Sad State of Affairs......

It is a truly shocking state of affairs in my house. I am having to live a life of near silence in my own home. Startling isn't it? I'm sure you're questioning why? Or maybe not because you couldn't care less. If that's your attitude, dude, then just quit reading now. For my compassionate readers who are now sitting on the edge of their chairs waiting for me to go on........I shall continue. You see my ELLIPTICAL has returned from a 3 month stay in Costa Rica. I gave it an all expense paid trip so well......so I could live a carefree summer without guilt. After all, if it's not here, I CAN'T USE IT!! But...the fact is now that I can hear it calling my name through the door of the room where it resides. It's back, it has returned, my life is not worth living. So here is my theory. If I'm quiet...and for you who know me that is virtually impossible....but if I am, then the reality is, it doesn't really know if I'm here or not. Maybe it thinks I'm still on vacay. So I'm tiptoeing around on bare feet(gonna be a problem when it gets cold), whispering to my husband and pets. I'm just so glad that it's not sitting by a window where it can look out and see me drive in and out of the driveway. I don't know how long I can pull this off....I am terrified. The fact is I think everyday my name is called a little louder. Pretty soon my neighbors may hear it....and they live across two pastures from me. Not only is it getting louder, its tone of voice is changing.....more shrill, more demanding.....NOT GOOD! As you can tell, I'm living in a Stephen King book. I wonder when I can't stand it any longer, and I give in, if I'll open that door to Cujo or Carrie working out? My fate is in the hands of a rabid elliptical who is a prom queen.
