Blog 29: DANCE!

Well this has been an interesting week in many respects. Last weekend was the first weekend in awhile where I didn't have a vast amount of stuff going on, so it was nice to relax a bit. Kitchen is finally done for the most part, only a couple small touches needed. The whole this looks very cottagy and the only think left is new counter tops so who knows when that will happen. It has been feeling really good to keep busy with physical projects. Gives me a sense of accomplishment I think I need. Work has been going okay. The way that it is set up right now is making it very easy cause they are basically doubling up on a lot of our counts, but all in all I am figuring out more tricks of the trade to make things easier to accomplish. Hopefully will be able to go for the next promotion soon though in all honesty why any one wants a promotion is beyond be, because the amount of time you spend doing the extra work required of you after the promotion is about 1/3 what you would be paid if you just worked that as overtime. But oh well, it is something to shoot for.
Aside from that I have been trying to gym it up, though I have yet to set a workout schedule and stick by it, but I do pretty good. One of my co-workers Balloon Joe coerced me into going to a Zumba Class yesterday and that was .... interesting. Bit of background, this co-worker ... pitches for the other team, and while I have no problem with that he does tend to see the world a bit differently, so he takes me to this Zumba class which I had considered going to before. Now this class, I had no expectations of it, but as it turns out it is full of older women who ROCK IT OUT. I was... surprised. Well the instructor was.. well lets just say Queen Elizabeth had nothing on him, but HE was very into it, pulling his pants up to a Thong appearance and shaking it like there was no tomorrow, no day after tomorrow and practically no day between now and next Arbor Day. And according to Joe, because we were the only two guys in the class, it was likely that he was shaking it as much as he was because he was trying to impress us men. Awkward a bit. Well, stick it out, and by stick it out I mean bear with it and no other metaphor, and it was an enjoyable class. You see, I think deep down in side, and in contrast to whatever that Nay Sayer of a wife Meg might be, if things had gone differently in my life, I'd of been a dancer. I like to dance, I really do. I want to learn how to break dance, and blackdance, and get better at swing dance. Love it! And this Zumba class was fun cause it was sort of what I crassly call black dance, sort of what you might have seen African American Frat's do at talent shows. It was good times, and I would want to learn more. This particular class though, was a bit awkward. If I could get more people I knew there, it might not be so much. But those old lady's could shake it! I have never seen so much 40+ ass look so good. Well, not I feel a bit weirded out, but onward!
Something else of interest is the relationship my work Office mate WAS in. Now, here is some details that she was un-aware of, that everyone should be aware of. It has been coined by my friend Brett, and I desire word of it to be spread around. It's called Common Law Relationship. Now you will find yourself in a Common Law Relationship if you begin to date someone and then NEVER POINT OUT THAT YOU ARE ALLOWED TO SEE OTHER PEOPLE. If you do NOT point this out, the other person under the Statute of Common Law Relationship is allowed to consider you an official Monogamous couple and start telling their friends that you are BF/GF. On deeper reflection we decided to give this the time frame of 1 month. So there you have it folks, if you do not identify the status of your relationship within a one month timeframe you have entered upon a Common Law Relationship and are now assumed BF/GF much like squatting and other incidents of assumed ownership. Long story short though, beware the Common Law Relationship timeline otherwise the other person is in for a surprise, and not the cake and candles sort, unless you cake is full of DYNAMITE!

But aside from all of that, things are well. This week is almost over. SO CLOSE! Trying to build a fence around the house to keep the rif-raf out though I have to talk to the Zoning commission. I feel all fancy, but am sure I will feel very stabby by the time I'm done with them. Woot springtime and the yardwork it brings.

Over and OUT!

Now I know I said that the Erectile Dysfunction invention from last week's blog was the best one I had ever seen, but now I'm not so sure:
