You know, I must admit this, the thought of going to New Orleans during Mardi Gras kind of scares me. I love visiting N’ awlins any other time. I love the rich history, the beautiful architecture and the wonderful food. But since I typically am not much of a party gal, I am not sure how things will go there. I know, I know, you’re saying, “what about the bowling shoe incident??”, well that was one incident in my whole 43 years, so that doesn’t count, oh, and I guess there was one other time but we don’t need to discuss that one.

I do tend to open up more, and have been told that I can be pretty funny when I am drinking, but, Mardi Gras, it kind of frightens me. So I am hoping that all of you, my New Orleans teammates, will help me while I am there. Make sure I don’t lose track of my drinks, make sure I don’t say something stupid, and make sure I don’t get lost. I am counting on all of you! I’ll do the same for you ok?

Poem of the day~

Don’t let me get lost
In the party and crowd

Tell me when you think
That I’m getting too loud

Make sure I don’t touch
Anything strong

Those types of drinks and I
Just don’t get along

Don’t want any beads!
I’m much more mild

I don’t want to see myself
On Grandma’s gone wild

Believe me, that would not be a pretty picture! (think of that picture on Adolph’s blog)

Goals/Accomplishments~

So instead of yoga last night, I decided to go visit, yes, the treadmill. I was worried about how he would treat me since I have not seen him in about a week. You know, variety and all that. Well, when I got to the gym, someone else was visiting my treadmill. So I found a lone one, sitting all by himself in the corner. I decided to give him a whirl. You know, he was so different than the other treadmill. He kept telling me what a great job I was doing, things like “you go girl” and c’mon, you can do it” and things like that. He even commented on how much he loved my workout outfit, “Girl, that is soooo gorgeous, where did you get that?” It was nice, we talked about where I have my nails done. He even noticed that my toes were done too. Mr. Treadmill never commented on things like that, I really like this new treadmill. So, new treadmill and I had some nice conversations while I worked out. Really made the time pass quickly. I like New Treadmill, I think I will use him from now on, we had allot more in common. And guess what I was finally able to accomplish, I walked 4.02 miles on the treadmill!! Finally! Tonight is water aerobics.
