Swim Lessons

This afternoon I made oatmeal chocolate chip cookies just because I wanted to. What a life. But Thomas and I have been on a healthy eating kick so now I'm trying to decide if I should hide them before he comes home from work.
We got free three-month memberships to the gym so we've both been on our own little exercise routines, mine consisting solely of swimming laps in the indoor pool. I have to stop after every lap to catch my breath so it's a little embarrassing. The other day the lady in the lane next to me stopped to tell me that I was swimming wrong. I, of course, exaggerated and claimed I was eight months pregnant even though I wasn't quite that far along. She still told me I need to force my head down and my butt up so I tried it. I was already on my last lap so she gave me the advice and then I swam to the other end, got out, and left :)
Yesterday I went in the afternoon right when these dark rain clouds had come out. The pool was totally empty and the place looked really eerie. I swam three laps and then got spooked and left. I don't like being alone in water. My imagination goes crazy with scenarios of snakes, sharks, and alligators being accidentally transported into random three lane lap pools across the country. Probably the next terrorist plot. Anyway I took an extra long shower in the locker room so that the people at the front desk wouldn't look at me weird for leaving after only 10 minutes.
