Hi, everyone! It's almost May. I am in shock. Where is 2007 going?? Yes, I have returned from Dallas, Texas (or as they say there, the Big D). The conference was great; the speakers keep getting better and better. Stayed at the Hyatt Regency Reunion--a beautiful hotel. It has a revolving tower next door, so our group took in the opportunity to see the city at night. The city is actually pretty with some different architecture; however, unlike many other big cities, Dallas has not experienced a rejuvenation that I could tell. There was nothing to do at night--nothing that we could walk to.
I did take in the Dallas Aquarium--very good! I also went to the 6th Floor Museum (about JFK's assassination). I cried--it took me right back to 1963.
Foodwise, I was awful. As Susan said, ate and drank too much. We went to a gourmet restaurant (Hotel St. Germain) which was stupendous (7-course meal). The conference stuffed us each day and I ate it all! Not proud of myself. I haven't had the guts to get on the scale.
The weekend I did better, but I still won't get on that scale. I don't know what has happened, but I used to get a sated feeling, so I would stop eating. Lately, I just keep eating.
There must have been something in the air as I also moved my clothing around. I got rid of a couple old outfits. I also found that I have about a half-dozen sleeveless black tops (why do I have that many?) The problem is that when I go shopping, I forget what I have.
It was a busy weekend. Played a little golf with DH. Went to a funeral (one of my elderly neighbors). Went to two plays in which friends were playing: Best Little Whorehouse in Texas and Our Town. Both were well done.
DH and I did a 5K; neither one of us did well, but we finished. DH is having knee problems and I can tell that he is worried; he's not sleeping well. Unfortunately he heads to Cinncinati this weekend to run the Flying Pig Marathon. I told him to walk it.
So, how is everyone else? Was Cuba fun,
Susan?
I think
Melissa is traveling, but I'm glad that her son and fiancee set the date for their wedding. That was terrible about the threat on her campus. What is happening to folks? Here there have been bomb threats at the high schools. They turn out to be end of the year pranks, but law enforcement is not amused.
