Lay Offs Made Easy

I got laid off over a year ago. It has taken the company that long to make the decision to lay off the rest of the Purchasing Assistants and Buyers. This is not a small group at a company of their size, a few of which are friends of mine. I knew people were in trouble as soon as rumors of a take over began, but the amount of detriment it has caused is immeasurable -- in my life alone.

To us it brings new life challenges, to them -- "That Was Easy."

Kenpo X

If you ever need a work out to change up your routine I highly recommend Kenpo X (from the P90X series).
This is the most fun I've had working out in years. It will be become a staple in my week.

Morning Moon

The moon this morning, around six o'clock.
Sunrise Moon 080510
I'd really like a mega badass camera. I could capture some amazing Colorado sunrises and sunsets.

New Routine

Started doing yoga and I love it much more than I anticipated. The combination of the stretching and relaxing with the muscle work and sweat is amazing. I hope to continue with it, at least four days a week.

Now, I must take some ibuprofen and apply the heating pad to my back to ensure ongoing success.
