A word of advice....

Ladies, you'll feel me on this one.

If you're running to the gym at the crack of dawn, make sure that you pull normal tights out of your underwear drawer and not Spanx.

Ouch.

Happy New Year, one and all!

Fun Facts! About Me!

At the folky festival this year, I saw a meditation maze (like the one they painted on the gym floor in "Oz" but more earthy). It didn't relax me. It made me anxious and irritated. I ended up, in a very unzenlike way, hopping over the 'walls' and bugging out of it.

Fun Fact #421: Meditation mazes give me anxiety.

You know what's kind of relaxing? Curling 10 pound free weights.

Fun Fact #427: My butt hurts.
