My Mega Marvelous Monday
Good evening my very Slim Buddies! 
rn
Well, first, thank you to those of you who wished Steve a happy birthday! He was tickled to read all the birthday well wishes!!! Some days, I think he wishes he was fat, so that he could join our little club! In the meantime, though, he is only allowed on occasionally! And ONLY after I have pre-approved his reading material!!! 
rn
We had a great time today, of course, in Ohio’s Amish Country. The weather was less then stellar, but we made do…I did endulge in some cheese and wine, but I kept it in moderation, and well, I feel good…
rn
I got a VERY VERY good workout in yesterday, by the way…I worked out for 20 minutes on my elliptical and 20 minutes on the treadmill! YAY…
rn
UPDATE: Yes, the machines are STILL broken. YES I have sent a not so nice letter to our Property Manager. YES I will be attending the next board member to publicly state my complaints…And NO, I can not buy a personal elliptical machine…Been there, done that, and husband says NO…It sat in my spare bedroom unused for a year…I sold it on ebay in the Fall…For some reason, I am better when I leave the house to exercise…
rn
So anyway, my mom and step dad came up last night to spend the night and go to Amish Country with us today…
rn
And here is my delightful story to share…I was getting ready this morning, and I was rushing downstairs to put on my tennis shoes…
rn
And my step dad, Yogi, says “Ummm. Dawn…I have to tell you something…”
rn
And so I look over at him and he is all kinds of shades of red in the face, and I say “Yog, what is it???”
rn
He replies, “Well, I am not quite sure how to say this without having you think I am a creep, but so I am just gonna say it…Your butt looks really cute lately!!!”
rn
Then he turned 10 shades red-er and apologized profusely!!
rn
I, on the other hand, shout for joy and say “THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!! I have been loving my butt lately TOO!!!” and I was soooo excited that I ran to the back door, where Steve was outside with the dogs and I yell “HEY STEVE, Yogi says my butt is getting cuter!!”
rn
This, of course, mortifies my poor step dad even more!
rn
Now, before any of you go off and think that he is some dirty old man, let me assure you that he is not. I adore this man. He has known me before I was born. He was best friends with my dad long before my mom, or me, for that matter came into the picture…
rn
He has never NOT been a part of my life, and he is the kindest, most decent man I know…
rn
So, you see, this was welcomed news for me because I come from a long long line of flat butted people. HONEST…And I have been working on the elliptical butt for over a year now…Apparently, it is finally paying off!
rn
YAY for elliptical butts!!
rn
So, I am glad I had the day off, but am ready ready ready to get down to business this week…
rn
I have a new plan to shake things up a bit…I will keep you posted…(It’s top secret, so I can’t share it yet!) 
rn
Congrats to the Red Hot Hotties this week! You guys are really rockin it!
rn
Have a super great week everyone!!!

Good for you guys enjoying the day in spite of the weather. And good for you for taking some initiative and bitching about those machines, I mean, seriously, what is their excuse? Or have they not even offered one? And about the butt comment - lol, I have to laugh. I come from a line of big butts, but they tend to be wide, not necessarly round, so I, too, am quite happy with mine lately bc it’s gotten crazy better. I do have to suggest, though, if your knees can take it - squats. I am telling you girl, squats are the S*** for killer butts! I am so sold that I’ve basically been recommending it to everyone who asks. That and floor leg extensions, and baba-boom!
Well congrats to you and your ass Dawnie!
I’ll take words you never thought you would say for $200 Alex..
Good hair days make you feel good, but a good butt day makes you feel invincible!
Well, that’s a compliment if I ever heard one! I’m glad your step-dad risked embarassment to let you know he noticed.
That’s when you know a family member really loves ya when they compliment your butt lol!! That is so sweet.
Hey Dawnie with the cute booty!! I wasn’t expecting you on the site just yet, but these news are absolutely wonderful!!
Poor step-dad, he must have been mortified!! I’m so glad you took the compliment well!!
Glad you’ve been able to workout my friend!
