Decision 2008

Supposedly conflict is a natural part of life. I'm just not sure it's supposed to be as big a part of my life.
2008 is my year of anti-resolutions. I still drink, smoke, eat fast food, and don't exercise. Yet I have always wanted to do Hood To Coast. The disconnect of course is I don't run but Hood to Coast is a running relay. My department snagged one of the work sponsored walking teams for Portland to Coast, so of course there is just a little tiny bit of peer pressure to join Portland to Coast. Plus I have always thought the experience would be a once in a lifetime type thing. Hmmm, what do I do now? Well, now I'm doing the Shamrock Run 5K and probably the Starlight Run for training so I can do Portland to Coast. Guess I have to at least get off my ass long enough I don't freakin' die next month during the Shamrock.
Next conflict - to buy or not to buy? I have always had an inexplixable love of sports cars. I do not know where it came from. Certainly not my parents because my dad barely knows how to check the oil. My mom owns a hybrid and formerly drove a minivan. Not a clue where the fascination came from. I have an opportunity to buy a Camaro, very similar to the one I used to have, for a very good price. I have absolutely no place to put a second car in my one car driveway. I have no need for a second car on my 2.3 mile commute. M's dad is gonna have a shit fit and accuse me of taking him financially for everything he had. Neither of my car's will get over 15 mpg.
But on a purely emotional level, it's a fun car so I'm gonna go for it!
