Proof that I have become a card carrying member



These are things I have done, just within the last 48 hours, that qualify my induction:

1. Joined Lifetime Fitness
2. Used my Lifetime Fitness membership to swim, play racquetball and go into the hot tub
3. Woke up stiff after two consecutive days of racquetball and proceeded to wear a neck warmer for a half hour
4. Talked about how I think I am generally dehydrated and will consciously try to drink more water
5. Drove a Suburban to Target
6. Bought school supplies at Target (for myself) and considered buying a purse/tote bag
7. Drove a Suburban to Blockbuster
8. Completed a three-point turnabout to get out of the parking lot at Blockbuster
9. Drove a Suburban to Starbucks, where the barista knew my drink by heart
10. Unloaded the dishwasher and lamented the diminishing amount of space for coffee cups and travel mugs
11. Took the dog to the vet and chatted with the young, tan doctor about heartworm prevention
12. Told a kid under the age of 14 that Weeds may be inappropriate viewing for him
13. Inquired into the housing status of soon-to-be college students
14. Discussed the violence on the show 24 with a friend
15. Discussed the possibility of putting in a backyard fence
16. Grilled chicken on an outside grill on a deck, basting included
17. Picked tomatoes from the garden
18. Drove a Suburban to the Post Office and watched the two older women working, both wearing American flag pins and matching pink lipstick, get into a tiff over the price of renewing a passport

I'm sad for you Lindsay. Tomorrow you'll be wearing "mom jeans" and have a "Bush-Cheney" bumper sticker on your car. Pity, you used to be pretty cool.

p.s. you got Lifetime Fitness membership w/o me!?! And I guess you do more with me not home.

well i think you have a few things keeping you in teh under-40 club these days. a few that come to mind are:
a) your sleep schedule
b) your attire and overall look
c) the way you let 4 year olds talk you into doing (or not) doing things
d) your ability to listen to "rock" music and to listen to music at a volume higher than background noise
e) your rebellion against 9 to 5s

but after a few months in omaha, you are only hanging on by a thread my dear. though i shouldn't talk much, my evenings center around what i think would be a fun and beneficial activity for Rufus and work people think that i can't do anything spontaneous. oh how we age so quickly. keep rebelling. keep rocking.
