Multitasking

A BlackBerry always makes cardio more fun.

Calm before the storm

As I sit here pedaling at the gym and play on my blackberry I am enjoying the calm before the storm that should be arriving next week! I hope that the wedding that we have been working on goes smoothly next Saturday! We have certainly had a lot s*-t storms hit this past week yet I hope the worst is certainly over and I can now be excited to welcome a new son in law!!

That’s Better

What El Nino?

Geez, it took nearly 3 weeks into the nuevo ano for me to put up the year’s first post. And there’s been a lot going on! Like getting things ready for Shari & Darrell’s wedding, compiling a huge todo list for 2010, upgrading the CrackBerries, getting my ass kicked by the AMT100i, drooling over the Wrangler side steps I got for Christmas but haven’t installed yet, purchasing our first composter, watching Conan go off on NBC, etc. Man, tons of stuff to post about.

No, for some reason I’ve been too lazy to post anything. I’ll blame it on my depression for the lack of any exciting weather. God, New Mexico can be boring at times. Sun, blue skies, mild temperatures. Yuck. A blizzard would be nice for a change.

Day 15

Walked along the beach at high tide on our last night here, it is kinda bittersweet in a way since we don’t want our vacation to end but we are ready to come home. I won’t miss all the cigarette butts littering the beach, I am shocked that not only are there still tons of smokers out there but they llitter at the same time! Asses! Ignoring that, Miami Beach is beautiful, we willl likely come back again, probably to get on a cruise ship.

Day 14

More sun, more sand, more ocean, and a hell of a lot of fun (except for sunburns, ach)!

Day 13

michael — Thu, 17 Sep 2009 15:13:46 +0000

There seems to be a lot of hookah lounges and Italian restaurants in Miami Beach for some reason, and its French and Italian tourist season, where tops are optional. Wasn’t expecting that. To our detriment Lisa and I have sunburns, but that shouldn’t slow is down. The water is just too perfect to stay out of.

Day 12

michael — Wed, 16 Sep 2009 15:12:58 +0000

In Miami now, specificallly Miami Beach at the most remarkable hotel yet! It is called the Z Ocean and the bathroom alone is bigger than our entire NYC room. We are posting from the BlackBerry since they charge for internet access. That blows, but not a problem. Ocean Drive and the art deco and neon is beautiful, the beach is gorgeous, it is where we are posting from right now. I will take some time to adjust to the humidity and heat, but give us an umbrella and shade and we are happy as clams. Time to get in the ocean!

Feliz Cinco de Mayo

I went on a run this afternoon (about half of which involved walking) and all I could think about was a carne asada burrito and an ice cold Negra Modelo. Yum.

Seeing the muffin top in the mirror was enough to put an end to that.

It’s May

And that means we are less than 8 weeks away from our big day.

We are nearly done with everything. Plane tickets are purchased, hotel reservations completed, cruise paid for, ground transportation researched. Whew! A lot of work, but a fun process.

The invites will be sent this weekend and we’ll get my wardrobe in the coming weeks. The list is getting shorter and we are getting excited to go on the trip and get married!

I am also down about 18 pounds since last August. I am feeling good and looking good, and I hope the diet has helped bring down my triglycerides, which was a bit high at the start of the year. The nice side effect is I have lost considerable weight and I am about half-way to my year-end goal of shedding 40+ pounds. I don’t want to be a fat tub of goo anymore.

Wow, 8 more weeks!
