Tortilla Chips Lament

It was cold and windy outside today on my walk  I went backwards on my route, just to mix it up a bit, I walked on the other side of the road.  It was a nice walk under blue skies and sunshine and, as always, I was looking to get paid.  I did not even see a penny.  I see many interesting things on my walks and today it was a busted styrofoam container of salsa, tossed to the side of the road and splattered all across the sidewalk.  How could someone do that?  Salsa does not go bad, so they did not toss it out because it was rotten.  My concern is for the poor tortilla chips that now have to be eaten dry and without their best friend salsa.  Who would do such a terrible thing? Why would you eat chips and salsa while driving or maybe strolling down the sidewalk, and who would you eat tortilla chips without salsa?!? They were meant to be together, the wet compliments the dry, the red looks great with the yellow, the salty pairs with the spicy.....I am starting to feel a little hungry now, time for breakfast!

Wednesdays Stink

Every sport has its dangers.  Walking has dangers...you may be thinking about it right now and asking yourself..."walking has dangers?, what dangers?, should I go walking if its dangerous?"  Let me just say, Wednesdays are especially dangerous.  You should be warned of the dangers, so, let me educate you.  The following are dangers, seven days a week, twenty four hours a day.  Sprinklers, barking dogs (you never can be sure the fence will hold them back), cars turning into driveways, and driving crazy fast through neighborhoods and around corners, and the worst of all....loogies on the sidewalk.  But, Wednesdays, in my neighborhood are especially dangerous.  Wednesday is trash day and it stinks.  Not only do you have to walk by everybodys stinky trash cans, recycle bins, and rotting grass clippings, but then there is the trash collectors truck stirring it all up into a unique aroma.  I hate to admit this, but, Dooit Later might be invited in on Wednesdays.

Bits and Pieces

I exercised today in bits and pieces.  I got up this morning, at 7 am, and it was cold outside.  I told myself "I'll walk later when it warms up."  Of course, as the day progresses, you find yourself in the mode to get all the errands done, house cleaned, and dinner made, before you know it the sun is setting and it gets cold outside.  I did manage to get 8 minute abs in during house cleaning, and 15 minutes of a new cardio dvd while the soup for dinner simmered.  I got on the stationary bike tonite to finish out my time of AT LEAST 30 minutes and when I was done I felt good that I "got er done" if only in bits and pieces.

Seriously

I served an eviction notice on Bootyville and Tummy Town 15 days ago and I don't think they are taking me seriously.  I know Bootyville inhabitants are not listening because this morning on my walk my arms are still hitting land mass.  I think Tummy Town has decreased population by a little, my jeans are a little less stressed.  I also wanted you to know I got paid again today, I found a penny and then a quarter!  That makes the total  $1.37, oh, and I also saw a dead snake in the road.  I told you I see interesting things on my walks around the neighborhood!

Un-Welcomed Guest

Yesterday I told you about someone new that I met named Dooit Later.  It seems that Dooit Later came to visit for the weekend and I hope she is gone by Monday.  Dooit Later was not invited, nor did she ask to visit, and if I had my choice she would not be invited back.  Do I have a choice?  I think Dooit Later is even more evil than Don't.  I did go for a walk but, the sun had gone down, and it was cold, but my sister and I went for a walk around Liberty Lake.  It seems when  there is a schedule to keep Dooit Later is nowhere to be found.

I Met Someone Today...

Today, I discovered Dooit has an evil twin named, Dooit Later.  And Dooit Later convinced us this morning we had plenty of time today to fit 30 minutes of exercise in.  Well, I finally fit it in, at 9:00 pm I climbed on the resurrected stationary bike and watched the movie, "Gone in 60 Seconds".   Watching a movie made the time go by easier.  I got it done, just barely, and tomorrow I get to do it again, YEAH!...that excitement was gone in less than 60 seconds...

Bickering Selves

As soon as the eyes open in the morning the bickering starts.  My eyes are pretty happy to see daylight and my body is happy and peacefully comfortable in it's soft, warm, comfy spot in the bed, but it annoys us all when the "selves" start up about whether to exercise now or fit it in later.  My husband laughed this morning as he could see there was a situation going on, because I was not moving out of bed, "which one is winning", he said,  "Dooit" or "Don't".  Dooit won.
