the great thing about it (finally) starting to get cold out, is that no one ever goes to the gym because they don't want to go out in the cold to get there. tonight, it was honestly dead...and i was loving it! practically had the place to myself for an hour...granted it was also 8:30 on a sunday night so it's typically a smaller crowd anyway, but the cold weather was definitely contributing to the lack of people!

so the big news in morgantown today...

Coach Rodriguez is leaving to go to michigan. that school just snagged wvu's basketball coach a few months ago, and now it's taking the football coach. is there something in the water over there or what's going on? (ah, it's probably money i'm sure). i was reading some of the comments online about how people are feeling about it and everyone is pissed at him big time....actually, you'd think the man just killed 100 babies by the way everyone's reacting to this. as they say, this too shall pass...the sun will rise in the morning and football will still be played at wvu whether rod is there or not. i think he handled the whole situation pretty poorly, but what's done is done. it's a good thing the wvu students are on christmas break right now or there would be some serious hell raising going on i'm sure!

i did manage to make it to the mall do so some christmas shopping today. sadly, the only thing i bought were two books...for me! lol i have been doing more reading lately and i forgot how much i love it. i just finished "The Choice" by nicholas sparks (amazing...i read it in about two days), "Dispatch from the Edge" which is CNN's Anderson Cooper writing about his life and career (actually, that was the second time i read it), and today i bought "My Hands Came Away Red" by Lisa McKay which is a christian fiction novel and also "Perfect Match" by Jodi Picoult....i think i'm really going to like her books a lot because they seem to be somewhat similar to the types of books John Grisham writes (which i LOVE). im excited that i've started reading more again!

i'm hoping this will be an easy week for work because i want to just ride it out until i leave on saturday for florida for nine days vacation! :)
