Gas Prices

I'm not going to complain about the price of gasoline because it will do no good. Look at the prices in Europe. They have been paying MUCH higher prices than us for a very long time.  I'd also like to point out that they drive small, compact cars. Part of that is their roads are narrower and space is limited, but they also must for fuel efficiency. Tonight on the news, they were talking about how the president should do something to relieve these high prices. Are they stupid? Do they think he cares? Have they forgotten that he (and his family) is in the oil business. Why do you think that we invaded Iraq and not Saudi Arabia? Of course, to protect the precious Bush oil fields. Higher prices mean more money for them. I could be way off base here. Why are we so far behind other countries in finding alternatives to gasoline? Okay, I'm done now….

Urp Slop, Get the Mop

I actually pulled my butt out of bed before 8 am to run this morning. It's really nice and sunny plus I had my headphones on and I guess I got a little carried away because I suddenly felt like I was going to puke. Not just a little like I was going to puke; alot like I was going to puke. I'd just crossed the bridge from Island Park to the River Walk. I'm pretty sure I saw my ex husband fishing. (I say pretty sure because I was running and he had his back to me and I wasn't going to stop and stare.) And there were people coming the other way. How embarassing that would have been to be bent over the railing puking my guts out. People probably would have thought that I was a drunk sobering up from the night before. But, I slowed way down and managed to hold in my cookies…Now I feel pretty good.

That is what my legs feel like. I've been walking but that just wasn't cutting it anymore so after some encouragement and advice from a friend and a co-worker, I decided to step it up a notch and run. Yes, run or jog until I'm physically able to run. It wasn't until Monday that I got serious about it. I was wisely advised to alternate running and walking. I walked more than I ran on Monday but today, I'm proud to say that I ran more than I walked…whoo hoo for me! I could tell an almost immediate difference on Monday in my mental state of mind. It also helps that I had a job interview that went really well with a company that I'd really like to work for. Today I'm feeling really good too. Even after discovering that I'm out of money.

I’m in a pissy mood…

…it’s Monday morning, I left the house late, had a quiz equivalent to a final exam in operating systems and I’m still really far behind in all my classes…somebody shoot me.
