i wish i were talented

This week is going to be a short week for me. On friday I will be heading to see this guy in Austin TX. Yee Haw.   I am really looking forward to it. It’s kinda spur (this isn’t a joke here) of the moment kinda thing. I am realizing that when you dont have another person in your life or any kind of extra curricular activity you tend to throw your self into your work. Sacrificing you sanity for the company allowing it to change your mood from when you walk in to when you leave. Some say I need a vacation. It’s been awhile since I’ve taken any length of time. A weekend here an afternoon there.  Anyway when you aren’t away from someone you start to stop caring about being away. Does that make sense?  Well I’m going to start doing it more often. No guilt here. My hope is to take a mini sabbatical in the fall. Use up some of those weeks I’ve been given.

My running has been getting better. I have a great friend that I run with on Thursday nights. We’ve turned it into an event. I’m still down 22 lbs or 9.9 kg and counting. Every jean I tried on today  fit. I ended up not buying any.  Turned out I just  wanted a new pair.  Not a very good reason.  I’m thinking of selling my car. I cleaned out the attic of crap so now its on to the one big item in my garage.   This seems like a good idea. I’ll let you know how it goes. I think for 2009 I need to do something big. I just don’t know what it is yet. Oh and these guys support compassion so big ups to them.

Your moment of zen…Now get up and dance
