.... a Ford Falcon.
I love public holidays, because I can go to the gym and take my time, knowing I don't have to get back to work to call this person, or do that errand. I slept in till 8.30am today... how shameful! First night alone in my house, and doesn't it make a difference when there's no noise. I thought for sure I'd be up early and planned to go for a run - the gorgeous pink curtains I've inherited in the unit let the bright morning light through. But no, I must have needed the sleep, I had an early morning yesterday where I officiated at the half marathon - I got to be a 'pole' - dressed as a lolly pop lady I had to stand still and direct the runners around a cone. It was more fun than running it. :P
So I walked to the gym and smashed my legs... so much so my back is really sore :( Toughen up Princess! I love the atmosphere at the gym - there's a lot of older members - "Mature and Motivateds" as I like to call them :) I always have time for a chat with them, and I know I'm a 'favourite' for that reason. They are so sweet!
One always asks "hows my little body-builder going today?"... he's been a 'mate' for a long time, offers to do stuff for me like help me move house, and so on and so forth. In fact, he's coming over for coffee once I get something he can sit on! LoL.
A few weeks back an older gentleman had been quite fascinated with my ipod shuffle. He asked what it was and what it did - I explained it played music. He asked how many LPs could fit on there - I explained it fits hundreds of songs. He was amazed. Then someone else came to chat to us he said to them - "Did you know that that little thing can fit 240 songs?? Amazing isn't it." It was so cute :) He's such a sweetie.
Today he had a classic line - "You're like the latest model Ford Falcon", he said to me. "Do you know what that means?"
I said no.
"Trim, taut and terrific".
AWWWW isn't he a sweetie!!
See I have some special men in my life after all :)
And so Kerryn, you are no longer looking for a blingy stick-insect, look for a Ford Falcon hopping off that plane!! HA!

I went for a look at the furniture store for more 'stuff' this afternoon. I plonked myself down on the massage chair as my back was aching.
A salesman started to walk over - ahhhh dammit, I have to pretend to be interested.
"Hi there, can I help you... Hey, didn't I see you at the gym this morning".
"Ahhh yes I was, I do remember seeing you. That's why I'm testing this, I'm a bit sore..."
20 mins I stalled him for and waffled on, whilst enjoying every single second of my massage ;)
Teee hee heee.

This is me and my stuff. My stuff usually involves running, weight training, food, work and the occasional weekend of misbehaving. If you're bored, don't read. If what I scribble is enough to make you come back, leave me a message! :)

I can really relate to your comments about the 'mature & motivated'. I take a few classes with them ( ahem....I'm classified as an 'oldie' too!) and they are the greatest bunch of people! So friendly and interactive and enthusiastic. I can well imagine they would love to chat with a spunky young thing! also- well done on SIZE 6 jeans!!!!! Holey Moley- I thought they were just for kids!!!! lol
As long as you don't bring an entourage of senior citizens with you....
:p
Sneaky bitch!! Getting a free massage although maybe one of your elderly gentlemen friends would be more than happy to give you a rub down (hehehe).
I'll have to remember that little trick with the massage chair LOL!
Your gym sounds cool - better than mine, filled with 16yr olds who are so rude!!
Yes I do the muscle chair trick quite a bit too! lol That's so cute you have a gorgeous fan club at the gym. You ford falcon you!
hehe, I wonder if the furniture store would mind daily visits from you... you could get paid as a model to demonstrate the chair!
