It is cold out and raining/sleeting.  Yuck!  I did not exercise Sunday or Monday or today.  I am going to try to get to the Y the next 4 days.  I may go out for a walk later or do a cardio tape or something just to get active.  Work has been hectic.  Going out and inspecting 2 fires a day the last 4 working days.  Got back today and stink like smoke and cold to my bones.  So I think I will go exercise and then soak in the shower until I look like a prune.  Need to motivate myself.  I really want to lose 2 lbs this week.  Been working a lot of OT this week.  Maybe will take shower, put on PJ's and forget about work tonight.   I have had my puppy since 2/23/08.  Can't believe it has been almost a year!  Time flies.  I just LOVE the stuffings out of my baby, Kona.  Not a day goes by that I don't thank God for her in my life.  She just makes me feel better and I am enjoying going for walks with her.  She sleeps next to me during the day in my office.  She gives me this huge greeting at the door when I come home.  I think about her this time last year being a baby puppy and sleeping outside in a horrible cage and being cold and starving.  It's funny.  She is now such a house dog!  She is now such a happy little girl! David got an A and 2 B's on tests this week.  Yeah!   Not ready for Christmas.  No baking done.  Not done shopping.  No cards out.  I have been so focused on cleaning, getting my life together, work, work and more work.  I should be used to this by now, seeing as I have been doing this job for 12 years now.  And I have not watched one single Christmas video!  Need a video marathon:  A Christmas Story, Rudolph, The Year Without a Santa Claus, etc.  Oh yeah, and Jingle All The Way with Arnold Schwarzenneggar.  I love that one. OMG!  I only have 1 weekend left until Christmas! Maybe if I start packing for Florida that will help cure the Winter blahs!
