We ate at Au Bon Pain, and had such a wonderful time. I cant believe I am back in my office (karen is walking back to hers and Shamma stopped at her florist)

The time just flew. I felt like I was meeting old friends.

I had my usual Chicken Ceasar wrap. I am not one for change, so anytime i go to ABP its all I eat.

Shamma is even more amazing in person. She is so soft spoken, so considerate, charming and funny. Can definatly learn a lot of wedding stuff from her.

Karen took a big step and got away from her office. It was so nice to meet her and for her to come to this area away from the WFC.

Both ladies are very lovely and we had a wonderful time.

We definatly missed XEROXGIRL

Mangia, cakes are pricey and they are not all that. I am glad you finally got something to eat.

Chippa, you make we wonder *shakes head in disbelief* Where do these thoughts come from?? Not from the sweet angelic face I just met for lunch....can't be, I think you sent your representative to lunch

i used to work out at NYSC. When i worked with Amex we had a corporate discount for our gym membership so i was in there everyday. then we moved to NJ and i never went back to the gym. my membership is well expired since i am no longer with amex

Finally got my computer back!!! I have been dying to borrow a staff's computer.

It was so nice to actually MEET some of the LIW ladies!!!!! I felt a little weird walking to the restaurant, but I quickly spotted Shamma and all was good with the world!!!! Talking to Shamma is TRULY like talking to an old friend - she gave Chippa and I lots of good wedding planning advice!!

I can't do next Wednesday - have a client obligation out on LI - but keep me posted on the next one!!!

No shamma, my lazy a$$ never darkens a gym doorway...hee hee

Actually, FH was nagging me to join...okay not nagging - encouraging - but there aren't enough hours in the day...I have sooo much schoolwork to do in addition to working for the slave drivers here...and by the way, I just now finished the project responsible for ruining my lunch plans at 5:00!

Re: Lunch with Shamma and Karen, the LIW Downtown Manhattan girls

Yes, I finally mailed out my contract - actually I forgot to do it yesterday again, so when I came in today I put it with the office mail so I wouldn't forget again... I'm such a scatterbrain at times!
