Fell asleep on sofa last night. Woke up in desperate need of massage as my neck, back and hips were not cooperating. Sum it up to say, mildly cranky mood.

Off I trudge to the gym to pay my dues to the Elliptical machine gods. Headphones on watching videos. Two women (late 20's) get on the 2 ellipticals next to me and spend the next 30 mins yacking away about one of their's date last night. I wasn't eavesdropping, I tried turning up the volume on my headphones but they were SO loud. This apparently was a 3rd date. She had to recount dates one and two as well. On date 3 (in a week) they are already discussing their 'relationship'. I was biting my tongue to keep from laughing. The other girl asked her at one point what he did for a job. The girl didn't have a clue. Their date involved a movie he picked out especially for her. (Blue Velvet)

At that point, I laughed out loud. I mean, how cliche/unsubtle can you be?

(They thought I was laughing at the TV)

They were barely ellipticalling (new word) because they were yammering so much. The other girl asked if he was a good kisser. (Looking in the reflection in the glass, and judging by her stammering, it was pretty clear the movie was a success. She said they fell asleep watching the movie. B.S.!) I did my 45 mins and was ready to cut my ears off. So I decided to retreat to the sauna with book in hand...

Not three minutes later, the Yammering Duo come in. First they take forever to come in - letting out all the hot air. Then they start complaining about how hot it is. (It's a sauna, duh!) So they keep walking out and coming back in while continuing to talk about the 'relationship'. I swear they were already planning out reception sites and bridesmaid color schemes.

At this point, I'm considering if I could take both of them down and 'accidentally' drown them in the whirlpool. If anyone had heard them blabbering, they'd definitely say I did it as a result of temporary insanity.

P.S. I'd SOOO love to hear the guy's version of the events and the high-5's on the guys' side of the locker room.
