Saved by Murry

Today was Thursdays with Murry. I love to make up a plan for how things are going to go and then the universe loves to change those plans with out any notice.I planned on going to the gym this moring and then on Friday I was going to take a rest day because I have a doctors appointment and a Douala appointment. I really liked this plan. So I get up this morning and even though I was tired and did not want to go to the gym I reminded myself of my plan and I put on my ill fitted work out clothes and went. Well, 5o minuets later I am still not at the gym. Why? Traffic. Horrible slow, evil traffic and I am just sitting there dying a spiritual death because I want to kill someone because I think that I know what the plan is and it pisses me off that it is not happening.

After an hour it becomes apparent that I am not going to work out before work. But I still need to shower and get dressed for work and I don't want to go into that hideous valley of nakedness that they call the gym locker room. Murry lives right down the street from the gym so I give her a call hoping that she is awake. Just my luck..shes up!! I tell her my dilemma and she invites me over.

Let me tell you, I had a lot of fun this morning. I went over and Murry and I had tea and we did some laughing and talking and she offered me some cake that I declined because I have eaten so much cake already. And we just had a nice time over all, a very pleasant way to start my day. Much more fun than being a compulsive stress head at the gym. The only thing that sucks is that Murry's shower is narrow and right now I am rather wide so it was a little tricky, but I managed to do it and get clean enough to come to work.

Now I have a date with Sarah after work to go to the gym, so I get to see 2 friends in one day.

That's a pretty good deal if you ask me. And a much better plan than I made up, the universe knows what its doing.

By the way I am 36 weeks pregnant today so time is running out for our contest. Well, not really but still you should take advantage of the chance to win 3 free cases of free candy. I mean its not that often that I push a kid out and we get to have a contest so take advantage while you can.

Oh and just one more by the way...I am huge. Just in case you didn't know and just in case I forget the women at the gym always remind me. Thanks ladies at the Y for your astute comments about my body.

You know, this Murry sounds like a great friend - and a great catch! Is Murry single? Is Murry a man? A woman? Both? Murry . . . such an easy name to cry out in the midst of ecstasy. I actually want to comment on this that and the other blog - I think you should take your dog on the show intervention but be sure to say "F" to the gym and stop at Murry's for smoothies and cake first.
