Why do I feel like everything is in slow motion today? I feel like my hands are going in slow motion as I type this. What gives? Kinda weird.
I promise I didn't take anything... no cough medicine... no allergy - er wait, I took my zyrtec, does that count? I haven't been taking it regularly... mabye it is affecting me...?

Lol, I think I'm going to have to wake up before I go to the gym tonight or that could be pretty weird.

Winking
I believe winking has to be done at the right time and for the right situation - otherwise it's just awkward. The right situations are, for example, when your mother is playing a joke on your father and she winks at you to indicate that she is pulling the wool over his eyes. Or when it is a big day and you are really nervous and your father winks to let you know that everything will be ok. When your brother knows something only the two of you know and he winks as if to say... yeah i know....
When people wink at me when there's no joke, no big day, no brotherly knowledge, it makes me feel uncomfortable. I sit there trying to figure out what they meant by it. Did they wink because it's a nice day? Did they wink because they thought I looked nice. Did they wink because they know something more than I am seeing? What in the world did they mean? I might even look at them a few times indicating...tell me why you just winked at me... then they smile and it makes me even more uncomfortable. Ugh... Was he flirting and now I'm playing into it by looking at him? Was she trying to tell me something and then the moment passed and so now she's smiling it off? AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!
Maybe there are other reasons to wink at people and I just don't know them... I guess for now I'll just take them as a smile... then I won't have to wonder myself sick. LOL.

Exercise Shmexercise!
Why is it that the idea of running excites me but when I actually get home and put on my gym clothes... I feel like a sloth!?
The idea of jump roping until I pass out makes me feel thinner, but when I go to jump rope, there never seems to be a good place to do it. There's no room, it's raining...
When I go to the gym, the treadmills and elipticals are all taken. I weightlift while I wait. When I see someone get off the machine, another person slips on before I can get over there to claim the machine.
I run around the yard with my dog and then I trip in a pothole. The next time we go out I just watch her run.
I promise my pup that we will go running... I have a headache... my stomach hurts... there's always a reason not to go...
I think I lost my motivation... If anyone sees it....... I need it back..... I think.....

Bathroom Talk
I just feel like sharing this...
At work we have a ladies bathroom with 3 stalls. They are rather small stalls that you have to turn sideways to fit into (and I'm fairly thin). The middle stall, forget it. You can enter the stall fine without problems, but for some reason you can't exit the stall without getting stuck. I think it is because the toilet paper dispenser is on the same side as the door opening. Why did they do that?! So, to get out of the darn thing you have to step back and sort of straddle the toilet bowl between your legs so you can pull the door in enough to get out. My predicament is this: Hardly anyone uses the middle stall... thusly it's the best option for me because it is -in theory- cleaner than the other toilets. BUT, when I use that toilet there is the possibility that someone could come into the bathroom while I am in the middle stall and their only option is to use one of the stalls right next to me. I generally like my space and having an empty stall beside me is my preference. Does clean trump privacy? Remember though, these stalls are SMALL! I probably wouldn't want to stand that close to someone I was talking to....
LOL!

Food Habits
I don't know about anyone else, but when I decide I like something (foodwise) I eat it for a while. I will eat that thing everyday for a month, two months, maybe even a year. Then all of a sudden, I've eaten too much of that food and sooner or later I get to the point where I can't even look at that food without feeling sick to my stomach. I will feel this way for months and then after a while that feeling will start to go away and the food will look enticing to me again. Why does this happen? Weirdness.....
some examples are:
popcorn
cottage cheese
peanut butter sandwiches
poptarts
different types of cereal
oatmeal
cheese
bagels with cream cheese
ramen noodles

Mama Disapproves
An acquaintance of mine just got engaged. Before proposing, he went to her parents to ask permission for her hand in marriage. Dad said yes, mom said no.
If this were back in the 50s, I'm sure that would not be a problem...what dad says goes. But today, what do you do? What if her mother refuses to go to her wedding? What if her boyfriend decides that he needs everyone to be in full support? Does it matter what her mother thinks if my friend is happy and in love? Will her mother's voice constantly be in the back of her head telling her that this is a bad decision?
The gesture of asking permission seems a bit outdated to me. I find it romantic and an extremely nice gesture, but with how society is today...it just doesn't seem to fit. When women are becoming more independent and living on their own and doing things for themselves...it just seems so odd for a man to have to ask for a woman's hand in marriage. It seems that the woman is independent enough to give herself away. Don't get me wrong, I understand the sentimental value of it all. I just don't understand what you do when you are fully independent and capable and a parent says no. They are still your parents, but you've been making other decisions for yourself... ??? This one has me frazzled.
