Cheers to a "Glitzy" CHA WINTER 2009!

Okaaaaaay. I am way overdue for a post on this little blog of mine. I just wanted to say how STOKED I am to be working in the Glitz Design booth at CHA WINTER 2009! Since designing for Glitz is my "side job", I can only work in the booth on Saturday (booth set-up day) and Sunday (Jan. 24-25), because I have to work at the office during the regular work week. I would love NOTHING MORE than to work in the Glitz booth for the entire duration of the show, and it's killing me that I can't!

On another note, I'm finally feeling a LOT better after being sick with a combination of things for the last 2 weeks. After we got back from Mammoth, I came down with a "light" cold, which turned into full-blown Laryngitis - lost my voice and developed a lovely dry cough. Just when I started getting my voice back, and feeling "sort of" better (still had the dry cough), I got ANOTHER cold! This time it was a doozy, and I finally made an appointment with the doctor (who is actually my OBGYN but lets me "use" him as my primary care physician). So, I went to my appointment, and was sitting in the waiting room with all these pregnant women, trying SO hard not to appear OBVIOUSLY sick (because I'm sure the last thing they want is to catch my nasty cold, and worse, not even be able to take any medications for it since they're pregnant. FYI: I totally look forward to getting pregnant, but man... that whole ban on medications for 9 months is gonna really suck.) when all of a sudden I got that dreaded “tickle” in the back of my throat. I literally bolted out the door so I could cough my lungs out in the hallway. Of course, they all heard me – they had to have heard me. It wasn’t long after I walked back in that I heard my name to “come on back” to see the doctor. He looked at my throat with a giant lamp and said “WHOOOAAA! Your throat is RED!” and quickly proceeded to take a throat culture, prescribed me some Penicillin, and some cough decongestant syrup with CODENE (or as Chad likes to call it “Katye’s Happy Loopy Medicine”). So – I pretty much lived in one spot on our couch for 4 days straight, in and out of loopy consciousness. Ugh. The upside to all of this is that I watched a BILLION movies! It was AWESOME!

I’m SO glad I got better in time for CHA, and I can't wait to finally spend some quality "face" time with the Glitz girls (Erin, Ginger and Laura). It will be SO interesting/scary/exciting/freaky to witness people's reactions to my designs. I'm especially excited about my newest line, titled "Rebel".


So, if you are planning on going to CHA Winter 2009 in Anaheim, I highly recommend that your first stop be the Glitz Design booth #1241!
