Where oh where

Who doesn't love Pearl Jam, I ask you? Apparently I do, and I ike to sing it out loud, as an elderly gentlemen quizically looked my way while I was moving along on the Elliptical today; lucky for him it was Last Kiss and not Yellow Ledbetter (which I don't know all the words to so I would have sounded like a Pentecostal Sarah Palin murming in tongues.). Luckily said man wasn't at the gym during my little misstep yesterday, so he just thinks I am passionate about looking both ways at railroad crossings and misses a loved one.

This morning over coffee, I am expressing my dismay over Vick's re-entry into my world, the NFL and the South to Tuck, and I got an eye roll (!) and a "maybe you could be a little more girlie, and stop watching ESPN Melissa". Really Tuck? Perhaps I should spend more time watching Lifetime, filing my nails and taking the Cosmo quiz of the month. This is coming from a man who declares that I own too much argyle, too many pearls, and obscene amounts of seersucker and plaids. Oh, and too many dresses. "Why can't you wear jeans once in a while, " I have been told on more than one occassion. He will deny saying this, because it's been raging cold here, so naturally I've not been wearing skirts and such, but I swear it's all true.

Perhaps Tucks complaints stem from a slight obsession I have with college football, and the lack of a playoff system...any red-blooded SEC fan would agree that this is needed! But this is the logic of a man who actually tried to root for Vanderbilt while tailgating at my mothers in Georgia during the Vandy/Georgia game (also commonly referred to as HOMECOMING) and nearly had a horseshoe tossed around his neck by my Bulldog sister.

Alright, so no more picking on Tuck. It's snowing (AGAIN) here and I am rapidly approaching the end of my fraying tether with the weather. Spin was canceled this morning, so I rocked 30 on the elliptical, 30 on the bike and 20 on the treadmill. I really do hate the treadmill. In addition to my outburst from earlier, I think I blew the speakers on my headset, since what should sound like bass now resembles heavy footsteps in stereo. Weird.

I'm on the lookout for a device that will permit me to have music on the ride, without breaking the rules and wearing earplugs...suggestions?
