Are you a runner?

"Are you a runner?"
"Yes."
"These are AMAZING shoes."
"They sure are! I have had three pair of them. I strayed to another model, but never will again!"
"They've improved them even more than before! Can you believe it?"
"I can't wait to take them for a spin!"

This was an actual conversation today. By a guy in the shoe department and I as I was standing there holding the display version of the Mizuno Wave Creation 8. I am seriously in love with this shoe. it is ugly as sin and I should not have complained that it was orange, because now they are even uglier. I don't care, though. I am in love. Serious love.

This weekend was...interesting? I wasn't sure if I would make it to the Wellsville are or not because of the snow storm that smacked us Friday night. Fortunately, for my hair and me I was able to travel and got the cut Saturday afternoon. Thank goodness!

The original plan was to do dinner and then go out in honor of St. Pat's Day. Things don't always work out, though and that plan was ditched. I did get to have dinner with Cristin Winegard-Hopkins and Katie at the Cuba Bistro, though. That place is just simply deelish. They always have great specials and unique combinations of food (think chicken coated in Corn Flakes with a caramel apple sauce and mashed red potatoes with cheddar cheese and garlic.) It is a take your own bottle kind of place and so we did. I was introduced to a new Pleasant Valley wine (Keuka Lake winery) called "Chocolate Lab." Do you think I would really pass it up. It was so good!

According to the bottle " Chocolate Lab is unabashedly unsophisticated with the familiar fruitiness of the lush, ripe native grapes from which it was made. With a delightful hint of chocolate, it is as unpretentious and approchable as a friendly puppy. Enjoy it chilled or on the rocks. It is truly an "anytime" fun wine that puts on no airs." Doesn't that just warm the cockles of your heart? The after taste is very chocolate and sticks around for a while. I was hoping to find a picture of the label online, but no such luck. Think the face of a choc puppy and there you have it.

I was able to stop and see Aunt Alice for a bit today. She was pretty surprised. Next weekend is Katie Jane's bridal shower, so I will be headed back to Hornell again next weekend.

I have an offer to potentially share an apartment with a couple in West Henrietta. They are looking for someone to share a 2 bedroom apartment and the most attractive thing is that dogs are allowed and the rent is $295. I am not all that sure that I can share a place with people, but maybe I need to make the sacrifice to help get through school?

I also found a Health teacher position listed for the Brighton School District. It did say Health/PE preferred, but it was specifically listed as "Health Teacher." That would only be about 10 minutes from school and could work out well. I am going to try to get an application in by the end of the week. Keep your fingers crossed. Not thrilled about being back in the classroom, but maybe it won't be quite so bad if it is a means to an end.

Guess that's it for now. Looking forward to my bed tonight!
