My Belated Update

I'm back from my blogging hiatus!

The break was unintended and unplanned...I just need a few days away from people. You know, a few days in my own little universe with just strangers. It was very enjoyable and mildly productive.

Monday was sleep/recovery from weekend day. It was also dentist day. I did some job searching and a 30 minute run/walk. Wednesday I worked out for about an hour (yoga, rollerblading, weights). Yesterday I read for a while and did some circuit weight training and a 15 minute interval run/walk. My mom and I went out to eat (Chinese) and to WalMart where I got some herbs for my deck. They are potted and ready to grow!

Today....I've done nothing so far. Except for learning that if I can find a way to make some extra cash in May, I CAN afford to go to DC for my friend's 30th birthday weekend. I've already got free lodging and the plane tix are cheapcheap...I just need to secure some income, a few hundred bucks. My parents are going to help me brainstorm; I'm hoping you guys can too. Who knows... maybe my dad will cave and give me frequent flyer miles or they'll figure it as my birthday present or something. I'd love to surprise Maureen and see my DC peeps.

So, aside from breakfast and coffee, that has been my focus this morning. And OMG it's already noon! I mean, I was up at 9 (after I woke up at 5 and went back to sleep, of course). Not nearly as warm today as yesterday (85!) and possible rain this afternoon which means I need to get a workout in. Or I could just do yoga. I must do something.

Tomorrow I'm headed to the parents house to clean. I'll probably go to the driving range. I think I'll spend the night and take advantage of an empty house, a big screen tv and free laundry, too.

Not much else to report. My life is pretty boring these days. I read, I eat, I sleep, I workout, I watch tv. I wait for the IRS to call. Very exciting, right?

Hope you are both well. Gwen, I made good on our pact yesterday...did you?
