on second thought, au contraire

Such a fresh, hopeful night. I don't want to lose the feeling of walking home in the wind and the soft rain... it smells so fresh outside tonight, like anything could happen. Someone was actually complaining in my direction about the weather earlier, and I was wishing it were sunny for her, but now I am selfishly taking that sentiment back.

(It looks like tomorrow's going to be soft and rainy too, even warmer than today, and that's good because I'm going to be sleepy. Rain and coffee... mmmmhmmmm.)

Quite possibly the best, scariest day of 2008 so far

Wow, it never rains but it pours.

Most of you know I've daydreamed in the past about owning and running my own gym someday... I've got the books, have talked to local people who have done it, got certified as a personal trainer just to move slightly in that direction and test the fitness waters.

So it turns out that, just as I'm feeling a little more settled into Zillian, my dream gym, Fitness First, has been put on the market. That's 1000 square feet of sunny floor space in Arlington, with an established membership base, locker rooms, the whole deal. And I just barely, barely have the money for it...

( Cut for length, angst and, I admit, some excited babbling )
