Inspiration

I know, I know.... I have NOT been good about posting to my blog. I just haven't been very inspired lately. Maybe it is because Tom hasn't run with us for quite awhile so I don't have any new material to work with! Mike tries to help me out, but since he has gotten his promotion and a girlfriend he is so serious.

But a new year is upon us and it will be my FOURTH year of blogging! Whew! Time flies! No wonder I am struggling to write something new and interesting. The New Year Baby (remember that animated TV holiday special? (I am not sure I have my adjectives in the right order there)) must have visited me. Jim and I watched Julia & Julie last night. For those of you who don't know the story is about Julie who blogs about cooking every recipe in Julia Child's first cookbook.

So, the thought occurred to me...maybe I would find a running calendar which had some type of inspirational message on which I would blog about. So, I have gone in search of such a calendar, but currently I am side tracked.....

I found the "Running 2010 Wall Calendar". It is also a log and it must be a darn good one because the calendar costs $146.86 and used it is $146.92! No, it is not a typo, at least not by me. Maybe it is printed on gold or guarantees a Boston qualifying time at your next marathon? Hmmm. I am tempted to order it just to see what all the fuss is about... NOT.

Then I found one that may be much more interesting at a much more reasonable price -

What's Your Poo Telling You? Although, I am not sure I am really up for writing about poop, especially my poop for a whole year.


Or maybe one that is much more realistic is: 2010 Daily Calendar: 365 Excuses for All Occasions

Also on the consideration list is I Can Do It 2010 Calendar: 365 Daily Affirmations. I can just hear Mike's or Tom's voice telling me the daily affirmation in a soothing, but confidence inspiring voice.

But I probably would get 3 faithful readers (you know who you are) if I featured The Biggest Loser Simple Swaps: 100 Easy Changes to Start Living a Healthier Lifestyle.

In order to complete my New Years Resolution to deal with the lady on Rusk Street who tries to drive as close to us as possible just so we can clearly see how her middle finger is erect, I should get 2010 Getting in Touch with Your Inner Bitch boxed calendar

The "Who thought of THAT title" prize goes to the Grandma's Dead: 2010 Postcard Day-to-Day Calendar. Honest! That is a name of a calendar!

The calendar I would probably enjoy most, but who be the hardest to blog about (because a picture IS like a thousand words) is the Daily Hunk 2010 Daily Boxed Calendar (Calendar). The fact that they had to put the word calendar in parentheses behind the word calendar in the title goes to show you the level of intelligence they are expecting in the people interested in anything with the word "hunk" in the title!

I also found it very interesting that when I did a search for "workout calendars" I got

2010 Daily Calendar: 365 Reasons to Have Sex. I think there is a conspiracy out there!


So, what shall it be? Any requests?
