Fat Pinch Test

I'm afraid I don't have a good theme for today.  No new dress pics or controversial letters to post.  But, not to worry, the matching shoe pictures should be on there way soon.

So, at my work place, we have a wellness initiative that provides different healthy programs, including the claymation day that you may remember from a previous post.  Part of the WI is a walking program that I don't participate in because I generally like to do other activities like running or yoga or something else instead.  My friend at work, Cheetah Shoes, and I are both walking program haters.  We didn't want to do the 10,000 steps a day that was required for the reason I stated previously.  So, instead of participating, we tried to foil the walking competition by changing the numbers in their stupid excel spreadsheets (team players we are!)

Well, today it was suggested that we create our own team that could do other activities besides walking, but we had to set a goal that was above what we normally do and have a way to assess ourselves.  Naturally, I suggested that our team measure how fit we were by employing the ever-popular high school fitness test - the fat pinch test.  Strangely, nobody wanted be on my team after I suggested that.  My other idea was to have a "crazy week" where we add an extra challenge to our team every once in awhile.  We could have special challenges, like, do an activity you haven't done in a year (like tree-climbing perhaps, but of course that rules me out, that's a daily activity for me).

Anyway, nobody but Cheetah Shoes seems to appreciate my creativity in forming an activity team.  Oh well, we'll see where we end up and if we can recruit anyone to the fat pinching team.

In other news, Brian passed his level one PGA tests today.  He was pretty excited and relieved not to have to worry about it for the rest of the week.  

And, lastly, I'm sure you all already know this, but Brett Michaels has found his rock of love.  It's Ambre!  I was shocked, but oh so happy.  I'm sure that this true love match means that there will be no Rock of Love III.  But, I don't want to speak too soon.  The reunion show is this Sunday, and we'll find out if they're still together.  From the looks of it Heather and Daisy get in a big fight on the show.  Hard to believe that these classy dames can get all bent out of shape on TV.  And, you're welcome for the update!

The tour ends here,

My Latest News Appearance

Well, I sent a letter to the editor of the Denver Post this week, and they printed it. Judging from the comments, I was a hit! And, when I say hit, I mean there may be a witch burning on the capitol steps this week.

http://blogs.denverpost.com/eletters/2008/04/09/a-response-to-tancredo%e2%80%99s-anti-immigrant-stance/

It's admittedly one of my more impassioned letters, where I started getting a tad poetic. I think that just ups the backlash, although, I'd have to go look at my past letters and comments to be sure...

Runners Up

So, I posted the worst of the dresses I tried on...  But, I wanted to post my favorites of all the dresses I tried on (theee dress is not included), because again all pictures of that dress are too revealing and inappropriate for the blog.  I'm saving that for the wedding ceremony!  Please feel free to comment, but know that it would be sacrilege to say you like any of these dresses better than theee dress.

This one I thought was cute.  A little sparkly and bright white though (although that's hard to see in the picture).

I love the top of this one.  I was thinking I could do ivory lace and pale yellow ribbon in the middle....

This one was the poof - iest ones I really liked.  I was seriously considering it until I saw it cost like one million dollars - sonofa!

I especially liked the back of this one (although I would have had a yellow sash)

This one was really pretty too - simple with a nice train (although I didn't want too much of a train).  What am I, a peacock?  

And, with that, I think I'm out of wedding dress blogs.  I've had a good run.  Stay tuned for.... flowers and hotel block!
