Blah!

I have been trying really hard lately to be happy. I know, how sad that I have to "try"! Grrrrr!!! But, as a wise Master Yoda once said, "do or do not. There is no try." Unfortunately for our bank account, I have at times resorted to a small amount of "retail therapy". I decided that was not going to help me be happy because then we would have no money, then we couldn't put any money into our savings account, which in turn would mean that we would never buy a van, which would lead to countless other reasons for unhappiness. So, really, you see now why I had to find a more healthy outlet. I decided to bring out my old friend, Mr. Jogging Stroller. He and I haven't talked in quite some time and it took some serious work(like blowing all the tires back up) to get him warmed back up to the idea of me pushing him around. Then I had to tell him, "hey, Mr. Jogging Stroller, remember that kid Max you used to hold? Well, he's much heavier now and much more ornery." Finally all was worked out and I believe I was forgiven for my long hiatus. So, back to the sadness... Every time I have felt "blah" as I like to call it, I have stuck poor Max into Mr. Jogging Stroller(who will now be called "Mr. J" for short), grabbed water and my i-pod, and taken off. Thus far I have walked 5 miles in the past 2 days. I am hoping that my "blah" will continue to occur(only once) daily so that I might lose some weight, which would eventually fix one of my many reasons for being "blah" in the first place! I shall keep you posted on how many "blah" induced miles I walk and maybe, just maybe on how "HOT" it is making me!

Mr. J
