Okay. You Keep Telling Yourself That

From one of today’s Chemistry.com matches whose profile proudly says he is a 36 year old male living in Santa Monica.

“I’m kind, compassionate and loving, yet I’m a “total Dude” who loves sports, working as a sculptor and volunteering for The Make A Wish foundation. I’m 46 not 36, I lowered my age so I wouldn’t show up in too many searches, Not ashamed of my age, because age is just a number to me, it all depends on the person and their life’s experiences. “

OOOOkay. That’s the story we are going with huh? Okkkkkkaaaaay buddy. So you are telling me you think there is a HUGE rush of people searching out 46 year olds? Sooooo much more demand, in general, for 46 year olds than 36? Has nothing to do with you being misleading or you not wanting to date women your own age.

I’m cool with that logic. I’ll happily start telling people I’m 26.

PS. You are an asshat.

Chemistry has AGAIN matched me up with this ass – (click here for previous blog). ARE YOU KIDDING ME. ARE …. YOU … KIDDING … ME…..????!!!

The only difference is that this time he has a picture up (well he has two pictures up BUT IT IS THE SAME PICTURE BECAUSE HE IS AN IDIOT) so now I know what he looks like. He looks like Jimmie Walker from Good Times. BUT without the Good Times. In fact he is very very somber and will most likely kill a number of his wives, if he hasn’t already.

That’s the last straw. Chemistry.com is getting a strongly worded letter from me on this!

The Wendy Uniform – Comfort Is Number One

crazy talk, Exercise

Emails from Lucy and Lululemon usually go to my spam email folder. I’ve never changed this since it is a GOOD thing. I can’t bear to unsubscribe. This way I feel like I’m still getting the information from these fabulous stores without actually seeing them and falling into their trap. THAT IS WHAT HAPPENS. The email above made it through my spam filter and found it’s way to my inbox. It’s like poison. What happens when I see words like “exclusive deals” and “free shipping” is that I can’t help but to click on it. I’m powerless against it. Then I get sucked into the following logic:
* I have 10 million pairs of work out pants but these are more than 50% off. How can I not buy them?
* Just yesterday I was saying I need to replace a few of my work out tanks. Why not do that now?
* I can wear this in my everyday life not just working out so totally worth it.

Next thing I know my “cart” is full of lovely lovely lovely items and my pocketbook (electronic of course) is feeling the pain.

Here is the thing. I like to be comfy. It’s kind of a new thing for me. Earlier in my life (like a year ago … ) I would refuse to go out in my “work out” gear. I’d rather die then go meet friends for lunch in anything but a dress or fancy jeans. AND shoes … tennis shoes were for working out and that was it! Going out required heels, fancy sandals, or fashionable boots. Tennis shoes were not a part of my regular wardrobe. In fact a few years ago (maybe a few more than a few) I made a trek out to what was, at that point, a new place for me – Lucy’s. I had discovered that their work out pants were far superior to my generic Target brand and worth the extra cash. While at the store I couldn’t help but notice that they were selling the brand as a lifestyle. One for young moms who felt the need to be sporty while still being semi stylish. I laughed out loud (and may have pointed in my mocking way) at a t-shirt that said “Got Kid?”. Who would wear that stupidity?

Me. Now. Well maybe not the “Got Kid?” shirt since that is really kinda dumb and I don’t have kids so would be misleading and somewhat creepy. BUT I do own a number of Lucy t-shirts, tanks, and long sleeve ts. Most with some design that someone thought was “sporty yet stylish” in that “young mom” way. AND I LOVE THEM. I LOVE THEM ALL. You are hard pressed to find me outside of work in ANYTHING but work out pants, t or tank, and tennis shoes. I LOVE BEING COMFY … IT FREAKIN’ ROCKS.

Now here is the kicker. I’ve never been able to stomach breaking down and wearing the Wendy Uniform to work. Even on casual Friday’s I pull out the fancy jeans and high heal sandals. It won’t last. I’m telling you that right now. One of my co-workers/friends, who introduced me to Lululemon, informed me she wears Lululemon gear to work all the time. Even going as far as wearing the pants instead of work slacks. SHUT IT! HOW EXCITING IS THAT? AND she is super fashion chick. Since she has said that I’ve noticed the little Lululemon ohm sign thing on some of her work outfits and think, “BY GOD SHE IS DOING IT. SHE IS LIVING MY DREAM.” Today I noticed our receptionist had a fashionable pair of pants on … WITH THE LULULEMON OHM SIGN THING ON IT. So you see. It’s only a matter of time before the Wendy Uniform really is all I wear!

People I Want To Be

bar method, Exercise

The muscle that is on the back of my thigh (I have no idea what it is called) is screaming with pain. I’m fully aware of the reason. It’s from doing fold over two nights in a row at Bar Method.

I often consider just not going to class. What is the point of an hour long work out that has me shaking, sweating, and in pain for not only the length of the class but long after? Then I get a visual of my teachers in my head and think, “so I can look like them.” THAT’S WHY.

The picture here is of the co-owners of the Pasadena Bar Method studio I go to. Adorable right? Combine them, soak them in water, and I will STILL be heavier then them. Seriously their thighs are the size of my wrist. I will never be as tiny as them. EVER. First of all I my height alone has me TOWERING over them. I’m like an Amazonian in their classes (in a good way — like Wonder Woman or Xena — at least give me that — let me think my giant-ness can be spun into a positive). The only way I’m matching their weight is if I stopped eating and moving for 6 months.

One day a teacher walked into the studio to lead our class. She usually teaches at a different location but was checking out Pasadena. The second I saw her I thought “HER! I WANT TO LOOK LIKE HER!” She was crazy fit, no question, but not crazy tiny. Her arms were perfect, legs slim and long, and stomach beyond flat. Now when I start to think about ditching a class I think, “nope … how will I ever look like Marin if I don’t go?”. Marin is my body hero and my goal is to be just like her!

I read in the Bar Method blog that Marin (not to be confused with Marnie) is in one of the next exercise DVD’s coming out. She is the one in the periwinkle tank pictured here (click). Don’t you love her? I should just go ahead and photoshop my face on top of hers (not in a creepy way) so I can have a picture of my ending goal!

(BTW the guy in the picture next to her taught a class at Pasadena once. I’ve NEVER seen a room full of women giggle and try so hard IN MY LIFE. It was almost embarrassing. When the normally scheduled teacher was back the next week she had obviously heard of the transformation her class went through and as individuals in the class crumbled and gave into the pain she exclaimed, “If I was a cute boy you all would be trying harder. Didn’t think I’d hear about that did you?”)

So that is my goal. I’m going to Bar Method myself into becoming Marin (again not in a creepy way).

Maybe it will be Simplier if You Tell me What Love Isn’t

Oh Chemistry your failure today is mind blowing.

His headline – I need someone who will love me noting but love .

In his own words – Love can be everything. My love is true. Love is unpredictable. Love is uncontainable. Love is reliable. Love is infallible. Love is right . Love is wrong. Love is weak. Love is strong. Love is good. Love is pure. Love is real. Love is sure. Love is jealous. Love is pain. Love is lost Love is gained Love is naked Love is raw Love is everything Love is all Love is here Love is there Love is beautiful Love is fair Love is great. Love is shit. Love is hate, Love is demanding. Love is it….Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, While loving someone deeply gives you courage. ? ? ?

Why is that a question? There are most definitely a number of run on sentences in there but I don’t see any questions. Certainly not one that justifies three question marks.

I actually almost passed this guy on to my “I’m interested” list even though his profile is SCREAMING of red flags. That is until I read this:

  • About His Religious Background: Am a good christian having fear of God in my life, i dont joke with church and regular even when am sick.

That is the red flag that pushed me over the edge. No need to continue. It won’t work. Chemistry.com once again you failed.
