10 minutes, but it's something. and it gets some people off my back. though i'm sure i will have to run more than one morning to do it for real.

kinda sad...i could run 30-milers in november and now i get winded on a 3 mile loop with no hills. goddamn...i really really let panther get to me. worse, she doesn't even know. pointless extreme.

ok, i'm at barnes and noble, and i walked in with the doors opening so it's not crowded and i got myself a seat. i brought work. well, sort of. i'm going to post some of the last weeks lesson plans on my teacher blog. i think it will help better personalize it. one thing i ran into yesterday that was a problem was my inability to get my uploads to download in a readable fashion. a lot of my worksheets come down garbled. it may be because i write them on a mac and the website i was going to use for a "bookcase" is not compatible with it. something to think of today. later.

also, one more thing to think of, is what am i going to do about c's party...do i go or not? i don't like people inviting me at the last minute --disrespectful, i think. or at the least it's not how i operate. so do i bit it and go just to go? it's new people. but will it be people i even want to be with? and am i ready to make small talk?

here at the bookstore: i don't talk to people. i read and work. so i can't be accused of being a hypocrite.

early this morning...more sleepless...before my run, i went stumbling for other people's diaries. i guess i was really lonely. looking for someone to "talk" to...hmm....well, whatever....i did find some people. interesting people. especially teachers. kinda cool.

so i might be connect with people behind the veil of this website.

as i was walking around the store, i found a great little present for my secret pal. yeah, i dd the secret pal thing at work. ugh, and i've been a crappy pal. i've been so down lately that i haven't been able to give things to him. woody's not the easiest guy to buy for. least of all because he is strange. : ) kind, but strange. he's ex-navy. tat's down both arms so he NEVER can wear sleeveless shirts. he also has a red beard, but wears his like a pirate. i kid you NOT. his hair is cut short like a marine and a huge bluebeard-like mane on his chin. weird weird weird. but he's so nice i can't but say hi and chat with him.

so he likes chocolate and trivia. i got him so books on trivia. and bags of chocolate. but i need more. so just now i found some greetng cards on sale with famous authors on them. i got one for me and one for him. oh, he's an english teacher too.

lots of babes coming in with sunday best on. : )

this vente mocha is great! i LOVE coffee. specially sweet on sunday. and after the three cups this morning, sweet is best. sigh. more reason to get off my ass and run more, it will add up on my ass. oh, vanity. panther hated me taking such care of myself. maybe i shouldn't own mirrors.

alright more later, but i really should get to "work"...

lots of love
