A new breed of exercise: Water Aerobics ;) & have you seen Barbie’s Wedding pics?

Posted on August 26, 2011 by admin

Be honest – when you read the title “Water Aerobics” did you think of old ladies?

Or maybe the word LAZY popped into your mind? Followed by little snickers? I mean for real – WHO in the world does water aerobics?? Well, well, well … Do THESE people look old and lazy to you?

I didn’t think so!

Wait a minute- those aren’t pictures of water aerobics! Those aren’t even pictures of people!! Those are dogs!! Where is the picture of young, energetic people doing water aerobics? :-0 Are you telling me such a picture doesn’t exist? And that my next door neighbors had every right to make fun of me when I got home from water aerobics tonight? And that you also wish you could tease me to my face because I went to water aerobics for the first time? And you are laughing out loud because it’s only been 3 hours since I finished water aerobics and I’m already sore?

Ok. Fair enough.

Water aerobics IS an old lady sport.

An old lady sport I just discovered I LOVE!!! YAY!!!

p.s. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Mattel announced that Barbie and Ken OFFICIALLY divorced. Which actually wasn’t funny – it was just sad. But what IS funny is that this brilliant photographer had them get RE-married! AHAHAHAHAHA! You can see more pics HERE.

Seriously brilliant. I love that she even captured all of the cliche wedding poses. :) AND the latest trend to have different colored shoes! HAHAHAHA! I love it.

Btw – tonight, after water aerobics, a bug flew into MY EYE! Siiiick.

TMI: Orange – yellow and red

Today I leaned over my bathroom sink and – before I go any further I should warn you that what I’m about to tell you is kind of gross – but not like disgusting – just gross as in the kind of gross you totally want to share, but only with your brothers.

Yeah like that.

ORANGE. That’s what dripped into my sink. FROM MY NOSE! Orange. I couldn’t even prevent it. I have such a terrible sinus infection that puss is literally pouring from my sinuses. yeah. It’s THAT kind of sick. I’m THAT kind of sick/ill. And I think I’ve just changed my mind. It is pretty disgusting.

Siiiiiiick.

In other news, I also have bronchitis, pharyngitis and a double ear infection. Lucky me!

Oh hello there! What? Oh you said yellow? Yellow to you too! And no I’m not doing too fine today. I’m a little blue. But orange you glad I didn’t say goodbye?

Why yes. Yes I am.

I will not drink cayenne pepper with honey

I’m really big into the whole detox fad right now. I know it’s a fad – or at least it is in Australia – and I also know it’s mostly dumb. But I’ve signed up for the whole idea anyway.

In my wanderings I found a detox drink recipe that we are ALL supposed to have every morning. It’s made with lemon, cayenne, honey and water. I decided it was time for me to make it.

What a foul drink. Please kill me now! I will NOT drink cayenne pepper with honey and/or lemon ever again. If I’m supposed to have more lemon in my day – fine. I’ll add THAT to my water. If I’m supposed to have cayenne in my diet – fine. I’ll sprinkle it on my food to give it a little spicy kick. But I will not EVER drink cayenne pepper in water with honey again.

I’m scarred for life.

Hey but if YOU want to try it – maybe you’ll like it. Just mix 8 oz water, 2T lemon, 1/4 tsp cayenne and 1T honey. Give it a go! It may turn out to be your FAVORITE thing in the whole world.

UPDATE: I guess it was supposed to be made with maple syrup – not honey. But still … it’s not for me.
