I love hearing from readers, not as much as I love wine, but a VERY close second!

Thanks!

I Will Never Date a Personal Trainer, or a Polygamist.

I had my first polygamy date last weekend. I know what you’re thinking… I live in Utah why have I waited so long?

It was sort of forced on me, just like that entire box of vegan fake Oreo cookies I had for lunch.

Summer and I were minding our own business at the gym Saturday afternoon when her trainer boyfriend came over to say hello. I suspect his hello isn’t so much a greeting as it is a form check. I think that’s what it’s called when you’re lifting weights. I don’t speak trainer. I speak profanity.

The two lovebirds started planning their Saturday night date and before I knew it, I was part of the plan.

“Summer, polygamy is sooooo not my thing.”

“The only time I see you is at the gym and Trainer Boyfriend never gets to see you.”

“Well I can see how that’s sort of problematic. I’d miss me too.”

“Sarah, you guys can talk about the country and stuff.”

The girl knows how to manipulate me. I love country talking with fellow country kids.

Saturday night came and went. We had a lovely threesome, err, night out. It was just like how I imagine polygamy to be.. we drank lots of wine, watched a movie about a washed up country singer–ahem.. my column— and I didn’t even have to drive. It was a dream come true.

I could really get into polygamy. Who doesn’t want a husband AND a wife. Best of both worlds, right?

My excitement didn’t last long.

Monday when I met Summer at the gym for our arm workout, she explained the new leg routine Trainer Boyfriend had planned for us later. Just hearing about the workout made me want to punch wet kittens. Trainer Boyfriend is a jerk. I’m never going to polygamy date him again–no matter how hot his girlfriend is.

That's What She Said… About Sunday Stripping

My column this week is about stripping in the name of fitness. Take note of the comment left by Anna. She had some really great words of advice. I feel sexier already! This may or may not be the vodka talking.

OK, it is.

Lest you think I’m day drinking, this post was written at night. Really, I promise.

Also, day drinking is my favorite weekend hobby.

How many minutes until the weekend?

That's What She Said… About Apolo Ohno

I’m finding myself more and more obsessed with the Olympics, especially Apolo Ohno.

You can read my love letter to him.

While you’re doing that, I’m going to drive around South Jordan trying to find his house. It’s not stalking if it’s love.
