minneapolis...in february (yes, i am just that crazy)

Yup, believe it or not I am in Minneapolis, MN in February! Whoda thunk? I'm only here because of one of my conferences. Otherwise, why? really? When I checked in, the clerk told me I had a beautiful view of downtown. So, what do you think?

Quite the view? Uh....right. Especially loving the construction zone right in the middle. So...I looked up instead of down and found a much better sight. Not too bad actually!














Here's the good and the bad from my trip so far:

Good: I flew over all the weather in Denver and experienced ZERO delays in getting here.
Bad: Had a pretty bumpy ride.
Good: I was able to find a local Kinko's to print a poster for me.
Bad: They did not deliver on Saturdays.
Good: The store was 2 miles away and walking it to pick up the poster gave me 12,000 steps for the day.
Bad: I was cold for HOURS after I got home, even after I bumped up the thermostat in my room.
Good: I was stopped at a gas station and picked up a diet dr. pepper on the way back.
Bad: I also picked up a package of turtles.
Good: even with the turtles I was still under my calories for the day.
Bad: I want more turtles and the gas station is not that far away.
Good: I was in meetings all day today and will be tomorrow so couldn't leave to get those yummy turtles.
Bad: I was in meetings all day today and will be tomorrow.
Good: the Super Bowl party was a big hit!
Bad: During the party found out one of my classes tomorrow will be recorded.
Good: I told them I don't approve and some advance notice would be appreciated. No recording.
Bad: still not quite ready for my classes tomorrow.
Good: all will be over in less than 24 hours. Just 24 hours and then I'll probably walk to get some dr. pepper and some turtles to celebrate, which will also help me get in more steps.

That's it for now! I'm not making it to the hallmark of Minneapolis...the Mall of America...I think I'll survive anyway.
