On the outside, I try to project an image of having it all together. But underneath that, I'm kind of a disaster. Hence... the name of the site: GlossyVeneer. While I was doing leg presses at the gym today I noticed some guy, about 21-years-old, standing near one of the weight machines. He was mainly just milling around, not ever using anything. But every time a girl walked by he immediately would stand up and do this move where he tried to look like he was casually stretching, but would lift his shirt up to show off his 6-pack abs while doing the stretch. The first time I noticed the movement, it was kind of weird. The second time, it was funny. The third time is was getting down right silly. And after several more times I started to think he was just pathetic. And yes, he did the motion when I walked by too.
As I was leaving the gym, I was driving through the parking lot toward the exit and a gal was barreling toward me in her Hummer. Even though I had the right of way, I felt it was necessary to stop as she was holding a cell phone in her left hand and waving some children’s toy toward the backseat with her right hand. Sure enough, she plowed right on through, right out the exit, cut off the traffic on the main road and kept going. I guess when you drive a Hummer you don’t have to follow the rules.
Speaking of working out, I am currently running 3 times a week, doing yoga twice a week, riding the bike at the gym a couple times a week and lifting weights twice a week. It is so nice to have a good routine again, since the weeks following the marathon kind of threw me off some.
I was browsing a web site the other day and saw this shirt:
It has 3 cupcakes on the shirt under the words. What do you think? Does it mean that since I run three times a week I get to eat a cupcake for each day I run? I may have to buy that shirt.
