Not that I'm complaining. I realize it is much warmer here than other places in this world of ours. But is just looks like it would be much warmer than it is - totally clear skies and sunny and yet only about 50 degrees.

Work is still really busy for me but getting a lot better. I have absorbed most of the responsibilities for our P.E.T., Parent Effectiveness Training, department so I am dealing with a lot of parents and instructors which can be nice because I get to hear their success stories about how much P.E.T. helped them with their families. We are also finally finishing up a revision of a program for personal development which is very good and I think will get a lot of interest. I have also been in charge of getting our website revised and updated. It is a total overhaul and the project has been taking quite a while but we are finally seeing some progress with the people who are implementing my designs. It is going to look pretty awesome when it is finished and I am very excited for that to happen. I'll be sure to put up a link to the new site when it is live.

Other than work...hmmm...I had a LOST Premiere party with my friends last week which was very fun. My friend Marisa made her apartment look like a jungle and even built a tarp-tent over her TV - just like Sawyer's! I can't wait for tomorrow night's episode. It makes me so happy that LOST is back. And it looks like the writers' strike just might be over soon so hopefully we can get a full season instead of just the eight episodes they have already shot.

I have re-fallen in love with the band MUSE. I kinda went crazy and bought all of their CDs (like the actual CD - not iTunes) last weekend. They only have five so it isn't too bad, don't worry. I also pre-ordered their DVD of their last tour show which is coming out in March. They are one band that I most definitely want to see live and I really am kicking myself because back in September I had the opportunity to get free tickets to their concert when they were in San Diego for Street Scene but I had to work at Sport Chalet and so I didn't go. :( They are now performing in South Africa so who knows when they will be back in the States..... but I assure you that when they are, I will be there.

As you can see below, I also have my annual Oscar party coming up in a few weeks. I'm not gonna lie, I kinda forgot about it until a couple days ago. So the strike actually works well because I think it will be much easier to throw together an informal party than a formal one. Again, hopefully the writers' strike will be over so there is actually a show to watch.

I am also trying to find a race that I want to do or some kind of competition that will get my lazy butt into the gym. It really does make a difference to have that. Tracey - you mentioned starting up something like that next week maybe? A competition to see who could run the most miles in 30 days? Anyone up for it? I am thinking about maybe doing the Disneyland Half Marathon on August 31st but it is $100 and right now I really don't feel like spending that on a race....we'll see.

I also recently watched the movie "3:10 to Yuma"(R - for violence and brief language). It is very good and I highly recommend it. Also nominated for two Oscars this year for Original Score and Sound.

That is all I can think of for now. So there you go - update on me. :)
