Arizona Weather

This past week has been a bit crazy for Arizona in the weather department. We had a TON of rain all week and even a tornado warning...yes Toto a tornado warning in Arizona!! I believe the weather has calmed down for now and there is event a trace of snow up in the mountains...in the far distance.





Oh and I had to add the ridiculously large cactus in this front yard. GO BIG OR GO HOME!

TGIF

Well, it's technically just after midnight so it's Saturday. Whew...what a week. I was the team leader at PING for a Value Stream Mapping exercise. This consisted of 16 gruelling hours of meetings followed by a presentation to executive management. All went well and I am positive that things will get done. Now on to the second job...I've worked 3 nights in a row this week and whew...I'm fried. The money has been pretty great but I am feeling the absentmindedness (not sure that is a word) of working 15 hr. days.

Oh....I forgot to mention that I started boot camp this week. It is Mon. - Friday 5:30 am - 6:30 am, rain or shine. It will be a good butt kicking but working late and getting up early has been a struggle. Greg's a little worried I'm over exerting myself...I just like to keep busy and push my limits. Feels like I'm trying to compete in the superwoman contest!!

Tomorrow is the Marathon Pub Crawl so stay tuned for some awesome pictures...Sunday =)

Pretty In Pink


Lani and Bell both got pink harnesses for Christmas. I had the great idea that since Lani is sooo hyper, we could take her on walks. Yes, I know some may think that is ridiculous for cats but we don't want our baby girls off getting in trouble in the neighborhood. The first time we put the harness on Lani she ran around like a crazy cat. After a few more times of wearing the harness she is now used to it and doesn't mind wearing it. Bella on the other hand is still a little skeptical. The first time she wore the harness she took one step and just fell over...pretty darn funny. She is still reluctant to walk with the harness on...typically she scoots while laying on the ground...a work in progress I say
