Hello from "Big D"

I am in Dallas this week, taking an interesting continuing education class on sexual compulsivity (also known as sexual addiction). I have done work in this area, but this week's conference is helping me put a lot of the pieces together. I love doing continuing education, it always translates to helping my cleints heal. There are some therapists who specialize in sexual addiction, I doubt that I'll get that certification, but I will definitely take some more classes. I'll write more about sexual addiction after the workshop is over.

My plan for this trip was to write in the evenings so I can meet some important deadlines. But American Idol was on both Tuesday & Wednesday...and I had to watch. I have never watched American Idol before this season, and it has been fun. I am enjoying the high performance level of the finalists, and have my fingers crossed that my fav, Melinda, will win.

I am a bit self-conscious admitting that I watch AI, but it is a great break from my busy day and it is entertaining. I owe this new love of AI to my friends Michelle and Patrick - thanks guys! Whatever "it" is about AI, it is definitely addicting.

Besides American Idol, I have been enjoying some really delicious meals. I had the world's best crab cakes on Tuesday from Oceanaire, and a splendid steak last night. I don't eat a lot of meat, but sometimes, I crave a big fat steak. It was delicious - a small filet with a reduction sauce and garlic mashed potatoes. The steak was topped with onion threads - can't describe them except to say they were extremely thin, crispy shreds of onion. yum.

time to go to class. Hopefully I'll get some writing done tonight.

Or not!
