Sugar Land, TX

Just quickly, I was recently down in Sugar Land, TX (just south of Houston) for a couple of weeks (Feb 14-25) for work.  I spent the 1st week there on my own and had a colleague there for the 2nd week.  Nothing too excited went on down there:

-  I continued on my INSANITY workout (see separate INSANITY page). I had a large enough room to do the workouts thankfully.
-  I ate 3 times at my favorite burger joint (Pappas Burger).
-  I spend some solid coin at Katy Mills Mall over the weekend.  It's an outlet mall and I went crazy on shoes.  Yeah, I purchased 7 pairs (mix of casual dress, dress and sneakers).  There was an amazing amount of "buy 1, get 1/2 of second" deals at a lot of stores and a "buy 1,  get 2 free pairs" at the Bass Shoes outlet. I also purchased a couple of pairs of jeans (as noted in my INSANITY page, I am down to a size 36 waist; haven't seen the likes of this since... I have no idea).
-  One night I went to visit some family in Houston.  My godfather's (Bruno) daughter, Capucine, and her husband, Arthur, live there.  The timing was perfect since Bruno and his wife (Yabeth) were in town for a couple of months.  They were there to help Capucine and Arthur with their new born, Cerise.  The baby was just 4-5 days (I forget) old when I was there.  OMG how small.  I wasn't that small was I????  We had a nice family night.

Other than that, nothing more to report.  It's fantastic that the warm weather has returned to Texas.  Shorts and T-Shirts were worn much of the time (other than for work).

Well, the next trip is up to Calgary and Fort McMurray in Alberta, Canada.  I can say good bye to warm weather for those 2 weeks!!!  Not cool!
