2002-07-02 - 9:39 p.m. On the internal soundtrack: "It's The End of the World As We Know It", by whoever it is that sings that song. My husband has this weird but amusing way of taking something I say and turning it into a lewd suggestion, in the form "I'll X your Y, baby." The other day, for example, I picked up a slice of pound cake at 7-11 to eat during the movie. It was awful, so I only ate one bite. But Poindexter saw it sitting on the table, and the following conversation ensued: Poindexter: What's that? When I was at the dollar store a couple weeks ago, I picked up some temporary tattoos. I love those things. I like the idea of a tattoo, and flirted with the idea of getting one when I was younger, but decided I'd rather keep it as an option rather than a built-in. So, I got these fake tattoos that are like ornate circles. I figured I'd put them at the small of my back, like Scully in "Never Again", except hers was a snake biting its tail. Something that would peek above my waistband when I was wearing my low-cut jeans. Anyway, I can't reach the small of my back, so I lay down on the bed after a shower and demanded that Poindexter put it on for me. He was half watching Howard, so it didn't go as smoothly as I had anticipated. He started to peel off the backing, and then: Poindexter: Uh-oh. So now we joke about my "crooked tattoo" and he has promised it will not be crooked next time. Good thing it's not a real one. :) I've noticed that although I never drive anymore, I'm not getting real cardiovascular exercise out of walking my errands (probably because it's so hot). So I noticed when I do try to walk fast, I huff and puff. I'm dreadfully out of shape. So, in addition to doing aerobics indoors more often, I decided that I would stop using the elevator, and pretend I live in a fifth floor walkup. So far, the first three floors don't faze me much. But the last floor is hard. Then it takes me awhile to recover. I think my recovery time is getting shorter, though. I read somewhere that your fitness level can be gauged in party by how long it takes you to stop huffing and puffing after exertion. I wonder if that's true. If so, my goal is not to be huffing and puffing anymore by the time I get from the stairway down the hall into the apartment. We shall see.
