Kareoke at the GYM!

First, I have to wish all of our faithful readers a HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!! Second, I have some pretty darn funny stories to share with you all from the gym that I work out at. Ok, so this gym that I work out at now is really nice, each treadmill has it's own individual tv and recently they have started playing these music videos from a DVD player so if you want to watch them rather than plain old tv you can. So, first I have to remind you that in this country people love Kareoke...many of these music videos are basically KTV (short for kareoke) videos...they have the words on the bottom of the screen. So, one day I'm running at the gym and all the sudden this old guy next to me with a huge beer belly starts singing at the top of his lungs along with the video...it was SO stinkin funny. Don't think you would see that going down at a gym in the states. Second, I have to tell you about this other middle aged guy that recently has become an exercise fanatic...the problem is that he does everything crazy and wrong. You know, he does squats or something and does them all crazy and stuff. But the funniest thing is that this guy has zero shame. So, at our gym in the evenings there are all kinds of aerobic classes...latin dancing, belly dancing, kick boxing, step, etc. This homeboy does all of them...but the thing is that homeboy has ZERO rhythm and no matter how many times he does the classes his rhythm does NOT in ANY way improve. So, last week we're doing kick boxing and your supposed to be facing the front of the room moving forward punching and he's facing the wrong way going opposite and almost punches this lady in the face. My favorite, however, is watching A) A guy and B) a guy with no rhythm try to do belly dancing. A) In my opinion, no guy should ever do belly dancing, period, end of story...let alone a guy with no rhythm. It's actually a little painful to watch him try to swing his hips around and shake his bon bon. You guys should see it...you would be laughing for days. I love Chiner.

My Favorite Caleb Story...

Meet Caleb & the women who love him. Our friend Caleb was breakin off his dance moves the other night at the wedding which got Ross & I talking about just how much we love him. Which eventually brought us around to our favorite Caleb story of all time.

Before I tell you this story--I must share that Caleb is the nicest person you will ever meet & always has the best of intentions. So, Caleb works at the Ritz & did during my time there. For a few months he was at the front desk which is the spot where you deal with the most angry guests at the end of their stay & it's also the place where guests get the first impression of their stay. One day, I'm not sure if the guest was coming or leaving, but Caleb asked him, "What's your name sir?" The guest said, "Dick." Being completely sincere & referring to resemblances of someone he knows, Caleb says, "Oh, you look like a Dick." Ummmm...can we just say this story was the talk of the hotel for months. Thanks Caleb! We love you!

A Jack Story

So, when we were home in Texas my favorite time was hangin with my nephew Jack. As you can see, he got a sweet new cardboard castle. 99% of the time I was at his house, we were upstairs in the castle. At one point we were in the castle & it was night time in the castle. We were laying with our heads smashed into the corner (mine b/c it couldn't fit anywhere else & his b/c he wanted the corner) & I was pretending to be asleep by fake snoring. I peaked my eyes open & listened intently only to hear Jack saying, "HONK, SHOE. HONK, SHOE." I immediately started laughing & poked him telling him he was a goose. And what did he do? He giggled & poked me saying, "You're the goose." I love the Jackster.

And Another One Bites The Dust...

Beautiful Tabitha got tied the knot with Tim today! Fun times had by all in sunny Colorado!

See You On The Other Side, Gunther!!

I miss you already!!

Rest assured, Gunther is in Heaven. I know because he chased the light like no dog I had ever seen. You whip out a flash light & he could focus on nothing else. My mom said once there was a lizard in the house & she shined a light on it for Gunther to get it--the silly guy just chased the light.
