Slothdom...is that a word?

My 3 day descent into slothdom ended today. I guess I can remove the "lazy" icon from my blog today. Maybe it was due to the rainy weather, but I have done nothing but sit in my recliner and sleep for 3 days. I hate feeling that way. It just makes me want to do even less the longer it goes on. I think it officially ended last night after I went to my Yoga class, which always makes me feel great.

Today I had a good workout while listening to my Ipod, then went to a movie. Saw Wedding Crashers and had some good laughs. It wasn't very realistic, but it was entertaining for a couple of hours. I like Owen Wilson. He's a Texas boy who attended UT.
