| - Morning Train (Nine to Five)Wow, today is actually a really nice day weather wise. Its only going to be in the high 80s and we have like 70% humidity which is nothing compared to what we've been having. I'm looking forward to this weekend. Al and I are driving up to Birmingham to visit my friend from college, Helms. She just got a new job up there as a prof. Man, I have so overly smart and sucessful friends. I know I'm the dummy of the bunch, but I think they love me for being the dummy, that way they aren't. I'm excited to see what Al thinks of at least one of my college friends. We may try to go to the driving range so I can try out the new golf clubs he bought for me. It will be nice when we go to Oregon for Christmas. There are some golf courses near the house that we will try out.
I'm excited and nervous about lots of stuff going on in my life right now, but unfortunately because I can't be sure whose reading I can't share it all. Please pray for me to make good choices in the next coming months, and that God would make his will clear to me by opening and closing the appropriate doors, then that I would have the courage to walk through the right ones.
Oh yeah, I'm a certified group fitness instructor now! Yippee. I've only taught about 4 classes so far, but I have fun doing it, and starting in Oct, I'll be on the payroll at my gym, so it won't just be for gaining experience anymore, it will be the real deal.
Well its been a long time I've kind of missed Xanga in a distant far off way.
Keep bloging ya'll.

|  Ok, well this is going to be a very packed weekend. I guess its good that Al is in California for most of the weekend so I can get stuff done, like.........
getting a new phone,
studying for the ACE exam (I've gotten behind, I'm taking the May exam),
going over my budget (I've been ignoring it, acting like money grows on trees),
pay bills,
do a devotional for Kim's shower,
find Valentines cards and gift,
wash my car,
retransplant my house plants,
catch up on Sunday School material,
laundry,
vacuum,
clean my bathroom,
find out when my last eye exam and dentist vists were,
file my stack-o-papers,
go to Church of the King and Osaka with Melody and Stan,
go to my church Sunday morning,
have lunch with Al and church folks,
praise team practice,
and evening church.
I bet I won't knock off the majority of these things, but its good to know I have a list of things to keep up on. I think it isn't supposed to be a very warm or dry weekend, so at least I won't feel like I have to get out and enjoy the weather. Although, doing errands in the wet and cold isn't too much fun either.

| Superbowl party was fun over at Al and Lee's place. Eventhough the Sea
Hawks didn't win. We had lots of food. Manicotti, ribs, pulled pork
sandwhiches, cookies, chips and dip, etc. I'm tired today, but in
good spirits. I'm happy, just sleepy. Usually when I'm sleepy I'm
cranky, but not today. Its cloudy outside too which makes me just want
to curl up in bed or on the couch and take a long nap with golf playing
on the TV in the background. I love taking naps to golf, I guess having
a man come over whisper softly to me would work too, but its less weird
turning on golf.  It might rain today. I'll have to check the weather before going to the gym.

| Ugh, I don't feel good today. I've got some nausea  ,
but mainly my body aches and I feel dizzy. I hope I haven't caught the
nasty cold that my friends have been passing around. It takes like at
least two weeks to get rid of, so I'd rather just not start it.
It may just be that I'm tired. I tried to keep up with Al yesterday
while running a little over 4 miles. Lee was smart enough to turn back.
Then Al, Lee, Jared and I all went to Olive Garden to celebrate that Al
maxed out on his other insurance policy and Jared's birthday, even
though its really today. We had a nice time. Al is really generous,
paying for everyone. Then I had to get up at 5:00am to be ready for a
day long research cruise that was suppose to occur today, but never
happened. Apparently before we even left to meet the boat in Biloxi,
they had run into a rope which wrapped around the prop and messed
things up. They are booked the rest of the week, so we won't get to
make that up until after this week is over.
It could also be that I feel like I'm floating with my friends. Its
like I don't spend enough time with any of them. I spend most of my
time with Al these days, but that is mostly because he is so good at
scheduling things with me.
The single's group at church is really dwindling. It started with not
having anymore "everyonce in a while" people showing up, then the
"regulars" started allowing other committments to prevent them from
coming. We've had one marriage and two engagements, knocking out four
of our regulars. The rest of us don't really know what to do with each
other. Its like those of us that are left have dated each other before
or know that we would never want too, and so there is some unmentioned
tensions I guess. When I first moved to town the singles group at
church was one of the main reasons I joined. I wanted to give myself
opportunity to meet Christians my age and not feel isolated like I did
when I lived in Oregon. Maybe its time to visit other churches in the
area. Maybe everyone is dragged down by Katrina and can't get back into
the swing. Although Al seems to have done amazingly well staying
positive considering the only thing left of his new house is a floor.
If anyone reads this today, please lift a prayer for me. I just feel wierd.
Love you all!
