Rhetorical Randoms

If you are coming to this blog reading that title, and looking at that picture thinking my rhetorical questions will make you ponder life in addition to the mark you will leave on this planet, then you may want to leave now before you set yourself up for disappoint in preposterous proportions.

  • Why has Grey's Anatomy jumped the shark?
  • Why every time I want a Starbucks by my gym they are always closed with reasons such as remodel, no water supply, no coffee, no electricity?
  • Why every time I go to the post office and try to ship my own package the guy behind the counter claims I did not put enough postage on it?
  • Why did Sirius rename 1/2 of their stations to XM names?
  • Why is every store, from grocery store, to Target, and malls already packed with people shopping for the holiday season?
  • What in the world do I wear for Shane's holiday party that can make me look 10lbs thinner, besides loosing 10lbs?
  • Why do I still watch "The Hills"?
  • Why do I get sleepy everyday at 3 in the afternoon?
  • Why do I bother making the bed at 8 in the evening?
  • Why does watching "The Biggest Loser" make me hungry?
  • Why do some SPIN class participants stare at me waiting for me to say something magical?
  • Why can other fitness instructors do so much, like run marathons one day and teach aqua or a step class the next day while I turn into a piece of leg fatigued shit after 10 miles?


Monday's Workout:
unscheduled DOR legs felt fatigued and I have 6 SPIN classes this week
Yea, it seems to be I am a wuss

Tuesday's Workout:
1 hr. SPIN class
3 mile run easy
(12:19)

:) You just simply make me smile.

My thought for today.....

"Let's get down to the nitty-gritty." What the hell IS the nitty gritty????

BTW, that "2 Hill" workout was the zee-bomb!!!
(french for they digged it)

Why is it that I get home for work and decide "I need wine" immediately?

Carly said...

LMAO! Viv these are great. I am guilty of eating garbage while watching BL.

J~Mom said...

It DID NOT jump the shark. Operating on pigs one week and dead bodies the next REALLY happens.

Oohh I am shopping for the same holiday dress. But then I remembered that my next hair appointment is not until the week after the party and if I am going to have gray hair then who cares what I am wearing?

If you chew Wrigley's gum while you watch BL, then you won't be hungry and it's only 10 calories. - Bob

If you do 100 squats and 100 lunges during the 3 minutes of commercials then you won't have time to fix a snack - Jillian

If you text nasty messages to that really nastly lady (what's her name?) then you won't have any time left to eat - Pat

I am not a fan of the Sirius renames. I really enjoyed Backspin and lithium (90's alt), now where are they!

Mel said...

LOL
Love the list. I am also wondering where all of those holiday shoppers are coming from already.

Nat said...

I don't know about the fitness instructors but before I started reading your blog I was convinced you were all evil. HENCE why they can run an ironman and still teach advance step with weights 20 minutes later.

I have to say as an XM subscriber, I'm loving the merger. Alt Nation and BBC One are my new faves. Coincidently, I went to high school in the UK with a guy who djs on Alt Nation.

nicole said...

That made me smile....

I watch the hills because i need more drama in my life and because i live for the day when Heidi kicks spensors ass out the DOOR!

And also, in my opinion, greys anatomy is sort of heading down the tubes.....

Sarah said...

Why does Grey's make me think it's OK to date a co-worker?

Marcy said...

LMAO! I ask myself some of those same questions Mommacita!

Tiggs said...

I am not joking when I say I have been wondering pretty much all of these same things...

about myself tho, not about you...lol

Jess said...

What does "jump the shark" mean? I'm just now getting into Grey's and I'm in the 3rd season. Do they ever get less whiny? Because if not, I may be jumping ship on the show.

Xenia said...

LOVE your thoughts! Very much like mine actually.

I also get hungry watching the Biggest Loser. Hmm, glad I'm not alone on that one. :)

ShirleyPerly said...

Ha, great questions. I only know the answer to the last one having been a fitness instructor in the past. I think the answer is simply conditioning. Many are used to exercising for 4-5 hours a day so running a marathon is sort of "normal" in terms of wear and tear on the body.

Tammy said...

Love them!
I thought I was the only one that felt the need to eat junk during the Biggest Loser.

Wes said...

Why ask why? :-)

MePlusMyThree said...

LMAO

I get hungry during BL too. That show Brookhaven both horrifies me and makes me want to eat chocolate.

chia said...

haha, are you sure you're not like my long lost cousin/sister/thing LMAO.

JCPenney's had this black cowl neck dress that seriously made my ass look 10 lbs smaller. Do you have those down there?

Kevin said...

Yeah, I wasnt happy when they changed all the stations around. It seems like the Sirius ones that are gone or were replaced by XM channels were the music ones I listened to most

bill carter said...

Hi Viv

Just read your 10 for Texas and Congratulations! on such a great race. It sounds like you really enjoyed yourself and sometimes I do think you just have to put yourself out there and see how it goes.

It sounds like you are right on pace to get that sub 2:30 and that would be a great accomplishment.

Best of luck.

X-Country2 said...

Don't ever question the pull The Hills has on you. Just go with it. It happens to the very best of us. :o)

Lily on the Road said...

Viv you crack me up...what I need to get a glass of wine to finish reading...brb...

Al's CL Reviews said...

You make me laugh!

sRod said...

I know the answer to the Sirius question: because they're slowing merging the two networks together.

Yea for actually learning something from work.
