26 days...lost a day in transit!

I've arrived safely at my trade show for the cross stitch side of my life after a day that started at 3 am EST. The Embassy Suites hotel is wonderful except, horror of horrors... NO FREE WEIGHTS!! It's a very good thing that Donna and I planned for this! She showed me all kinds of stuff that I can do from push-ups and dips with the hotel room coffee table (although this one is a glass top!) to leg presses and cross-overs. They excercise room here has treadmills and a bike, but the last thing I want now is too much cardio!! Luckily, I brought my power bands along, so I do have a bit of resistance stuff. IF Nick and I were alone, we'd head to the nearest gym and get a week's membership or something. As it is, I think that diet will play a MUCH bigger role in keeping me on track this week. The airport food was hideous today and we did manage to get a few groceries for a healthy supper... but the first thing we did after we got checked into the hotel was to find a Chick-Fil-A (I hope I spelled that right!) for lunch because the kids and Nick just LOVE that restaurant. Ok... I'll be honest... I love the waffle fries and lemonade that came with my charbroiled chicken wrap! Once is enough for me though.
Trying to figure out the hotel computer and pay for minutes was another treat. I really wanted this to be a daily blog, but if the interface remains this slow, I may go out in search of a faster internet cafe or something!
Isn't it hard when technology hasn't quite caught up to what you envision??? Heaven help me when they finally get holosuite technology!!! I'll write programs and stories so complex for people to wander into that they'll never want to come out!! Heh! Heh!
Ok...I'm not even sure if this blog makes sense after more than 16 hours on the road. I'll check in here tomorrow!

Hard to believe that a hotel doesn't have free weights in this day and age. And you were close! It's Chik-Fil-A (no second c in chick). :) Their lemonade is divine, isn't it? Hope you have a good time at market. Eat healthy! LOL
