"Stuck in the Middle With You"

I’m telling you folks, - I can’t make the shit up about what I am going to blog on today. Hello, my friends! Sorry I took a 2 day hiatus from writing my blog. Saturday I was at a beautiful 50 year wedding Anniversary wedding/celebration of our good friends Dudley and Martha. I was so moved by the commitment they have for each other and all day it made me think and cherish how lucky in love I am with my Fredly. (smile). Now Sunday, that’s another story. We did go to Church and lightning didn’t strike us (LOL), but the rest of the day, I was a big pile of nothing. I cleaned the house, yada, yada, yada- but I snacked and just lounged around the house. I was supposed to do a mile run for time, but I just spaced it off- OK, you guessed it, I totally blew it off. (I cannot tell a lie)

So….I knew it was going to be tough today getting back on the workout wagon, but I did it and man, I feel so much better! (and now I’m pissed that I was a lazy sloth ass yesterday)- oh well, lesson learned. So, I “geared” up and headed over to the Rhodes Bldg where the workout room is at CDC. My favorite treadmill was open (yay), so I jumped on it and started jogging my little heart out. I’m getting into my workout and this skinny little bee-och was on the treadmill to my right. She was power walking her little butt off. Good for her. The bad thing (well, there’s a couple of things…) #1- is she is humming to her music. Great. A hummer. Glad I have my tunes. #2- she is walking at a faster rate than I am jogging. Whore. I start my workout and I can kinda still hear her humming through my head phones (plus I can see her moving her lips in the big mirror in front of us), plus she is kicking my ass walking! (Not that I am competitive or anything…) LOL

Oh, but it gets better…. I am halfway through my workout and Wile E Coyote (from a previous post), jumps on the treadmill to the left me. He does a 5 second stretch and BAM, he has his treadmill cranked up to 9.5 and running like a mofo. Gee, thanks Wile E. He’s taking on more of the roadrunner persona today. So I keep at my 5.0 pace and finish my 1.5 mile workout. Yay for me! But…. The whole time, I had (guess what song) running through my head:

”Clowns to the left of me,
Jokers to the right, here I am,
Stuck in the middle with you”

Now isn’t that appropriate? Bad thing is, I still have the darn song stuck in my head.

Oh, but it gets even BETTER!

After my workout, I remember that I don’t have any meetings this afternoon, so I decide just to stay in my workout clothes and work in my office “comfy”. So I grab my lunch out of our refrigerator on our floor and I am heading back to my office, when one of my colleagues (I will protect his identity- but at least you know it’s a dude- LOL) stops me in the hallway and says, “my you’re dressed a little casual for work today.” (Um, no shit Sherlock.) So I say back to him, “I just got back from working out at Rhodes.” But do you think the convo stops there? Hell to the no. He keeps on comin at me: “You know, they do have showers at Rhodes, matter of fact, they have showers downstairs in this building.” Really? WTF? So what is he telling me? That I smell of sweat? Well, news flash- I probably did. But I hadn’t had time to go “wipe myself down”. I was frickin hungry and wanted to eat my salad. Holy crap balls batman, lay off. I didn’t see your flabby ass over at Rhodes “sweatin to the oldies”. Geez. But then… guess what song came back in my head again? You guessed it:


Yes I'm… stuck in the middle with you,
And I'm wondering what it is I should do,
It's so hard to keep this smile from my face,
Losing control, yeah, I'm all over the place,
Clowns to the left of me, Jokers to the right,
Here I am, stuck in the middle with you.


I’m not going to let this dill weed ruin my glistening, sweaty body. He even had the balls to get in one more zinger before I walked away and he said, “be healthy.” Well, be healthy yourself you piece of lazy ass shit. I worked out dammit! And yes, if I had meetings this afternoon, I would have showered and got back into my nice work clothes. But no, I didn’t BUT I did take a shower as soon as I got home (and before I started typing this blog, mind you). LOL. Ok, I got that off my chest- literally.

So I hope you enjoyed my blog today. You know, there is never a dull moment with me- drama follows me and I love it! It always makes for a good blog entry.

That’s why you’re…. “stuck in the middle with me”. Hahahaha! Later!
