I work out!

It is official.  I started training for my first half marathon on Monday.  I was worried about training out here because it is about a half hour drive to the nearest gym and in the winter I don't want to be driving everyday.  I decided to purchase a treadmill.  I wanted to get an old one that I can just leave behind when I change careers.  I found one on Craigslist.  Chris picked it up and brought it out for me.  I think it was made in the 70's.  It is old, ugly, and if I go too fast the speed starts wavering.  This picture actually makes it look way nicer then it is!  I told Chris that I was hoping it would fold up.  He said that when this treadmill was made, that technology did not exist! 

As I am running, this is what I sing...
I'm too sexy for my treadmill
Too sexy for my treadmill
Treadmill's going to break down

I'm too sexy for my shirt
Too sexy for my shirt
So sexy it hurts

And I'm too sexy for my safety goggles
Too sexy for my safety goggles, New York and Japan

And I'm too sexy for your FRC's (fire resistant clothing)
Too sexy for your FRC's
The way I'm disco dancing

I'm a model, you know what I mean
And I do my little run on the treadmill,
On the catwalk, on the catwalk, yeah
And I do my little turn on the catwalk

I'm too sexy for my Escape (es-cop-ee' like on finding nemo)
Too sexy for my Escape
Too sexy by far

And I'm too sexy for my hard hat
Too sexy for my hard hat
Whatcha think about that?

And I'm a model, you know what I mean
And I do my little turn on the catwalk (there is something on the rig called a catwalk..so this fits!)
Yeah,on the treadmill, on the treadmill, yeah
And I shake my little tush on the catwalk
(repeat)

I'm too sexy for my cat (bailey)
Too sexy for my cat
Poor pussy, poor pussy cat

And I'm too sexy for my bedazzled steele toed boots
Too sexy for my boots
boot's going to leave me

And I'm too sexy for this song.

This is neat-O burrit-O!

"Mystery city caught on camera from space revealed to be massive Midwest oil field.  As the camera hovers hundreds of miles above the earth, major cities can be seen by identifying the patches of light.  In once particular stretch of video, several major Midwest cities like Bismarck , Sioux Falls, and Minneapolis can be seen.  Ken Paulman noticed something else, another massive city to the west that he couldn't identify, brightly lit as the camera passed over.  It's the lights from the Bakken oil field in North Dakota.  The Bakken is reportedly one of the largest oil fields in the world, covering about 200,000 square miles in North Dakota, Montana, and Canada."

BAD IDEA

I worked for 44 days straight, 12 hour shifts, had 6 days off, and am now back at it.  I have been working for 15 days and today I just couldn't take it anymore!  I decided to paint my toenails and fingernails.  As I was painting, the MWD sat down on the couch beside me in our work shack.  A few minutes later, he was sawing logs.  I looked at the directional driller and he nodded his head.  It was time to pull the ultimate Dena prank!  I looked back at the sleeping MWD and both of his hands were exposed.  I started painting a light pink color on each of his nails ever so lightly so he didn't wake up.  I had to stop every few seconds to let out a giggle.  I got all 10 done and what a great feeling!  A few minutes later, he woke up.  He proceeded to send out all of his reports on the computer, cook breakfast, and text on his phone for about an hour without noticing the pink nail polish.  Let's just say, when he finally noticed...there was hell to pay!  I was on the alert!  Nothing was going to get by me.  I reach for my coffee cup, and what do you know...he has spiked my coffee.  Not with alcohol, but with HOT SAUCE!  Dena pranks=BAD IDEA!
