What to Write???

I took my dog for a run this afternoon (yes in the wind!) and all the while I was trying to think about what I was going to write in this blog.  I thought it would be nice to have a blog about a certain topic, kind of like John in "Marley and Me" who always wrote in some way or another about Marley.  I do have a black lab...but she's pretty boring as far as dogs go.  The other thing I was thinking about as I was running against the wind was how crazy I had to be.  Why in the heck was I out here????  It's because things are different once you hit 36.  One of my students was laughing at the fact that I looked like a 17 year old from behind.  Well that's all fine and dandy, but what does that mean I look like from the front?  I always took youth for granted, I guess, or at least I never really gave it much thought until I turned 36.  I think that's why I like working with teenagers, they keep me young at heart, up to date, and teach me things that prepare me for the 14 year old that I have at home!  But...that doesn't help with laugh lines.  Running outside in the wind with my dog to stay in shape doesn't help with laugh lines either, although it does make me feel better.  There's something about turning 36 that made me start spending a bunch of money on face and eye cream, too, something I would have never done before.   And buying "In Style" magazine!  Isn't it a little too late for that now?  Does the saying "better late than never" apply?  Oh, this is a good one - I started paying A LOT of money for a pair of jeans.  I never did THAT until I turned 36, either.  I do try to use a 20% off coupon whenever I have one :)
