Monday....groan

Why does it always seem to be Monday morning??? The weeks usually pass by here at warp speed but never does a weekend seem so far away as it does on Monday mornings, knowing I have to teach 40 classes in order to make it to Friday...sigh... (quit whining Diana)

I did manage to make it up the mountain yesterday, the small one, not the big one. I've been avoiding the mountains like the plague these last few months out of my distaste for all things wintery. But I decided to quit being a wimp about the cold yesterday afternoon, donned about 5 layers of clothing and headed out. A few months ago I was able to charge up the mountain like nobody's business but yesterday it damn near killed me. Of course it didn't help that I have no warm, outdoorsy clothes and was wearing rather inappropriate footwear, but still it was a wake up call that I need to get over my resentment towards Mother Nature and back up that hill on a more regular basis. Goal for this week is to grab a pair of climbing shoes from Home Plus and some full-length exercise pants. And last night my friend Kevin called me, wanting to know if I wanted to go hiking this morning, to which I said not until I get my proper gear, but him and I are going to try and tackle the mountain a few times a week as part of our New Year's Resolutions.

We never made it ice skating yesterday, probably cause the rest of the crowd was out past five on Saturday night and missed the better part of the afternoon. Oh well, no need to show them how graceful I can be on ice skates anyhow (I wish).

So that's about it for now, hope everyone had a good weekend!
