Alex, the dogs and I just got back from our daily walk.
ONE HOUR AND THIRTY MINUTES after we left the house.
What can I say?
I zigged when I should have zagged. And we took a bit of a, um, scenic route.
Alex was a great sport about the whole thing. Mainly because he got to walk through a very big tunnel.
The dogs, however, were totally ticked off. Mainly because I wouldn’t let them chase the geese. Or swim in the lakes. Or catch the birds.
Anyhoo.
Moral of the story: Do not ever assume that you intuitively know where a golf course leads. Because you will be wrong.
Moral #2: Golf courses, apparently, are designed to be as hilly as possible. At least that’s what my legs started telling me around the 45-minute mark. And my legs are still just-a-talkin’, by the way.
Moral #3: Three year old boys have no limit to how far they can walk or run. However, thirty-something mamas who are just starting to get back into shape have a definite run / walk limit. And I believe I’ve hit mine.
I’ll be back later with my “real” post for the day.
In the meantime, I will be dousing the lower half of my body with some form of topical analgesic cream.
See y’all in a bit.
That may be a good use for all that cream cheese! Forget the aspercream and bengay… gimmie some philly for those legs!
If I were the dogs, I’d be ticked as heck to. Geesh BM- no geese, no water , no nuttin.
Way to go Boomama! Even if you had trouble figuring out which way to go.
“And my legs are still just-a-talkin’, by the way”–another classic boomama line. I love your style.
And I know you’ll be dousing with some of these products. They’re on SALE, by the way! :)

Don’t you just love “jell-o leg?”
Sister – it’s all I can do not to PEEL out of the driveway now that you’ve shared that critical bit of sale information. But I do believe I know where I’ll be heading as soon as I can tomorrow….
It is to icy to walk around here
Sister,
You wanna come over and babysit my yougins while I go to BBW and buy all the aromatherapy my little charge card can handle? You have NO idea how much I love this line. Shame on you for tempting me like this!
I worked at BBW before I got married. I had a full time job. I just needed to support my habit! Even after I left BBW, my friends there would call me to tell me about new aromatherapy products and sales.
BooMamma, hope you’re better. I’ll be right there with you a little later after I do my time (you know, like prison) on the treadmill. Yuck! Eating and getting fat is so much more fun.
If those legs are a talkin’ now, I have to think they’re going to be a screamin’ by tomorrow.
But on the plus side, you’re going to be looking fine with all this walking you’ve been doing.
Oops!
you go girl!!!!!
Golf courses’ll getcha. Why do you think it takes us guys 4.5 hrs to play a round of golf? We spend half the time trying to figure out where to go next.
Love your blog. Wife and I are big fans.
I’m just wondering how long it’ll be before you figure out that you’ve probabbly met your goal for the week and won’t make it out the next couple days.
That’s what I’d be doing! :)
I also think that you need to let the dogs chase the geese next time, but make sure you take the camera.
Well, bless your heart. . .and what a sweet boy you have for not complaining. The dogs will just have to get over it. I say tomorrow, after your trip to stock up on more eucalyptus spearmint massage oil of course, that you take the day off and let the boy and the dogs entertain each other.
That is very funny. I wrote a similar post yesterday. Between the two of us, I reckon the stock on Ben Gay rose quite a bit!
“topical analgesic cream” isn’t short for cream cheese, is it?
You never know with you…
