My Pink Shoelace

David and I were talking once about what nots and came across the credit card subject. I have two and am not sure how many he has but we’re in agreement that its better to stop using them and just pay off the remaining balance to regain a larger credit amount so we can purchase whatever we might want. Right now though I think he’s credit limit is not that much yet seeing that he’s gf keeps on using it to buy a couple of blouses ever now and then. But being a guy he wants to have his own home theater, like the picture above. While I on the other hand would be happy with a brandnew pink Sony Vaio.

I’ve been going to the gym for the past three days consecutively and in the course of going there I’ve met TJ (a friend, former mentor and colleague) and we’ve talked a good deal about school, career and future plans as far as where our course would take us. He’s working in a SPED learning center and fully utilizing his license as a professional teacher unlike me who just let my license rot in my wallet. Talking to him made me feel empty and and I realized this guy has experienced more than I have when I became a licensed teacher way ahead of him and now he’s fully using what we’ve learned in our masteral course while I on the other hand continue to rot mentally, physically and emotionally. *sigh*

He asked me why am still not leaving the company am with now and start teaching, I told him I dunno … fear of the unknown perhaps? Not knowing what awaits me in the teaching world. He said, you gotta sort things out in your time before its too late. Yeah yeah I know … and I will but not now. Right after work earlier I went straight to the gym and was doing my walks on the treadmill when this guy who was also on the treadmill right beside mine approached me right when I was done and said with a smile on his face that I strut and somehow made the treadmill my runway. I was flabbergasted, and totally lost all command of speech, I stared at him face  blank, he smiled and left.

Lesson learned: Use the treadmill on the farthest corner. Grrrr… Of all things to say … he had to tell me I strut.
