It's 7:52 a.m. I am already planning my escape from this 6 x 10 office to Starbucks for a cup full of comfort. I avoid drinking the coffee in our kitchen most days but today I find myself sitting without my usual Amore mug and desperate for something that resembles my daily dose of caffeine. I am not alone; Erika and Yolanda have spoke out against the quality of our coffee this morning and have requested a cup of jo if I do make it out the door. Anyway... enough about coffee and the significance of it in my life.
Friday afternoon Cyn and I jumped in my buggie and headed up to Scottsdale to live a life of luxury for an evening. Our first stop was Anthropologie at the Kierland Center in Scottsdale where every thing is outrageously priced. It's depressing when $40 buys you a plain cotton T-shirt. Absolutely LOVE everything in that store but haven't bought a thing yet. One purchase and I'd be broke. From the Kierland Center we drove to our posh accommodations at the Hyatt Regency where beauty engulfs every inch of space. By the time we arrived at our room we were both craving a filet mignon from Fleming's so off we went to indulge our taste buds. Fleming's can do nothing wrong in my eyes. Everything is absolutely delectable... filet mignon, asparagus, bearnaise sauce, lava cake... the deliciousness never ends!
Saturday morning began with coffee (first on my list of morning priorities), poached eggs, wheat toast and potatoes brought in by a nice little man. Gotta love room service.
Our hotel hosted a full spa experience. I gotta tell ya that it changed my life. The cleansing I felt was amazing. My mind was suddenly at peace; my body felt strong and my heart no longer hurt. It could be that it's all in my head; after all, does a steam room really have the ability to take away all that ails me? All I know is that a trip to the spa is going to be worked into my monthly self maintenance routine. The experience was absolutely heavenly.
Cyn and I were so caught up in the showers, steam rooms, saunas, mineral pools and hot tubs that we were nearly late picking up Tawn from the airport. While Cyn I had a lovely relaxing morning, Tawn was running on little sleep and dealing with late connecting flights. Poor thing. After we picked up Tawn we spent a little bit of time shopping and then got on the road to Yuma.
Sunday was spent doing to normal Sunday routine at Grandma's house and then Tawn and I started moving boxes in to my new condo. We were super efficient and finished with all the boxes by 5:00 p.m. That night we went to Ty and Shelly's for Imelda's graduation party. She is finally done with her Master's degree after a lot of sacrifices and hard work. The food was, as always, amazing! Carne asada and Mexican hot chocolate were the highlights of the meal for me.
Yesterday Tawn and I started off the day with a 4 mile run. My emotional state is a bit unbalanced right now which means daily hard core exercise is going to be the only thing that will save me from sinking into a dark hole. Even with the exercise I'm feeling down. I'm just forcing my way through the day right now and trying my best to keep unhappiness and self doubting out of my thoughts. There are better days ahead... just gotta get through the crappy ones. After the exercise we starting moving the rest of my things which happens to be A LOT! I have so much furniture! The condo is now full of all my things thanks to a phenomenal family effort! Grandpa requested that I wait until he is in Colorado before I think about moving again.
I've gotta finish out this work week and then I'm a free bird for a couple of weeks. Painting is definitely in order... I can handle white walls for a very short time before I start to feel like I might actually step off the edge of sanity.
Wow, it took me 3 hours to finish writing this blog and it's not even a masterpiece.
