I spent the entire weekend sitting on my rump. With temperatures hovering around 105, my get up and go got up and went. It was so bad, on Saturday I went to the grocery, realized I’d left my wallet at home, turned back around and never returned. We ordered Chinese. Sunday, I didn’t even bother to leave the house, I just ordered pizza.
I believe the only time I stepped outside was to go to the dollar theater with the family last night to see Monsters vs. Aliens. It was a cute enough movie and the kids really seemed to like it. Personally, I was more interested in sitting in a dark air conditioned room for two hours stuffing my face with popcorn and Thin Mints. Oh yes, I did.
And today, I’m paying for it. Not to exaggerate, but my rear end feels like it grew two sizes over the weekend. It’s as if the gym is mocking me. “Bah hah! Told you so!” Ugh.
So tonight it’s Move My Rear Night. I get to stop at the grocery after work, grab some soup and salad, then hit the gym where I fully expect to have an attack of apoplexy or some other sort of poetic demise. Because if I’m going to die in a puddle of my own sweat? I want it to be poetic.
Oh, and please stop by my review page to win a copy of a fun book.

If your area is anything like Houston, which is where many of my in-laws live, I can understand completely about the heat and humidity. It just drains you. Hang in there.

I think you had best re-negotiate the southern retirement thing.

it is definitely hot here. I went to the grocery store AND Sam’s and then to B&N to meet my book club group…all on a hot Sunday. ugh. the next few days won’t be any better so the best place to be would be by a pool.

105? good lord, I wouldn’t have moved either. You should get a free pass every so often of thin mints without having it come back to haunt you.
