Whine, Wine, and Zumba?

Saturday night I went over to the Queen's for some whine and wine time and our friend Joanne was also there to catch up with the Queen. During the conversation, I was asked "what have you done today?" I responded, "Not much, slept, I think I purchased the Zumba DVDs..." This of course caused some confused looks as in "you don't KNOW if you purchased Zumba?!?"

I have a bad habit of rolling out of bed on Saturday and/or Sunday morning and turning on the television at 5:30 - 6:00 AM when I'm still not quite awake, but can't lay in bed any longer. 9 times out of 10 there is an infomercial of some sort on and 8 out of those 9 times it is for some miraculous weight-loss product or excercise equipment. When I'm in the fuzzy morning state, they all seem so brilliant and I just know that THIS will be the one that I'll stick to and become gloriously thin and in shape. Lately, however, I've been able to resist actually purchasing these (and yes, I'm now confessing that I am an infomercial addict and have been known to purchase many a miracle product on-line....).

And yet, this past Saturday morning I couldn't resist. The lure of the rythmic music hooked me and I reached for my computer, logged on, and purchased the DVDs (come on they came with free shipping and the magic shakey-shake sticks). I've convinced myself that I'll be able to travel with these and do them in my hotel room while I'm on the road....

Sunday morning, I checked my email and yes, there was the confirmation that I had actually made the purchase....I'll let you know when I break the shrink-wrap on the package.... Speaking of, does anybody want the complete set of the Billy Blanks Tae-Bo Bootcamp...still in their wrapper....

I know, I'm pitiful...
