lazy

I'm lazy. Maybe I'm always lazy but now that it's hot and I'm pregnant I am even lazier. So, no posts. Until today when I am still lazy but bored at work.

A couple of weeks ago I went to water aerobics. I thought it sounded like a good kind of exercise for someone like me. I was told the class was full of old ladies and fat people. Right up my alley. So I went, and let me tell you: water aerobics is NO JOKE. It's hard. There were quite a few heavier ladies in there, but they were rockin the water aerobics. So, it's in deep water but they give you this flotation belt thingy. I had a bit of a hard time knowing where to put it since belts usually go, as you well know, around your waist, and I have not had a waist since some time in March. So, I manage to get it strapped on and this thin, perky, young blond (ie just the kind of people I was hoping to avoid in water aerobics) says "Does it fit?" Now, I am sure she was just being nice, but unfortunately I had to throw her in the pool and hold her head under anyway. I felt bad about it though. So then it turns out that lots of people in the class are pregnant. Only one is visibly pregnant, and I am way bigger than she is. The other two still have flat stomachs but wanted me to know that they were pregnant too. I don't care. Once you get to this late in your pregnancy you feel like you have this badge of honor, and those who are only a few months along are not yet in the club. I am very exclusive. Anyway, I am going back tonight. Wish me luck.

I was looking through the random classifieds the other day, and there was a posting that went something like this "Retired gentleman looking for young, educated female companion for expenses paid one week trip to Cancun". I wasn't even in the personals section! That's crazy! This old dude wants some young hot chick to go to Cancun with him and he's posting in the classifieds. If some girl responded to that and she ends up on the cover of People magazine I will only say "that's what you get for responding to that ad". Seriously. I wonder if a) it's legit and b) he got any takers. People are insane.

I had a baby shower this weekend. I still don't think they're fun. This one was more fun because it was my friends, but I really think the overall format is flawed. I think people who end up doing them more like parties where there's more focus on beer, eating and having fun and less focus on watching someone open baby gift bag no. 37 and pull out some tiny crap that no one cares about are really on to something. So, if you have a baby shower make it a jack and jill (men and women) serve alcohol, and refuse to open any gifts. We did have people decorate onesies (kind of funny) and my friend wrote "ask me about my tattoo" on hers which I thought was pretty funny. Suffice it to say that baby lizard will be wearing that one to the grocery store.

No one comes to work here anymore. I don't know what the deal is. Apparently working in the summer is optional here or something. Though not for us measly staff. This has totally killed my motivation and productivity. When the office is empty some people say "It's great, it's so quiet I can get a ton of stuff done." Others, like me, say "It's great. I can surf the internet all day and there's no one here to catch me." So, not much has been getting done here. oh well, it doesn't really seem to matter.

anyway, that's all I have for you today.

Comments:
Baby showers with drinking involved always make me happy. I went to one last year that had mimosas and sangria, and then we ran out of sangria and juice, so we just started drinking the champagne, and it turned into a barbecue with the family and the few guests (which I happened to be one of) that stuck around after the party was essentially over. It was the best day.

And the whole decorating onesies idea? Brilliant. At the drunken baby shower last year, we decorated little squares of fabric that one of the grandmothers (I can't remember which one...I was drunk) would then sew into a big quilt. It was so fun! But onesie decorating would be awesome. Very cool idea...

Hope you're feeling ok!! Have a great weekend WL...
