Before Dawn

This morning I was up bright and early to take my friend Loretta to the airport. I don’t know what it is about airports, but I love going to them! I think it is because I have a serious passion for traveling and would be on a plane all the time if I had the money to do it. To most people airport traveling is a haggle but for me I feel like every time I go there I’m off on an new adventure. I would spend countless hours on a plane or in an airport if it meant I was able to experience something new. Every since I was young my parents have encouraged me to explore new cultures and countries. I could never repay them for all the memories they gave me but I’m beyond thankful for them. If you ever get the chance to travel overseas I would do it without a doubt. I promise the experiences you will have will be way beyond what you anticipate. 

Anyway driving back to my apartment, I stopped and got a cup of coffee and something to eat. I kind of like driving early in the morning when there is no traffic to deal with. Coming home I thought I might go back to bed but I have been wide awake since 4 am. So now I’m wondering if I should even try to go back to sleep. Maybe I should go to the gym since I’m already up? Hum… I could always take a nap later plus I will get an earlier start to my morning if I stay up! Okay, I guess I’m going to go get ready…off to the gym I go!  

Shovel… What’s That?

After the snow storm was over, I was totally snowed in… 12 inches of fresh white fluff! To bad there isn’t any mountains in Circle City… I would have loved to hit the slopes in this kind of weather. After they plowed our parking lot, the nice plow guy put a load of snow behind my car! Not having four-wheel drive I determined that it would be impossible to get out. Since I’m from Florida the thought of owning a shovel has never really crossed my mind living in apartments. I knew I needed to find one because I would be rolling out in the snow for hours trying to dig out my car with my hands. It hardly ever snows like this in Indiana and this was something I was not prepared for. Thus I pulled out my trusty cell phone and made a couple phone calls to see if I could find someone to bring me a shovel.

Without hesitation Mr. Fitness, a guy I’ve been becoming friends with from the gym came to my rescue! He told me it would be no problem and he would show up after work. As time passed I wondered if he was really going to come because I hadn’t heard from him and it was starting to get late. When he finally called me he said I hope I dug out the right car! Confused, I said…”What ?!?!” He laughed and said something along the lines of, “yep, I didn’t want you to have to do it.”

I couldn’t believe he just dug out my car by himself without telling me he was at my apartment doing it. That was super nice of him and I appreciated it a ton. Haha which brings me to the reason I think he did it…. He asked if I wanted to hang out this weekend with him and some of his friends. I told him I would have to think about it… so there is a chance I might be hanging out with them on Saturday night. We will see what happens, I haven’t made up my mind about it yet. 

Finding a Gym

Lately, I haven’t been able to run outside due to the cold weather Circle City has been having… not even my under armor spandex has kept me warm! But after a week and a half of laying around the house complaining that it was too cold to work out… I figure it was time to get up and do something about it. So I got a gym membership this past Saturday. I figure it would be nice to get out of the house for a while and have some people to be around, while I work out. A great benefit with this gym is that I get to take any classes they offer… which is pretty sweet (I’ve been wanting to try out a cycle class, so I’m pumped about that). I have been twice now to the gym and I’m loving it! The gym is really nice and was just opened two days ago. Working out at a gym I think will be good for me because I find when I watch people during my working out it keeps me distracted from the time. Which is a nice change from staring at a wall the whole time and checking to see how much longer I have to go. Plus, I’ve seen some cute guys there (hey… you never know). So I’m sure I will have some fun stories to tell from the gym coming up, so keep an eye out for them.
