I may be in the scooter/moped market in the near future.  For reasons that are an entire blog posts worth on their own, and I’m not going there quite yet.  Anyway…

anyone have one?  do ya like it?

Is it wrong to use those expensive “e2″ lithium batteries in an electric toothbrush?  My mom puts these batteries in my christmas stocking every year.  I never use them.  Everything I own that’s electronic is rechargabe.  Except my cheapo Crest electric toothbrush.  Which seems a waste of the battieries superior “e2″ power.  However, my teeth are now really REALLY squeaky clean.  Powerfully clean.

awkward moment at curves.  actually, two awkward moments, both involving the same woman.  I’ve seen her there before.  But I noticed her today because oh my god, her highbeams were on.  Good lord woman, I can SEE that you’re wearing a sports bra.  Those things are supposed to squash everything DOWN.  and it’s NOT cold in here.  Do you have those inserts in there?  Seriously.  Turn those things down.

As I was finishing up my workout, I overheard her talking to one of the employees about the 6-week program, which is that diet I was on earlier.  She’s interested.  So I stopped to chat, letting her know what it was about…carefully keeping my gaze at her face (jeebus, woman, you are working out!  those things must be made of diamond!)  One of the things I told her was that I had difficulty fitting in all the little meals you’re supposed to eat, because I got home from work so late, that by the time I ate dinner, it was too late to squeeze in another snack.  that’s when she came out with this gem:

“Yeah, by the time I get home from work, and then shower…well, I don’t ALWAYS shower.  Because by the time I get home, you know, I’m not really sweaty anymore…so anyway, by the time I get home…”

WHOA, WHOA, WHOA…why on EARTH did she feel the need to share THAT disgusting bit of information???  Now I’m the first to admit, I don’t shower every day - not good for my skin.  But I ALWAYS shower after working out.  Because you’re not washing off the sweat, lady.  You’re washing off the funk that the sweat leaves behind!  Ew ew EW!  However I see that she is not wearing a ring, so I’m guessing the only offense is to her…I’m guessing…three cats at home.  She seems the type.
And another thing, WHY do people feel the need to share these little tidbits of their disgusting lives with me?  I am forever sharing uncomfortable elevator rides with people who have blurted out things like “boy, I’m glad it’s the end of the day, my corns are KILLING me!  Hahaha!”

What do you SAY to that?  “sorry about your nasty ass feet?”  STOP SHARING THESE THINGS WITH ME, ANONYMOUS STRANGERS!

This probably goes along with my dislike of going into the bathroom, and then using the same stall I just saw someone I’m familiar with come out of. 9 times out of 10, it’s OK.  But on that 10th time, I really don’t want to have to pass you in the hallway every day and think “hey, there goes pees-on-the-seat-and-doesn’t-clean-it-up girl.”  Or “leaves-a-floater” woman.

I have issues.
