Business Trip 2 for month of May...

Tuesday, May 20th 2008

On my way south and east to the desert tomorrow morning. This time I will have a co-worker with me, and my HUBBY! It is a full schedule for the next three days. I got to choose the hotel, so I've chosen one with excellent workout facilities, and good access to walking paths. That takes care of the moving part of my health requirements. Planning to pack healthy snacks, I know where the good grocery stores are, and I'll remember those nice size 12 pants I just purchased (first time in size ...

New Computer / VISTA

Monday, May 19th 2008

Using new computer today - and late yesterday.

It seemed so promising, and now is bogged down in installing updates, not recognizing updates, and mis-reading my keystrokes at my keyboard.

I'm tired, frustrated, and want to go back to Windows XP. And I don't want to miss the wave of the future.

Home for a quick dinner.

Out again to see Carmina Burana performed by the Oregon Symphony. Magnificent! One of my dreams come true.

Today, TOM slams quick an...

Business Trip Again...

Wednesday, May 14th 2008

Another chance for a new tactic. Since it is just an overnighter, and I'm driving (luggage no object), I packed all my snacks plus a breakfast option. I've also packed my favorite exercise videos and some small handweights. (Supposed to be rainy tonight in the city where I'll sleep, I may prefer an indoor workout to exploring the city.)

Let's see if I can arrive home tomorrow night feeling fit as a fiddle, and still working toward's flat abs! :wave1:...
