and talk to everyone.  Luckily I scored some Promotional Mints to help save my breath.  I was able to continue the show and not worry! These mints are a great idea for any giveaways!

Mother's Day is just around the corner.  This Mother's day my sister and I are visiting my mom up in Pennsylvania. We are surprising her and driving up on Friday night and spending the weekend there.  We sent her flowers to arrive on Friday to throw her off. She loves roses, so we sent her a rose bush that she can plant and outside in her garden.  To go with that I am going to give her some Promotional Garden Accessories, on Mother's Day.  She is growing a green thumb and is trying to grow her own vegetable garden on the side of the house and also grow giant sun flowers by our pond. I'm excited to her and spend a beautiful weekend with my family!

Over the weekend I was blessed and got to baby sit my niece for several nights.  The first night was difficult, she cried until she fell asleep, it was sad to watch.  Then the second day she became obsessed with my customized stainless steel Water Bottle.  It was one of those stainless steel bottles with a carabiner at the top.  She is always hot from running around and the bottle was nice and cool. She loved playing with it, and went to sleep with it in her arms. It was a very nice night, thanks to my promotional water bottle!

We have a magic pen fairy at Motivators.  Every couple of months this magic pen fairy comes around the office and delivers Motivators favorite pen to everybody. I have not caught a glimpse of him yet.  This amazing pen I speak of is the Uni-Ball Jet Stream.  It is by far my favorite pen that I have ever written with. There is no comparison thus far.  It is a sad day when your Jet Stream runs out.  It comes in 3 colors so everyone in the office is happy! I recommend this Promotional Pen to everybody!

This past weekend I went to Pennsylvania to visit my parents.  Me and my mom thought it was a good idea to not tell my dad and to surprise him.  So I rolled in at 11 pm on Friday and tip toed into the house to surprise him.  To my surprise he was playing with a new puppy, and we both scream!  The puppy is so cute.  He is a half Lab and half Springer spaniel mix.  They named him Lucas and he is a little angel.  It was very hard to leave him on Sunday.  I have already started buying so many toys from him, and getting great ideas from our Promotional Pet Products.  I can't wait to go back on Mothers Day and see how big he gets!

I am very excited for this up coming weekend.  This weekend the New England ATV Motocross finally kicks off.  The first round is in Walden, NY and it is the closest race to me all year.  I am going to cheer on all my friends who I have not go to see since the season ended in the fall.  The series is a quads exclusive race and travels across New England and ends in October.  Its once of the longest atv race series around. Hopefully this year I can catch more than one race.  I will be sure to come back with many pictures!

Over the this past weekend I visited my parents in Pennsylvania.  They have moved 5 hours away so it was a great chance to break in my new car. The weather was amazing. The main reason I went was to attend a fundraiser at our local track for a rider who got injured.  We did a parade lap and then had a cookout to raise money for medical bills.   My dad and I manned the grill for the cookout.  It was a great time cooking alongside my dad.  I finally got to use my Promotional BBQ Set.  My dad is an avid barbequer and was very impressed with my new equipment! The tracks where in great condition and everyone had a great time.

This morning a few of my sales mates and I were lucky and got to go on a field trip to a local factory.  We got to see close up how some of our best selling items are made.  It was very enlightening on how the imprinting process goes down.  One of the items is our popular are the Promotional Hand Sanitizers Sprays. These are a great promotional item, especially with cold and flu season approaching.  I am still getting over my sickness from last week, and my sanitizer spray is attached to my hip. These sanitizer sprays can be done in full color and look great.  They are eye catching and will get your companies name out there!

I don't know about you but I am still recovering from my St. Paddy's Day weekend. On Saturday I went into the city with my best friend and we had a great time.  It was amazing, every year there are more and more people lining the streets.  My friend and I made matching Thing 1 and Thing 2 shirts, that where a big hit.  Unfortunately some where I caught a bug that is causing the longest hangover ever.  Today I woke up with a fever and a nasty cough.  So despite this I went into work but I armed myself with plenty of promotional antibacterial spray, in hopes of not spreading my germs.  I also stocked a jar of honey, a bottle of Robitussin, crackers and cough drops.  I am hoping I make it through the week.  Does anybody have any suggestions on how to get rid of a cough quickly?

So it has been about one week that I have been living on my own and things are going well!  One of the best things about it is I finally get to cook.  Previously my Mother or my Grandma ruled the kitchen and I was never allowed in.  Now I am free to experiment and make a mess! I finally get to use all my Promotional Kitchen Items, which have been in storage.  Last night I made delicious home made macaroni and cheese, which I shared with my niece! As you can see she loved it and then danced all night long!
