I really hated Curves. It’s the most boring exercise routine I can think of, and I only saw ONE woman there ever get real results, and I think it was because she dieted rigorously. Not like the rest of us slugs. Seriously, all you do is go ’round and ’round on those exercise machines, and jog in between them. But I hate going anywhere to exercise; rather do it at home.

Don’t you just love doing these every so often?

I’m honored! I should have mentioned reading as a hobby – except that I suppose I don’t see it as a hobby. Is breathing a hobby? I read, therefore I am. The reason I wanted to look at Curves is that their ads show older, larger women, and I really want to work on the machines.

Does the NotPat screen name mean that you don’t like being called Pat???
Warning Comment
I guess that the “lie” is that winter is your favorite season. I BET IT’S NOT! 🙂 I agree with you on the career question. I also hope my kids will be happy(and I hope your son is). blessings and hugs, Weesprite
