Everybody ZUMBA!!
My friend Julie and I have joined a health club near my office and we have agreed to push each other to get there at least 3 times a week. Tonight was Zumba [not to be mistaken for Zombo] night!
Our instructor today was a female body builder or maybe just a trainer but she did say that she was in a competition last weekend and then she struck this pose and I could have sworn it was a one just like I’ve seen Hulk Hogan do. She has a heck of a sense of humor and she really got us motivated to do lots of sexy shakin’ of The Butt.
My kids keep asking me what I want for Mother’s Day and after tonight’s Zumba session.. I have it! I want some proper dance/exercise shoes like these:
They will be totally worth it too since wearing a pair of cross-trainers that stick to the floor every time you try to do a simple shuffle or merengue really hurts your body and not in a “GREAT I’ve really worked out!” kinda way. It’s more like “Holy hell! what have I done to my poor body?” or maybe even the “did you get the license plate of the truck that just ran over me?” kinda way.

But I’m not.. because I’ve taken up this stupid obsession with World of Warcraft. Yes. I said World of Warcraft. It’s just a beautifully done game and I’ve always been a sucker for quests and cooperative gaming.
I have a level 27 human rogue and a level 24 gnome warrior - I play on Cairne and if you want to run along with me - drop in a comment and we can meet up for bashing and slashing :)
(but not right now.. I’m going to bed)

So, there’s something wrong with something at Windstream.. I cannot access my own site! I *can* use LiveWriter to update my site.. how is that even possible? I would call them to see what’s up but I don’t want to speak to the incredibly polite yet unbelievably inept offshore Indian help desk.
My suspicion is that a DNS server is horked up somewhere along the line and it will resolve itself.

I just checked and it’s back up.. I can now post this entry :)

I just installed Firefox on my new laptop - isn’t it ironic that I had to use Explorer to do so?

Lots of people have been talking about this nifty tool but I finally got a chance to check it out myself and I have deemed it to be … Nifty!
You send a text message to 34381 with the name of the restaurant and the menu item and it will quickly return the calories, fat, carb, and protein stats to you. This makes it easier to choose the right food when you’re in the drive-thru line.
I’ve been trying to cut fast food out of my diet for a while now but so far I’ve only been able to keep McDonald’s out of my life. The big reason McD’s is out for me is that the location near my work is so poorly managed and staffed - I never get what I want the first time and when I do it’s completely half-ass made. The fast food I eat the most (which is to say, at least one lunch a week) is Burger King. I recognize that fast food is just plain bad for yah but I’m all about the service and quality of the food (not nutritionally of course). This BK, no matter how busy they are gets me in and out of the drive-thru in under 7 minutes. In ShanWorld - that’s a gingerpeachy thing.
