I Love Saturday Mornings

 My exuberance often gets me in hot water however if I channel it there’s little mischief I can get in to. It’s been a long absence from the Lavender Palace and my overfilled reservoir of joules must escape and Saturday’s with Kristen drains my cardio battery just perfectly. I thought Friday was my favorite day of the week but no it’s Saturday and Saturday Mornings in particular.  I love when my alarm goes of at 6:45. I get to see my friends again. The first person I spy is Stacy Tucker and as she flashes a smile my way that feeling of ‘I belong’ overwhelms me. As I scan the 50 plus there’s Janet on my left and the HBIC Nancy Kaplan (she’s not Jewish remember, I still like her though) and there’s my new friend Josh that rounds out the 1st row. I would be remiss if I didn’t mention Ferne, Howard and my stalwart friend Ivan. To think for the first 7 years here I worked out alone. The last 4 make me forget those days. 

The Queen was all business today not as much playful banter yet nonetheless no one is as charismatic as The Evil Woman. She says she’s anal but it matters little I am here because she handles the spotlight like no other. She is the shepherdess and we are her flock except we are hardly sheep. Lead us is what she does above and beyond what we think we are capable of. Often I feel as if I am training for a race that never arrives and when I think about it for the life of me I don’t know how I do it. Yet it still happens and for that I am grateful. Some of my friends warn me about my malfunctioning heart and there will come a time soon when I will submit to that ablation once more. 

KJ had yet another pair of sneakers lying next to her bike and I thought I would love to see the floor of her closet. Just how many workout shoes does she have? (forget the Scarpe donna) and I thought the only one that might have her dwarfed would be Chris Melillo but after all he’s a head honcho at Nike. I was wondering too if that EQ sparkled sleeveless was available in the shop. And I wish that those anniversary T-shirts would be made available to member’s not just staff. The 11th  comes up next month I have been here for every one. I am so glad I stayed.
