Ok.............so my co-worker, Chris, who happens to be one of my best friends ………….she told me she was gonna walk across the street to a garage sale on our lunch, and asked me if I wanted to join her………….I said, “Sure” and out the door we went…………….
.........well lets just say that I should've known something was fishy, 'cause she's always trying to get me to exercise with her.....................
...................well, needless to say, the garage sale happened to be ACROSS TOWN..(not across the street)………........(which she neglected to mention, of course)…................ssurrrrprissssse..............(probably cause she knew I wouldn’t go with her........if I thought it would require any physical exercise on my part)...................
..............while walking, we chit-chatted to a 'little old man' - (who I think must have been 100 years old - by the looks of him).... who happened to be out in his yard as we walked by, and made a point of going out of his way to gain our attention by grabbing his suspenders, snapping them, and trotting over to try to strike up a conversation..........I think he was 'HOT' for me...................(I'm just saying.......)
.........THEN my friend, Chris, tricked me and made me continue walking to the bank with her……..…(she told me we were going for ice cream)…….(well.................does it surprise you that we didn’t go for ice cream? In fact – I don't think we were even close to a place that sold ice cream ………hellllooooooo……what was I thinking? I should've known better than to trust her !)
........so needless to say – about 40 minutes later, here we are, back in the office……I’m out of breath, cause I’m pathetically out of shape, my feet are throbbing, cause I’m in FLIP-FLOPS (not tennis shoes)……..’thanks, Chris’, by the way………..I have shin splints again – (yes, I can already feel them coming on)………….I’ve got a headache from squinting in the sun…………I not only stink and am sweating profusely from my armpits…….but my cute little hairdo I was sportin’ today is in great need of a new ‘re-vamping’………….
On the 'pro – side' of all this……I DID end up walking about 40 minutes on my lunch, so basically I got QUITE the exercise today (which I'm in great need of, actually).......(exercise, that is.........).............and since I ALSO walked 20 minutes on my gazelle this morning at 5:30AM before I left for work...let's see……………..what is that? About 60 minutes of exercise today …………..OMLord…..that’s more exercise then I’ve had in ONE day in a long time! So I guess I don’t HATE Chris anymore!

(Just so you know...........)
Woo hoo! Did you get anything at the garage sale?
ReplyDeleteThis reminds me of when my mother tried to teach me to swim by backing up in the pool. It kinda pissed me off but I learned how to swim so I guess I can't be that mad. Found you by way of CCWA and had to say "hi" because we have the SAME EXACT NAME!
ReplyDeleteHeck NO, Mami.....The garage sale happened to be a BUST! (So that made it SUCK even more!) :):)
