just about 2 weeks left!

my goodness, it's just starting to sink in that this time next month i will have been to italy and back. it's crazy! i am so thankful for the opportunity to do this. i was just researching venice and now i'm even more excited to explore! plus, cameron lives so far north, that we can easily hit austria, and i think switzerland in a couple of hours. woa! so all i really have to do is get through the next couple of weeks at work and i'm home free! too bad these will be the worst 2 weeks of the year and i am filling in for the secretary... yuck. oh well. it will pass.
physical fitness update: week 2 began today of my "waking up and exercising before work" thing. today was especially interesting since i was up late and had to be at work at 7 instead of 7:30 - but i did it! 4:15am i was awake. that's a miracle in itself! but alas, i did not do intense cardio on saturday or sunday and i felt tired, draggy, and foggy all day long. so i understand now that this is something that i just NEED to do. yoga class is going fantasctically too. today i went to my 3rd class and it is getting harder but feels so wonderful! i'm looking forward to the changes in my bo-day from all this fantastic exercise it is getting. and since i'm fairly certain that my workout buddy from work will only be exercising with me for yoga class, i plan to start going tot he gym tuesdays and thursdays after work and do weights. its too hot outside to do cardio then, so i do it in the morning, then weights twice a week at the gym! woo hoo! size 10 pants, i'm coming home!
*for elizabeth's amusement* i totally bought a pair of white linen pants from ann taylor the other weekend, dry clean only. HA HA!!

wow, good for you. i don't think i'll ever have the willpower to willingly get up at 4:15 am.

I can just see you riding on the back of Cameron's motorcycle in your white linen pants and skinny new behind, saying "Chiao" as you drive by...

So I think I meant to say "Ciao"
