gratitude continues


Today I am grateful for a healthy body. I mean being able to walk or run or lolly-gag is really a blessing. I am reminded of this because the other day Greg and I did one of our ridiculously hard cross-fit work outs. I am now reaping the benefits of this workout. The benefits of soreness. My arms right now are so sore that it makes it difficult, if not impossible, to pull my hair in a ponytail. Forget about washing my golden locks - I can't get my arms above my head to master the task.

I'm grateful that the person in your clipart is wearing a strategically-placed towel around while washing his/her hair. Although I suppose if it is "his hair" it's not a problem.

I'm also grateful for post-workout soreness and, equally grateful for Advil's magical powers.

I'm so sore that it's hard typing this comment.

oh, is that a towel in the clip art? I thought it was a crocheted halter top.

The inability to wash your hair takes me back to the blog post of yours from so long ago where you announced to the world that you practically never wash your hair. It's like we've come full circle on this blog.

I'd also like to know what Lindy was doing getting close to the goose's jaws of death. Honestly, what were you thinking? It's not like she hasn't bitten you before. That child is dangerous and until you strap her into a straight jacket and Hanibal Lecter-like face mask you just can't trust her.

I also have some post-workout soreness in my left quad. The thing is, I haven't been working out. Do you think that I have been sleep weight-lifting? But I am glad that you are so dedicated so that you can inspire me!!!

Also Toddcat, you would be surprised at how quickly that tiny mouth can move from just eating a book to the fleshy spot on your arm. It's faster than the blink of an eye.

Two, no three things.
1. Good job being grateful.
2. Did I miss the post on your halloween costumes?
3. Lindy, why did you make your blog private and then not invite me?

Lindy probably made it private after watching KSL's special report on the dangers of blogging. It was right after the lead story of how people are leaving zucchini in neighbor's cars when they aren't looking.

When I was a freshman in college there was actually a lead story on the evening news about a woman who had find a giant tricycle that she thought she had lost. Utah news always makes me shake my head a little. The good news is that there aren't enough dangerous crimes to report to need the time slots! Aside from the zucchini thing, obviously.

Shana--I need your email address for the blog invite! Clearly you did not follow the instructions listed on the going private post. I guess I'll forgive you, because I like your curly hair. Mine never could hold a style.

Email me your email address at ljlangston@gmail.com.

Please share the infamous workout so I can do it. I want an excuse not to wash my hair.
