Friday mash-up

I'm all over the place today. First, to wrap up my Gym Rant post from earlier this week -- I swear, the Gym Gods read it and punished me. On Wednesday, when I was in my usual class, a man came in late and 1) stood right in front of me, blocking my view of the instructor; 2) proceeded to do nearly everything incorrectly and with horrible form, and 3) was out of sync with the rest of the class. Can't people tell when 30 people are moving a different way than they are?? Then yesterday, in another class, the microphone wasn't working and the instructor didn't like having to shout, so she was off her game. She still blasted the music so you couldn't hear her, and since I'm blind as a bat and don't wear my glasses when working out, I couldn't see what she was doing either. Arrrrgghhhh! I give up. The things I go through to beat back the ravages of Father Time. Some days, I wish my vanity would take a hike.

On to more positive things: Happy Chross Friday! And congratulations to all the co-bloggers who were listed today as well. Is it my imagination, or is Chross's list growing longer? So many great choices!

You know, some might get sick of my exultations every time I make this illustrious list. But I can't help it -- it's fun! It's flattering. And it's such a kick to watch my hits soar. Yes, I am an attention whore. I admit it. I joke about it. I invite people to giggle at it. It is what it is. But I know I'm not alone. :-)

Checking my stats yesterday, I notice I was getting hundreds of hits from a bondage blog. Huh? I went to look, and sure enough, my "Stranger" entry had been quoted in a blog about various aspects of bondage. Interesting note: The blog author had set up the entry by saying that I'd posted my blog about Abduction Guy's pictures to put ideas into New Guy's head. Actually, I didn't. Not consciously, anyway. I was genuinely bewildered and rattled about my reactions to those photos, and I wanted to talk about it. But I sure am glad it turned out the way it did. (beaming)

And finally -- anyone want a giggle? Go check out the mischief that Poppy is up to. Apparently the Princesses are in revolt. Feel free to join in throwing me under the bus (or under the moat, as the case may be). (And yes, I was consulted beforehand and heartily gave my approval.)

Another weekend upon us... off to John's later, and then will be celebrating a spanking good President's Day on Monday. Happy, happy me. :-)

Have a great weekend, y'all.
