LilZ used to have a Sleep-n-Snore Ernie doll. It would sleep and snore and then wakeup to say “I feel GREAT!” in an overly enthusiastic tone that sometimes made me suspicious he had been snorting blow off of Tickle-Me-Elmos stomach when no one was looking.
One time, I was walking down the hall past LilZs bedroom late one night when I suddenly heard the exclamation “I FEEL GREAT!” emerge out of the darkness of his room. This freaked my shit out to no end and I immediately grabbed the damn toy and took out his damn voice box. I didnt care how good Ernie felt, I had no interest in hearing about it during the wee hours of the morning or night. Ernie was forever silenced and I was no longer haunted by his goofball exclamations.
Some toys are simply evil.
All of that said? I feel GREAT. I went wogging walk/jogging (thanks Kal) again tonight with LilZ. We did the same 2.25 mile route, running almost half of it. I am not sore and I wasnt even too winded. I would have gone a little longer if I didnt need to do about ninety million things before bed. Maybe the 5K is attainable after all.
Just dont tell Ernie.
Go girl. And boy.
That’s wonderful! I’m ‘training for the Race for the Cure 5K coming up here May 6th. I’m not running tho…couple being totally out of shape with 6 months of chemo and I’m just thrilled to be walking 3 miles in an hour! But it’s progress!! When I started, I was barely doing 1 mile in an hour. The doing and the feeling great knowing you’ve accomplished your goal is keeping me pumped to keep on going. This race is just the start, I hope…I really want to keep it up and shoot for this as being the start of a total life style change!
Keep up the good work!!
go Zoot, Go Zoot. Go Wogging, get busy!
Gotta get my kids one of those “Masturbate Me Elmo” dolls. “That feels great. Harder!”
My kids had the SAME EXACT Ernie, and he one day caused his own premature demise by proclaming his great feeling-status with no apparent outside stimulation when I was home alone. He also snored too got-damned loud for my taste.
Call me an old stickler, but can I suggest “jalking” for your jog/walk conundrum?
“Wog” in the UK is equivalent to “n*gg*r” and “wogging” in the 70s involved going out, getting drunk and beating up black people.
Unless I’ve completely misread this and you and your pre-teen took some time out of your busy schedules for a beer and Jack fueled race riot, in which case, ignore me…
i know! ernie did the same thing to us!! and then when his battery started to die>>>he would say i feel great i feel great i feel great
gah!
good for you and running|walking!
my nephew had one of those. entertainingly creepy?
good job on the wogging. It’s nice LilZ does it with you.
