Shpring Shlump
i’m in a slump. a pre-spring break slump. i’m soooo tired and lazy and i don’t want to think or read or grade or think. wait, i already said that. ugh.
my lethargy is oozing out of my pores and is making knots in my nose hair.
i’m too lazy to laugh at my own joke. how sad.
this warm/cold/wet/cold/sunny/cloudy bi-polar weather is starting to wear on me. i want it warm and i want it now. i want to shake off winter with one last flick and get on with my life. i want to wear shorts and sandals. i want to shave the matted layer of hair off of my legs. i want to take the plastic off of my windows. i want to peel off a layer of clothes when i go for a walk. and i want to order an iced chai at the coffee shop, not a hot chocolate.
mostly, i want to get out and be active. my post-baby, post-thirty physique is also starting to wear on me. i’ve had to stop shamefully stuffing myself into the pants i no longer fit. i have a few that i’ll be donating to the big red box soon. the whole gut hanging over the cinched waist look is not one that i want to embrace. *sigh* unfortunately, this means i actually have to get off of my arse and do something. unfortunately, the possibilities are endless.
hunky personal trainer named jake? tony veteod that one. a membership to the y? nope; won’t happen until summer. in the meantime, i’ll have to make do with eating right (just in time for my girl scout cookies to arrive) and whatever i can do around here. i actually enjoy being active and exercising, it’s just that i’m like most people and make up reasons to distract myself. much like with my blog. when i post, i remember all the reasons i like it: it’s fun, a chance to be creative, i can laugh at my own jokes, i know i can count on at least my dad commenting, and i enjoy writing. same thing with excercising. it can be fun, a chance to be sweaty, i can laugh at my own jokes, i know i can count on at least tony commenting, and i enjoy it.
which ends my pep talk. i need to get going and do some sit ups and push ups.
right after i have a thin mint.

Dawn Dawn, excersising, please! I havent excersised in years and look at me. You could do the same, so what if your belly hangs a little, at least you can honestly say I look like my dad : )

Exercising? This is what I want to read about? I was hoping that I would see SOMETHING about Ella’s first birthday.

Where can I read about Ella’s first birthday? I do NOT want to read about my sister’s (sickening-post-thirty-mother-of-one-oh-so-tiny) body and her FAT-ness ha ha.
