I’ve been down here in AZ for about 5 days with Eric, my mother-in-law and father-in-law and LOVING it. I’m being really bad about posting partly because we’re just having too much fun, swimming, reading in the warm sun shopping, the spa, the sun, etc while the boys golf and also because there’s only Internet (wireless) in the lobby which mean little contact with the outside world which isn’t half bad. I’m having such a relaxing time I honestly wish I could stay down here. It’s been in the high 60′s to mid 70′s this whole time. Right now it’s 74 and sunny outside. God I love the sun, I can’t get enough of it. It’s times like this that make me realize how much I hate the rain in Portland.
Today Eric and I are off to visit some of my friends down here while his parents have a quiet night at home. No Pinochle tonight. Oh, that’s another thing, Eric and his parents taught me how to play so we’ve been playing several hands every day so far us “girls” are up two games.
Pictures will come but not until I get home, can’t be bothered posting them right now because every minute here on my computer is another minute I’m not in the sun
Keep warm all my northern friends and know I’m not jealous of the cold at all..

I just looked at my journal and realized it’s been way too long since I last wrote. I wish I had some great and wonderful story and reason why I haven’t written but, I don’t. Life, I guess has been keeping me busy.
I just got back last Friday from a week in Arizona for work. Last week I spend the week in AZ in a Face to Face with a bunch of other people from my group. I had a blast in Arizona! The weather was so nice and it was so warm I didn’t want to come back. I really appreciated the opportunity to go to the FTF. I got to meet all the other people in my group from all over the world. We have 6 people in Malaysia and they were even there. We all had such a blast, eating great food, hanging out and learning a lot. The first day we learned a bunch about our group and what the plan is going into the next year. The second day we had a workshop on evaluation. It was honestly very interesting. I didn’t expect much because every other face to face I’ve gone to was pretty worthless but this one was great!..
Friday I got up at o’dark thirty to get on the shuttle to get home. The fog was so bad in Hillsboro that we had to fly into pdx and get shuttled to Hillsboro. I was so tired by the time I got home that I just worked a few hours and took a very long nap….Today is Monday and I think I’m finally back on a regular sleeping schedule.
In other news, I think my seasonal affectiveness disorder stuff started early this year. Going to Arizona was so nice and I felt so great down there. I knew before I went that the SAD crept up on me early this year and I was hoping that going to Arizona was just what I needed. It was, it was so nice and refreshing but coming back I realized I need to probably go to the Dr. and get the happy pills SAD doesn’t make me depressed as much as it makes me lethargic. I don’t want to do anything. I don’t want to work, don’t want to be at home.. don’t want to anything. I sit and look around and think about all the things I want or need to get done but I don’t have the drive, motivation. I think after Thanksgiving I’ll go to the Dr. and find out what he recommends…
