a quick note before bed. there are wildfires that are burning in north carolina and virginia this week. we had really bad winds and some of the fires may be been set intentionally. the winds were near 70mph gusts on sunday and that didn't help. the ones near us are just over the VA line into NC, about 25 miles from the house. my work is 7 miles from the border and we had a smoky haze in the building today and all day it smelled like a fire place...yum...hopefully they will get them under control soon. on the way home from work today, it looked foggy because there was so much smoke blowing into virginia.
i hate ticketmaster. i just bought tickets to see RENT in Norfolk, which I LOVE. the tickets were $50 each and then add on a "building charge", a "convenience charge", and an "order processing charge" ...so now my $50 tickets are $62.50. does anyone else use another outlet to buy tickets? i've heard of several like stubhub and things...can you use them like ticketmaster?
my first day at the gym. yesterday i didn't feel well at all and woke up today with a stuffed up head and throat...and then went to work in smoke - awesome - so i did marathon Tuesday - pilates, running, and step..whew..i'm pooped.
here's the story on the biggest loser at work. some guys are trying to play amongst themselves to lose weight and be more healthy. they are measuring by the % of body weight so of course, being competitive, i wanted in! they are all much bigger than me, but i wanted to play. I lost 2 pounds the first week (partly my shoes). i do a mid-week weigh in wed and an official one on fridays...since i'm doing a lot of toning at the gym, i may not lose weight every week, but hopefully i'm gaining muscle! and after the 2nd week, i'm not losing!
time for bed...my boys are already there. goodnight.
