So today I got the most exciting email from my mom… asking me: “do you want to start looking for the camera… the long awaited graduation present from me to you?” Eeek, really??  She’s not paying for all of it, maybe half of it… and the rest of the money will come from my savings/the dslr fund (and thanks to all you kind-hearted people that donated, I appreciate it more than you know).

No we’re not going to get into what camera I’m getting.  No more debating.  And no, I haven’t decided anything yet, I’m going to play with a friend’s camera later this week, go to the stores and pick up some different ones, see how they feel, etc.  You’ll know what I’m getting once I’ve gotten it.  I am a bit concerned about how much it will all cost.  First there’s the camera itself, the memory card, I’d like to get a bag for it (anyone know of any cute camera bags?), eventually I’d like a remote for it (actually, one of the first things I want)… what other “basics” do I need?

Sunday I didn’t have to go to the gym, having been Wednesday – Saturday.  So today was the first time I woke up and *nothing* was sore or ached.  It felt nice.  So of course, today I had to go to the gym.  But I’ve decided to try to go Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays and then do yoga on Saturdays.  Last week I think he made me go 3 days in a row because I started on a Wednesday.  I figure now I can space it out.  Plus he wasn’t around when I left (more on that in a sec) so I figured, I call the shots.

I think I’ve picked up on what bothers me about the trainer at the gym. It’s not so much having the trainer anymore, I’ve started to understand the benefits of having one.  It’s just the trainer that I ended up with is annoying.  I’ve only worked with him 3 times (and the first time he was trying to get me to sign up), and the last 2 times (including today) he acts like I’m bothering him.  I mean, take today for instance.  He told me to do cardio for 30 mins and to come find him when I’m done… and when I’m done, I’m told that he’s stepped out for a bit.  So his boss writes down what weight training I should do and off I go, and attempt to do it on my own.  Then about 10 mins into it my trainer appears, changes some things, then acts like I’ll see him after I’m done… but when I’m finished it turns out he left for his lunch break.  What the heck?  I’m tempted to try to change trainers but that might be more hassle than it’s worth.

Meanwhile cute trainer guy.  I seriously think I lose all normal social skills when I talk to him… I forget my manners and how to talk, it’s horrible.  He was talking to me and asks, “What are you doing tonight?”  (pfft, catching up on True Blood.. my Netflix dvds came in today… okay I didn’t say that, I just said “nothing much”) He continues…  “You know what I’m doing tonight? I’m going to have a margarita.”  Now, he’s talking to me as I’m doing some annoying exercise on the staircase and I’m trying to keep count of what number I’m on, trying to remember to breathe, and I’m feeling this awful pain.  So all I say is, “oh that’s cool”. And then he goes on to talk about how he has the next two days off… and then I don’t know, I think he got paged to the front or something.  And I’m stuck thinking, was he trying to invite me along?  Should I have been more enthused?

Then again… hanging out with him is one thing, I wouldn’t mind doing that.  But I don’t want to get into dating him while he works at the gym.  Having learned from my last relationship how crappy it is to work with someone you’ve broken up with, I figure attending the same gym after a breakup would be a similar effect.  So maybe it’s for the best… guess we’ll see what happens next.
