Two years in Massachusetts today!

No exercise this week, due to the never ending rain. I'd like to say that I was depressed by it (yes, that's weird, I know) because that would mean that I was aware of the weather instead of being cooped up at work all day, where I have no knowledge of the outdoors.
I had a big week a work this week, while also preparing for a big sale. So I am in much need of a lil' vacation. Hence ...
I am off to San Diego tomorrow and looking forward to it immensely! I promise lots of pics of the new babies.
When I get back, I mean to devote a lil' more time to dating. Now that summer is here (even with the rain), it'd be nice to be social once again.
In other news, my mother leaves for Korea on Saturday. I'm a lil' worried what with the crazies in North Korea and their nuclear capacities. It's like they decided that they were bored so they'd scare the world a lil' bit. What they couldn't wait two months until my mother was back home safe?
And finally, RIP Michael Jackson and Farrah Fawcett. Michael Jackson did not look 50 and Farrah Fawcett did not look 62, and in different ways. But they were icons. How many of us can be that?

And on the 7th day ...

I walked this week once. Not much else, been raining, which means no softball. BUT ... lots of heavy lifting at work prepping for the sale.

In other news, we won at trivia this week - free beer! I think we found our hangout.

Other craziness abounds, but all is good for me. I have tomorrow off and I am looking forward to it. I am also looking forward to seeing Kalpana.

Why not dance this year's final dance ... to the Pachanga?

well, I haven't been exercising much, but if it's any consolation, I haven't been eating much either. I've started taking Claritin because of the pollen and discovered that it all but kills my appetite and leaves me with cotton mouth all day. Actually, it might not kill my appetite; perhaps it's the millions of mints and breath fresheners that I use throughout the day because I have cotton mouth. I feel like I have morning breath all day long. It's gross. In other news, it's been raining a lot lately, so I haven't made it to the river.
I am prepping for a big sale at work and I'm determined to be #1 in the division. I know that it'll take a lot of preparation, which I've done, and a lot of follow-thru, which I suck at. So we'll see how it goes. Wish me luck. Other than that, work is going ok.
I haven't devoted much time to my other pursuits, i.e. studying for the GMATs but perhaps I'll really get to it after the sale.
Finally, I'm going to San Diego at the end of the month for Kalpana's 35th b-day celebration and pachanga. I don't exactly know what a pachanga is (except for a brief reference in Dirty Dancing) but I'm looking forward to it. Shhhh, don't tell Kalp, it's a surprise.

Down by the river

2 walks by the river this week AND softball practice. Nice.

Hopefully, I can up it to 3 walks by the river/week. AND my friend Kati wants to do Weight Watchers, which I will do with her.

Going good.

What does a yellow light mean?

Attention, Massachusettsians! Let's review:

A red light means "STOP."

A green light means that you may proceed.

A green arrow means that you may turn ... in the direction that the arrow is pointing.

A red arrow means that you may not turn in the direction that the arrow is pointing.

The lights are not suggestions for you to consider; they are rules that you MUST follow.

I realize that it can get confusing because sometimes there is more than one light to look at. They are also bright, shiny and pretty. But try to focus on the one that is designated for your lane and follow it.

A "lane" refers to that space between the lines on the road - that includes the dotted lines - that you're supposed drive on.

A "road" is that black surface with all the holes in it. Some call them potholes, others would call them caves. I know that it is hard to believe that you're supposed to drive on that, but, hey! you're the Massachusettsian. You should know that's what roads are like up here.
