Day 320: Celebrating Success

Today I got the official word that I've qualified for the s trip to Hawaii next year. I thought this was a pretty good reason to buy a nice bottle of Champagne, hide it in the fridge and surprise Belinda with it when we came home from Henry's swimming lessons. She was supposed to be somewhere else with Henry and I was to meet her at the pool.

This little plan didn't really work, Belinda was home when I got there with the bubbles and I wasn't able to sneak the bottle into the house. Oh well... it was still a nice surprise and the Bollinger was very nice.

Day 270: Incentives

A little bundle of goodies landed on my desk this afternoon, they're essentially a reminder that this year our big incentive trip is to Hawaii and that the end of the qualification period is getting closer. 

We have a couple of these types of incentives each year and the good thing about this one is your partner is invited as well, kids are also welcome but we'd have to pay for their airfares ourselves... which would make for a fairly cheap family holiday. I'm hoping to make it this year and I'm pretty close to hitting the targets for qualification too but I still have some work to do.

As far as the 'goodies' go: The Hula Girl is kinda cheesy and the cheapo plastic Lei is really scratchy, but the bamboo bookmark with the Ukulele shape carved out of it is pretty cool.
