I don't do Deserts

Desserts..yes...oh YES!! Deserts...no thanks.

I missed my TrekDesk last week. Well, ok, maybe I didn't really miss it. I preferred the deep tissue massage to the hours and hours of meetings that I normally get to "enjoy" each day. Last week, I got to play wife for 4 days and accompany Ron to the Unitrin Executive retreat in Tuscon. This happens every 5 years. 5 years ago we were at the Broadmoor in Colorado. I can, with 100% certainty say that I prefer the Colorado to Arizona. It is just so much dirt...and it is so...so....dirty. I mean, I can see like nice smooth pretty sand - I'm all for that. But this was just ugly dirty dirt. Now, my friend Sonja Harsch thinks I'm completely nuts. She says it is beautiful there. So, I kept looking. The only time I felt "beauty" was late into the sunset, when it was too dark to see how dirty things were...and there was only a hint of burning light left in the sky and and you'd see the silhouette of an old cactus with its arms reaching to the sky as if in prayer...now that was pretty. But that's kind of not fair. That is like saying the woman at the bar you met was pretty....in the dark....with very very low lighting...and only if you caught her silhouette...with beer goggles on. So, I'm sticking with my assessment. Tuscon was ugly. I will give in on the fact that the clear dry air made for some ROCKING GREAT hair days. Which Ron liked ;-) I think...

So, between being gone to Arizona and having many in the office meetings last week....I got very little TrekDesk time in. That was a big bummer. I did get to ride on a dusty trail following the backside of Ron's horse and eating dirt the whole way. Is that exercise? I did eat 3 catered meals a day for 4 days straight....oh crap.....guess I'm going to have to pay a visit to STS (Satan The Scale).

Today, I started the day off right with a call with Ireland. They (ok - Thomas Lambert!) did sway with me as the video I was sending while walking made me look like I was rocking back and forth, but they were surprised that I was able to walk, talk and type. (What does that say about my coworkers' confidence in my ability to multi-task?) ;-) I've gotten my 4 miles in, so I'm parking my treadmill for the day. My right ankle that I keep re-injuring is still sore. That sucks. Wish I was fully well.

So, here's to my goal this week of making sure I get in 4 miles EVERY day. Will report back on Friday....at least I'm in Texas...where we have less dirty dirt....
