aarrgghh
Today is National Talk Like a Pirate Day, which raises a ton of questions in my mind, at least.

Still no news…which is not a bad thing, really
It’s a great feeling when you realize that you can effect change. That your efforts can make a difference, and that you can lead people, lead a company, towards greater profitability and a good environment for people to come to work.

Reps and Sets and Rest, oh my!
I had my complimentary fitness orientation at The Lodge yesterday afternoon. A personal trainer took me around and showed me how to use the machines, which is very handy given that most of them look like medieval torture devices. “Your knees bend and your ankles hook over this bar, then you use this lever to adjust and lock the pad down to your leg. After that, line up your elbows with these red spots, resting the back of your upper arms on these pads, and grip the handle here. Now…push!” Wait, my knees go where?

Nuthin. Nada. Zip. Big goose egg.
When one has nothing to say, one should say nothing at all, yes?

Pour some sugar on me. Or not.
Eleanor Roosevelt said, “Do one thing every day that scares you.” That’s a pretty good idea, although it’s hard to figure out something new for every single day. I’m sure it’s easier when you’re the First Lady, you know, because there are lots of things you can do in the White House that would be plenty scary. Like pushing the Red Button just to see what’ll happen or taunting a Secret Service agent, stuff like that.

Oops, I did it again
Have you ever been assigned a task that you think is so ludicrous that you grudgingly do it, half-heartedly, so the final result sucks?

Random (and I do mean random) Thoughts
I heard something recently that at first made me laugh, and then made me go, “Yeah, you know, that’s kinda dead-on.”

What’s Latin for “quit thinkin’ so much already”?

My good deed for the day
I’ve heard through the grapevine that one of my girls here at the spa is trying to get pregnant and is having some issues. I know from experience that this is an intensely and deeply personal issue, so I would never, ever approach anyone about it. I won’t even ask people if they’re going to have a child because you never know if someone is trying and having trouble (there are more people out there dealing with this than you think). Having been on the receiving end of that question while struggling with infertility, and the hours of ensuing pain and tears that it causes, I know I will never, ever inflict that on anyone.

5:30 a.m.? Piece of cake!
Long weekend that was, as usual, not quite long enough. Saturday was a family reunion and getting ready for Zozo’s party, Sunday was the party, and Monday was cleaning up from the party and running a few errands. That last part culminated in the battery dying in the ZoeMobile, leaving us stranded at Kohl’s out on Manchester.
