Today was a good day. I fit back into a pair of my "thin" khakis. I actually avoided the bowl of M&M's in one of my co-worker's office. Best of all, the sun came out and it got a little warmer. Ahhhh. I never thought I'd hear myself say this, but I'm ready for warm weather again. I want to go play tennis. The new township park is open and they have supposedly put in better tennis courts. Anything would be an improvement over what was there before.

Hockey practice was great last night. Very tiring, but great. We did a full 20 minutes of nothing but hard skating drills. Suicides, backwards/forwards laps and circle drills. Ugh. Even though I have been hitting the gym at least 2 times a week for the past couple of weeks I was huffing and puffing by the time we were done. Ugh. Weird thing is, I could have gone another hour. I wasn't ready to leave the ice when our hour of practice was up. Gasp! Does this mean I'm becoming a puck-head?! Who knew.

Told Room mate Marti I was going to be putting my profile on the internet dating website. She of course wants to do it now too. Whatever. I guess this means her relationship with 'Bama man is now over. Not that it really was much of a relationship. Basically just based on sex. Not that there's anything wrong with that, it's just been my observation (and personal experience) that long distance relationships never work out. Then again, I do know several married couples who started out long distance and are still going strong. Sigh. I guess it all just depends on how badly you want it. I've hit the point now where if the right guy comes along, I'll do what I can to make things work. A big deal breaker though is not letting me have time to myself. I need to have some alone time every now and then. Just to get away, go to my favorite place and clear out my mind. I do my best thinking there and whenever I have a problem or I need to just get out that's usually where I can be found. It was the first place I ran to when the whole thing with my parents started. It's my sanctuary. If I ever move away from here it will be one of the first things I'll miss.
