A Walk to Remember

 Yesterday was a day that will go down in laziness history, a day like no other ...  It all started a few weeks ago when I acquired a treadmill from friend.  I was told it was not a good idea to place it where I wanted it (Directly in front of an HD TV with netflix), so I went with the flow and put it where SHE wanted it.  A dreadful place, the back bedroom had a 27 inch 1995 TV with no remote and no TV stand.  So, fatter I became as the treadmill collected dust in the back bedroom.  It called to me but I refused to watch such an inferior TV while working out.
Yesterday I had an epiphany.  A bright light shone from that back bedroom yesterday and the treadmill called out to me like Rapunzel. "Come save me fatboy, for I am all alone in this dreadful place.  Put me where I rightly belong, in front on an HD TV with a remote and netflix.  I will help you if you just please give me a chance!"  the treadmill exclaimed.  I jumped up off the couch and pulled that treadmill out and gave it the seat of honor it deserves then immediately started trying to lose a few pounds.  However, I do have strict rules for treadmill usage.

52 minutes later I had finished a two mile walk through TV land.  Slow, steady, and comfortable; A Walk to Remember!  Now if I can just keep it up and beat my pace.  My goal for tonight is 2 miles under 50 minutes, momma raised an athlete!

Flying with the Owls and Soaring with the Eagles

Summer time is quickly passing.  Wild nights and early mornings, but hey, it's summer people.  Hanging out with teachers day and night is wearing me out. 
I belong to the real world where the only days off are weekends.  If I do choose to take a day off there is no sick pay with leave for self option when I inform the boss.  Basically, a day off is like throwing away money.  I have wiped my ass with too many twenties this year but I did it all with no regrets.
For example, yesterday afternoon I called the boss because I had to TCB. (I already worked 5 hours at my other job so it wasn't like I did nothing all day) He happily let me off work and joined me after the TCB part of my day was done.  This was followed by a "Beach Bar Bicycle Poker Run".  A few of us, including my boss, came up with the idea and have successfully completed 2 BBBPR's.  This involves spending money and not making money but it is "exhilirating" according to one of yesterday's participants.

The moral of my story, wiping your ass with twenties is a blast.  A low bank account balance is not a blast.

It's summer time, I live in Florida right near the beach, money isn't everything, so in the words of the Black Eyed Peas, let's live it up!!!
