Texas & Me

I confirmed today that I will be spending a large portion of my summer living out of a suitcase in Dallas. (I would really appreciate any positive views on this situation.) A woman in our Texas office is heading out on maternity leave in early July and will be out for roughly two months. In her absence, I am going to "help out". For me that means I will spend roughly 4 workdays there in June, 10-16 workdays there in July and 7 workdays there in August. If I weren't a total homebody, this would be no big deal, maybe even an adventure. For me, I love my house, my garden, my dog and my husband and don't see much reason to leave the house.
Good Things:
* Chipotle (we don't have those in NM)
* Frequent flier miles
* Better shopping (if I have time)
* Chipotle (I plan to eat there more than once)
Bad Things:
* Running in severe humidity (this could be a good thing since it will help me prep for the humid Kauai marathon)
* Living out of a suitcase
* Being away from my home
* Being away from my husband
Help me add to my lists...

This is nuts. I feel bad for ya, though I wanted to think of another positive and I'm going to say Nordstrom as I believe you like to make stops there for some good shopping while in Dallas.

Umm, you don't have a Chipotle in NM? Then that's a very good thing about Dallas! Think of all the burritos and tacos and guac...
