NOT A NORMAL TUESDAY

Usually my Tuesday nights consist of coming home at 5:30, sorting through the mail, cleaning the kitchen, eating dinner and watching House at 9 and Nip/Tuck at 10. However, yesterday was a different Tuesday.

I left work and met Va at her gym. It’s this really cool gym where no one stares at you when you work out – it’s out there in Chantilly. I was her guest so we worked out for a little over an hour and then came back to Fairfax. We went to Wegmans to get salads – We love Wegmans. Mmmm…Wegmans. As we’re checking out, Va says, “Gees what’s up with tonight there’s nobody out…” I replied, “That’s because everyone’s home watching the Biggest Loser!” She says, “Not yet, it comes on in 10 minutes we have to book it home.” The checkout lady says, “Don’t get a ticket.” We both looked at her like what? And then we turned around – yeah there was definitely a cop behind us looking concerned who was hearing our usually loud and pointless chatter. We left after we laughed at him and told him we were good drivers.

So we get home right at 8. The Biggest Loser Finale was immediately turned on. So we sat and ate our salads with extremely fatty salad dressing while we watched how much weight a lot of fat people lost. It was definitely ironic and quite humorous…especially watching this show with Va.

[Disclaimer: I am in no way making fun or laughing at the purpose of this show – I think it’s great that these people have gotten their weight under control. Va and I both have our own fat and in no way would we ever be shown on the pages of US magazine in the “Stick Thin – Why Don’t You Eat Something?!” pages next to Nicole Richie…therefore we felt it was ok to make a few jokes at the expense of the fat people on this show.]

Our time of watching the Biggest Loser was filled with comments like these: “Oh my gosh!! Look at him he looks great!” “He’s a hottie now!” “Ew, look at his before picture!” “401 pounds?!” “Oh Gosh, shoot me please if I ever look like that!” “She’s a cat lady for sure!” “Jello sponsors it?! Who cuts Jello in squares?!” “That host needs to go on the Biggest Loser…she looks aweful!” “He’s crying again! Why do you always cry??!” “This salad is good…how’s the soup?!” “I wanna look like her! – No you don’t!” Throughout all the confessionals on the show, Va started singing…”Fatty Mcfatterton….I’m a big fatty….I have man titties….” HILARIOUS!

So it was a great finale and the biggest loser of both weight and emotion won. And it’s always a great time with Va! After she left, I wished Andrew a Happy Birthday, watched Nip/Tuck and took a shower.

Not so normal of a Tuesday I’d say. I need more Tuesdays like this…but without the fat people.
