Day 6: Hot Dog-o and Taco

Right next door to Jazzercise is this place:

This sign cracks me up on many different levels! (The picture is hilarious!; What a combo - hot dogs and tacos!; I didn't realize hot dogs were a Mexican food?; What is a hot dog-O anyway?; Their tag line "a fast casual restaurant" is just a funny description!)

=) I love it!

Oh, and on the other side of Jazzercise is Gus' Fried Chicken. So after you have worked off a bunch of calories you can step right outside and choose the calorie-filled restaurant where you would like to replace those calories!

Day 5: The Reason I Almost Had a Heart Attack This Morning

This morning, after hitting snooze several hundred times, I stumbled out of bed and into the living room. Through foggy eyes I saw this:

After a cold chill ran through my body, my thoughts were as follows:
What the...??
Oh my goodness a giant spider just crawled out from under my couch!!
Don't panic. What am I supposed to do...??
I can't squash it...that would be disgusting...
...Brownie--stay away from that thing!!
I'm just gonna have to trap it under a cup...
Do we even have spiders that big in Memphis??

It was at this point in my thought process that I realized this was not, in fact, a real spider, but a "surprise" left by my dear friends the Borgmans. =)
I should have figured it out a little sooner, as this same spider had made an appearance in my purse last week, but I can't say much for my brain at 5:45 on a Monday morning!
All I have to say is...Borgmans, you better watch your backs!
Just kidding!
Kind of.
=)
