Weekend Roundup 10/18
A busy week capped by a busy weekend. We’ll relax next week.
Tonight is a little crazy. I was asked to be a guest on WITF’s TV Smart Talk, along with social media maven Anne Deeter Gallaher, to talk about social media and business. Wow. I’m flattered and completely nervous.
Friday night I’ll recover with some wine and good times at one of my favorite peep’s Witches Night! We’ll be required to don scary hats while we snack and sip and enjoy the night.

On Saturday, I’ll start with a trip to the Farmer’s Market and the gym, then possibly back to the market for the Sassy Jeans fitting event. If you’re into designer jeans, you may want to check this out.
By evening, I’ll be hosting the post-LeadersHYP Summit networking event at the Abbey Bar at ABC. I’ve got some fun prizes lined up, so I’m looking forward to meeting everyone.
I’ll be up extra bright and early Sunday to cheer on my friend, Jamie, as she runs her first half-marathon, the Hershey Half Marathon. This race touring downtown Hershey and through the park has been sold out for weeks, and I’m sure it’ll be a great event.
Hey — did you RSVP to the next Happy Hour at MoMo’s? Rumor has it there is free beer for the first hour! Also, buy your Holiday Party tickets now before they sell out and you’re stuck looking at photos and video online wondering why you didn’t go.
