Dharma

I have had a fantastic weekend. Dharma stayed with me all weekend while her parents were out of town. We had a wonderful time. For those who don't know, Dharma is my 13 month old grand-daughter. She has such a wonderful personality. I did have to baby proof my kitchen as Dharma is now walking and gets into everything she can reach. We went shopping for a birthday present and baby shower gifts. Needless to say, Dharma came out of the shopping spree pretty well off, also. I took her several places this weekend. She wasn't fussy and enjoyed meeting many new people. The greatest part of all this though, was when she would hold her arms out to me. We shared many Dharma hugs and kisses. Her parents came to pick her up about 6:00 tonight. While I am enjoying my alone time, I must say that I enjoyed my weekend with Dharma. I'm looking forward to many more.

Airport ramblings

My friends know I travel a lot for work. I was sitting in the Victoria airport thinking why did I bother to show up almost an hour before my flight? There are two flights out of Victoria and two flights into Victoria daily. Only Continental flies there. My flight left at 6:20 in the morning. Had I missed it, I would have had to wait until 4:10 in the afternoon to get out. Twelve passengers were on the plane. My ticket was for seat 4B. The airline hostess asked us to sit in rows 7 and back for weight distribution. Needless to say, flights like this are very interesting. Before this experience, the smallest airport I had flown to was in Tyler. Tyler at least has a choice of airlines. You can fly Continental or American. I found the Tyler airport interesting because the ticket agent was also took the boarding pass when it was time to board the plane and went out to the runway to guide the plane with the flags. I do like multitasking.
Maybe I'll write about the larger airports and the fun I've had running down the halls in order to make my flights some day.

Time to get serious

I weigh more now than I ever have in my life, even when I was pregnant. I know several things that are to blame...lack of exercise, I like to eat, stressful job, but it's time to get serious. A friend has been going to Curves and has lost 40 pounds. She gave me a card to do a free workout and see what I think of it. I went this morning and I joined. I am motivated to get fit and feel better. Now, I have to stay motivated to get over there. I'm going to try to start eating better, also. That's hard with my job, but I can make better choices. Goodbye foot-long coney meal at Sonic. Now, let's see how well I'm doing in a month.
