I’m on day 5 of my relationship with my dissolvable stitches. Have they dissovled yet?! You ask. Well, no. But those stitches looking pretty awesome! After a day at the office of watching the snowfall, I of course came home to a snowy driveway. So, I put on my Vancouver 2010 Olympic gear and headed out to cross train- shovelling style. I brought along my ipod and the first song to play was a guilty pleasure I have… First name: Enrique. Last name: Iglesias. It’s true, I don’t know what it is but ALL of his songs become guilty pleasures of mine. I will even admit that I was sooooo close to buying his greatest hits on itunes the other day. And I would be lying if I said that was the first time I have ever thought about buying that album. As Enrique was serenading me with his song Tonight (I’m F**kin’ You). (I told you it was a dirty kind of cross training! It might not be like the time I did chair dancing for a cross training workout but my Enrique still has that dirty flare!) As I was breaking all the ice on my driveway and putting it onto the grassy lawn I couldn’t help but think how everyone has some kind of dirty escape. Some people who have children have to wait until their kids go to bed so they can watch inappropriate shows like Weeds and Entourage. But for me- I have my ipod. I love being able to put on whatever kind of music I want and be in any kind of mood that the music makes me feel. It’s kind of like walking into the sexy section at Chapters but this way you are the only one aware of where your mind is at. Or secrectly watching those spanish soap operas on TLN. So with my dirty bit of tunes, I was keeping warm instead of freezing in the -11 degrees Celsius without the wind chill. Another favourite came on as I was shovelling The Orion Experience- Obsessed With You:
My Obsession lately? How I Met Your Mother. I’m busting through season four right now and I cannot get enough of it. Lily and Marshall’s dirty bit relationship just might be my favourite. And the Marathon episode (Lucky Penny, Season Two, Episode 15) is seriously legen-wait for it-dary. If you haven’t seen it- I highly recommend it.
