Midget Weights; a new career for Steph

Yesterday Aquaman turned 38.  Every year something goes wrong on his birthday.  A kid vomits all over him, a kid has the flu, he has the flu, there's a snowstorm etc.  Yesterday was looking good until Amelia lost a crown to her dog and had a 30 minute temper tantrum.  That's what I need to have right now.

Foul, foul, foul.  I wake up at 4:15 with a knot in my stomach.  I can't take much more.  I have some big decisions to make by the spring.  I didn't even train on Monday I am so stressed and busy.  I walk into CP tonight and Pete greets me with , "Hello Midget" to which I respond, "My life sucks."  Meet the Mad Midget.

I was discussing my professional future with the coaching crew and I mentioned that Michelle and I thought I would be a good midget weight.  This is probably what you were thinking of.

No, no, no.  That is so June 1987.   Come on, it's me we're talking about.  Hip and stylish (my literacy partner told me today that one of the other teachers was asking her where I bought my clothes because I'm "so stylish.")  At least I can do one thing right.

I'm talking Midget Weights 2009.  This gym in London is using "feisty midgets" instead of real weights.  I think I could do a fabulous job of this, don't you?  Though I'm not sure how I feel about wearing big yellow numbers on my butt.

The rest of my night included lots of loving insults (thanks for the offer of a high five Eric.)  I was told, "I don't know if anyone as grumpy as you should be allowed to wear my name on your chest."  I think my grumpiness was scaring people.  I got, "You're usually so cheery and happy."  Yeah, well we all fall buddy.  Even Scary Coach was nice to me.  Now this is scary, I'm actually thinking of hiring him as a nutritionist.  Those really pretty pictures of kiwis he posted made me look at him in a different way.  It felt really good to lift.  I left feeling invigorated and somewhat calmer.  Although I am deeply disturbed that one of the CP coaches is a Party of Five expert.  So, thank you you three for making me laugh (and Jake too; that blonde wig was priceless.)  And let me know when I can start my job as feisty midget weight.  I hear that "CP desk girl" is also open...
