Blog Postponed

I am leaving for China on Saturday morning, so once again, I will not be able to post. Come back around May 13th...I will try to post as soon as I get back :)

One Hundred Eleven | Cut

My dad has told me several times that they should have named me Grace...because I'm so Graceful.

Well, if you knew my dad, he is full of shit! :)

How many people do you know that would stop trying to make it stop bleeding, just to take a picture? Yeah....not many!

One Hundred Ten | Blooming

I'm normally not really good with my plants, but my little tree is blooming rather nicely this spring :)

One Hundred Nine | Avocado Yumminess

Um, I love avocados! If you don't eat them...you should!!! They make everything better!

One Hundred Eight | Snacks Round 2

Going to China....AGAIN!

Here is just a few of my American snacks that will be crossing the pond with me :)

One Hundred Seven | Detailed

Look at my pretty car!!! We had a car washing day at work...all hand done, fully detailed, and waxed! Yay! It looks so pretty :)

One Hundred Six | Sandy

It was my first "official" beach day of the year! (I went back in February with my parents, but we didn't stay long and didn't tan...so, that doesn't count!) I didn't bring my camera with me today...didn't really feel like dealing with the sand. So, this was from my camera on my phone...It was a nice beach day, burned my feet though :(

One Hundred Five | Yum Yum

It's Taco night!! MMMM, yum yum! Had it in a salad....Consumed enough carbs in China to last me a lifetime!

One Hundred Four | "ME" Day

I took the day off today, and had some me time!

A massage and a mani/pedi :) Makes me feel all nice and relaxed...

Not usually one for taking photos of my feet....but, at least they are all nice and manicured :)

One Hundred Three | BOGO

I heart sales.

One Hundred Two | Snack

Not too much happening today. I did go work out tonight, which its been awhile. Thought I would have a healthier snack because of it :)

One Hundred One | GIfts from Home!

I got a package in the mail today, an Easter gift package from my sissy :)

Love all the goodies :)

One Hundred | Decisions

Purple, silver, red, or houndstooth?!

2 wheels? 4 wheels?

One fish, two fish, red fish, blue fish?!     hehe, JK!

I went with red and 4 wheels :) Yay! I love new things!

Not the best pic ever...I was in a hurry!

Ninety Nine | Happy Easter!

I hope everyone had fun hunting eggs today! Happy Easter!

Ninety Eight | Sunshine

Another beautiful day in Florida...but, I am still jet lagged and doing laundry, fun stuff!

Ninety Seven | Dunzo!

Well, I think my luggage has seen all the airports it can see...I'm not quite sure if they would let me use a bag that was all ripped up! Thought I would share it's life experiences with you all...

Over 8 years, it has gone through...

Move from Wisconsin to Fargo for school
two moves during school
Trip to Mexico
Trip to Europe
Move back home to Wisconsin
Move across country to Florida
Trips to about 6 or so states
Trip to Puerto Rico
Trip to Canada
Trip to Indonesia
Trip to Vietnam
and it's final trip to China

Kind of fun to actually go through all of the places that I have been over the years...so many great experiences!

Ninety Six | Bye Bye China!

Pudong Airport...so glad to be here!!! Love the architecture as well!

Ninety Five | Kindly Reminder

Just a kindly reminder! Lol. These are placed at all the smoking areas in the plant...wish they would be in all of the restaurants and public places, because China hasn't quite figured out the whole no smoking indoors yet.

Ninety Four | Teamwork

Now this, is what I call team work! Who needs a ladder, when you have friends!

Ninety Three | I can't remember where I parked!

Imagine trying to find your bike in this mess!

One of the bike parking areas at the Wanvog Furniture plant

Ninety Two | Details

Day two of the photo shoot...we were making everything look lived in, so we had a lot of details all over the place.

Ninety One | Photoshoot

Worked on a photo shoot today for the new China website. Loved working with the photographer...stressed me out a lot more than I thought it would, but overall it was a great experience!

Ninety | Choices, Choices

Snake or Bull Frog? I just can't decide! Oh wait, there is turtle too!!!

Eighty Nine | Interesting China Experience

Not quite the experience any of us were thinking of coming to China, nor one that anyone would want. Poor Amber got really sick about half way through our trip...luckily we got her to the hospital in time, because she had Cellulitis.

Hospitals suck, whether you are in the US or in China! I went with her to get one of her IV's. I'm glad she didn't have to be admitted to the hospital, but wanted to keep her company while she got her meds.

Eighty Eight | Pile it up!

I feel like it's a game...how high can you go until something starts falling off. The Chinese are really good at this game!

Eighty Six | Vino

Enjoying a glass of Chinese wine...nice way to end a hectic day!

Eighty Seven | Chinese SURPRISE

When you go to a Chinese restaurant that has no English on their menu and no one who speaks English, you really rely on pictures for what you want to order. Well, this time it didn't work out so well for me...thought we were ordering green beans...turns out that it was hot peppers. Yikes!

Eighty Five | Pearl City

Endless amount of jewelry for your selection! Even this lovely snake number...thanks Katie for being my lovely hand model :)

Eighty Four | Three Amigos

Just 3 girls in Shanghai :)

Eighty Three | Sweet Tooth

Love me some Tiramisu! It wasn't the best tiramisu I have ever had, but you gotta love the presentation!

Eighty Two | What's for dinner?

Looks like a good choice right???

Eighty One | Rawr!

Took a little stroll through the park.

Eighty | Busy

Working Working Working

Seventy Nine | Organized Chaos

The organized madness of product planning...kinda crazy to think that the store opening is right around the corner!

Seventy Eight | Sky High

Came across this awesome grass sculpture on the side of this building. Love!

Seventy Seven | mmmmm, Pizza!

Even though I couldn't read the box...Papa John's still tastes the same in China!

 

Seventy Six | Men vs. Women

I love the different bathroom signs in China. They are hilarious!

Seventy Five | Megatron

I feel a little safer driving in China with Megatron on our side :)

Seventy Four | Packing the necessities

My personal grocery store! It's good to have familiar snacks in China!
