Commitment

Today Jess came home for lunch, and I asked him about his workout this morning. I thought I heard the sounds of dumbbells being moved around, because on the other side of our bedroom wall is the part of the backyard where he lifts weights. Apparently he did a COUPLE lifts, but didn't really work out, because Jordan didn't show up. So I laughed at them, because they've been "WORKING OUT" for 2 or 3 months now. Which meant they got up at 5:45 am 3 days a week, for about 2, maybe 3, weeks. Then it turned into planning workouts almost 5 days a week, and cancelling at about 5:40 am each day. Haha. They take turns being the one who flakes out. So I make fun of them regularly. Not really because they aren't following through, because I wouldn't either, that early in the morning. It's more because they text each other every weeknight with their big plans, always pretending to be serious THIS TIME. Haha.

So today during his lunch break, he kept me laughing so hard I was almost crying, by reading me the last several texts they exchanged. So I told him I would need the transcripts for my blog tonight. He's agreed, and suggested I title this post "Commitment". I'll start back a ways, and maybe we'll make this a recurring installment on this here blog. Here we go:

Jess
Jordan

#1)

Jess, Sept. 7th, 7:18 pm: "Wanna lift tomorrow?"

Jordan, Sept. 7th, 7:19 pm: "Ya"

Jordan, Sept. 8th, 5:41 am: "I'm not making it, sorry."

Jess, Sept. 8th, 5:42 am: "No worries, later."



#2)

Jordan, Sept. 8th, 8:23 pm: "You ready for the morning?"

Jess, Sept. 8th, 8:24 pm: "Ready enough. :)"

Jess, Sept. 9th, 5:27 am: "Crazy late night for me. Gotta switch to tomorrow. Sorry."

Jordan, Sept. 9th, 5:43 am: "No worries of to" (Yes, that's what he wrote. Judging by his reply time and typing errors he'd missed his alarm and wouldn't have made it anyway)


#3)

Jess, Sept. 9th, 8:03 pm: "Sorry for the slackin this morning. Tomorrow's a definite if you are up for it."

Jordan, Sept. 9th, 8:04 pm: "Hell ya"

Jess, Sept. 10th, 4:26 am: "I started throwing up about an hour ago. Sorry man. Next week."


#4)
Jordan, Sept. 14th, 7:47 pm: "You ready to get back after it in the morning?"

Jess, Sept. 14th, 8:04 pm: "Yes, back on track tomorrow 5:45!"

Jordan, Sept. 14th, 8:05 pm: "Absolutely!"

Jordan, Sept. 15th, 5:45 am: "I just woke up, I'm gonna ditch, sorry bro."

Jess, Sept. 15th, 5:47 am: "No worries, tomorrow then."

Jordan, Sept. 15th, 5:48 am: "Yes!"


I have another month's worth of similar texts here, but I'll save them for another time. Haha.

I should really be quilting, or otherwise preparing for having a baby. Nighty night.

Oh my gosh...thanks for cracking me up this early in the morning. Too funny.

I got Jess to skip a bunch of evening workouts in college to watch "Joe Millionaire" on tv. I'm not sure which of us should be more embarrassed by that.

Brandi said...

REALLY Chris? Well he's pretty embarrassed apparently because he's never told me that. Awesome. Are you more embarrassed about that or the Monday night Seventh Heaven with me?

Brandi said...

Oh, Jess is denying it right now. He says first of all, a "BUNCH" isn't true, and now he's added that he NEVER missed a workout for it. Don't worry, I know he's a huge liar.

Chris said...

Joe Millionaire is definitely more embarrassing and doesn't even approach the level of contempt I held for each and every character on 7th Heaven, despite the utter contemptibility of everyone on JM.
Jess is probably just in denial.
