I know it has been a loooong time since I have posted but i have decided to start this up again.
This morning a co-worker by the name of Doreen gave me a piece of pineapple that she said was to die for;as i was chewing on this piece of fruit she tripped on a file drawer that was somewhat open and started laughing, this in turn made me laugh and before I knew it I was aspirating!!!
I have never aspirated before and this was not a pleasant experience, I could not breath for about 20 seconds and when I caught my breath I started coughing horrendously. I coughed for 20 minutes straight, thought I was going to throw up twice, cried due to constant coughing and throat pain, and I swear I still have a piece of pineapple lodged somewhere in my lung.
Stupid Doreen!!

Veronica = Amazing Camper!!
Last weekend(this post is a little late, last weekend actually refers to May 9-11) I actually did i always said that I would never do, I went camping!! Now I have never been a big fan of camping because I like to have running water and really like going pee and poo in a real bathroom(not a porta potty). These things being said I decided to go camping for one night(totally ended up staying two nights) because my favorite peeps were going up.
Ok so on Friday morning I left work and headed to the gym(I had packed the night before), I decided to run 3.1 miles(5K) for my workout of the morning, so I get to the gym and start my run at 6.5mph and increase to 7.0mph after 2.0 miles and at 2.5 miles I increased to 7.5, and ended up finishing the run at 8.0 mph, all in all it wasn't a bad run and I finished at around 27:40, so slowly but surely I am getting better and faster. After my run I went straight to Jenna's (that was where Jessica B was picking us up at) took a shower and got my stuff ready to go. Jessica B got to the house at around 9:30 and after figuring out how to pack all of the stuff in her Neon(Jessica B had to drive because I can only fit two people in my car and we were pretty sure that Jenna and Sarah's Rodeos could not make the drive without breaking down) we were on our way.
We stopped off at a gas station to fill up the car and get snacks, oh also we made Jenna drive because Jessica B, Tasha, and I had all worked the night before and were in a state of delirium. So Jenna is driving, Tasha is co-captain, and Sarah, Jessica, and I are in the back seat. It was a fun car ride up (I mean how could it not be since we are all pretty damn funny!!) and when we got to Payson we stopped at the grocery store and bought a ton of delicious food and a lot of alcohol(on a side note apparently I missed the memo that it is still cold in Payson because I was wearing a tank top, bermuda shorts, and flip flops (I think I thought I was going to Rocky Point)). So after that we go on our way to the campsite, ok so the only two girls that had been to the campground before were Sarah and Jessica B, so they were are pseudo navigators since Sarah had stated "I don't need the map, I have the directions memorized!!" Anyway we are headed to campsite and we figure it's only about 20 minutes out of Payson (it's really like 40 min out of Payson), while we are driving Sarah keeps pointing out familiar looking landmarks and telling us that we are almost there, at one point we were for sure that we had missed it because Sarah didn't recognize any of the scenery (I know, how could she not recognize anything when she had it memorized, we were also puzzled), at this point we all start trying to find the signs for the campground, I notice a sign and try to read it from afar and say "Hey we are approaching Walton Fob something"...we get closer and I realize that the sign really said "Watch for Elk", at this point I decide to keep my mouth shut because I am on no sleep and can therefore not think or see straight and apparently I cannot make coherent sentences. Finally after ten more minutes of driving we see the turnoff for the campsite and applaud!!
We only had one more mishap after we turned into the campsite, we had headed in and for some reason we missed the turn to the actual campsites(of course none of this is Sarah(since she had the directions memorized)or Jessica's fault since they knew where we were going and were telling us to just follow the road (I might have had a bit to do with it since I kept saying "Mark told me to just follow the road and we would see the spot")) we ended up about fifteen minutes further than we needed to be and Jenna had to make a five point turn and one side of the road was a cliff(she chose to take the turn on Sarah's side since this debacle was all her fault), fear not though, we finally reached the campsite and we arrived unscathed.
As soon as we got to the campsite which was called "Beer Pong Camp" ,I threw on some jeans and a sweater and we started drinking. Mark made some awesome chili (he made me my own little batch with no meat) and we had a ton of fun playing beer pong and freezing our asses off because it was like 30 degrees up there and it was super windy. But we had a great time and I am sure everyone drank a little too much, Micheal (Mark's BFF) was totally hammered and he was the first to pass out, Tasha and I were the last ones in bed, we had to pee so we made sure that we had knives in hand as we went to do our business(the knives were for protection because everyone knows that the ethnic people always die first in scary movies that take place in the forest), we peed washed our hands brushed our teeth and went to bed.
We woke up at the butt crack of dawn the next day because there was some large bird cawing outside( Since I was half asleep I thought it was a duck, and was screaming "damn it what is up with that duck, why won't it leave us alone" of course then Jenna and Mark had to let me know that it wasn't a duck but it was probably a crow), it was so damn cold that even though I had to go to the bathroom I waited until it hurt to hold it until I finally went to get the shovel and do my duty.
Mark made a fire for us and we huddled around it until it got warm enough to move around. Sarah, Tasha, Jenna, and I realized that we were all windburned so we hurried up and put sunblock on to try and ease the pain(we looked a mess), no matter how much I told Jessica that she should put sunblock on her absolutely refused stating "I don't need sunblock, I am from Montana!!" <==that right there should have been a clear sign to put some sunblock on.
While we were eating the amazing breakfast that Mark had cooked up we made up a new word "SHIT TON"(since the trip we have checked urban dictionary and discovered that we were not the first peeps to think up this word) which translates to "12", for example "that is a shit ton of donuts you have there". After we breakfast we chilled for a bit, drank some beer and then went to the lake to check it out. At the lake we saw a bathroom(up to this point we had been doing our duties in the wilderness) so I ran in to use it, it was a one of those bathrooms that is a toilet and the toilet dumps down into a huge well of poop and pee(sickest thing ever), and there were like two shit tons of flies in there. After I left the bathroom I went down to the lake and sat with the rest of the crew, I set my feet in the water and immediately took them back out because the water was absolutely freezing, but Jason(Sarah's "friend" from work) jumped in the water and was swimming around because he is obviously not right in the head. We were at the lake for about an hour and then we went on our way back to the campsite, while we were on our way back Mark spotted a tire on the side of the road and stopped the truck and told me to go lift it since I do crossfit workouts, of course I jumped right off and went to lift it....and I failed (it was a tractor tire so it weighed a shit ton of shit tons) , personally I think I failed because it had obviously been on the ground for awhile and was embedded there. After my failed attempt we went back to the campsite and twenty minutes later Melissa showed up so we decided to stay until the next day.
We had some sandwiches and played a few rounds of fuck the dealer, shotgunned some beers, played horseshoes and frisbee and then we decided to play a little bit of sloshball with a soccer ball(not a bright idea), we played girls against guys and it was the worst thing that we could have done I was on the outfield and they were kicking it so hard that I was running around like an illegal running from the INS, we had a blast playing sloshball but ended the game early when certain team members that will not be named ditched our team and sat out. Although a memorable moment was when Mark went up to kick the ball and totally missed and almost flipped on his back, pretty much Mark sucks at sloshball.
While everyone was making there way back to the campsite Jessica and I walked over to the tire that had stumped me before and we decided to lift it together, we succeeded and then I lifted up by myself once and then we proceeded to keep on flipping the tire for exercise(yup we were buzzing and that quickly killed our buzz), Mark wandered over and dared us to flip the tire to a huge rock halfway to the campsite, Jessica and I agreed and we went on our merry way flipping the tire, Mark jumped on the tire a few times and we still flipped it with his weight on it because Jessica and I are bad ass mofos. We ended up flipping the tire all the way to the campsite and then we were absolutely exhausted and filthy, so we had to take cold water and rinse our nasty bodies off. But hey we did it and it was one of the hardest workouts ever!!
The second night was really low key, we ate a really good dinner courtesy of Melissa and Charles(her hubby) and just chilled and we were all so spent that we went to bed early. We woke up semi early the next day because Jessica had a nine am appointment and we packed up our stuff and went home. We were all sun and wind burned and Jessica was so red from the sunburn that it looked scary(I told her and she didn't listen), all in all it was a great trip with fanstastical people and I can't wait until we go to Lake Powell so that we can do it again!!!
Ok so on Friday morning I left work and headed to the gym(I had packed the night before), I decided to run 3.1 miles(5K) for my workout of the morning, so I get to the gym and start my run at 6.5mph and increase to 7.0mph after 2.0 miles and at 2.5 miles I increased to 7.5, and ended up finishing the run at 8.0 mph, all in all it wasn't a bad run and I finished at around 27:40, so slowly but surely I am getting better and faster.

I think Moths may have it out for me!
So I was walking out of Jenna's house on my way into work and as we were talking on her porch a huge moth came and smacked me on the side of my face!!! Jenna started screaming and I just stood there flabbergasted that a moth had hit me.
Honestly I really think they are out to get me now....
Honestly I really think they are out to get me now....

Seriously.......
So the other day I had an epiphany, first I will tell you about that day and then I will tell you what the epiphany was.
Ok so on Monday I woke up at a decent hour and decided not to workout because I didn't want to restraighten my hair (ok before you start saying eeww, I will have you know that I took a shower with a shower cap on and the reason I didn't want to do my hair again is because I have super curly hair and it takes awhile to straighten, besides I had done my hair the day before so it wasn't like I was going on three days without washing it)so I lounged around the house and talked to my roommate for a bit and then got ready to go to lunch with Jimmy(Jimmy and I have been friends for a long time but I have not seen him recently since he now lives with my ex-husband). So I met Jimmy for lunch at Chili's at around 12:30 and after looking at the menu I decided to get the Mesquite Chicken Salad without the chicken and the bacon although I did add a black bean patty to the salad for some protein. Our food comes out and I put the delicious ranch dressing over everything and toss the salad a bit and start digging in, about ten minutes pass by and by this time I have almost eaten half of my salad, Jimmy is talking to me about something and I happen to look down at my salad and I see the most ginormous moth ever in the salad, the moth was trying to fly away but it couldn't because it was covered in ranch!! Ok I immediately yelp and ask Jimmy if I am really looking at a moth, he responds with a "That is the biggest moth I have ever seen" so I then say "OMG did I eat any of it or is it still all there?!?!" Jimmy then responds with "I don't think you ate any of it, it looks like it is still there" at this point I calm down and flag the first waitress that I see and ask her to please take the plate away, she asks why and I lift up the napkin that I had used to cover the moth and she yelps and says that she will be right back, at this point I start laughing and Jimmy says "why are you laughing, please tell me you aren't going to start crying." I said no I will tell you why I am laughing 1. I am a vegetarian so when I saw the poor moth trying to fly out of the salad but failing because it was covered in ranch, I felt bad for it. 2. I was almost halfway through the salad before I realized it was in there so I cam pretty close to eating it, 3. Stuff like this seems to always happen to me!!!
So a minute after the waitress goes away the manager comes out and tells Jimmy and I that our whole meal was comped(duh) and then he gave me a gift certificate (like I will ever eat at Chili's again). So I left lunch feeling sick and with my mouth feeling fuzzy.
After the traumatizing even at Chili's I decided to get my car washed and get the oil changed. I went to the oil change place(they also wash cars there)and I don't know why but sometimes I forget what kind of car I drive, so the guy came in and told me that it was going to be $68 for just my oil change I was like "WTF are you serious!!" he then let me know that it was because my car needs synthetic oil. I told him to wait one sec and then I called Jimmy and my ex-husband to see if either one of them wanted to change my oil , Jason (the ex) told me that the last time that he changed my oil it cost him almost $50 just for the oil, so I decided to suck it up and just pay for the oil change, of course I also needed to get my air filter changed so after everything was said and done (including the hand wash) I ended up paying over $100 for something that I though was going to cost $32. Fun times.
Well after I left the car place I was in a foul mood so I headed straight for the bar, Mark and Jenna were going to meet me there but I beat both of them and by the time Jenna showed up I was almost done with my first beer( totally going down like water) Jenna and I were drinking for about another half hour before Mark got there. Once Mark got there we just chatted about my moth experience and drank more and more beer, a few hours later Michelle and Lauren stopped by and we chilled with them for a bit and talked to some of their firefighter friends that had spotted us at the bar. Around this time Mark, Jenna, and I decided that we wanted to go to the Tavern because tht is where one of my bff's Ty works as a bartender, so Mark called his friend Chad and he came to get us from the bar and take us to Mill Ave where the Tavern in located, on our way out of the bar I got stopped by one of Jason's friends who asked me if the reason Jason and I split was because I had cheated on him!! I said "hell no!! I know people think that is what happened but the reality is that we grew apart and there was no way it was going to work." His buddy said "Yea I figured you hadn't but I wanted to make sure." So anyway I left the bar a little pissed that everyone still thinks that I cheated on Jason, NO I DID NOT CHEAT!! My only reasoning for everyone thinking that is that I am so amazing that they could never see Jason cheating on meand since he is not one to divulge information they assumed it had to be me. So of course I ended up leaving the bar in a pissy mood.
In order for us to be able to get to our cars in the morning (we had arranged a ride from the Tavern )we had to leave a car at Jenna's house. So Jenna and Mark went in her car and I jumped in Chad's car (Marks friend....more on him later) to tell him how to get there. So we got to Jenna's dropped off the car and immediately took off to the Tavern, by this time Jenna's phone and my phone had totally died so we had no way of calling or texting anyone which was ok because we were in good company. We arrived at the Tavern and immediately got beers and a round of shots, after this my night got a little blurry. So from here on out this is all heresay, apparently we drank a lot of beer and took a lot of shots, at one point Chad said something smart to me and I gave him a little shove on his belly and felt rock hard abs!! After that I apparently attached myself to him like a leech(I swear I don't like him like that, it was the booze and the abs), at one point I touched his face and he had stubble and it felt so soft that I kept touching it. So yes I pretty much made a fool of myself, but did Jenna and Mark stop me?? NO they let me make a complete ass of myself because they said it was so entertaining!! Nice way to look out for a friend!!
By the time we decided to leave the Tavern I was starving and decided that the only thing that would satiate me was a veggie cheesesteak from Corleone's, so I went off in search, the rest of the group tried to stop me but I had to have my cheesesteak so I stomped off for my sub with Jenna only to see that they were closed!! I was dying of starvation so I made Jenna stop at the only sub shop that was open, I ordered a veggie sub from there and let me tell you that it was absolutely delicious!! Anyway by the time we got to Jenna's I was almost done with my sub and we started to watch Boondock Saints (totally fantastical movie), I was sitting next to Chad and after 20 minutes of the movie I looked over to Jenna and Mark and they were snuggled together so of course I thought to myself "that seems like a fantastical idea!!" so once again I attached myself to Chad like a damn leech(poor guy having to deal with me wrapped around him) anyway Chad and I ended up sleeping on the couch, I fell asleep on his chest and the last coherent thing I said was "I really like your body"(I know I am a total douche)and then I fell asleep. Ok so I think I woke up three hours later hot as hell and wondering why I was laying on Chad, so I moved to the chaise lounge part of the couch and fell asleep by myself. At 6:30 I was woken up by the sound of the shower because Ryan(Jenna's roommate) was getting ready for work. Ryan asked me who Chad was and I told him and then he asked me where Mark was, when I told him that he was in Jenna's room he said "Ooohhh" , then Ryan made some more noise and left. At this point Jenna came out of her room and talked to me for a bit and told me that he tummy was hurting her alot. My butt had been hurting so I asked her to rub it(actually I think I had strained adductor magnus and semitendinosus muscles meet the gluteus which just means by the hip on my backside)and she did that for a bit and then I fell back asleep, now while I was sleeping I had a dream that Chad was rubbing my butt in that same spot but alas it was not true. On another note Chad did rub my back and it was fantastical!! Anyway I got up not realizing that I had made a complete ass of myself and it wasn't until I was on my way home that I started to remember all of the embarrassing things that I had done the night before.
Ok so a day later while I was working out at the gym I had the epiphany. First off I should not be allowed to be around men with awesome bodies when I have had too much to drink because I will always assume it's ok to wrap myself around them. Second of all I the next time a day starts off poopy I need to just go back home and read because when it comes to me I should automatically know that the day will just get worse. Third apparently since I am so enamored with hot bodies the next man that I date will have to be either a crossfit trainer, firefighter, SWAT officer, or special forces because all of them need to be in tip top shape.
Ok so on Monday I woke up at a decent hour and decided not to workout because I didn't want to restraighten my hair (ok before you start saying eeww, I will have you know that I took a shower with a shower cap on and the reason I didn't want to do my hair again is because I have super curly hair and it takes awhile to straighten, besides I had done my hair the day before so it wasn't like I was going on three days without washing it)so I lounged around the house and talked to my roommate for a bit and then got ready to go to lunch with Jimmy(Jimmy and I have been friends for a long time but I have not seen him recently since he now lives with my ex-husband).

I said no I will tell you why I am laughing 1. I am a vegetarian so when I saw the poor moth trying to fly out of the salad but failing because it was covered in ranch, I felt bad for it. 2. I was almost halfway through the salad before I realized it was in there so I cam pretty close to eating it, 3. Stuff like this seems to always happen to me!!!
So a minute after the waitress goes away the manager comes out and tells Jimmy and I that our whole meal was comped(duh) and then he gave me a gift certificate (like I will ever eat at Chili's again). So I left lunch feeling sick and with my mouth feeling fuzzy.
After the traumatizing even at Chili's I decided to get my car washed and get the oil changed.

My only reasoning for everyone thinking that is that I am so amazing that they could never see Jason cheating on meand since he is not one to divulge information they assumed it had to be me. So of course I ended up leaving the bar in a pissy mood.
In order for us to be able to get to our cars in the morning (we had arranged a ride from the Tavern )we had to leave a car at Jenna's house. So Jenna and Mark went in her car and I jumped in Chad's car (Marks friend....more on him later) to tell him how to get there. So we got to Jenna's dropped off the car and immediately took off to the Tavern, by this time Jenna's phone and my phone had totally died so we had no way of calling or texting anyone which was ok because we were in good company. We arrived at the Tavern and immediately got beers and a round of shots, after this my night got a little blurry. So from here on out this is all heresay, apparently we drank a lot of beer and took a lot of shots, at one point Chad said something smart to me and I gave him a little shove on his belly and felt rock hard abs!! After that I apparently attached myself to him like a leech(I swear I don't like him like that, it was the booze and the abs), at one point I touched his face and he had stubble and it felt so soft that I kept touching it. So yes I pretty much made a fool of myself, but did Jenna and Mark stop me?? NO they let me make a complete ass of myself because they said it was so entertaining!! Nice way to look out for a friend!!
By the time we decided to leave the Tavern I was starving and decided that the only thing that would satiate me was a veggie cheesesteak from Corleone's, so I went off in search, the rest of the group tried to stop me but I had to have my cheesesteak so I stomped off for my sub with Jenna only to see that they were closed!! I was dying of starvation so I made Jenna stop at the only sub shop that was open, I ordered a veggie sub from there and let me tell you that it was absolutely delicious!! Anyway by the time we got to Jenna's I was almost done with my sub and we started to watch Boondock Saints (totally fantastical movie), I was sitting next to Chad and after 20 minutes of the movie I looked over to Jenna and Mark and they were snuggled together so of course I thought to myself "that seems like a fantastical idea!!" so once again I attached myself to Chad like a damn leech(poor guy having to deal with me wrapped around him) anyway Chad and I ended up sleeping on the couch, I fell asleep on his chest and the last coherent thing I said was "I really like your body"(I know I am a total douche)and then I fell asleep. Ok so I think I woke up three hours later hot as hell and wondering why I was laying on Chad, so I moved to the chaise lounge part of the couch and fell asleep by myself. At 6:30 I was woken up by the sound of the shower because Ryan(Jenna's roommate) was getting ready for work. Ryan asked me who Chad was and I told him and then he asked me where Mark was, when I told him that he was in Jenna's room he said "Ooohhh" , then Ryan made some more noise and left. At this point Jenna came out of her room and talked to me for a bit and told me that he tummy was hurting her alot. My butt had been hurting so I asked her to rub it(actually I think I had strained adductor magnus and semitendinosus muscles meet the gluteus which just means by the hip on my backside)and she did that for a bit and then I fell back asleep, now while I was sleeping I had a dream that Chad was rubbing my butt in that same spot but alas it was not true. On another note Chad did rub my back and it was fantastical!! Anyway I got up not realizing that I had made a complete ass of myself and it wasn't until I was on my way home that I started to remember all of the embarrassing things that I had done the night before.
Ok so a day later while I was working out at the gym I had the epiphany. First off I should not be allowed to be around men with awesome bodies when I have had too much to drink because I will always assume it's ok to wrap myself around them. Second of all I the next time a day starts off poopy I need to just go back home and read because when it comes to me I should automatically know that the day will just get worse. Third apparently since I am so enamored with hot bodies the next man that I date will have to be either a crossfit trainer, firefighter, SWAT officer, or special forces because all of them need to be in tip top shape.

Dating is Out and Hardcore Working out is In!!!
I have decided that I am no longer going to date I will only focus on working out. I came to this conclusion after a month of dating.
What could possibly make me want to give up dating??...well let me tell you a few things I have discovered about dating nowadays(remember that I am newly single after being in a marriage for 3 years and actually was with my ex-husband for 7 years, that being said I am totally retarded at dating), ok here goes:.
1. No one talks on the phone anymore, everyone just texts! Now I am not saying that there is anything wrong with texting but I guess I just think that if you are dating someone you want to get to know them...which means talking to them on the phone because there is no way that you can show emotions through text.
2. I have found that some men tend to be insecure and extremely shy, now shy is totally ok but it's the insecurity that I have an issue with. Ok don't get me wrong I understand that everyone is insecure about themselves when it comes to certain things...i.e their bodies, being naked in front of people, the way they laugh,or other things. I just so happen to be a little insecure about my back fat and the little pudge I have around my middle (of course I am now working on getting rid of all of that)but that is about it, other than that I am pretty secure with who I am, hence I am always talking about my amazingness!! Sorry I tend to go off on tangents, back to the discussion. So the guy that I had been dating was insecure, shy, and a few other things, I liked him a lot so I tried to look past those things but in the end I just cannot be with someone that is not secure with themselves, no matter how hard you try it always ends up being a turnoff.
3. Men nowadays think that it is ok to only text or call you once a week. I know I know, some people are totally ok with this, I on the other hand am not. Now I don't really think that I am high maintenance but if someone is trying to date me then they need to want to see me, at least once a week, or if not then call me just to ask how my day is going,or to see how I am doing etc... I mean isn't that the whole point of dating??
4. WTF is up with men?? I am trying to have an adult conversation concerning our relationship and what does he do?? He changes the subject on me every single chance he gets which then has me redirecting the conversation back to the issue at hand, then he will give me a half ass answer and then try to change the subject again!! By the end of the conversation you are so annoyed that the only thing you want to do is end the relationship, and you do! Then days later you wonder if you overreacted because maybe some people cannot be as blunt as I am or feel as comfortable as I do talking about the relationship. So what do you do at this point?? Well you call your soulmate Jenna and she states "You did what is right for you!! There are some people that can handle dating someone like that, but you cannot, you are to strongwilled and secure to put up with someone that is none of those things." Of course at this point you tell Jenna how much you love her and think "Damn, she is right!!" I cannot put up with someone like that.
So here I am single...again, and I will probably be single for a long time, I have decided that I am no longer going to try to meet anyone else I am just going to focus on myself. So goal #1 is to get a Jessica Biel body, and actually I love doing Crossfit workouts so much that I am going to try to excel in it and then hopefully I will get certified in the workouts and will be able to teach other people the wonderful workouts that Crossfit has.
Also WTF was I thinking trying to date another man when I had just gotten out of a 7 year relationship?? Seriously I could kick myself for that, the last thing I need in my life right now is to be in another relationship and worried about a man. Never Again!!

OMFG I have made some progress!!!
Ok so the other day I was at Lauren and Michelle's showing off my new haircut (so super cute!! As soon as I upload my camera I will post a pic) and they both exclaimed "OMG your arms are getting so toned!!" of course I immediately look at my arm and flex it and there it was....muscle!!! Of course I started thinking "damn, months of working out and after a few crossfit workouts I start to see a difference!
I am totally 100% addicted to crossfit workouts!!
On another note I was super excited to see that I was making progress so I went shopping, my size 7/8 jeans were a little loose so I thought I would try on the 5/6 because I was feeling super skinny, well the verdict is that my not 5/6 self will be wearing my loose jeans for awhile because I couldn't even button the stupid ass 5/6 jeans, which of course made me look at every single roll I have on my body ,which then had me contemplating dropping on the ground right there and doing push ups and sit ups until I acheived the 5/6 jean size(ok seriously I probably would have been only able to do 20 pushups and those are the girl kind and I suck ass at doing sit ups so probably also 20 of those), instead I left the store empty handed and treated myself to a small frosty from Wendy's because really being a 7/8 isn't that bad at all. Plus frosty's are delicious!!
On another note and this may show how old I am, but when I was younger(probably like 13 or 14) I remember there being commercials on the radio for a store named Clothestime, they were always talking about the awesome sales that went on in the store and there was one particular commercial where the girl was trying to get in shape for the summertime and she was trying to tone her arms by rolling the car window up and down(see this was back when most cars had manual windows). Soo the point of this little story is that I was in traffic the other day and I thought to myself "damn while I am here I should try to get in shape a bit", I remembered the commercial and reached for my window button and thought "shit they are power windows all this will do is give me carpal tunnel" so instead I did butt squeezes and noticed absolutely no difference in my ass at all!! WTF!! I will have to stick with squats and lunges.
