One of my kids' favorite commercials, for sure. Sometimes we just yell that out at random moments.
Then Samantha does the squirrel's line in a high squeaky voice.

We have a doggie door! We'll definitely going for more walks and outings this weekend. Including a trip to the pet store (which he loves) to snag another toy or two and maybe a dog bed for the downstairs. His kennel is upstairs but I'm thinking that when we're going to be gone for a few hours we can close off our child gate on the stairs and keep him downstairs instead of the kennel. That way he can eat and poop.
Jane, yes, I've always like that one.

-- Weeza gonna get wet. Tropical Storm Edouard seems to be on a course to put the dirty side of the storm right over our house. Hits just after midnight tonight.
-- Mo fertilized the carpet three more times this weekend for a grand total of six poobombs. Now that RedWifey is home he's back to his happy self.
-- Jack is better too. I didn't really share it here but he had some problems for the few days mommy was gone. Added some stress to the weekend.
-- My bible class yesterday was awesome. I'm finding a way to present lessons that challenge them without freaking them out, while still staying true to my own beliefs. I teach again this Wednesday night on the topic of listening. At least I think that's what they asked me to teach on... I wasn't really paying attention. It'll work out.
-- The 2nd half challenge time has officially begun. Gotta get my four workouts in this week and keep up the piano and career stuff. That will include actually getting a keyboard at some point.
-- During my lunch fasts I often drink some tea at the office. Lately my favorite has been vanilla chai. I like to think of it as the tea that rhymes with "Vanilla Sky", with 80% less crazy Cameron Diaz.

That's still 20% crazy Cameron Diaz. You need read the nutrition labels better.
She was so totally batnutz in that movie that I figured some of it inevitably permeated the entire world. We all got some crazy Cameron rattling around.
I'm going to steal from Aoife now and post a video. I realized that if my piano skills don't develop on plan, perhaps I can just do a good enough editing job to fool you.
This kid is an amazing and creative filmmaker. I love his stuff:
It's wet here but nothing too bad. Still gotta find a way to get my workouts in.

I don't know if you'd be interested or not, but I litter trained Sophie using a specially-designed litter box for dogs (I used the grass/turf) that I had in "her" room, which was the laundry room. She was trained in very short order and I only had 1 poo accident and 2 pee accidents. And, that was right when she first got home and I just think she got lost on the way to the litter box because she didn't know her way around my house yet! After that, it was smooth sailing. I never had to worry about her at all. She would just run off to go whenever she had to do her business.
Thanks, Jane. Mo was already house-trained before we got him and he got the hang of our doggie door right away. His weekend of slipups was surely due to stress of RedWifey being gone and him being alone more than he's used to.
After years of cats I'm not ready to go back to the world of litter boxes yet!
I worked out at the company gym today:
Dynamic warmups
Leg/glute/TFL rehab
DB Snatches
Pushupholds
PNF
Farmer's walks
Had to keep things fairly brief due to schedule and the fact that this was a Rice Krispies cereal workout for me. It had definitely been a while.
I'm off to teach a bible class tonight and then I have a breather, finally. The next two weeks should be much more fitness-focused than the past two.

Bible class was incredibly fun. Not a large group, maybe 50 people. But I spoke about "where we hear God" and got input from the room.
I demonstrated QiGong, we discussed the Eastern Orthodox idea of theosis, and I introduced Bill Hartman-style musclepedia about our bodies as systems instead of random body parts, all with a spiritual application. We talked about recent studies from behavioral scientists and about Evelyn Glennie, the deaf musician.
I so couldn't have gotten away with stuff like that at our last church.
Edit: In other news, I'm probably going to need to wait a little longer before I get the keyboard. Some unforseen events have left us a little light in the budget department, but all should be well in a few weeks. No biggie -- I can still work on reading music until then.

LOL!! Isn't it cool when you can tie fun into something as boring as church?
Oh man... Sorry about the delay in the keyboard. You should go shopping for one and bring your music. That way you can get a sneak practice in. That is how I get guitar practice in when I am out of town without a guitar. I go guitar shopping...

It amazes me that people have the desire to perfect skills like that. It's cool. It's a talent. But damn. I'm too lazy to learn....pretty much anything and we've got people learning how to play music on FOUR telephones, learning Klingon, etc. It's incredible.
there are lots of piano emulators available for free so you can make those notes-to-keys connections and hear sounds without a physical keyboard
it is with a mouse so no muscle memory - but it could do in a pinch. I've used them to suss out a melody line when all I have is the notes and it is unfamiliar
lol, my real keyboard will be about the same price.
YMCA workout today. Story time.
So when I walked in, there my was buddy Obese Elderly Black Man (OEBM). "HEY CHAMP!", he exclaimed. He was, of course, naked, sitting on a stool in front of the mirror and shaving his face.
Next to him was another eldery man. He thankfully was wearing some whitey tighties and was drying himself off with the hand dryer. He was singing "~Gay Paris, gay Paris...~". I didn't know that was actually a song.
I get dressed quickly and went upstairs to the weight area. There's a guy balancing on one leg on a bosu ball, holding a medicine ball in one arm out to his side. He was in front of the mirror, I assume to help in proprioception. Which means he could actually see himself doing that, yet kept doing it. Amazing.
Next was a guy doing 1-arm DB curls with his left arm, while using his right hand to sorta pinch his left shoulder. I think he was trying to maximize bicep isolation. Okay.
My workout went well. Strangely, though, during one of my exercises this popped into my head:
Trainer Chick: So if you're doing rows, you can pick a narrow-grip or wide-grip handle... excuse me, RedLefty, is something wrong?
RedLefty: Yes ma'am. The data on the row is inaccurate.
Trainer Chick: How's that, RedLefty?
Redlefty: Well, I just happened to do both narrow and wide...
Phaedrus: We!
RedLefty: Sorry, Phaed. We did both narrow and wide rows without changing handles.
Trainer Chick: And how did you manage that?
RedLefty: It's classified. I could tell you, but then I'd have to kill you.
Trainer Chick: I assure you I have clearance. Again, how did you do both narrow and wide rows without changing handles?
RedLefty: Well, we
Phaed: Thank you.
RedLefty: We simply moved our hands in or out depending on the type of row we wanted to do.
Trainer Chick: Impossible. The handles can't do that.
RedLefty: I wasn't using a handle. I was on the smith machine. And I was inverted.
Deserve: (coughing...) bullshit!
Phaedrus: No, he was man, it was a great row routine. He was inverted.

Perhaps so. I'll have to think about that one and get back to you, after my bubble bath.
Really, though, I was doing inverted rows and since I'm a movie freak I thought of a scene where "inverted" was the punch line. Is there a hetero movie that has that word as a punch line in a scene? If so, I'd definitely like to change my choice.

You have far more interesting workout stories from the gym. All I have experienced is the guy who sits there and groans like he's having an orgasm while he's doing leg lifts.

A groaner just came into our wrestling group. So we have 2 sweaty men rolling around, grabbing each other, and now a grunter\moaner. Nice.

Well that just paint's a picture I'm not sure I want stuck in my mind

I just remembered this guy at a gym I used to work at - I had blocked it from my memory til I read this thread... He would do chin-ups and pull-ups and get... well... very excited doing them . He always wore those stupid little running shorts that were too short and too thin and... yeeeeeaaaaaahhhh... we couldn't help but notice that he really ENJOYED doing those chin-ups - way too much - and TMI.
I may be up at 3am with nightmares after remembering that one...
Yeah, I feel badly about the fact that there's not more kettlebell in here yet, or heck, even more Screech or Slater. I'm not really living up to the thread title so far.
It is what it is. Financially we're just not going to be able to get KBs for a while. And the ones RedWifey's parents have are too light for the lower-rep work I'm doing right now.
Oh yeah, I worked out again yesterday. Three days in a row:
Pullups (not weak/fat man style)
T-pushups (closed chain superset FTW)
Squat rows
Back extensions
Decline skullcrushers
BB curls
Ab rollouts (ouch)
Wall slides
