Saturday Night Fever

Break out your parka's kids, hell has frozen over, I joined a gym. I have been avoiding doing so for some time for a number of reasons. The first being of course that I hate working out. I have also been using money as an excuse, arguing that I can't afford it. But the truth tapped me on the shoulder & pointed out that as long as I can afford In-N-Out, I can afford the gym. The sign is a bit misleading- it reads "24 Fitness" while it should read "Meat Market." So far the gym has not been good for my self esteem. I feel like a Cabbage Patch Kid working up a sweat along side a slew of Malibu Barbie dolls.

Every time I have gone, the place has been packed. Every day but today, Saturday. Actually I went tonight. This was more the Freaks & Geeks crowd, the GTL crew works out earlier I suppose. Anyway I fit right in & even felt like the hottest broad in the joint.

Stay tuned for my progress. Vacationing for an entire month really did a number on my waist line. Let's be clear, this new found commitment to working out has nothing to do with my health & everything to do with my vanity.

It's Alive!

Life has been a bit of a storm as of late, & I have been at the center of it! Let me clarify this though-the storm has been AMAZING. In January I spent 11 days cruising through Mexico, a trip that is going down in the hall of fame for sure. With two of my favorite people, Tom Vaughn, & 1800 oldies the fun was out of control. Jenny, Cassie, & I were the youngest sailors by about 60 years. The boat was essentially a floating retirement home & we were thrilled to join the community. You better believe that we were welcomed with wide open arms! We beached, tanned, danced, drank, ate, ate, & ate. How could I leave out the laughing?

I had a little time to recover at home, then was forced to work for 3 whole days before jetting to Maui for 4 nights. That voyage was very special for different reasons. I am choosing to leave those stories near & dear to my heart. I can share that I had an incredible time, & can definitely see myself as an island girl someday.

I came home Thursday & was off to Sydney for work on Friday. My vacation bubble was harshly burst during that 14 & 1/2 hour flight on the way down under. I much prefer drinking the cocktails in first class to serving them.

Seattle bound on Friday for some much needed QT with my darling Deltas. I have been trying to keep track but I have lost count of my blessings. I feel so happy & at peace these days. I think it is all the vitamin D from that beautiful sunshine I have been hanging out with! More soon loves.

A Picture's Worth

I have yet to write about my phenomenal, rejuvanating, blissful vacation because even I am having a hard time transferring my thoughts & memories into sentences. They say that a picture is worth a thousand words, well here are 91,000 to stall until I can produce my own.
