Big Ideas

So next time there's a big meeting to decide how the universe should work I want to be invited because I have a couple of great ideas.

1. The Pause Button. Do you ever feel like your life consists of tasks that just need to be done, then redone, then done over again? AAAAGGHHH!!! No matter how clean the house gets, how great your hair and makeup look, or how skinny your buns get, you're going to have to go through all that work again tomorrow and the next day and the next day just to maintain the same thing. I think we need a pause button. You just get whatever it is to the state that you like it, then hit pause. No more work!

Along kind of the same lines...

2. The Insta-Bod. You know, I think the thing that kills most people about getting into shape is that you have to eat carrot sticks and do step aerobics every single day for months and months before you have anything to show for it! I don't mind being a little squidgy most days, but every once in a while I'd like my old bod back, just for the day. So I think body maintenance should be more like housecleaning. No matter how big of a wreck it is, you can probably get your house looking pretty great in a day or two, right? And sure, it won't last long, but at least for that weekend when your mother-in-law is in town you can pretend that this is the way it always looks. I want a body that does the same thing! On regular days I can skip the gym and eat dessert and be a bit chubby. Then when I really want to look good I'll spend a couple of hours at the gym and throw some extra veggies in my salad, and voila! I get a super-bod for the day.

Of course, the most awesome thing would be if both these ideas were incorporated together. Then you could spend one day getting your bod looking super-hot, then hit that pause button! Now if I could just get an invite to that universe-planning party....
