Vacation's end

sunrise in Sun City

This is a first for me. Blogging from the airport. The Phoenix Airport. I am sad at having to leave such fine fine weather and head back so I can start a diet. I suppose the cold should help though. Staying warm requires more energy so hopefully I'll burn some of this excess off quickly. But why am I obsessing about this? Goal this year: to accept myself as I am more than I have before. Is that Possible?


The airport is busy busy, but we flew through security much faster than we did in Omaha. Even checking in was quick. Hopefully our flight will be on time and we'll wing our way back to the cold quickly. Like diving into the water. Best to do it fast, all at once. Adust quicker that way, right?

On vacations and reality

So we will be back to the reality of winter that the rest of the country seems to be facing right now. It truly was nice to miss out on snowfall and blizzards, windchills and actual below zero weather, sit back and soak up sunshine, lazy days and food. Oh the food. Leftover Christmas dessserts that MUST be eaten, eating with relatives, taking mom out to eat for her birthday, trying out restuarants I've never tried before or eating at my Arizona favorites! I will be on a diet as soon as I get home. Eating out constantly has not done good things for me. (I enjoyed it though, I must admit.) Mom crossed off the last thing on our list of all the things we wanted and planned to do(after we got back from our hike this morning) So we have the rest of the day to finish up books, nap, swim or take in a movie. What do you think? I managed almost 5 books during the week. I should get in just a touch more shopping perhaps...
We will join you all in your collective shivering tomorrow afternoon. I will be back to figuring out how in the world I will get to work every day. And, best thing, I will get back to poor Buster who is no doubt missing us greatly. Ha!

Sunny A

You won't hear too much from me, I fear. I just had to post that it has been warm (70's) and sunny and we are beginning to relax! Tomorrow we have some hiking and shopping on our docket. Maybe a trip up to Starbucks just to relax and watch the traffic and the people. My aunt and uncle were over tonight for a great meal and some dominoes and the Green Bay game. (ok we watched the vikings too) and it was an all around good day football wise!
Please please get rid of that cold weather before we get back.
