It's here...cooler evening temps!

I felt chilled as I left spin class in my sweaty clothes. Brrr....drove home with the heat on in the car!

The Rec Ctr has a miniature Dana Torres in the form of an 8 yr old little girl. I've watched her dad (or grandad) coach her on several occasions while I'm aqua jogging. She's so cute & swims like a miniature Olympian.

I now have two unsolicited "whistles" in these unflattering bike shorts. (I still hate them!) :( Terri took the whistles Sun morning in stride. She was cracking me up waving at people when they honked. The 2nd whistle came while I was putting my bag in the car in between aqua jogging & spin class today. I was like, "Thanks, but I still think my butt looks big!"

FYI, the "older gentleman" has resurfaced. I do know his name now, thanks to B.B. at work. He's harmless. He wanted to chit chat as I was shivering into my car.

I told the spin instructor tonight that I should've brought in my bike light & put it on the front of my spin bike. She busted out laughing. I don't mind the dark, mind ya, but it does make me laugh everytime this happens.

Dec 22nd - Dec 27th, I'll be in San Antonio. Whoo Hoo! Yippee! I only paid $50 more for this years ticket than I did last years ticket & I have straight flights going to & coming back. (Thanks, Southwest!) I cannot wait to see the boys, the beagles, the Spurs, the sister, & her hubby! Yeah, I've suggested we stay with tradition & go to the Dec 23rd Spurs game.
(Hey, what's time spent in San Antonio without a Spurs game?! )

FYI, SNL could have been better Saturday night. Bob (from accounting) & I both agree that we could have written better skits. For instance, I would have had a skit where the US & French swimmers end up in a fight after the relay. I would have had a skit where Phelps was eating his 12,000 calories in a restaurant grossing people out. Oh, and what a waste, they neglected to have a skit with him in a speedo! Gesh! They pretty much copied a skit they did when Peyton Manning was hosting a couple of years ago. It's a skit where they had a swim coach trying to fire them up with lame music. He inspires Phelps to dance with him to the music. In the football version, Peyton is dancing shirtless. Phelps was not in this version. (Funny that I noticed all this... ha!)

I'm officially addicted to "Faith of my Fathers". I started reading it Sunday evening & could hardly put it down. Is it ok for me to think he was extremely hot way back then? :P

Tonight's workout:
45 mins aqua jogging
45 mins spin class

Friday Coffee thoughts

Conventions:
Yes, I have been watching...not all of it but about an hour each night. The question that keeps coming into my mind, "So, what are YOU going to try to do?" You know it's not like ONE person can or is allowed to make ALL the decisions on their own. That would be scary! I'm undecided still & wish someone else was running. That's all I'm going to say about it because I'm not a big time, passionate, political person. I just want the above question answered instead of all the finger pointing. Gesh, enough already! I just about died laughing when I heard the guys joking on Y107 the other morning about how they think if McCain chose Hilary as his VP running mate, she'd take it. Funny stuff!

Football:
Tullahoma High has it's first home game tonight against Franklin County. I just text Coach Lester to get the scoop on who's going to win. My good buddy Ted says THS will win at least 7 games this season. I hope this is one of the seven because of the rivalry.
Uh, Vince Young bruised his hand last night at the Atlanta preseason game. I didn't watch much of that but it looked a bit sloppy. I hope they get it together by the 7th. We're doing the scalper thing for that game unless we have tickets fall into our hands.

Diet:
I'm going to get my former college roommate to look at my food diary. Joanie's a nutritionist so maybe she'll be able to suggest some other things to eat. I'm so bored with my weekly lunches lately it's not even funny. I've already determined that I don't get enough protein. On the grocery list this weekend, low sugar protein shakes.

Saturday Night Live: Sept 13th
Guess who's hosting the 1st episode of the season? Mr. 8 Gold medals himself. I think it will be funny because they'll probably make fun of the French & the low riding suits. I've heard Phelps has a great sense of humor.

Yesterday's workout:
45 min spin class, 60 min slow walk, various arm & leg weight machines, free weights arms, pilates moves, ab work...I was so tired when I got home.
This Afternoon:
Walking, some light weights, & ab work

Coffee is gone now & time to work...TGIF everyone!
