and, we're off!!!


Ben Folds performing in Knoxville, Tennessee
Image via Wikipedialots going on the next couple weeks.  it's insane how busy it is, and then after that, i'm expecting some peace and quiet.  t has a work presentation going on this week and then is on call this weekend.  :(  it also happens to be the weekend that Ben Folds is playing with the Colorado Symphony Orchestra.  guess who is going???  i'll be going alone, but it'll be a good one, i'm sure and one that i'll be glad that i didn't miss.  we were severely disappointed a few years ago when we saw him open for john mayer at Red Rocks Amphitheater.  the whole concert, obviously, was geared towards John Mayer...unfortunately, that also meant the sound system was also.  you couldn't hear a word that Ben Folds was singing...it was a let down. 

after that, t is away for a bit, then back again!  while i've been working, i'm trying to find my rhythm.  consistency is very important to me, i've come to find out.  with this job and the other one, i've been trying to find my place in it.  i think i'm getting there, slowly but surely.  it's hard to do so, though, when you are in situations where you are dealing with shoe costumes, midgets, meetings, and ethical dealings in the workplace.  seriously. 

i was worried about my work outs, but i think i've gotten that down.  fortunately for me, unfortunately for some exercise company, our gym at work is stocked...and free.  some company needed to unload some equipment instead of payments and voila....an instant gym of some of the nicest equipment that i've seen.  i go over at lunch and then am able to work out for an hour and clear my head...of all of the above situations.  it's worked out nicely.  today, i was reading an article on intervals, so i tried them.  i guess you are supposed to burn more doing those, than anything.  so, i walked for 5 minutes at a 3.5mph...then for 30 times after that, switched between a 8.5 mph pace (a "10" on my scale) for 15 seconds and a 3.5 mph pace for 20 seconds.  it was actually really fun and made the time just fly by! 

i'm hoping that tomorrow is a bit more uneventful than today...it really was busy...but it keeps it interesting and we all need some of that in our lives!

I just downloaded an interval training schedule yesterday! I'm going to try it, too!

I was at that concert too. I only went because a vendor gave me free tickets. I think the saving grace is that anything is great at Red Rocks.

kate, that is awesome...you should email me your schedule. i just have the dinky one i used.

wow, yeah, that concert was at Red Rocks and that's about all it had going for it. i don't even know that THAT saved it. i think we left mid-john mayer. ;)

a little something about me and the life i choose to live!

and, we're off!!!
