Shaking things up



Remember my intention to read War and Peace by my fiftieth birthday in late August? I'm working on it. It's sitting on my bed right now, and I've fallen behind. At the rate I'm reading it, I might have to shoot for my sixtieth birthday in late August of 2023. As you might recall, I took up the tome in lieu of losing fifty pounds by my fiftieth birthday, and I'm now considering getting back on that bandwagon through Prancercise.



Reader, what do you think? Who wants to join me in donning white stretch pants and a tiny jacket?

    This thing has gone so viral. I really don't have the vocabulary to discuss how weird it makes me feel. It sort of reminds me of Christoga. Remember that one?

    And I end up after watching both of them being sort of really embarrassed to be a human being.

    What about reading War and Peace AS you prancercise?

    I'm not gonna lie to you, I really want to Prancercise to an endless loop of AC/DC riffs. I listened to a This American Life episode recently and it was all about quitting, and how it's necessary to quit to open up room for other things and that we shouldn't look down on quitting, but applaud it. Just saying.

    Beyond the overall hilarity of that video I mostly found that I couldn't look away from the camel toe crotch. But then at the same time I wasn't sure this was a woman but that would seem to be a requirement of camel toe. Regardless, I just got a good workout laughing out loud.

    Michelle sent me the Prancercize video. It rights a whole host of wrongs.

    Well, she IS thin!

    Like Jill, I just can't get past the camel toe. Yikes.

    no one's white pants should be THAT tight.

    Some might call the way I skip down the road prancing, but I'll be damned if I'll do it wearing anything but black gym shorts and an old tee-shirt. Just another installment in our daily Theater of the Absurd.
