Pilates Schmilates

It's no secret that I loathe working out. Nothing about it invigorates me. Everything about it makes me hate my body. So twisted and ass-backwards, right?

However, tonight, at a mat pilates class, in the midst of wanting to amputate every limb of my body, I had to fight back the incredible urge to bust out laughing. "Why?" you may ask. Well here's my current facebook status:

Dear Girl Behind Me in Pilates Class,
Just a thought, but you may want to consider taking a gas-x or two before class next time.
Best regards,
Me

Yes folks, I had a compulsive flatulator (just made up a word) behind me. It was so bad that at one point when we were on our backs and legs in table top position, every contraction of our abdomen that we made, a little fart would sneak out behind me.

At least it made me hate the hour session a little less.


And in completely unrelated news, Mel Gibson claims to be a Catholic. His anti-Semitic rant a few years back made me question this. His recent morphing into a women beating, racist bigot makes me realize he is no more Catholic than those perverted priests that are (all too often) in the news. He's a disgrace to Catholicism, to America, and to man-kind.

HAHA, I really couldn't keep that to myself. I must say, I would say something to her, or just laugh quietly. Or not so quietly, maybe she might figure it out! hehe. Anywho, hope you were gassed out of there too soon. And I agree aout Mel Gibson, who does he think he is? Obiously someone, something he truly isn't. He needs to just go away, by hisself peace out, and in esscence Grow Up. :) Great post, too funny!

I don't know how you didn't burst into laughter - I would have been in hysterics! What can I say, I have a very immature sense of humor.

I tried a yoga class one time with a friend and we had a lady in our class that kept letting out really deadly farts and just did not care. Everyone slowly moved their mats away from her, which was funny to watch all in itself. I think we got a better ab workout from trying to contain our laughter than from yoga that night!

I saw your 'Facebook' status and I "liked" it. Too funny! Were the farts loud? Could you hear them? SO funny!!!

Hahaha! Let me tell you what's worse than that. Get about 20 pregnant women together to do Yoga. Now that ends in some pretty heavy flatulence. Wow!


Yeah, I grew up Catholic, and we do not need any more bad publicity then we already have. Mel Gibson is a disgrace!

Just Popping In

I didn't intend to skip out for the past (almost) week, &, as a matter of fact, I actually HAD things to blog about (shocking, I know), but the end of last week was pure chaos and time did not allow for much of anything other than work/appointments/errands/getting ahead on school work/playing mom to three kids all weekend. And all of that running around & time spent with kids has left me with a terrible cold, intense nausea, and sleep deprevation. However, my flight leaves at 7:05 tomorrow morning & by 2 EST, I'll be in beautiful St Thomas with another friend visiting one of my favorite people in the world & for that, I am beyond grateful. Catch y'all in a week or so! Aloha. Or whatever the Caribbean equivalent of goodbye is.

Random Facts about Me You Probably Don't Care to Know.

Brown Eyed Girl Jenn did this post earlier today and I thought it was fun, I haven't done a meme in ages, and I have a handful of new followers who may like to know useless information about me, so I figured what the heck? Might as well steal it. Thanks, Jenn! The ABCs of yours truly! A. Age -- 23. I'll be 24 on May 20th (I love surprises in the mail, hint hint ;)) and some days I can't believe I'm that old, while others, I can't believe I'm that young. B. Bed size -- Queen and it's the most heavenly thing in the world, which is great, but also bad, because it is nearly impossible to pull myself out of bed every morning... or afternoon. C. Chore you dislike -- Cleaning the shower would probably be my least favorite. I have a shower/tub combo and I really just hate getting on my hands and knees and scrubbing the bejeezus out of the thing. Plus, I feel like I smell like Clorox for the next 3 showers. D. Dogs -- I have two fur babies, you can read about them ...

Fickle White Goes on a Date

Image
Doesn't that sound like a book title? Perhaps I should start a series, "Adventures of The Fickle White Woman." What do you think? Sound like a good plan? Maybe I should just make it blog series... "Fickle White, RN," "Fickle White Buys a Bachelorette Pad," "Fickle White Is Not On Crack, Just Crazy..." Hmm. I'm kind of liking this idea. By the way, is it pathetic that I was super excited about this date just so I could blog about it? Yea, that's what I thought. ANYWAY... Yes, folks, I finally have gone on a date. A match.com date. Lord help us all. I joined match.com a little over a month ago when one of my very favorite friends told me she's doing it and has been on a lot of dates (Hi friend! I won't call you out ;)). After a failed go at eharmony, I decided to give the competition a try. In college (and maybe even high school-- perhaps I had a premonition about the lack of dating experience I would have?) I always said, ...
