Well, not two days back from Phoenix and I already want to go back. What an awesome time. I was only out there for three days, but it felt like an hour. Phoenix is really a beatiful place. It is smack dab in the middle of a valley, surrounded by mountains and the weather - sun, 75 degrees and 25% humidity. Of course, I come back to Atlanta to rain, 50 degrees, and 95% humidity. Blah! Girlfriend says the summers are miserable, though. The AC does not stop and nobody wants to do anything outside. I thought we had it bad here, but we get humidity where she says it's like a giant hairdryer.
My boss told me that when I got back, I'd feel claustrophobic because Phoenix only has a couple of carefully placed palm trees and NO high rise buildings. It really was weird not seeing anything really over 3 stories. They're building 75 story monsters in downtown right now.
Had loads of fun, though. Highly recommend it.
Now, it's back to the old, boring ass job. I have had nothing at all to do today. What a joke. They're paying me so much money to literally read the news and blog. Alas, if I don't find something interesting to do - really, really soon - I'm headed for trouble. At least I'm doing my three mile run at lunch now instead of waiting to get home. It helps to break up the day when you can take a 2 hour lunch and get the exercise portion of the day done. A lady in my office stopped me this morning and asked how much weight I had lost. According to the scale, it's around 40 lbs. Not too shabby, but after trying to lose one pound in two years, the fattage is now flying off. Girlfriend and I even went shopping for girl clothes and I've managed to get into a size 6. I haven't been a 6 since I was 18 years old. Pretty cool. The secret is definately no processed food, no beer and a minimum of 3 miles and 1 hour of yoga a day. Now if I could just find a place that sells bathing suits in December for the St. Thomas trip.
Ah well, I guess I better get my ass up and do something. Maybe I'll walk to the other side of campus. At least the sun finally came out.
