what you can learn in the locker room

is amazing. in just one short get ready session in my gym's locker room i learned:

* ladies love line dancing- there was quite an uproar over the cancellation of the line dancing class for Nov/Dec. they didn't know what they would do with themselves until it resumed in january.

* dancing with the stars SHOCKED america- it was utter disbelief that the cheetah girl was voted off. as new ones came into the locker room the conversation began again (and again and again and again) but clearly that cheetah girls (whose name no one could recall) should have won the whole thing. in fact there was discussion of a boycott.

* i will plan my senior years carefully- so i am not a part of this crowd.

* st joe needs a national gym franchise- that was my conclusion. given the discussion and the fact that i was the youngest in the locker room by maybe 30 years, i think we need a new health club. i should have known when i signed up at alice's energy club and alice is 60 that i was probably a fish out of water. there is freedom in working out where you still have one of the higher racks and booties so i am thankful for that.

celebrating

the end of halloween. this is a nightmare for parents; especially parents of 4 small ones. they are all old enough now to know the game and they are super opinionated about their costumes, accessories etc... no home-made costumes--no sir. we are into all the commercial characters complete with hair dye to ensure we look EXACTLY like our character. praise the lord that is over! i heard jerry seinfeld say today that is it; he is not doing it anymore. i am on that wagon!
