Random Friday, Ver. 59

1) Zan is sad and worried

I found out yesterday that my good friend Chris was in a car accident Wednesday night. He’ll be okay, but he’s in the hospital with a gash in his forehead and a broken nose. He was supposed to have surgery early this morning. My thoughts are with you, my friend.

(This photo of me and Chris was taken at our friend Teresa’s bridal shower a few weeks ago.)

(The remainder of this post was written before I found out about Chris’ condition, so the topics are a bit more upbeat.)

2) Will we have to remove our clothes?

Remember when I met Semi-Charmed Jen and she asked if I was interested in trying an aerobic striptease class? Well, our talk has turned to action and we’re signed up to do that next week at The P Spot. The class is called Strip Aerobics, and it’s described as:

…an entertaining multi-impact aerobic workout that uses basic striptease moves and floor-based exercises to activate the body’s fat-burning system while unleashing the secret seducer that lives within.

I’ll be sure to tell you guys all about it.

3) Superheroes in disguise

There’s a man at my gym who reminds me of Clark Kent. He’s tall, with dark hair, super-buff chest and arms, and he wears wire-rimmed glasses. The glasses give him a studious air that contrasts with his super-buffness and is, I suppose, where the Clark Kent association comes in. It’s easy to picture him stripping off his white t-shirt and sweatpants to reveal Superman’s signature body-hugging blue bodysuit underneath.

Whenever I see him I feel like I should yell, “Hi, Superman!” I’ve resisted the urge so far, but I’m sure an outburst like that would be immensely entertaining to my fellow gym-goers.

4) Gimme more peaches

If I end up baking that peach pie? I’ve discovered an additional benefit — peaches pump up your muscles! Sweet!

  2. I’m so jealous of the class – I wanna go!!!! :( Seriously though, you were worried about your dates reading about them online…I would now be worried about what kind of ‘entertainment’ they think they will be privy to! :) hahaha

    Have a great weekend and enjoy the class!!

  3. Zandria, I’m so sorry to hear about your friend Chris. Please keep us updated on his condition.

    I look forward to hearing about the class! Please call out ‘Hey Superman!’ at the gym. It would truly be hilarious. Well, to read about the aftermath would be quite funny. :)

    And I love peaches. Hooray! Hope you have a good weekend.

  12. I hope your friend is better by now. The striptease class should be fun, but will you be wearing stillettos? :)

    And thanks for the tip about peaches. :)

  18. I so dare you to say something to Superman. Sounds like he’s pretty good looking. I’ve always loved guys with glasses and I bet the fact that he is buff and has dark hair doesn’t hurt, either.

  19. I wish I could go to the class with you! Fun!
