So Much to Say…

Hey Family!

I’m sorry for the hiatus…"real life" has been überbusy for the past week or so. After being scolded by a few emails, here’s my damn update!

Work…
Early-mid summer is actually a slow period for corporate travel, so things are pleasant on a business level. However, my duties on the employee committee have increased (loving every minute of it). We’re totally focused on raising funds for the holiday party (which is a sad sign of the times for our industry. Pre-9/11, our events would be sponsored by an airline partner…but they’re all still hurting…so we’re on our own). The fundraising blitz has truly paid off. We’ve raised enough money to allow for employees to attend free/guests for $10. Not too shabby for a night of dinner and dancing…not to mention random drawings for airline tickets/hotel stays.

On a community level (thanks to yours truly), we’ll be doing a school supply drive for a local elementary school. It’s great to fundraise for social events, but we have to give back to the community too, eh?
 

Fitness…
Despite my lack of updates, boot camp is still going well. I’m sitting on the "verge" again…and scale watchers will know what I mean. I’m not going to talk about it until I feel secure in my renewed position. Cycling training is still exceeding my expectations…so hopefully my goal of riding 40 miles for the LAF will be a reality. Speaking of LAF, improve your karma and donate!

Random compliment…a woman at work asked for details about my glutes workout. I told her what spin class, ellpitical, and hiking all do for the ass. I really wanted to tell her that I’ve been blessed with high booty genetics. LOL But that’s not very professional, is it?

There’s a reason I take a protein bar to snack on at the movies…

Boys…

I’m having a good time with J. Those of you that know the history of this saga will appreciate the fact that we’ve discussed the past issues with our friendship (and his desire to "get to know me better" after my weight loss). LOL Nevermind the fact that I was practically throwing it at him back in the day. I enjoy hanging out with him…but I’m undecided on what I want…and that’s ok. What’s the rush? There are other boys to consider, right? 🙂

Babies…

Red and I are planning M’s baby shower and it will be a pink affair to remember. Camryn Elizabeth will be here in 2.5 months and the little diva needs a stylish pre-arrival par-tay.

Reunion…

My 10-year high school bash is exactly 2 months from today! Chosen career? No. Married? No. Heirs to the throne? No. New Body? YES! LOL I have time to work on the other stuff. The important thing is that I’m not as wide as barn door anymore…

Vacation (All I ever wanted…)

We leave for Puerto Vallarta on August 28…for 6 days! Red is going to have the best 30th birthday bash. She’s dealt with some family issues this year and I’m glad that she’ll be able to escape with her girls and have a good time.

Well, that’s the story in my world. Hope everyone is having a great weekend…
