Ridiculous Girl

I run into my girlfriend at the Y one day. “Hi Babe!"  she yells across the gym "We’re going out for Carrie's birthday this weekend.   You should come!  We're going SALSA DANCING!" "Definitely!  I'm THERE!" I yell back. I put my earphones back in my ears and continue watching The Ellen Degeneres Show while keeping a nice, slow pace on the treadmill.    I start thinking of the outfit I will choose for my salsa event.  Thank God I got this treadmill session in this week.......my body will look slammin'.

My buddy texts me the other day, "Did you see the preview for Iron Man 3?" I quickly text back..."What???? No!!!!" I jump off the couch and run to my computer. I google...."IRON MAN 3 TRAILER". My computer is thinking.....that stupid little circle is spinning ....I whisper under my breath.."hurrrryyyyyy" Suddenly, hundreds of pictures of Robert Downey Jr. and his elaborate red and gold suit flood my screen.
