Oh Shine On

It’s really windy out there.

Like, really windy. I’m an absolute mess… hair tossed, bangs uncombed, scarf flailing. Good thing I didn’t wear a skirt today… nobody wants to see that too early in the morning. Or maybe they do, for laughs.

I tried calling home… it didn’t work though and I couldn’t hear a single thing. I hope whatever my mom had to say wasn’t important.

My car and I haven’t been getting along very well. He is rude and likes to misbehave. He doesn’t listen to me. He enjoys smelling bad, broken turn signals, and flat tires… and that’s on a good day.

4.3.2.1… these are done.

So quick, too quick… in fact, I’m still changing into my sports bra. Don’t look. Rude.

I nuked these bad boys on high for 30 seconds.

I wanted to slurp this mixture down.

I added the oats instead.

I think I only made matters worse.

Now I want to scarf this mixture down.

Oh well, there are tougher things in life…

Like trying to find a subtle and nonchalant way to break out your favorite dance moves to your favorite song at the gym. It’s harder then it looks… believe me, I get awkward stares. Lots and lots of awkward stares. Most try to stare discretely, thinking that I can’t see the disapproval and embarrassment in their faces.

But I see them. It makes me somewhat uncomfortable, but then I just go back to dancing. That’s how it goes.

It’s really not my fault. If we’re pointing fingers, I blame Ke$ha.

My go-to move just happens to be the booty shake. Keep it simple, people. Wiggle it lose, wiggle it tight. Now that’s a work out.
