At a conference there is the usual sales talk to everyone who comes to your booth.\u00a0 And then there’s the personal talk between the exhibitors.\u00a0 I think I enjoy that much more.\u00a0 And of course, my Conference Peeps were all at one booth.\u00a0 So the boss can say, “Heather will be at the booth… and if she’s not there, check the Lansinoh booth.”\u00a0 Ooops, bad on me!\u00a0 Sure enough there I am.\u00a0 But, hell no one’s coming to the booth at this hour.\u00a0 They’re waiting until its time for me to go so they can delay my meal and make me miss the breakfast servings and have to choose lunch.\u00a0 (I LOVE breakfast.\u00a0 Can’t you Cat readers tell that!)<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Anyway at one such exhibitor bonding I was telling the story of my weight loss and was asked how often I went to the gym.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

“Five times a day,” I replied.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

She looked at me and I started laughing and we began to riff off it.\u00a0 <\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

ME:\u00a0\u00a0 “No, I meant 5 times a week.”\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

HER:\u00a0\u00a0 “I was thinking…five times a day… you must be in love with your trainer or something!”<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

ME:\u00a0\u00a0 “Yeah, it’s work out, then ‘WORK it’ out” <\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

HER:\u00a0\u00a0 “What’s he working, the Kagel muscle?!”<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

hysterical laughter as we pretend to grunt\/pant and count at the same time.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

ME:\u00a0 (quoting the trainer)\u00a0 “Almost there… just five more… three, two, one… (climax)\u00a0 and rest.”<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

I wonder if he’d charge me for that session?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
