Gym Observations
Greetings, Earthlings! So I’m pulling a lifestyle change. Gettin my shit together. It’s going pretty well so far but I’m so distracted by all the funny things going on, I just have to share. 1. The makers of exercise equipment are biased toward tall people. The glare on the TV screen on my elliptical machine was so bad I almost got off. Oh to be short in a big kid gym. 2. I am small in stature but I am not small. I, however, know how to dress myself to trick all of you into thinking I am skinnier than I am. I am not one to judge another person’s weight. And when I’m staring at someone in the gym, it’s never because they’re overweight. I’m either staring because they look hella good and I’m staring with jealousy/wonderment or I’m starting because someone is wearing FAR less clothes than is in any way attractive. I’m not judging your weight, I’m judging your clothing choice. Be honest with yourself and just wear a t-shirt, ok? 3. Men and their posturing around each other is hysterical. 90% couldn’t care less what the women in the gym think of them, they want the other dudes to see gaze upon their biceps with envy. It’s so unattractive. Quite the opposite I think of their end goal. 4. Turning on the TV to TLC showing an episode of ‘My 600-Lb Life’ featuring a woman named Melissa is probably the best motivation I could have. Needless to say, I stayed a little longer than anticipated. Here’s to improving the journey. Hold on to your butts.

Can someone explain to me…
…how all (and by all, I mean 4) of my ex-boyfriends happen to be engaged or married to people that are within 2 degrees of me? What is happening.

I have to tell you that over the course of several years as I have talked to friends and family and neighbors when I think about members of my own staff who are in incredibly committed monogamous relationships, same-sex relationships, who are raising kids together, when I think about those soldiers or airmen or marines or sailors who are out there fighting on my behalf and yet feel constrained, even now that Don’t Ask Don’t Tell is gone, because they are not able to commit themselves in a marriage, at a certain point I’ve just concluded that for me personally it is important for me to go ahead and affirm that I think same sex couples should be able to get married.
