Recharge the batteries

Once again my plans to come to Denver were thwarted by bad weather...bad enough that I didn't want to drive. The thought of not doing something, though, over the weekend was getting me down. So I decided to spend the night in Grand Junction and then go to Glenwood Saturday night. I love the Marriott downtown and I got here around 4:30 last night. I met two gals who I had worked with in the Grand Junction office for dinner at a sushi restaurant. We met at 5:30 and my goodness! I didn't get back to the hotel until 9! I slept in this morning...usually I like to get early and use the fitness center but this time I decided I would just sleep. Once I got up I decided to cancel my trip to Glenwood and stay one more night here due to bad weather in Glenwood. So, today I went shopping! I bought a few new things at Old Navy, meandered through Barnes and Noble, and then walked the mall. I got lunch at Main Street Bagels and brought it back to the hotel. I am now going to lay in bed, read the most recent People magazine and then take a nap. Dad called to say there is a Latin music concert at the Convention Center he had heard about, so I am planning on getting a ticket for tonight. Tomorrow I will head home, and I am going to take Monday off from work. Tuesday is my birthday so I am going to take an Aromatherapy class at the technical school with Robin. Meg sent me a little gift in the mail, and the family are sending theirs, so I will be able to have something to open when I wake up Tuesday morning! This little weekend getaway was exactly what I needed to recharge my batteries and put things back into perspective.
