Member Appreciation Day

Wednesday was Member Appreciation Day at our gym.  We have been members since 2008, so it is safe to say, we should be appreciated. Well, Lauren did not get the appreciation she wanted/deserved. So of course it was the topic of our early morning email conversation...

Lauren to Wesley :
Subject: Wednesday

Im so snoozy.  Im going to have to go have a tea party before my interview at 10:30 am.  I am pissed about the coffee.  I am a valued customer and there is no reason all the coffee should be gone by 8:40.

Like any good husband, I wrote an email expressing my frustration that my wife was not properly taken care of.  Preface: For whatever reason, our gym likes to serve very unhealthy breakfast food on member appreciation day.....

Dear Vida,

It would be appreciated if on Member Appreciation Day, you would have enough coffee for those who like to be appreciated. Also, it is a bit of an oxymoron to serve creme filled danishes, muffin, croissants, and bagels at a GYM Appreciation Day.  You should know that is takes 20 minutes of intense running to burn off one croissant, so after getting up at the ass-crack of dawn, sweating my butt off to burn a few cals, why the HELL would you think I would want any of those options. You are promoting a "healthy lifestyle", yet serve items that Trainer Bob says should never be on your daily menu. Come on now. Wake up. Maybe if you would have had more coffee, you would have been able to wake up and realize your stupidity.

Unregards,

An Unappreciated Member's Husband

P.S. I really didnt send this, but should have.

Marlene

Sunday funday. Lo and I woke up this beautiful Sunday morning, walked to Starbucks to grab a drink, and then home for some lovely homemade blueberry wheat pancakes.

Last night, we had dinner with some friends before they move back to London. We were shown a video that I have posted below, and I honestly believe the person who made the it kept Marlene for a few weeks. The cat in the video acts EXACTLY like our UK kitty (except for the ending..you will understand after you see it).

Enjoy the day. Lo has some major posts to write very soon.

In Spirits with the Upcoming Election

A funny from MS Mom. Thanks for the early Monday morning laugh. Oh how funny political jokes have become, now that I work at the mecca of the political world.

An elderly man suffered a massive heart attack. The family drove wildly to get him to the emergency room.

After what seemed like a very long wait, the ER doctor appeared wearing his scrubs and a long face.

Sadly, he said,
"I'm afraid Grandpa is brain-dead, but his heart is still beating."

"Oh, Dear God," cried his wife,
Her hands clasped against her cheeks with shock.

"We've never had a Democrat in the family before!"

Sometimes You Feel like a Nut; Sometimes You Don't

After the Friday I have, I can totally relate to both parties involved in the video below.

The Narrator:

• I believe somethings are better than they really are.
• I am constantly asking, yet getting nothing in return.
• Talking, but no one is listening.
• Love my animal, yet hate it at the same time.
• Constantly make excuses to cover the truth
  

Jobey

• Sometimes, I just do not want to listen to anyone.
• I hear ya, but it's going in one ear and out the other.
• I, like Jobey, need to meditate sometimes.
• Ocean water feels good on my feet too.
• Sometimes, you just gotta shit in the water to get your point across.
• Its my ball. Its my shit. Common denominator, its mine. Not yours. Don't judge me.

Sometimes you feel like the helpless owner. Sometimes you feel like a shitty dog. Until next time.....

Kids Say (or Write) the Darndest Things

Recently, I was reading the Huffington Post, when I was directed to an article about the strange/funny things children write when given the freedom to do as they wish. Below are some examples the childrens' inner thoughts. Why can't adults be this honest?

Funny Email from T

A very gentile Southern lady was driving across the Savannah River Bridge in Georgia one day. As she neared the top of the bridge, she noticed a young man fixing (ready) to jump.

She stopped her car, rolled down the window and said, "Please don't jump, think of your dear mother and father."
He replied, "Mom and Dad are both dead; I'm going to jump."

She said, "Well, think of your wife and children." He replied, "I'm not married and I don't have any kids."

She said, "Well, think of Robert E. Lee."
He replied, ''Who's Robert E. Lee?''
She replied, ''Well bless your heart, just go ahead and jump, you dumb ass Yankee."

I like to bob my head to this

And sip my whiskey to this

And this is what I told Lo when I first met her....Guess I lost that battle.......

But I think we both won in the end...and now dance alone in the confort of our home to songs like the above. And you should see our moves.
They're on fire.

The Handsome Men's Club

So Jackson sent this to me and I was dying laughing the whole time. I think I partially loved it because of all the handsome men........ oh well. Enjoy! Love, lo (obviously.....)
