Sweat

So I have now experienced my first East Coast thunderstorm (well, first since I was like 6). It was very exciting, especially since I made it to my house just as the sky completely opened up. Now is is pouring and thundering and such, and I am cooking some dinner and just watching it all happen from my dry air conditioned house. I also found my gym today, and had an amazing workout. I visited on Friday, and at that point I thought $99 for the summer was a little high, but after doing some price checking, I realized this was a damn good deal, and went back in today to join. This gym is amazing. It is almost as nice as the Amgen Gym (thought we'd never find that, Joy). It has all these perfumes and lotions on the bathroom counters, they give you towels, there is shampoo and such, hair driers and curlers (random), TVs, they give you locks for your lockers...maybe I have been living in the ghetto at 24 hours, I might never want to go back (too bad I am under contract for basically the rest of my life). I feel so spoiled. Anyway, so for those of you who are wondering, I spent an hour and a half at the gym, watched the entire episode of Oprah from the elliptical, and then did some much needed weight lifting. My arms are already mad at me.

ON another note, something that Kelly have talked about often. Does anybody else think that when Pat gives the wheel his final sping on Wheel of Fortune it is pre taped? I mean, seriously, it almost always lands on the $5000 space these days. The probability of it happening so often is unreal. So yea, we think it is pre taped. Our other theory is that Pat has been spinning the wheel for so long that he knows how hard to spin it to get to the $5000 space. Either way, it just seems wrong. (I am watching Wheel of Fortune while typing this).

Anyway, so yea, life in DC is fantastic thus far. I think that the heat is bearable, and the humidity can be handled if you just accept that sweating is part of life. I have done this, and therefore, have no problems with it. At least I don't have allergies like I did in Sacramento. And I have free air conditioning. It could be worse.

So yes, Colleen, you could handle it, and if you would like to visit me to check it out, that might be ok as well.
