Squippering at the Gym
Y'all may recall my blog post last month titled Doing a Squipper. If you have a memory lapse or ignored my adorable blog post, the title is your link to it. I gently suggest that if you didn't read it, you do so now and then return here.
Meanwhile back at the funny farm, mucho thanks to LeAnn @ the cheese stands alone for the kick in the ass to write something here. (wink, wink, shake your booty in that gym LeAnn!) She fired off the following email to me yesterday, and since sometimes I possess good blogging manners, I asked her if I could post the email. She said, "Well for Pete's sake! I NEVER!" (No she didn't, I made that up. She said sure.) So here it is along with my response.
I've recently joined a new gym, which has a very convoluted ladies'
locker room... all angles and turns and entirely mirrored walls.
You see where this is going, don't you?
I "squippered" no less than four times in there yesterday.... twice
with witnesses.
Just thought you'd like to know. :)

I responded:
There will be no squippering at the gym, unless you devise a new
workout routine and they pay you tons of money to teach everyone
else.
LeeAnn replied:
I'm totally serious, that locker room is going to be the death of me.
I'm noseprinting almost every mirror so far. And at one point I got
stuck in this loop... changing room to toilet stalls to sauna room to
changing room.... just could NOT find the door. I had to wait and
follow some woman on her way out.
I think I scared her, chanting "Out out out out out.... "

What have I done!? I think I've created little squippering squippies... or something. Please tell me that none of the rest of you are bumping into walls and tripping on your feet and doing anything else that makes you say ouch! or duh!

Marya - Just ask Ned. The difference here is that I've been known as 'squipper' or 'squip' since 1995 -- it's my nickname. I'll be writing about Ned and his book sometime in the near future.

Going to the gym today and I'll dedicate the first noseprint to you. :)

Guess it's just more fun to say I pulled a Squipper, than I'm a clumsy fool. And I'll just take the blame for starting the trend. Proud of it that I am. : ^ ) Have a great holiday.
