Serial Killers

Just like every morning, I log into I.M. (Yes IM-like old school AOL). I am talking to Ashley Payson (like usual-also part of the DFU chat we made so we can all talk at once-which gets stressful sometimes). Anyway, Ashley and I are talking about lunch and what we each brought. Ashley not only loves eating food, but loves talking about it as well. So, she sends me her latest blog post:

I read it, laugh at my desk and respond to her IM. The following IM conversation ensues....(notice the bolded comments)

Ashley Payson everyone...

Lent

So as most of you know, today is Ash Wednesday. On Monday, I contemplated giving up alcohol. I was pretty dead set on it. Then I was informed that you cannot make clauses in your lent contract. I knew I was going to Stillwater for the KU game, and then there is St. Patty's day....so I wanted to "not drink" 38 out of 40 days. Then I realized that there are some days (mainly after work) that you just really need a drink. Last night, at Cuba Libre for Taryn's birthday, I was drinking my "Cuba Libre" (a drink that is frozen rum and coke-like an adult slurpie) I thought to myself "I am really glad I am not giving up alcohol." Low and behold...I am giving up pop.

You may think I am being a wimp. But I love pop...mainly Diet Dr. Pepper. Almost more than life itself. And I don't really care for coffee. There is actually a 12-pack of Cherry DDP under my desk right now and I swear it is whispering to me... "Heather..drink me. I am so fizzy and delicious." Alas-I have managed to hold off an hour without one. However, it is all I can think about. Hence, the blog.

Just look how much that monkey is enjoying its DDP. But I suppose if Jesus can give up food, I can give up DDP.

P.S. Water is boring.

Body Pump

Ow. Ow. Ow. Ow. Ow. Ow. That would be the sound you hear from me with every step I take.

I recently relocated gyms. I am now a member of Gold's Gym instead of 24 hour. 24 hour was gross and creepy and it just stunk in general. However, my softball tee's and lezzie workout clothes fit in a little better at 24 Hour.

Monday, I took "Body Pump" for the first time with Ashley Payson. I also decided that I could lift the same amount as Ashley who has been to the class more than once. The class is a one hour high-intensity weights class that by the end of, I couldn't even hold myself up. As we were walking down the stairs after class, my legs collapsed underneath me. I thought I was going to have to slide down on my booty.

Yesterday, the day after the class, I was pretty sore. However, nothing compared to today. I am limping, I can't lift my arms above my waist and I feel like I got hit by a car. I know that means it is working and I will definitely be taking the class again, but holy cow. Ouch.

Guess Who's Back, Back Again?!?

So I get made fun of a lot for liking Disney music. So this might come as a surprise to most of you, but I love Eminem. Like I am obsessed with him. In high school, he was the only person that Vanessa and I would listen to. You can imagine us in our probe or acura jamming out on the way to our internship every day (well the days we went). We knew all the words. I distinctly remember being at a party in college and Vanessa playing Eminem on her ipod. Every song of his that came on, received a response like "O this one is so good" or "This is his best song", or even just an "O yea."

So you can imagine how excited I was last night during the Grammy's. I thought the show was pretty bad for the most part. Enter Lil' Wayne (who I was pretty sure was in jail), Drake, Travis Barker on drums and of course...EMINEM!

For those of you that missed it, it is below. (I can't figure out how to add the video)
