Who are you, and what have you done with my wife?

Yesterday instead of wogging for 30 minutes, my wife wanted to take the dog for a walk since we've let the little booger get too fat. Well, as we were walking she says to me, "I can't believe I'm going to tell you this, but I was thinking about selling the black chair/ottoman in your office and putting a treadmill in its place." At that moment in time I almost tripped because I was so stunned at her comment. She is such a frugal little bookkeeper that she hates buying things that she thinks won't get used. (You've heard the saying that a treadmill makes a good shirt hanger....) I guess she has finally bought into the fact that I am really doing this and it's kind of inspired her to walk more.
In all actuality, I should have seized upon her moment of weakness and told her I needed some new golf clubs as well..........Anyway, that will come in handy when the weather may be too hot or wet outside so I'm off to look in the classifieds........

Take a look at "Play It Again Sports" on County Line, too. They seem to have some good deals. I sold them by Schwinn stepper the other day since I got our new bike trainer. They had a good number of treadmills and seem to back what they sell with service.

Good for you! My husband actually wants to get a treadmill, too! But unfortunately our finances won't allow that for now. But, he has already decided (with a little help from me, of course) that him and a friend will do this next year. And he actually goes walking with me when he has a chance now. (He's a C.P.A and December to May he can forget extra hours in the day). Good luck shopping for a treadmill!!! Hope you get lots of use out of it.

Hey-get the new golf clubs. You won't need to get a cart when you play. (think of the savings!) I mean 18 holes will seem like a walk around the block after going 26 miles.

Hey to your wife. ~~~waves~~~
