so i went to destin – survived – almost – or thought i wouldn’t – or something like that when i tried to do so outdoor running saturday and sunday – sunday, it got even better (worse) b/c my water bottle mysteriously disappeared and my hotel key was left in my room – brilliant next 20 minutes of my life as i said my goodbyes to my internal organs…

but…

i got back in – got water – got back to alabama – and all is right in the world (all that for like 10 minutes of beach time – enough time to walk a bit on the beach – and go away – definitely not a beach person – in my defense, it wasn’t my trip – the idea anyway)

books…

“switch” – business book on how to create change – basically, it can be hard to do when people don’t “feel” inclined to change – or it doesn’t make sense to them – or they don’t have a path to follow – i’m sure what i read will come in handy next year in motivating everyone to become like me:)

“my father at 100” by ron reagan – great book – stories about our 40th president – things i didn’t know – even though i’ve read a bunch on reagan – his son is a democrat so that adds some intrigue to the book – or did – good read – again

outside of those two, i just had odds and ends – my sister dropped “deathly hallows” by my house while i was gone – so i’m going to give that a reread in prep for the movie – can’t wait – hope football guys are surviving their “tough, macho” workouts – be sure to project dinner into the proper trash cans (read: not mine) when the running gets tough:)
