Unmotivated

Somehow TNT knew that if they played the Lord of the Ring Trilogy today that I would sit on my couch and watch the entire thing. Even though we own the whole trilogy on DVD and it's much shorter to watch it that way since I don't have to deal with the commercials. Yet here I sit watching The Return of the King, commercials and all.

What I should be doing is writing my MBA Assignment paper on Blue Ocean strategies and reading chapters 3 and 5 for my class tomorrow. But LOTR is so much better then both those options.

I wasn't entirely useless today. This morning I got up and met my friend Suzie at Crestwood park. We let the dogs play and walked around the perimeter of the football field. It's going to become weekly thing. A nice way to transition back into running.

There was a younger couple with their toddler and dog there when we arrived. I later ran into them at the Avondale church. I went again today and enjoyed the sermon again. The pastor has a sense of humor, I like that. They had a luncheon today and while I wasn't going to stay he caught me as I was about to head out the door and convinced me otherwise. I talked to a bunch of other people that live in the neighborhood and they were are happy that I was there. One woman is already trying to sign me up to help with some of their events.

I finished the book I was reading last night and highly recommend it for anyone looking for a good read. Water for Elephants by Sara Gruen. A great read and based on the circus culture during the great depression. I think I'm going to start on the Time Travelers Wife next so I can go see the movie when it hits the dollar theater.

If anyone out there has a mac, I'm looking for a good hard case to put on the outside of my laptop. Any suggestions?
