Lisa Hears a Who

I took my 4 year old to the movie Horton Hears a Who the other day. And as I was sitting there trying to stay awake at the matinee surrounded by a packed house of everyone else in town with the same idea on a dreary Sunday...my mind began to wander.
Do you ever think that we could be living on a tiny speck on a flower and some giant elephant is protecting us? I mean seriously, don't you ever look up to the sky and just think that there are beings watching us, manipulating our universe to see the reprocussions of their actions. Or some creature is right now running through the jungle carrying the flower that holds our speck of a universe trying to find a safe spot. That is WAY beyond the plot of the movie obviously but it gets you thinking. Or like the other Jim Carrey movie The Truman Story where there is town inside a bubble and the people get to watch his life every day on TV. I would guess that if this were true, my life would be set to the season pass setting on everyone's TiVo. "Ha....look at her, what in the hell is she thinking wearing that? Oh my god, the poor thing look at her husband sitting on the couch again. I bet he went out and drank last night. When is he going to learn. Wow, she really needs to hire a decorator. When is she going to learn some discipline, those kids are terrors! Get over it lady, no matter how many sit ups you do, you will never be able to wear those pants again." Can't you hear it.
One of my all time favorite shows is Big Brother...(in fact getting pumped up right now for tonights show! ) But can't you see it, the rest of the world watching the show of my life. Popping their popcorn, putting the kids to bed early, snuggling on the couch, watching my reality show! I just wish I had a diary room to spill my secrets, and trash talk everyone. Its a good thing I can't get voted out of my own life, or I am sure I would be the first to go!
Horton, can you hear us!

She Bangs She Bangs.....and she falls off the treadmill

My new thing lately has been trying to exercise more. I have been doing really good, getting up at 5:30 each morning and walking on the treadmill and doing sit-ups. Not quite ready for turbo class at the Y yet but getting there. My husband and I are planning a trip to Jamaica sometime in the next millenium and I want to look presentable in a swimsuit....fast forward to my topic.

So I have been searching high and low for songs that can get my sleepy ass moving at 5:30 in the morning. My current favorite is Ricky Martin's "She Bangs" The one that was butchered on American Idol by the chinese guy, who then released it himself with a video....horrible. I prefer the original version. So when this song hits the ipod it gets me movin and groovin! So much groovin, in fact I fell off the treadmill! Picture it now.....I am walking along walking along and then my song comes on and I start struttin my stuff on the treadmill. I start waving my arms and doing some salsa steps and the next thing you know....whoosh off the back and slam into the wall. Even though there was no one around to see it, I still had to look to make sure. Thankfully I didn't get hurt, or that would put a stop to the dumb treadmill for sure! Maybe next time I better pause for a few minutes and just dance on the floor! She Bangs She Bangs...Oh Baby and she moves she moves.... Just a heads up for you treadmill dancers out there, you need to be careful!
(side note....holy crap!!! My exclamation point works again. I don't believe it. See previous entry no emotion to get the whole story. I have missed you exclamation point! WoW!! I feel so alive again!)
