Hangin' with the crazies

Okay, so for the past week, I've been participating in an activity I always swore I would have nothing to do with.

I have been getting up at 5 a.m.

And GOING TO THE GYM.

That's right, people. The girl who a) maintains a short hair cut because it only requires five minutes of daily maintenance, thereby earning me that many more minutes of sleep, and b) shuns any and all makeup not because of natural beauty but out of pure laziness and lack of desire to wake up 10 minutes earlier just to apply it, has taken to working out early in the a.m. with all those other crazy people who apparently require little or no sleep.

It isn't really as bad as I thought it would be. You pretty much get your pick of the equipment, and the energy high gets me through till at least 2 p.m. every day. (Not to worry, my good friends Diet Coke and Coffee are always there to pick up the slack.) My one complaint is that the water temperature in all the shower stalls seems to be fixed at one setting: HOT. And, with our recent 100 degree temperatures during the day, a girl just wants a nice cool shower after breaking a sweat on the elliptical machine, you know? Although, if i can keep this trend going until, say, January...I'll probably be quite thankful for the scalding water. But when you leave your house at 5:15 a.m. and it's already 74 degrees out? Not so much.

You are awesome!! I should be doing the same but instead I sleep! And the weather you all are having is crazy!! I thought it was funny for awhile but I wouldnt want all that heat without our air conditioning, I told Rob that would be a requirement for any house we ever live in.
