Rebounding
Oh, people. Your little friend Jenny over here is on a roll. I'm rebounding like crazy. And I mean that sincerely.
That mini-trampoline I have at the foot of my bed? Oh, man. I'm having WAY too much fun on that thing. First I do little bounces. Then I go all "big air, yo!" Then I do tricks. Yes, ma'am. Tricks. I jump in a circle. I do little kicks and stuff. I make Shania Twain-like whooping noises.
Part of the fun is the fact that one of the TV channels keeps running that Bring It On movie, which instantly brings out my inner, wannabe cheerleader. I want to be one of the Clovers cheerleaders, though, not a Toro. I'm just saying.
My IQ drops with each repeated viewing, but it has the pulling power of Footloose. I'm sure by the time they stop running it, I'll be a slavering idjeet. I'll be all "Duuuuuuuuh" while I"m jumping up and down and whooping on the trampoline.
Oh, but it gets better. I've figured out how to sort of jog in place on the thing. So now I do this running-man move, and this other one where I lean forward and sort of kick my legs behind me, which allows me to dream of the day when I can, like my son, be a pain in my own butt.
I have to be careful, or I might become a work-out fanatic. I mean, can you imagine? That would be so out of character. What do you call a mini-trampoline fanatic? A mini-tramp? A tramp-o-natic?
Must be all those endorphins, combined with my Bring It On lowered IQ. Or endolphins, as my first grader likes to say.

OK, you know the scene where they're doing try outs and there's this really nerdy looking guy with the crazy face? That's Ryan Drummond http://www.RyanDrummond.com. I've known him for years and he's just that goofy. ANYWAY, glad you're having such a good time getting fit! GO GIRL! FLY HIGH! WHOOT!

I feel off mine a couple of weeks ago. I'm soooo graceful.

I'm liking tramp-o-natic right about now, Jen.
Seriously, this is why I just adore and admire you vociferiously.
My new word for the day. Now, I just need to remember how to spell it.....
You rock!

Bring It On is a GREAT movie! I'm lucky enough to have teen girls who are always up for watching it, so it gives me a great excuse. :)

Remember the rock band in Bloom County, Billy and the Boingers?
No? Am I that old? (don't answer that)
Since one of my favorite web sites is boing, boing that seems to be stuck in my head, only now I have this image of you doing tricks also while watching a cheerleading movie. Most confusing mental image, evar.

I snorted. Seriously. Tramp-o-natic? I'll giggle all day. And the images in my head of you doing the running man on a trampoline compare with my ability to do ANY move on solid ground -- I know you have this totally serious, I ROCK THE WORLD look on your face...do you do the sprinkler, too?

I have to admit that I really like that movie. I don't know why, but I do. And I like the last part - the montage where they sing "Hey MICKEY!" and they are all dancing around jumping and doing cheerleadery things.
I find it mesmerizing.

I have a rebounder that I bought about a year ago and have yet to try it. Thanks to this "reminder" I may just give it a go tomorrow!

Ha, I heard from the Dolly Mama that rebounding was the bomb. I went out and got one today. It makes me giggle just to bounce around on it (and believe you me, these days I need every giggle I can get!)
