Sweating It Out

I have an addiction. I love to garage sale. I buy things at garage sales that I totally do NOT need! I still have a shelf in the basement of the old house, that is beautiful. It cost originally over $100 from a high end store in Petoskey. It has beveled glass shelves.... and I paid 8 bucks for it. And it's sitting in my basement. When I bought it, I said... "I have no idea WHAT I'm going to do with this, but I love it!!!" I guess if for nothing else the divorce did find a use for that shelf. The "x" now has it as his key holder thing. LOL

I've been doing pretty well with my self imposed spending freeze, but last weekend my sister called and told me about a few garage sales with camping stuff. Apparently I have lost my tent, lantern, folding picnic table, folding chairs, etc etc in the divorce. Which totally sucks because I am the one who camps... but that's neither here nor there. I'm not bitter.... **laughs nervously** Not at all.

I digress...

Soo I hit these garage sales hoping upon hope to find camping stuff, and what I stumble across is some video cassettes. Now my boy is into super heroes, but after buying a new spiderman computer generated cartoon, and listening to them say OH MY GOD and DAMN IT every other word, I took it back. I can just see him rattling off one of those to my mom... ugggh. Anyway I was looking for an old school superman or spiderman movie and I stumbled across ET and Disco Sweat. So I bought them. Only because I have NEVER in my life EVER seen ET and I hear it's a right of passage. So I bought that, and Disco Sweat, because... I have no idea why I think it just jumped into my hands, like that Milli Vanilli tape 2 years ago. And I've never seen a Richard Simmons video.

So I go home, and I'm kinda giggling because what 32yr old woman buys ET and Disco Sweat??? I was starting to realize my full dorkdum but hey, I figure if nothing else, come the next 70's dance party at Grandma's, I'll probably have a few new steps to try out. So I get home set the tapes aside and stuff my face and forget about my tapes.

Yesterday my sister in law came over and we had dinner together. Wet burritos from the Frederic Inn! Mmmmmmmmm. After a lenghty discussion on what was better, sex or this particular dinner, and what exactly would one give up for a Frederic Inn wet burrito... A million dollars??? A pay raise???? New shoes???? lol. Anyway we stuffed ourselves and then moseyed into the living room, where we found Disco Sweat.

She was pleasantly surprised to see that I was the latest owner. (Ok, I say surprised, she was amused!) So I start laughing and I say... "Should we try it?" to which she replied "HECK YEAH!!!!" So we pop it in, and it is single handily the funniest thing I've watched since that video Rodmaster recommended on soul winning. I haven't laughed that hard all week! I think we got a better work out from the laughing then the actual disco. It was HILARIOUS. So the point here is... Disco Sweat... you can totally borrow it!!!

Things we've learned this week

Spiderman-- not always sweet and innocent in his quest to save the city
Camping Supplies-- not in my possession-- but I'm not bitter.. **chuckles nervously** not at all!
Wet Burritos-- possibly the best thing on earth
Disco Sweat-- best laugh EVER
Me-- biggest dork EVER
You-- biggest dork lover EVER.... hey I don't force you to read this blog... you come back of your own accord.... YOU figure it out! LOL
