Just between you, me and the world wide web

I have picked up a new "hobby". Finally.

I have been running folks. No, not Forrest Gump running, just regular ol' jogging and walking. I probably do it 4-5 times a week now and usually for about 25-30 minutes. Nothing too crazy, but I still really enjoy it. I think if you have told me a year ago, maybe even 6 months ago, I'd be jogging daily AND enjoying it, I would have called you crazy and asked you what you were smoking (and why aren't you sharing?). Either way, that's what's going on and I enjoy it.

Hmmm - what else. Oh yeah. I made the mistake of putting my profile up on a couple of online dating sites. I immediately regretted it and have since taken them right off. For some reason, the idea of it just really creeps me out. Also, to be honest, I don't have the time, desire or energy to actually search for someone. I mean, more power to those who are on those sites and to those it has actually worked for - but I just don't think it's what I want.

I'm not going to say my relationship w/Eric was perfect, but it definitely set the bar and now I'm just not willing to settle for anything or anyone less. I guess I can expect to be alone for a while. Regardless, I'm still way too fresh off a very serious relationship... One of my best friends said maybe I needed someone to have "fun" with. Someone I'm definitely not interested in, in order to get my "rebound" on. But like I said... it's just not enough for me anymore. I've always been good at settling, at the whole "just having fun" bit. Now. Notsomuch. Yeah - I believe this is what they call "growing up". I think there was a "Growing Pains" episode about this. I can see it now. Carol realizes that she doesn't NEED to hook up just for fun and that hooking up when there's a real emotional attachment is so much better. Cue the live audience collective "Awwwww".

In the meantime, I am absorbed in my new car and making it out to be exactly what I want. Too bad that can't be free. Oh well. It's only money. It's the reason I work so much, right?

Speaking of work - I'm teaching teaching (yep, it's supposed to be there 2x) a class that starts on Monday. It's a Student Development Course. It should be a knock out, but it will include creating assignments and grading. Good times. I'll let y'all know what happens.
