4 Letter Words & Other "EVIL" Boot Camp Vocabulary

My week began with a 4-letter word: LEAK.

On Monday morning, the source of the mysterious "puddle" in my garage was identified when a cascade of water poured down from my attic through the vent and sky light in my laundry room, causing a flood and making think I'd somehow missed a message from God to build an Ark.

Apparently, a hose had come loose from the drain pipe, and thanks to our neighbor (who unlike Tool Time's Wilson DOES show his face on the other other side of the fence) the problem was fixed with DUCT TAPE.

And, sadly, somewhere in the crisis, my CELL phone drowned. But I didn't discover this until Tuesday morning...

So Monday night, Day 7 was what the Boot Camp Guru titled "FOUR MINS. FROM HELL". It was obvious I was in trouble at that moment.

Tuesday night, which I'd call "ABS-olutely Fabulous" was even worse. Instead of 4 minutes per exercise like Monday night, it was our circuit training day and every other exercise was ab-related. I honestly couldn't stand up straight until dinner.

Wednesday night, GadgetGirl came to my rescue. GadgetGirl (who can never resist the latest in technological advances - hence, the Roomba that scoots around their floors each day!) just "happened" to have an "extra" Blackberry lying around that I could borrow. So I trekked to her house and forfeited the opportunity to blog about Days 7 & 8...

Thursday night was the "Obstacle Course". The source of my trouble with the event can be summed in two more 4-letter words: JUMP ROPE. (Have no fear Blue Team, I'm practicing at home from now on!)

And, Friday night, Hubby and I celebrated a belated Father's Day with our parents, so blogging was banned for both of us last night.

So here it is, 4:45 AM Saturday morning, and yes I really am awake. I'm about to go do my neighborhood laps, complete with DIPS, LUNGES, SQUATS, and BACKWARDS WALKING before we drive 7 hours (one way) to have dinner with our friends, SuperChargers' Fans #1 & #2.

But, at least my crazy week will end with a couple of fun 4-letter words: ROAD TRIP!
