hippity hoppity, easters on it's- get the hell away from me!

so anna and i went to the gym again this morning. arrived just in time for the childrens' easter egg hunt! what wonderful planning on our part! thankfully, the Y was smart enough to avoid hiding eggs on the upper level where the work out equipment is, thus ensuring that the children were not forced to hunt for eggs near a disgruntled woman who was sweating out the three beers she drank the night before. (what? i'm sure there was someone like that somewhere on the upper level. surely not me...)

anna and i continued to prove how incredibly adept we are at the gym. today we both forgot to start the timers on our ellipticals. about 15 minutes in (we think) we both realized that we had not pressed start. nope. hopped on, and just started pedaling our little hearts out. that is how dedicated we are. we see those machines and just can't wait to get started. no time to push buttons people! we've got calories to burn here!

but we did end up doing a full 30 minutes from the time we realized that, which means we ended up working out for closer to 45 minutes on the elliptical, versus 30. so in the long run, it was a good thing. and, by the time we were done, so was the easter egg hunt. which really worked out for the kids. for as scary as the fat lady mumbling death threats on the elliptical could have been for the children, seeing a red-faced fat lady pour sweat and groaning as she left the gym might have been equally traumatic.
