Parking Lot Perils

In college, my friends and I lived in the ghetto.  When I say ghetto, I mean chalk outlines on the sidewalk as I walked home, pad-lock bars on our windows, and never ending sirens screaming out warning after warning.  And I was never scared.  In fact, when my friends would be too scared to walk home from night class or a bar by themselves, they would call me to walk them home.

My own personal nightmare

Fast forward to tonight... I got out of work kind of late and wanted to go to the gym.  There were only parking spots far away from the door.  As I parked my car, I prepared the old "grab everything I need quickly and in the same motion, open the door then run away while trying not to look like I'm scared and running away" maneuver.  You've all done it so don't judge me.

Home sweet home.

The difference between myself and most sane people is that they've done that maneuver in the dead of night in a back alley, where as I did it at 6:45 in a lighted parking lot of a Gold's Gym located on a main road.  This is just another reason why I am not cut out to live in a small town!  Or it could be another reason why I am slightly off my rocker...

Been gone for a minute...

So I've been gone for a while... but I've missed blogging!  I'm not sure if anyone missed reading my blog, but I really have missed writing.  It's therapeutic for me.  I am recommitting to blogging.
There's actually a lot of things I want to re-commit to that I have let slip away over the past months.  Before I tried to do a list every Monday and called it "Make-A-List Mondays".  So here is my first new list, just a day early.

Re-commitment List

1.  Blogging

2.  Working out

3.  Working ahead

4.  Cooking dinner
