hippity skippity.

So I was at the gym yesterday--ya know, just getting ripped--and even though I had headphones in, I could hear someone's voice.  I pulled out my ear phones and looked in the direction of the noise to find:

 

Yes, singing at along to her music with a smile on her face like she had just won the lottery, kissed a boy for the first time, and found out that DVR exists all at the same time.  But not only was she accomplishing grinning from ear to ear while singing, but she was skipping and marching (and I'm not exaggerating/adding fluff . . . literally skipping and marching) barefoot on the treadmill. 

I don't think I've ever seen anyone so happy to be working out.  Let alone anyone so happy with life.  I want to know her secret.  As I watched her, I was imagining ways to get a video for you all to see . . . but I don't think there's any way I could.

Campaigning

Hey all!
Sorry I haven't been too good at posting or commenting but I am reading all the posts and they always give me a good laugh. So here is a story of my own:

Today I went to Delaware, yes Delaware. I had to be up at 7:30 this morning then drove 2 hours to a town festival in Milford Delaware. I was helping campaign for our one and only Mitt Romney. He had to get 500 signatures to be put on the primary ballot. So I walked around this cute town festival asking all kinds of people if they were republican. The dialogue went a little something like this:
      me: "Excuse me, are you a registered republican voter?"

The answers to this question varied:
      person: "Yes I am can we please get the democrats out of there?"
        Usually with an American flag on their shirt

      person: "haha you wash your mouth out little lady for asking me that question"
        These people were an old couple that looked like republicans

      person: "I am a felon and can't vote" (one of my personal favorites)
         All the tattoo folk

      person: "Is he that mormon guy? Well I like Perry"
           People sitting on their lawn chairs while eating hotdogs and drinking beers

      person: "I am a democrat but wished I was republican"
            Old grandma's and grandpa's

      person: "I am an independent" (otherwise known as I'm not signing anything)
              Everything else you could think of

Well I ended up with 21 signature and as a group we had 250 so I felt pretty good about it. And the best news was that along the way I got plenty of business cards to host jewelry parties, entered countless contests (none of which I won), and got to people watch till 5:00 at night.
