I don't WANNA walk this morning, you can't MAKE me!
|
*Grumble*
6 freakin' oclock in the morning! Whose idea WAS this?!?
*Swear* it's MUGGY! I'm going to sweat like mad! Great!
Where are my shoes? WHO MOVED MY WALKING SHOES??
I'm not going out there without iced water...
why isn't there more ice in here...oh Joy!
The icemaker isn't working correctly!
I'm going to sit on this step and put on my shoes
and THEN I'll decide if I wanna go walk or not, I'm still not sure.
It'd be so nice to just go take a cool shower and then go lie naked in my bed and let the fan breeze over me while I read my book.
I'm at a really interesting chapter...I wanna go read it so badly!
Six weeks. I've read that's how long it takes to break a habit or form a new one.
Six weeks.
Six weeks of not wanting to get up this early and walk!
*Frown*
I've made commitments. How bad do I want this? Enough to go walk?
Am I gonna just sit on this step and gripe?
No I'm going...besides, Marge is gonna ask me if I've been keeping up my walking!
*frown*
Ok Ok I'm GOING!.........
A long sip of cold cold iced water, mmmmmmm it's so good.
I'll just settle my cup on this tree stump beside my rocks.
I remember reading that Kim said she used to pick up pebbles to keep count of how far she had gone.
And there are my pebbles still there from Monday. *little smile*
I like the way they look laying there.
They represent more than just laps to me...Ok I'm off.
First lap..
I HATE laps! I'd rather just measure out a place and make one big huge lap,
but oh well, this is the best I can do.
It's not safe for me to walk on the road, so laps it is!
The warm sweet smell of hay as I pass the barn... that's kinda nice.
Morning ladies, mooo to you too,
ok I'll crack a smile at ya.
Sing Melissa sing! I love having you singing in my ears as I walk.
Well looky there, a minature sunflower, golden yellow,
it's face lowered waiting for the sun to rise.
Don't worry the sun will be up soon, then you can turn your face up toward it.
You're awfully pretty
There's a rock for this lap.
In my hand it is powdery and my nails pick the dirt that is caked into it's crevices as I step.
I hate this part of my lap! Grass! Foo!
I should just step over to the road...HEY LOOK.. a little toad.
What have YOU been doing? Are you up early or late little guy?
Does your wife know where you are? You need some compound W dude!
Whew lap one nearly over...good! I'm hating this!
At least I can pause and get a sip of water. Ohhhhh it is so good.
And look, my rock looks nice there nestled with the others I'm going to find another...off I go.
Lap 2
The barn is so pretty. A fresh coat of paint on it.
Built in 1888.
You were around even before my grandmother was born, perhaps even before my great grandmother was born.
You're looking good for your age!
My eyes lowered to the cinders and there are my footprints from lap number one.
I think I like the look of that.
The horizon is hazey. It's so humid.
But the air is cool as I cut through it.
My muscles are beginning to warm up.
Little droplets of sweat are forming up there on my forehead.
This does feel kinda nice
A blinking light ahead on a tower, way up in the sky.
It looks kind of like a really tall really skinny lighthouse.
Do I smell the ocean? Oh Kelly, you're insane!
And there in front of me about 15 feet is 'the' rock.
I'm coming to get you.
You're not quite as dirty as your brother was.
But you feel cool and nice in the palm of my hand!
Sing Melissa sing!
Up the last stretch...I hope my ice hasn't melted much.
That water is gonna taste so good!
MMMMMMMMmmmmmm it's heavenly! Cold Cold Cold!
And there you go Mr Rock, you lay there with your brother!
You guys are looking GOOD!
Lap 3
Family reunion.
I'm chosing you early, you're going to be so happy to be sitting on that tree stump with the other rocks.
You stand for lap 3. What an honor for you.
You're a little smoother than the others. I think you've got a bit of flint in you.
I cannot believe I'm seeing what I'm seeing... a horny rabbit! Oh get a room, would you!
*grumble-giggle*
Hey, I think I can step this up a bit.
So, I'm not walking 4 miles in the morning like others,
at least I'm doing THIS...and I kinda like the way my butt wiggles
while I'm trying to keep up with the beat of this song
Sparrows dancing in the sky, are they a family?
How pretty they are darting and circling.
Whelp that toad must have gotten home, wonder if his wife was angry.
I don't think he was up to any good.
I hope she gives him heck!
Commere #407. Your nose is wet and warm.
You're awfully pretty with that white heart shape centered perfectly in the black fur of your forehead.
I'm gonna bring you an apple tomorrow morning.
TOMORROW Morning???? WAIT a minute!....
I'm going to do this again tomorrow??
Ok there you go Mr. Rock. Have a big time there among your brothers.
Gimme that water.
My ice is melting, but the water is still really cold.
MMMMMMmmmmmm this is nice.
Lap 4
Last lap! Oh bliss!
One more and I'm DONE!
Sing Melissa sing!
There's that rabbit, I think he's looking for a cigarette!
Go take a nap buddy, I think you need a little rest!
I'm sweating to beat the band, but this is feeling pretty good.
Aw look that sunflower is about to lift it's head.
Gotcha, you're filthy,
but you're huge and you'll make a great addition to my little rock pile there on that tree stump!
Area patrol, I'm busted!
No I'm not an escaped convict, I'm just a farmers wife
hoofing it around the pasture is all.
You're fresh faced. I bet this is your first 'real' job,
you can't be more than 21.
You're head is all shaved and your uniform crisp looking.
What a beautiful smile you have, and your breath is warm and I can
smell coffee on it even from this distance.
I bet you have a pregnant wife at home and she was your highschool sweetheart,
I betcha, I betcha!
I think I like you.
Yep, I'm gonna be here every morning, so I'm a fixture, get used to me.
WHAT...I'm going to be here EVERY morning???
Did I SAY that???
I hear the truck. I can't see it yet, but he needs to fix that muffler.
Dwayne is going to work, that means my walk is over...
well ......well....ok then.
Here he comes.
Smooch through the lowered window. He's really handsome.
Was he that handsome last night when he was snoring like a lumberjack?
He smells yummy. I bet I smell like a locker-room.
I'm sweating?? No! You're a genius!
Have a good day Honey.
Nope, not done, I'm going to do one more lap!
WHAT? Where did THAT come from? Another Lap???
A quick sip and a toss of the rock and I'm off.
Lap 5
I didn't even expect to be taking this lap!
Look at all those footprints in the cinders.
I'm proud of myself!
Really I should have gotten up earlier so I could get more laps in.
WHAT? Am I insane??
A Dandy-flower A whole little grove of them.
That's what Anna calls them "Dandyflowers.' Not dandylions.
They're not weeds to her, they're flowers.
They are pretty Why didn't I notice them during laps #1-4?
Ok you come here, I"ll pet your head. You smell like leather.
I WILL bring you an apple tomorrow morning Miss #407.
I'll not tell you that Dwayne wants beef for dinner!
You are a very special rock, you are!
You represent lap #5.
You were not planned for. You just happened. You lucky thing you!
Melissa!!! did you just say what I THINK you said?
Did you sing to me....
"You'll wake up tomorrow and wrestle the sorrow that holds you down today?"
Oh I love your voice. I love your music!
But I won't wake up like that tomorrow! I'll WANT to come out here and get my walk in!
I"ll WANT to sweat like this! I'll WANT to bring that apple out to #407.
(Maybe I oughtta give her a name!) Won't I?
I hate sweaty clothes! They're so hard to get out of, why can't I just walk naked??
Oh this cool shower is just heavenly.
Thank you God for showers and cool water.
A quick towel off, some fresh ice and I'm filling my cup,
and I'm off to post at 'THE' site.
Is there any other? They'd die if they new I'm nekkid while I type my morning post!
Oh well, they'll never know. Should I type out the thoughts I had while I walked?
It helped me get through, maybe I will Ok...I will...here goes
Six weeks to break a habit or form a new one. Hmmm Well, nearly one week down!
