I L.O.V.E. going into the City. Why I've never lived there... I don't know. I went in for a trade show for work Tuesday to Wednesday. Stayed at the Sax. OMG. It was PIMP.It is a good thing I lost 3 pounds this week. The food situation was a little out of control. Every booth has chocolates. And I will say I had quite a few.

I tend to think of myself as kinda selfish... maybe a little lazy. I like my "me" time, I like to relax and do what I want to do. **Here comes the excuse** You see, my work is very demanding. I put in a lot of hours and it can be pretty grueling. Not to mention the 100+ degree weather about 6 months out of the year. During the winter months if I'm outside it can be below zero degrees, if I'm inside anywhere from 40-65 degrees. Point is, I've made myself believe, to my own demise, that ...
