Meredith Sparkles Burlesque

I'll never respect the national anthem again after this year.

Unfollow if you don't like that.

I just used ChatGPT to recreate the Planet Fitness 30 Min and I can do it on the gym floor now that they took away my circuit for me. It made it printable and one page that I can take with me and it designed a 4 week plan for me. I'm not proud of myself but at least I won't feel stupid at the gym!

This is so wonderful!! I love this!

"A beginning is a very delicate time..."

I still have a couple of these - cassettes & CD's - some of them I've made into playlists and still listen to them. The playlists are named the same as what my friends put on the mixtape.

Just an observation but I can get cardio walking outside or doing a fun video at home. I can't afford to have a private gym at home so when I go to the gym - it's for the weights. I do use the elliptical to get a nice sweat at the end but it's not the focus of my trip.

If it were just a few degrees colder - this would be a lovely snow. I'm not minding it though - I find it beautiful in it's own way.

The colors in this are lovely!

I'm old enough to remember when affiliating with the Russians / USSR (at the time) was a BAD thing and not something to be done so casually. WTF has happened to us?

Forced to watch Faux News at the gym. They are so childishly calling Tim Waltz “timid Tim” etc.! Are they a “news” source or a 3rd grade gym class! I wish I could change the channel! I’d enjoy the gym much more!

But will anyone hire people over 50? So many people get downsized and have to start their own businesses just to stay employed!

I am in awe of your organizational skills. Hope your decorating goes easy and ho ho ho!

I’ve only started teaching (a lot thanks to your encouragement) and I’ve been at this over 16 years! I can’t imagine learning how to take off your gloves and deciding to start teaching!

This news pic from New York had big “tell Cersei it was me” energy!!! Love you New York!

Christmas Angel on tree

Got my tree up and added mom’s angel to the top. My brother gave it to me after mom passed. Only cried once! The holidays are so damn hard!

There's someone that I am aware of and they are teaching weekly burlesque classes. They debuted about a year ago.. I cannot even sometimes..!! (also miss yer face!)

Pawpaw needs a lie down!

Not buying anything today except a beverage at my local Pub this evening! They may have given my vote to big money corporations but I don't have to give my money to them!

I spent 5 hours in the kitchen yesterday making a special dinner for two. No “thank you”, no “I love you” just bitching about how he has to work on Friday! I’m worth more than this!

Can confirm!

This is my second thanksgiving without my momma! If you have a good momma - hug her extra hard today!

I identify so hard with this!!!

When your holiday dinner is some cheese wheels and sweet rolls - you'll have regrets :)!

Wonder how many CBP & ICE agents are going to be eating turkey with their families after utterly destroying the lives of countless other families! I hope they choke!

They will arrive with your $5000 doge check and $2000 tariff check in about two weeks!

What I don't think AI companies realize is that I actually find thier tools useful but I want to CHOOSE when I use them, not have them flung at me with force every time I open my tool box!

Okay - please don't make fun of me because this I am very sincere. I am a brand new hockey fan (only started watching within the past 2 months) but where was the goalie in this shot? Was he out of position or some sort of penalty? I'm just trying to learn the game.

Wrestling storytelling is so fun when it's done well!

LOL!!! Thank you for the tip :)!
