The Gym

I think I have something written across my forehead or across my Jlo times two butt that says I am a sucker. It seems to always happen to me but I attract people at the gym. I don't have fake boobs and am not a size two so I don't get it. A girl who looks like she is going to pass out on the treadmill who is sweaty is not attractive but yet time and time again I get guys talking to me. They must have working out endorphines to blind them from what they really are seeing. Here are a few I can remember:

• Scott - He was in Utah. He started giving me free personal training sessions. Which of course I was going to take. It wasn't until his pregnant girlfriend came in and he started inviting me to go to dinner that I realized this is not a good situation.
• Rich - I actually went out with this boy. He was friends of friends so I figured he might be a good guy.
• Darius - Was two times my size in muscle weight. Having a neck bigger than my thigh is not attractive. I do have to admit I did give him my number and we did text but I ended it there.
• Melvin - Was a personal trainer at the gym and could have been my father. When he asked me to go to dinner I almost fainted. Does he not realize the age difference?
• Bob - He was just as old as Melvin. He had his own airplane and invited me to Florida. I was lucky I changed gyms so I got out of that one.
• Brian - He is the most recent, he lives in my complex. He tried to use the mail lady to get my number but I told her we are not in HS anymore. He did finally talk to me and I choked. I don't have any game.

The moral of the story is the gym is indeed a creepy place. I just want to go and mind my own business. I smile at people so they don't think I am going to throw up on the machine, I am not doing it to flirt. Why cannot a boy outside of the gym like me. Ugh!!!

Foot Binding

So I am reading Snowflake and the Secret Fan for my bookgroup on my new kindle for my book group. The girl in the book gets her feet binded. Being curious I decided to research this topic and this is what I came up with:

Was a custom practiced on young girls and women for approximately one thousand years in China, beginning in the 10th century and ending in the first half of 20th century. Binding the feet involved breaking the arch of the foot, which ultimately left a crevice approximately 5 cm (2 in) deep, which was considered most desirable. It took approximately two years for this process to achieve the desired effect; preferably a foot that measured 7–9 cm (3–3 ¹⁄₂ in) from toe to heel.

^{The whole thing totally freaks me out. But yet I am so intrigued.}

My Favorite Things

I have decided to compose a list of my favorite things. I wanted to be like Oprah.

• Coconut Frosting Lip Gloss by Philosophy - It makes me want to eat my lips
• Marc by Marc Jacob purses - Nothing is better than a good purse
• HOBO wallets - Big enough to hold everything you need
• Lucky Charms - Who wouldn't love a cereal with marshmallows
• iPhone games - Has entertained for hours on end
• Nike Frees - They have made me realize I have different muscles when running
• Body Pump classes - Who needs a trainer when you have this class
• Salted Caramels - A little sweet and a little sugar make the perfect combination
• Small crunchy ice - Makes any drink taste better
• iPhone Movies - I have become the best movie maker and I learned I can sing
• Brothers and Sisters - Best drama on tv right now
• Kindle - I haven't technically gotten mine yet, but I know I will love it

That is about it for now.

2010 in Review

I know I have not blogged in awhile so I thought I would recap what I did in 2010:

• Was the Top Performer at my company (only two of us exceeded our quotas)
• Went to Costa Rica - Met Gustavo ;)
• Moved to Arlington, VA
• Went to Boston, Dallas, New York City, LA, Atlanta, Duck Beach, New Jersey and of course I went to Utah
• Realized Williamsburg is not as cool as the American Girl doll magazine makes it
• Went to an NFL Game
• Said goodbye to Oprah's Show

I guess my year was not super eventful but it was good. I am super excited what 2011 holds. I can feel it is going to be lucky.
