Our house is for sale...actually it has been for sale for almost a year but who's counting. I have been pretty patient about this whole process. I just feel like things have a way of working out and when the time is right, it will sell. We will be building our next house and we don't plan to start on it until this one sells so there really hasn't been any pressure...until now.
A couple of weeks ago Dan was sick and we had just put the kids to bed. I really wanted to work out and the kids were in bed. Now, I ALWAYS work out in the basement where we have gym and big tv but I knew Dan was pretty out of it and would never hear the kids if they needed him and if you are in the basement in our house you can't hear a thing. So, I decided that I would do my favorite workout DVD in the living room so I could hear the kids if they woke up. The DVD is called Yoga Booty Ballet (the Hip Hop Abs one) and I just love it. The tricky thing about this particular DVD is that the whole point is to act like a total spazz. So, while I love to do it, it's one of those things that you don't want anyone to see you do. Honestly, I won't even let Danny in the room when I'm doing it. But...this was not a problem since Dan and the kids were already in bed. I shut all of the blinds in the living and dining room and decided to go for it.
If you are familiar with the DVD, you will know the "Cowboy" move. If you don't know the video, just picture me pretending to ride a horse (legs astride and galloping) while waiving my arms in the air. It's about as embarrassing as it gets and I was killing it because, I always feel like the more spastic you are the more calories you burn. It is at that moment that I look up in time to see my male 30-something neighbor standing at my front door. There are two little windows on either side of my door and he has clearly seen me galloping away and is trying to decide whether to run or knock. He actually starts to walk away (and pretend this never happened) but I desperately feel like I need to explain so I run to the door. I'm sure I was lobster red as I explained that I was working out (I'm sure he has never quite seen a work out like this before so I can't imagine what is going through his head). He was very nice about it and just as red as I was and quickly explained that he was just returning something that he had borrowed. I tried to joke it off and silently thanked God that at least I wasn't doing the "funky chicken" move.
I have been so busy lately that I haven't given the incident much thought however, last night as neighbors tend to do, I ran into him and all I could think about was that this man had seen me galloping in my living room looking like a total idiot!! Ahhhhhhhhhhh! Please pray that our house sells soon!
