Half Year Travel Status Update

I'm at the halfway point of 2012. Am I half way to renewing my Hilton Diamond and/or American Platinum status for 2013? For Hilton Diamond, either 28 stays or 60 nights is needed. I normally get there based on the number of stays instead of the number of nights. This year is no different. I'm exactly half way there with 14 stays, but not quite half way there with 26 nights. For American Platinum, either 60 segments or 50,000 miles are needed. Without having overseas flights, I generally get there on segments. This year I'm at 28 segments, so a little short of the half-way point. And I'm st 21,488 miles. That means I'll need to get there on segments again. A trip to Chicago (train - no segments), a one-way drive to Cincinnati (I flew back), and a trip to Indianapolis (drive both ways) have affected by airline segments so far this year.

OK, it's been a month

I haven't posted in a while, but that doesn't mean I haven't been busy. I had a golf trip to Riverside, IA for a couple days. Then we had a garage sale to get rid of a lot of stuff (not as much as we wanted, but some stuff). Then I had a business trip to New York. Then we went down to the in-laws for the weekend to celebrate father's day, my daughter's birthday, and my monther-in-law's birthday. Then was my daughter's birthday. Finally, last weekend we had a party at the zoo for my daughter's birthday. It's been a completely busy month.
