High School Horror

So I had one of those high school type OMG moments today at the gym that initially left me horrified but then had me laughing so much today. After a particularly hard workout I went to go wash my hands before changing to go. Of course somebody was in the bathroom so I proceeded to change and then went back. After I left the bathroom to go get my coat to leave, I had a brain lapse and didn't even realize it until I found myself walking into the men's changing room! Oh My God! And who happened to be in there but of course the hot guy who is good eye candy and an added motivation to just show up. LOL. Fortunately he was not naked (although that would have been an extra bonus...ha ha). I don't know what the hell I was thinking. What a brain fart to have. Sharif was cool about it but still...I was mortified for at least thirty seconds and then I found myself laughing. He was even joking when he came out telling Jeff I was sneaking a peak. My response was it's not like you have anything I haven't seen before buddy! LOL. Well at least I won't make that mistake again and will probably laugh now every time I pass the men's changing room.

I'm feeling slightly stiff now but a good night's sleep will help with that. I'm really excited and terrified about my commitment to do this half marathon. Especially since I am not working it gives me more time to train and plan (but finding employment still trumps workouts) but I'm terrified in the sense that the fundraising goal, while not outrageous could be difficult for me to reach since I don't know many who will part with money towards any other cause aside from their own. Makes me think how flexible I am (shameless plug for myself). Looking at my donation history, I contribute alot with a very modest income to many diverse organizations. Good for me! OK end of my shameless plug. If I don't rise the money, I'm on the hook for it. Kind of tough since I don't have any income coming in. However I'm going to be optimistic that I can raise the money, train without getting hurt, and successfully complete the race and help out a good cause all at the same time. Everything will work out well. I just know it.

Quick blurb about New Jersey's initial plan to possibly implement furloughs to shore up a budget deficit. I absolutely hate it when I hear government employees bitching about not getting paid for three week. Is it difficult to go without pay? Absolutely. But have they thought about what if instead of a furlough it could be a layoff with no income? I'd rather take no pay for a few days rather than no job or benefits any day. As for the Rhianna and Chris Brown stuff...who cares. Why is this still in the news? Why did it ever make the news to begin with? Isn't that why we have entertainment shows like ET and Access Hollywood? Same thing with the Octomom. What a nut job she is. How selfish is she in my opinion? Very. Her mother is an accomplice. That's what happens when parents enable children. If the mom wasn't around to help take care of the first few would she have kept going to get impregnated at a clinic. I don't think so. Oh well...now 14 more kids have to be provided for in this world.

It was so cold outside. Love it. I know it was cold because my eyes were watering and I had the sniffles on my walk. I was dressed warmly though. o.k. better go. have some stuff to work on and I'm getting even stiffer sitting here typing a the computer. more tomorrow.
