So this morning I decided I would go out to the gym to workout. I was totally thrilled to find only half a dozen cars in the parking lot when I got there. I had gotten a text from my sister as I was driving in the parking lot, so I decided to check it as soon as I got the car in park. Jenni said that mom had food at the house.<\/p>\n
Not having eaten any real food in almost 24 hours, the tempation was too hard to resist. I decided to drive out to Derby to my mom and dad’s house. Before leaving the Andover YMCA parking lot, I sent off a Twitter update<\/a> pretty much saying how pleased I am with myself for finding a new workout time when there’s hardly anyone at the gym (because it’s always overcrowded any other time).<\/p>\n When I got to my parents’ house and was able to check my phone again (I don’t check it while I’m driving — safety first), I saw a reply from Jess<\/a>. It simply stated, “I thought they didn’t open until 12 on Sundays.” That would explain why there were no cars in the parking lot. Doh?!<\/p>\n I could have sworn that I saw a workout class that started at 9:30 AM. I must have been looking at the wrong schedule or wrong day or something. =P I probably would have realized my error had I actually walked to the locked doors. I did check the schedule just now and it looks like they open at 10:00 AM (unless I’m looking at it wrong). Either way though, I was there way too early for them to be open.<\/p>\n When I got to my mom’s house, she already had pancit<\/i> ready. My sister was also up. We’re the only three people I know who consistently get up at the crack of dawn. My mom and I more so than my sister. I think she only started doing this recently, so there must be something wrong with her. It’s normal for me to get up at 6:00 AM without an alarm. Although, yesterday I was up by 4:30 AM. Today, I got up at 6:30 AM. My mom does the same thing. I guess I must have gotten it from her.<\/p>\n Anyway, I was telling mom and Jenni how I had gotten these two CDs the other day when I was at Linkhaus for Sunny’s remote. Sunny drew my name and my friend’s name so we both got to pick CDs. I ended up with both of them. My pick was Kings of Leon, which I’d been listening to in the car since Friday night. I heard them for the first time when their music was used in the 2009 Victoria’s Secret fashion show<\/a>. <\/p>\n This morning, I finally unwrapped the other CD. I put it in the CD player and started listening. I really liked the music although (a couple of minutes into the first song) I did tell myself, “I think this is Country.”<\/p>\n So I asked mom and Jenni if either of them wanted this Country music CD that I’d won. “Who is it?” Jenni asked. I said, “It’s a band called Lady Antebellum..” Mom was like, “I want it!” While Jenni was like, “How do you not know that Lady Antebellum performs Country music?”<\/p>\n “I don’t know. I don’t listen to Country,” I replied. “I don’t listen to Country either, but they’re all over the TV. You can’t miss them!” Jenni thinks I’m a do-do head because this is something that I obviously should have known. I’m just out of it, I guess.<\/p>\n This is what happens when Brian is away. I turn into a bumbling fool. I also blame it on the lack of sleep. Usually waking up early (they way I normally do) doesn’t bother me because I’m in bed early also. Falling asleep in a Brian-less bed has proven to be quite a challenge. Excuses aside, I’m just not hip and I’m also not immune to ocassional “stupid” moments.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" So this morning I decided I would go out to the gym to workout.
