The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly

If you recall, my car and I were having difficulites.

Now that I am getting ready to drive across country the mere thought of having to listen to the radio 4 days straight….TERRIFIES me.  So, I gave Hubby an ultimatum:

Me: OMG I am freaking out.

Hubby: Why?

Me: My car stereo doesn’t work, remember? I have about 5 cds stuck in there!

Hubby: Oh yea.

Me: And I am thinking 4 days worth of me, my dad and Patches in the car…will get OLD quickly without any music to be had! (Sorry dad, I know you are a scintillating conversationalist, but we both know WE NEED music!)

Hubby: So what do you want me to do about it?

Me: Buy me an iphone thing I can plug into my speakers….

Hubby: What’s in it for me?

Me: Me coming out there….OR not….your choice!

Guess what’s in the mail…

MUST.HAVE.MUSIC

 This week I went out to lunch with some friends. Somehow we got on the conversation of dancing. You know the kind, where you go out at night and a little drinking is involved.

Friend: Do you like to dance?

Me: Ummmm well, as long as liquor is involved.

Friend: What music do you like to dance to?

Me (incredulous): Are you really asking ME this question? Why…Britney of course.

Note: In the past, I have found that (for me) drinking and Britney don’t mix…as you can tell by this picture, it does SEEM to be my downfall…

PS. I have WAY worse pictures than this, but I am not dumb enough to plaster them over the internet

Back in the day...

Yes, I will fully admit it. I am one of the laziest people I know. So, when I decided I would start getting up at 4:30am (psycho) every morning to get a good parking spot ( saving money) and workout, most of my friends and family laughed at me. But, I would have laughed at myself too because I know that I am lazy. For instance, I will call Hubby to bring me a water when I am standing two feet away from the fridge because I feel like he needs to feel useful.

So, the mere fact that I have kept up with this (without making up excuses) is amazing. Really. Truly. It isn’t that I am not motivated, I just get bored easily. ( I think it is cause I am the smartest person in the world–no, really…I am)

The irony is that I think I will keep this up. I mean, besides the getting out of bed part (my pillows are so comfy AND it is dark outside), I am actually enjoying myself once I get to the exercise room. I am actually finding myself to feel energized and I am amazingly witty in the morning (yea, this is a rarity as we all know I am no morning person); I guess I should thank the endorphins. I also have new found energy and besides feeling old, barely being able to lift my arms and feeling like my legs can barely support me after I exercise….I think that I can keep this thing up.

You want to know my secret?

Britney Spears, baby. Yea, that is right….she gets me through the eliptical, bike machine, treadmill, and arm machines. I love her. So, I must dedicate my new-found passion, increase in brain power, and ability to get up in the morning to Britney.

Special Note: Thanks to Hubby for making me a mix cd of all Britney’s music.

Dear Guitar Hero,

I love you. You are a very fun game and I think I am addicted to your colorful notes. I see them everywhere! I  see color notes everytime I listen to any song on the radio. I see the color notes in my sleep. I see color notes all around me. I cannot get your songs out of my head and I love Midori and her green legwarmer socks and purple hair. I really feel that I AM Midori the Rocker!

P.S. Can you please cause my sister’s fingers to fall off, so she can stop being better than me?

Love,

A faithful fan

I guess this is what happens when you play for 5 hours straight.

So, I have a confession and while I may lose some readers after this confession, I have to be honest. But, just remember…everyone has their flaws, faithful readers and promoters (WTF and Swimming In My Head… —check is in the mail), so before you can judge me I will come clean!

I am a Britney FANATIC. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE her music. I can’t help it. And I am SO SUPER excited about her new CD (HINT HINT HUBBY)! I have been a Britney fan for longer than I can remember….her music always made me want to dance and go clubbing! I would play her everywhere…in my room, in the car, at our wedding (don’t remind hubby…he didn’t want ANY part of that) at the Yale Christmas parties (it was the only way they could get me to dance in the cage…don’t ask) and everywhere! She was my favorite and she always could make me happy! But, after awhile Britney faded from the scene and thus I lost my inner “want to dance” desire. But, lo and behold SHE IS BACK! And Stronger (no pun intended) than ever! I am so excited for this new CD and as soon as I get it will listen to it over and over and over and over.

BTW, did I mention we have a 14 hour drive to San Antonio, TX in the plans for Christmas….guess Britney can help get us there! WOO HOO. Yea, for Britney’s comeback…I have missed her so!

Secretly, I think Hubby has too!
