i met the mayor!

Curves had its open house today, and I went and helped out (I'm kind of the star member these days, and I showed pictures of myself last summer when I was 75 pounds heavier--we were trying to get some new members to join!). I also, for the first time ever, donated blood today. It wasn't so bad. After finding out with Dennis' birth that my blood is O positive, David made me feel pretty guilty for not ever giving blood before! After I donated blood and helped set up the luncheon at Curves, David and Dennis showed up. David went to give blood, and Dennis came in to Curves and had some cake, chips, and grapes. He was delighted, and he 'worked out' on all the machines there. He ran around, climbing up and down everything like a little monkey. The mayor and the chamber of commerce folks were at Curves for the ribbon cutting (grand reopening today for the new owner), and Dennis went up to everyone and said "hi how you doing?". He was very social and had the best time. I wish we had one of those baby gyms around here so that I could take him to 'work out' on stuff designed for him. We've asked Santa to bring a baby treadmill (check the Toys 'R Us website--SO cute) for him. And we checked a video out of the library called Elmocize since he showed interest in my workout videos (something I do several times a week, much to his entertainment). He did dance around a bit, but I think he felt a bit self conscious about it. I'm hoping to set a good example for him.
