I love 24-hour Fitness. Granted, I probably don't appreciate it as much as some people because my parents are paying for my membership (their choice, not mine -- poor me, right?), but it is so darn convenient 'cause they're all over the place, and the classes are actually really good. My favorite, in particular, that I have been going to for the past month (need to up the amount of days I go each week, though) is the 24 S.E.T. class, a cardio-strength combo class that really seems to kick my butt every time. I like that it keeps me moving and working out for an hour straight. At least for me, sometimes it's super hard -- unless I'm oddly super-motivated -- to make yourself work out hard for an hour straight without getting bored or giving up.

Anyway. That's that.

In other news, I have been really wanting to try scuba diving lately ... not sure why I have a sudden fascination with the ocean (maybe it's all the Discovery Channel?) but I need to ask my friend Vanessa, who I am also so fortunate to work with, when she gets back 'cause she used to work at a dive shop. I'm worried this could be an expensive hobby though ...

Also --

I totally miss html and tinkering with all that stuff, so be assured that the look of this WILL change. Just can't do it at work :)

Ex-journalist Still Needs Place to Write

So here it is, plain and simple. I read everyone else's blogs, often think of blog-worthy material, yet have no outlet (anymore) until now.
