Under the tree

I hope all y’all got some goods and good cheer Christmas Day. I got some things and I’ll share some of my wish list items I received.

First, I received Zumba Exhilerate. I asked for it for multiple reasons.

1. I’ve been calling myself “plump.”
2. I have some clothes I’d like to wear.
3. I tried Zumba once and felt like an idiot. I would say I have average to potentially (considering how many drinks I’ve had) above average rhythm for a white girl. However, I went to a Zumba class a few years ago and after a few missed steps in super crowded room I decided to count off with my own mixture of the mashed potatoes combined with a little bit of the running man. I knew I needed to do this in the comfort of my home. This is especially true because it comes with a set of jazz toning sticks.

I’m sure this is what I’ll look like in a few months.

Second, I got a composter from here. The Mister was not jazzed (he obviously needed to borrow my jazz sticks) when I opened it at my parents house. My mother thought it was something we both wanted. I feel kinda bad for her as she loves The Mister and he was all “No ma’am, I didn’t know she asked for it.” He got the side eye. Then, my parents and The Mister joined in on “What do you want with a composter?” Suddenly, it became very peculiar that little ol’ me was asking for one. I calmly explained to them that I heard that compost would be great for my pot lab in our shed and they all rolled their eyes.

In all seriousness, I’ve wanted a garden for a long time but I question it. The Mister was quick to remind me that mosquitos are my #1 fan and the sun is my #1 enemy. My mother nodded in agreement and then told me to tell everyone that I got a composter when they ask. I didn’t remind her than I’m not in middle school and people don’t ask me that, so I’m sharing this information here. Does it need to go back? Am I being naive?

Third, The Mister gave me a t-shirt from Natalie Dee. It has this printed on it.

I’ll wear it after I’ve done some Zumba.
