Gotta have the gear

I realized another problem I have. You see I really want to get into better shape. So I'm trying to get into running. Not a bad idea, but it cost $70 just to sign up for a running clinic. Basically I'm paying to run with a group. But you can't run in a group like this without proper gear so I decided I really needed a running jacket. I also decided that I didn't want to give that company any more of my hard earned cash so I went to Lulu Lemon and bought a running jacket there ($84). While I was there the girl convinced me to try on another shirt under the jacket to see how it fit. When it gets colder here I'll need to have more layers. The second shirt looked so good I almost bought it. I was able to convince myself I had spent enough for today... but I will likely fork over the extra $99 for the second shirt. Then I was also thinking I might need some warmer pants... maybe some sort of hat or scarf... socks...

I find myself in this sort of situation all the time. I already have Lulu Lemon pants from when I took up yoga in the summer (I only attended one class in the end). I also bought a yoga mat. I haven't opened it up once.

Then there was the time I decided I wanted to take up skiing.

This is serious. It's time I sought professional help. Financial advisor, here I come! Does that cost money???

    Having a journey for others to follow will be very interesting........I was looking for a way to have an interactive blog and this could be the beginning.

    Thanks, Sherry

  • Hello, neighbor to the north. I too am a new blogger. I found ur blog in the help section. I can't find my blog thru a search and am trying to find ways like u to get my stuff out there. I'm a little political and maybe too controversial for some. Do you know if I have to do anything special to get my blog on the www?
