I’ve always disliked birds. They scare me. I don’t like their wrinkled up little claw feet or those bony, feathered bodies. I have nightmares about those bizarre little black eyeballs of theirs too, those freaks of nature!! Yeah–that’s what I said! I didn’t even like birds before they decided to start dive-bombing my head at the high school track when I go over the "their side."

There are stadium stairs on both sides of the track and apparently they have decided they need the whole west side to themselves to conduct their bird business. I don’t know exactly what kinda shenanigans they have going on over there on the west-siyeeed…could be damn terrorists for all I know. I ain’t going over there to find out either! I like my eyeballs! All I know is if I return to the track next summer and there are birds from the East side throwin gang signs I’m outta there! I ain’t getting in the middle of an East side/West side thang again…we all know what happened to Biggie n Tupac.

Anyway I was sooo excited to burn real firewood in my fireplace and take out the electrical fake fireplace that’s in there now. I’ve lived in my house for about 2 years and I have no idea if the previous owners ever even used it. They were about 300 years old, so I’m guessing not. Hmmm..better have someone come sweep it out. Being the procrastinator that I am, I wait til it’s too late to call the chimney sweep guy to come do it before Xmas. I wanted to burn real firewood when my fam came over dammit!! Is that too much to ask??!!

So I finally find one of those "chimney cleaning" logs after going to four places. I get the log, some firewood, poker thing…I’m all set. So excited. I even got a crackling log… I get home, get everything ready and I’m walking to the kitchen to get the long lighter to light the log. I hear squaking. I’m like, "WHAT IS THAT! IT CANNOT BE BIRDS IN MY CHIMNEY!" Ok, I had looked up in there 3 times w/ a flashlight the day before and nothing. All of a sudden they decide to start squaking their stupid beak mouths! Ugghh…those pointy little beaks! I tried to tell myself I was just hearing things–they weren’t really there. Then I tried telling myself they would just fly out when I lit it. But…DANG IT!! Those birds know me too well!! They were mocking me! They knew of my procratinating ways and my family coming over—they DO have ears (weird ears). They also knew I wouldn’t "put em out on the street" before Xmas.

Besides that–I knew they’d have some trick up their sleeve…perhaps a little bird-sized bucket of gasoline they would dump before fleeing just to have the last laugh. Then I got MAD!! So I did what any sane person would do and I grabbed a handful of Hall’s cough drops, put on my snow boots and marched outside. I don’t know what exactly I thought this would do, but I start chucking cough drops up towards the roof trying to get em in the chimney. I threw about five before I realized I looked like a complete idiot to cars driving by. Maybe this is why I don’t get any trick or treaters? Hmmm..Anyways–I didn’t even get any cough drops in the stupid chimney and the birds ended up getting the last laugh anyways…and got to keep their cozy nest in my chimney!! But not for long…hahahaha–THIS IS WAR, BIRDS!! Lame electrical fireplace it is….

Ok–now onto my Xmas eve workout. Legs!! Horray I tried almost a full 3 scoops of SuperPump today. I had a good leg workout, but for some reason I feel more of a pump going on when I’m doing upper body exercises. Maybe I just notice it more cuz there are smaller muscle groups..either that or I’m LOCO…

My gym is closed on Xmas, but there is a hot yoga class at noon :) so I may go to that. My hams/back are sore from yesterday’s yoga. Hopefully I’m not a complete yoga failure like I was yesterday—I just wasn’t good enough for that guy!! I have some cool fake tattoos I got outta this quarter machine. Maybe I’ll stick one of those bad boys on my arm and see if I fit in better. Hope everyone has a happy holiday/safe travel/good times wthe friends n family!
