First things first. Go Celtics, go! So I switched teams from last year; I can do that ok. Don’t judge me! Oh, but Kobe is still like totally cute. Like, omg. Today is one of those days where I think I have seriously lost my mind. A crazy and long day. I feel like Goldie Hawn on Overboard when she is sitting back in that chair and staring into space with all those kids who have driven her insane and she was like, "buh buh buhbuh bubba." I’m doing that right now. That’s me. Someone is throwing grapes at my head, but I have no idea who. Knock it off!!

 Tonight I did a short, lighter leg workout. Not by choice. If it were up to me, I’d be a complete supersetting and circuit psycho like usual. Wasn’t up to me, though. Stupid back. I started going to a new chiropractor about a month ago. He’s great, I was feeling good, going my 3 times per week, doing my thing, then….here come the stiff legged deadlifts and their stinkin peer pressure. All the cool people were doing it. Anyways, that was a bad idea. That was a few weeks ago, so I’ve been taking it easier when I do legs b/c that’s when I tend to irritate my back. I also did hot yoga Tues morning…the first time in a few months. Yeah, that was not my proudest moment. I had to cheat a lot in order to not compromise my back. I could feel it on the verge of really putting me in my place. It wasn’t worth sacrificing my back, so I cheated here and there. I’m sneaky like that.

Ok, funny story. Let me re-phrase that…Here’s a story that I thought was funny. Note: I once tried finding the movie "the Other Sister" in the comedy section before learning that it was actually a drama. What? Seriously.  "Don’t laugh at me, Daniel!" Come on…it’s not even a true story.

Alright, I was at the gym a few days ago and was knocking out some VersaClimber intervals. Now, I’ve mentioned before how I like to "kill two birds with one stone." So, I figured I’d sit in the sauna afterwards and stretch, while I have this conditioning oil in my hair. I have this indian woman who threads my eyebrows and she got this oil from India that I bought from her. A little heat is always good for hair conditioner so, there you have it..two birds, one stone. This oil is very pungent; I can’t even describe the smell. I mean, I’ve gotten used to. She told me to "cut it" with olive oil. Ok, so I put the stuff in my hair, walk into the sauna. There were like 8 people in there. It didn’t even occur to me how horrible it would smell to the people in there. So I’m sitting there and all these people have all these different conversations going on.  All of a sudden, there are a few seconds of silence and this lady was like, "What is that SMELL!?"

Well, I was gonna say something, but before I could, this other guy was like, "OMG I smell it, too! What is that? It’s terrible!" Then another guy: "You know, I’ve been smelling that for a few weeks in here now. I think they’re trying to get us to stop coming in the sauna!" Oh, now come on….now that guy’s just being a big ole drama queen. It was my first time in there with it on (that gym anyways). So I’m sitting there and covering my face with my towel acting like I’m wiping sweat b/c I was laughing. Then this lady goes, "Well it didn’t smell when we first came in here." haha! So, then that meant I had to wait until all of them left before I left b/c otherwise they’d all get a whiff of it when I walked by. Then this guy said, "Well I’m gonna say something to the front desk. They’re gonna ask me what it smells like and I’m gonna say ‘it smells like a big bucket of @$$hole!!’" And that’s when I just about lost it. Now everytime I see that guy I’m gonna picture him saying that.

So everyone left, then I got out and walk into the locker room. I wasn’t even thinking that my hair still smelled…it’s like I had forgotten what had just happened like 3 minutes before. I walk in, and low and behold…out of all the thousand lockers in there, whose big fat locker was directly right beside mine? That lady who was in the sauna. I had already walked halfway to her before I realized, "dang it, she’s gonna smell it again and know it’s me and wonder why I didn’t say anything in the sauna." It was too late. Damage was already done. So, I did what anyone else would do. I pinched my nose, gave her an awful look and was like, "phew…geez, do you smell that?" Then when she was in the shower, I drizzled a little of that oil in her bag just to make her think it was her all along. haha…Ok, I didn’t really do that, but I should have. Hindsight is 20/20
