This is an email I sent to a few of my friends regarding my attempts to work out. And lest I be taken to task for slamming blondes, let me assure one and all that I am referring exclusively to myself!

Why Blondes Don't Work Out More


*Friday carefully packs her workout gear into her gym bag: lock, sweat pants and T-shirt, socks, sneakers, water bottle*

*rummages amonst odds and ends until she finds her gym id, then carefully places said ID in plastic protector and attaches unit to her key ring*

*proudly places gear in trunk of car and goes to work*

*finishes work, gathers wallet, coffee cup and briefcase and heads for car*

*gets to car, returns to office for car keys*

*finds keys in bottom of desk drawer and returns to car*

*drives to gym*

*opens trunk and looks at lock attached to gymbag*

*wonders what the combination is*

*tries old phone numbers for 5 minutes until lock opens*

*puts lock in her wallet so she won't lose it, gathers essentials and heads into gym*

*happily presents gym membership card that she made a special point of remembering and goes to locker room*

*tosses gym clothes on bench and removes favorite kelly-green suede loafers*

*looks at pile of clothing and notices she's forgotten her towel*

*considers paying $3 for gym towel but decides against it*

*looks at pile of clothing in gym bag and wonders where lock is*

*searches in pile for lock but does not find it*

*puts on favorite kelly green suede loafers and goes back to car, taking water bottle and gym bag with her*

*opens car, tosses gym bag and water bottle on passenger seat and searches for lock*

*searches some more, finally noticing that her wallet has an odd-shaped bulge*

*opens wallet and finds lock she put there less than 10 minutes ago*

*gathers gym bag, wallet and ID and returns to gym*

*shows gym ID that she specifically remembered to bring and returns to locker room*

*tosses clothing on bench, noticing that it sounded much louder last time she did that*

*looks for water bottle*

*returns to car for water bottle*

*returns to gym and shows gym ID that she specifically remembered to bring. Wonders if staff knows her name yet....*

*throws clothing and water bottle on bench*

*removes favorite kelly green suede loafers and puts them in locker*

*removes jeans and sits on bench to put socks on*

*notices that black dye from inside favorite kelly green suede laofers has stained the soles of her feet deep black and wonders if it will come off on her socks*

*puts socks on anyways*

*puts on left sneaker and ties it*

*puts on right sneaker and as she ties it, notices sweatpants sitting on bench*

sigh!!

Cheers,

Friday

That sounds just like me ((SIGH)) except I usually get to the gym and realize I forgot my shorts, or realize after working out and while I am getting dressed for work that I forgot my bra/shirt/pants or some other really important item and my house is too far from the gym to get back to! Or how 'bout the time I didn't zip my gym bag and my work clothes fell out into a puddle in the rain and I didn't realize it until an hour later when I came back to get dressed!

Thank you for a moment to laugh again.. you should have seen me this morning! All it took was the fire alarm going off in my apartment building (30 families) at 6:45am. (15 min before buses pick up the kids) Can you say insaine?

My daughter was getting out of the shower, my son was struggling with pants (teens) my roommate who is mostly deaf had to be woken. Had to find the cats, find my daughter who disappeared under the bed to get stuff.
My son was trying to grab his cat... my roommate was still screaming "What?! What?!"

Ps no fire

LOL on the Easter Eggs. The first Easter after we moved into this house, we hid a dozen plastic eggs in the backyard for the baby to find. He found 13!!

Cheers,

Friday
