Back from Seattle


Sadly I'm back from the Seattle 60's and back to the Oklahoma 90's. I stepped off the plane in Seattle and immediately froze my bum off! With the convenience of Seattle shopping I was able to purchase some warmer clothes to manage their 50 degree mornings. How we forget what 50 feels like. The hometowners spotted me as a tourist quickly and made jokes about my coat. For real? How do they wear shorts in 50 degree weather? I have decided that I come from a family of very thin blood and boy do I HATE to be cold! At the football game a lady in the bathroom was laughing at our pom girls for wearing a jacket over their tiny little top. In my mind I was thinking how I wished we were playing this game in Oklahoma so I could see how their cheerleaders withstood the 100 degree heat. Then who'd be laughing at sweaty, stinky cheerleaders. :-) In spite of freezing while walking and doing the tourist things, I thought about how their weather this time of year is perfect for running. But who wants to run all by themselves in a city they barely know? Well, that was my excuse for not running. Then when I was so miserable after eating like a horse, I convinced myself I'd throw up if I worked out at the hotel fitness center. Excuses.... Excuses!!!
