Life is so Confusing

Life is so confusing. I have time and time again thought I knew what I was supposed to do with my life but am at a crossroads once again. I feel like something is missing and I need to do something about it. My career is not what I want to be doing for the rest of my life. Working from home has started eating at my soul. I have done really well the last couple of years in my company recently getting Outstanding Team Member. But for some reason I have never felt fulfilled with my job. I have realized making good money and getting awards does not equal happiness. So that brings me to the decision should I attend graduate school to become a teacher. I have wanted to do this since I was actually in college but never did anything about it. I am going to apply to some graduate programs and see what happens. But there are pros and cons: Pros
  • Interaction with people (not just my computer)
  • Working with kids
  • Summer offs/winter break
  • Make a difference in someones live (hopefully)

Cons

  • Going back to school
  • Pay cut
  • Student debt
  • Moving home
  • No more purses :(

I wish someone would just tell me what to do. It would make my life so much easier. I guess all I can do is trust that I will make the right decision. I have to do what is best for me and not what others think I should I do. Wish me luck!!!

Running

So I have decided that I have a love/hate relationship with running. I love to run, but as soon as I have to run to train for a race I all of a sudden do not want to do it anymore. Lately I have been running more than usual and its cause I don't have to get a certain amount of miles in. So I find it somewhat enjoyable. With it being cold outside I have had to learn to like the treadmill. I am trying to get more miles in each day. So I am pulling two a days, I run 5 miles in the morning and then go back at night and do another 3 miles. I know that sounds a little extreme but I cannot do all 8 miles at the same time I would bore myself to death on the treadmill. I do have to confess if there is a trashy reality show on while I am running it does make it more enjoyable. I also have been running in Nike Frees lately. And I love them you can feel so every step you are making. I think they help with the JLo situation I have going on too. They have made me realize I have muscles that I didn't even know that I have.

My list

Lately people keep telling me you need to change what you are looking for in a boy. But I have decided I have somethings on my list that I am not willing to compromise on. This goes beyond the basics that are considered standard:
  • Must be active (they don't need to run marathons but need to be able to do activities without getting winded)
  • Have to be taller than 5'9"
  • Have to weigh more than me
  • Has to have a job or goals to how they are going to get one
  • Has to love my family, cause lets be honest I am a little obsessed with them
  • Good teeth (its a hygiene thing for me)
  • Has to worship me ;)
  • Has to let me sing, dance and be corky

My list doesn't seem so unrealistic. I am have given up somethings like:

  • Makes millions
  • Looks like Ryan Reynolds
  • Can run marathons
  • Drives a super nice car
  • Can cook (I am fine with cereal)
