Okay so today is a garden variety day- so to speak. I started out blogging on the travel side but realized that I need my pictures and all my notes in order to get through it. That's frustating because I've only completed part one. I still have so much to say on the matter. But anyhoo...I was getting involved in this entry when along came a spider that sat down besider her...
Did I get to finish this entry? Uh...no. Note to self- never bring your netbook into work thinking that you'll be able to blog during your lunch hour. Ain't gonna happen! Someone will always come by innocently thinking that you have time to talk. Speaking of talking during lunch - why don't they add celery seeds to chicken salad anymore? This has got to be the blandest chicken salad in all of creation.
Speaking of creation...I may have put my foot in my mouth today. I started having a conversation with someone during our health fair (about weight loss and eating habits) and this person's responses caused me to raise my eyebrows. It seemed that he was "conscious" the way that he spoke about food the habits and the like. Then he went off on a bit of a tangent and started intermingling religion and I was like...uh oh. So there will be more to blog about on that front in the days and weeks to come. I may never get back to my travel blog (yikes!).
So the Health Fair was pretty good. They had a few good vendors there, namely the Vienna Health Improvement Center. It's supposed to help you find out why you're not releasing weight when you've tried everything. And it's an all natural approach. No meds. I'm intrigued by that so...that is the only brochure I'll be keeping. The rest will most assuredly go into the trash before days end.
Why do we do that? We go to these "things" and we act like we're sooo interested in what they have to say about "whatever" and we take their cards, pamphlets and fact sheets- knowing damn well that we're not gonna read it and that we're gonna throw it slam in the trash the first chance we get.
You know? We would save them a ton of money if we just made a conscious effort to not take the literature. Just saying "no thank you" would go a long way, and might just be the equivalent of saving one tree over a lifetime. I think we do it to try and mask our disinterest. They can tell when we walk up that it's all a bust. Killing time...before lunch. I mean really? Once I got the bookmark on Lupus then read the symptoms on Ovarian Cancer I was like- these are practically one in the same (with a few specific symptoms). No wonder people are misdiagnosed and they tell you to see a specialist. Yikes!
Okay - I have just finished the worst Chicken Salad sandwich in the world. Not one piece of celery in it I tell ya...not one. Too much mayo and to top it off I bought pretzels instead of chips so you KNOW I'm ticked! I didn't even have the benefit of enjoying a side order of chips. That really bites. I should just warm up my coffee from earlier (Grande Soy Misto from 'bucks) and wait out the digestion of the thing.
Tonight is Bikram Hot Yoga night and I can hardly wait. I'm totally ready to have my ass kicked by the instructor. I haven't been in a while so I'm hoping to see him there. The class wouldn't be the same without him. He's a powerhouse. If you've never experienced a hot yoga class allow me: You're in a 105 degree room with 20 other sweating bodies and a tyrant posing as an instructor. He will push you and encourage you all at the same time. You will hate him yet love him for kicking the shit out of you (figuratively). There will be no escape and should you leave the room for fear of asphyxiation you will be subconsciously thought of as a weak link and a loser (though he would never tell you that to your face).
Suffice it to say that you'd be better off shooting yourself than walking out of a Hot Yoga class. Speaking of hot yoga - it's fucking freezing in the office today. Ugh! I didn't where socks today - damnable leather mules!! But wait...I have footies in my gym bag!! Ain't life grand?
Be Well
