Attack of the Pink Gadget

Oh No, Help! I own a gadget and its taking over my life ( well if you can call a pink thing with 3 buttons a gadget) it only has 2 objectives and they are both nasty, evil and cruel. It wakes me up at 7am 'pinging' in my ear, every morning and then counts every movement I make during the day to prove to me how lazy i am. it’s a nasty little piece of electric pink plastic, and its governing my life…I keep getting to my car, unlocking the door, getting in then feeling so guilty I get back out and walk…yes walk, all the way to Starbucks, its exactly 3000 steps there and back…This retched little thing was of course bought for me by my darling hubby who also has his own and we have gone into fierce competition to see who covers more distance throughout the day…generally I am ahead of him, as I run neurotically up and down the stairs most of the day loosing things but just as I think I have definitely beaten him, he does a sneaky little trip in to town and WALKS all the way back (20,000 steps) I am beginning to think in steps, the whole 'time thing' is totally passé in our house, minutes, hours even days mean nothing to us, its all about the PC (pedometer count) I think I am at a slight disadvantage as hubby gets up at 530am every morning to “write” Aha i am on to him...I bet he is sneaking in a little run before breakfast, 'must start checking his PC early in the morning. One advantage I have is I can take it out at night... snuck it into my handbag other eve….popped into Bella Pollens book launch..we walked, OK it was only in the hood, but in 6 inch platforms its an achievement..2300 PC later-I am way ahead of hubby and he doesn’t even know I have it with me HA! I kept doing laps round the room, everyone thought I’d turned into one of those social nightmares that never listens to the conversation being held as they are too busy looking over their shoulder for someone more important, only my more important was getting to the otherside of the room and back as many times as possible……BTW would love to plug Bellas book and get you all to buy but I haven’t read it yet…but I can say it has a beautiful cover, so definitely intend to…and its hard back, cant stand a paper back book….i just read Valley of the Dolls, I always thought it was a literary classic, one of those names I had always heard about and pretended to know what they were talking about…anyway picked it up the other day ( because it was in hard back and had a beautifully designed special edition cover) turns out its like reading the Daily Mail social pages during the 60’s…loved it!!! Anyway better not chat too much, have to go take my pink gadget for a walk...it is worse then having a dog i swear...talking of which..'am thinking of tying it to the neighbours dog for a while, that would def get my PC up...do you think it would notice if i developed 4 legs and started barking? Hmmm barking on all fours..probably not much different then the way i come home most evenings!
