Action

I think blogging serves multiple purposes. One of those being that blogging helps me keep in touch with my friends and family who aren't near by... meaning everyone. Another purpose is that blogging is therapeutic. It gives me an avenue to basically vent and put what I'm feeling or thinking into words. I think because I put into words what I was feeling and facing in my last post, I was better able to see it all laid out, causing action. Since my last blog, every though its only been like two days, I've actually been finding ways to exercise. Mom also gets credit for being my long distance buddy; since she already exercises, she's going to match me by cleaning the same number of minutes I exercise.) Yesterday I whipped out my stepper and did step aerobics while I watched Ugly Betty online. Then today I took advantage of the warm, and by warm I mean mid thirty degree, weather and went for a nice vigorous walk in my new neighborhood.

Speaking of weather... Nathan will be going to Arizona at the end of March, paid for by the Midland Daily News, to shoot the Great Lake Loon's spring training. Yes, he will be going to sunny, warm Arizona leaving his wife in cold, gray Midland. Nice. Anya's mom asked if there was any way I'd get to go... My answer... if I bought a plane ticket. But really, I'm excited for Nathan. Hmm... maybe he can get a job while he's down there. =)
