1. I'm finally done with school and had been looking forward to reading on our deck and getting a little bit of sun before we leave for Florida. Sun = Not so much around the greater Seattle area these days. It's been overcast, windy, and rainy for the past week. Bleh! Chris and I were going to hike last weekend but it was super cold here in Kent which means it's probably 10 degrees cooler toward the mountains. I'm beginning to think that I have some form of Seasonal Affective Disorder, but only in response to crappy summer weather. I can be happy as a clam in the winter when it's cold and grey for months because it's *supposed* to be that way. Rain and grey in summer = depression. Maybe I should go tanning... or get a light box or something.
2. On tap for this weekend: Anthony Bourdain and the Furry 5k. I am a *huge* Bourdain fan. Love everything he's written and his snark is, dare I say it... sexy. I do so love the snark. We're going with C and T to see him at the Moore Theater on Saturday. Not sure if it's a reading or what he's doing but I'm sure it will be entertaining. Sunday is the Furry 5k - a benefit for the Seattle Animal Shelter. We usually walk/run every year. In fact, last year, it was the 5k that I ended up running two weeks before my couch to 5k program ended. Unfortunately, I wound up with shin splints and never ran again. This year, Kala and I are walkers (well, Kala will probably end up being carried). Let's just hope for no rain!
3. Despite the crappy weather, I've been gearing up for the Florida heat and humidity. I've bought some sleeveless tops and even a few skirts (gasp!) for the trip. I need some cute shoes and a couple more pairs of shorts and I should be good to go. I haven't walked for the last week due to the weather and finishing up my class so I haven't lost as much as I had hoped. I'm still eating pretty well and I've got 2 1/2 weeks left until the trip. I need to kick it up a notch!

1. This weather is teh sux. That's all there is to it. I'm moving to the island from Lost. It always seems nice there.
2. I am actually looking forward to the Furry 5K. I think it'll be a lot of fun! Kala will struggle. Heh.
3. I'm looking forward to vacation! WANT.
I know, isn't it awful?! We usually would be able to turn off our furnace by now (oil heat ugh) but the mornings are still chilly. I'm keeping it low and wearing long sleeves and a lap blankie in my basement office *cry*.
Looking forward to some Queen Kala pics from the Furry 5K.
Hang in there. You get to escape soon.
