upside down

upside downI'm driving today. For however long it takes to get from Columbus to Atlanta. A long time. Syd'z is keeping me on the straight and narrow, and iPod is riding shotgun. Okay, I'll let Cathi ride shotgun, as long as she lets iPod sit on her lap.

You're invited to road trip with us, too. If you want.

I figured it's an upside down kind of day. (Remember how that works? I comment. You write the post.)

Your comments will come through to my phone, so I'm hoping you'll keep us all-chuckles all the way to the ATL.

So tell me something that would make me say:

That's what she said!

name that aussie

*EDITED @ 10 PM*

My new GPS has changed my life forever.

Seriously.

Now he she just needs a name. Yes, he's a he. Normally he'd have been a she, but I wasn't particularly fond of any of the she-voices. So he's a he. An Australian he in fact. I found a she voice I like! AND she's Aussie, too!

Some of you have already suggested names on my Facebook page (and even via text message!). Moses, Kumquat, Beaufort, Piper, and McGyver are all in the running.

I thought maybe we should cast the net a little wider here at the Grit.

So... Whatcha got for me? What should I call my Aussie he-man she-girl GPS?

(I feel bad for making y'all suggest boy names all day and then I go and change genders on you. My poor GPS has an identity crisis, what can I say!? So... we're now officially taking girl name ideas. And, well, I guess my G to the PS may just end up being whichever gender has the best name option!)

four-minute friday: demon treadmills

,

Go. I'm afraid of treadmills.

No, really. I am.

I've been hanging out with Gym for several months now. I've run on the track, used the cross trainer, lifted weights, even taken Zumba classes. But I haven't even touched one of the treadmills. I barely even glance in their general direction. They're scary.

Stop sneering. It's a completely rational fear.

Because I know what can happen on a treadmill.

I've laughed at seen enough videos to know that in a fight against a treadmill, I would surely lose. Every time.

Don't know what I'm talking about? Then you should watch these clips and laugh learn your lesson. They're all short videos, but if you're in a real hurry at least watch this one. These five seconds could spare you serious bodily harm down the road.

Treadmills are of the devil.

Just like moths.

Done.
