Lions and Tigers and Alligators, OH MY!



I'm not gonna lie.  I got out of the car, snapped this picture,
and then ran like hell back to safety.
30 feet is way too close for comfort.

The Not So Real World

MTV is airing a "throw back to the Real World" weekend.  OK.  Your first thought might be, "Why the hell are you watching MTV?"  I know.  But, seriously, I was just flipping the channels and it popped up.  I swear!

Real World Las Vegas is currently on.  Not my favorite season but I seem to be watching it anyway.  Trishelle: you're a ho.  Ugh.  What horrible tv.  It's amazing to think that this series was the birth of reality television.  I guess the afterbirth was Road Rules.

My two all time favorite seasons are the Real World Hawaii (who didn't think Collin was hot?) and The Real World London (Jacinda was so damn cool).
What's your favorite season?

The C Word

Commitment.  Something I've never been good at.  Hopefully that changes today.

My fingers haven't worked their magic on my blog in over four months.  Woops.  I can't even come up with a good enough excuse as to why I stopped.  I just did.  Like that.  (Snap of fingers.)

But, today, I start again with a new look and name to boot.  I decided that my previous title was a little too...extreme...too harsh.  Exsqueeze me is a little more playful, like my personality. I've found my happy place in Florida and live for my environment - for the sun to breathe its warmth on my face and the salt of the sea to kiss my lips.  I'm peaceful.  

Back to that nasty C word.  At this moment, I am going to commit to two things.  Number one:  to blog more.  Number two: to run.  Run is a four letter word in my dictionary.  I have NEVER been a runner.  Every school year when it was time to take the physical fitness exam in PE, my doctor would give me a note excusing me from the mile run because of my asthma.  I continued to use my asthma as a reason to give up without even really trying.  Well, I'm 28 now and it would be a huge accomplishment for me to run 1 mile.  That's my goal.  To run 1 mile without stopping or feeling that horrible sharp pain in my side.  I began my training this week with intervals of walking and jogging:  5 minutes walking and 1 minute of jogging for about 30 minutes.  Yikes.  The first day I did this was terrible.  The second time was better, but still painful.  Next week I hope to walk for 4 minutes and run for 1 and continue that trend for as long as I need to until I can just go.  

OOOooooo.  Just go.  I like it.
