Week 2 in Pu-ho-en-icks

Sitting on the Start/Finish line at Daytona International Speedway before the Daytona 500. Yes, it is chilly there in February...

So, what has been going on since the last update?

I start spinning classes next Tuesday! WHEE!

Next Friday (Sept 8th), I have my ticket to go to the "Stitch and Pitch" game here in Phoenix. They have some seats where we all get to gather and knit our silly heads off. We even get a goodie bag for going to the game with some yarn and coupons. Should be a total blast!

I went to my first SnB meeting in Chandler on Tuesday evening. They had some really cool folks and I finally finished weaving the ends in on my shadow shawl, so it can be considered officially DONE!!! I am sure I will get some good use out of it when the weather cools down a bit... Is it hot in Phoenix? Does a bear take a Reader's Digest into the woods??? Yup, it is hot... REALLY HOT!!!

Work has been going well. I think I have finally finished all of the web based classes that I need to get the access to the software I will need to use to do my job properly. My eyes are now crossed! Training has been going really well. I thought the learning curve for the job would be steeper than it has been. It's a new tool, but all of the concepts are still the same! That has made life much easier. I got unpacked but during the move my computer monitor and external keyboard got lost. I will wait one more week before I order another one...

I am coming home!!! Yup, I got way too lonesome down here so I am taking a plane back to ABQ for Saturday and Sunday this weekend. I am looking forward to seeing the hubby, the kid, the cats, the dogs and the house! I will probably pack a suitcase full of stuff I am finding that I need before coming back down on Monday!

It gets dark down here at 7pm. I am still trying to get used to that...

I finally started working out! I am about to head back to the hotel, get dinner then work on the upper body today. The lower body workout about killed me on Sunday. It took my legs until Wednesday before they were back to 75% of normal. Last night, I worked the lower body again and today I am pain free... I guess that is progress. I still need to find an ice rink to skate at...

Time to get out of here. I need to get back to the hotel by 7pm so I can get some dinner before lifting the weights!
