Must resist...

 Pretty shoes...

Utah Bound!

I finally booked my flight for work travel to Utah.  Hotel accommodations have not been set.  I'm still waiting to see if my little brother will be coming with me.  I hope he can.

I've been running around trying to get ready for this trip.  I think I'm more concerned with getting my equipment squared away than finishing and prepping for my presentation for the colonel.  It's the same presentation as before, so I'm not too worried.  I dropped off my board for a tune-up and lesson on how to attached bindings last night.  While we were there, I bought a snowboard bag, but when I got home I decided that it was way too long for me.  It's probably a good foot longer than my board.  So I'm sending the hubster back up to Polaris to return the damn thing.  Getting everything ready for a snowboard trip is tiresome.  Who knew?

Exercise gives you endorphins - Endorphins make you happy.

It's totally true.  I got off work yesterday and I was in the worst mood and feeling completely wiped out.  I got a few announcements at work that threw my plans for the week into a tizzy and I hate that.  I have to know what's going to happen and it has to follow my schedule.  I had plans to go the gym, but on the drive home decided I didn't want to go.

I get home and my snowboard had arrived, so that put me in a better mood.  The hubster said some "encouraging" words to get my butt out the door, and I'm so glad he did.  I felt so much better after my work out.  Maybe not happy per se, but an overall improvement in mood.  Even though I tell the hubster he has to make me go to the gym and then bitch and complain when he does, he really has a knack for knowing when to push and when to let go.  <3 my hubster.

Ice Ice Baby

I got up this morning to walk the dogs and my front yard is completely iced over.  It's  good thing the girls just charge right on out or I might have slipped on my walkway.  It didn't even look icy.  It was fun to see them slipping and sliding all over the yard trying to do their business.  Poor Egg Roll had the hardest time.  I guess there was just freezing rain last night, not the snow, sleet, freezing rain as forecasted.  Now time to get dressed and head to work.  It's going to be a great commute this morning.
