Sleeping in my own bed again...woo-hoo!

Lo-o-o-n-g week at the Westin in downtown LA...sounds glamorous, doesn't it. HA! I would have traded it for spending my nights in a small tent in a cow pasture somewhere...at least I would have had SOME control of how I spent my time! Anyhow, it was an intense sales meeting with lots of challenges and role plays and video taped presentations, etc., but I survived and flew back to Memphis late Friday night. My husband and I had made plans months earlier to meet some friends and attend a Viking Cooking School course on Saturday night which is what we did. This is our second Viking class and I highly recommend to anyone who enjoys learning new things about cooking. It was a "hands on" class and we ate our "fine dining French meal" afterwards with 3 other couples. After we did the items which required knives, then the bottles of wine started flowing. Viking doesn't want the liability of wine and knife combo so we had to get the slicing and dicing out of the way. Wine makes cooking with strangers evolve into cooking with your best friends!

I had planned to run my 10 miles on Saturday in Memphis and guess what...my sweet hubby FORGOT to bring the weekend bag I had packed and left in the bedroom for him to bring to me in Memphis. Of course this had all my running gear. I guess I am glad, in hindsight, because I finally feel rested and back to normal and I am sure it is because I slept in both Saturday and Sunday...oh, sweet bliss. I must get my hind parts out to the park tomorrow and put in some mileage since I did not make it today. Time is getting close...I, like Onetta, am excited and freaked out all at the same time.
