Recently, while watching football on the weekends, I have seen THIS Jolly Rancher commercial and it has become my favorite! I think it’s HILARIOUS! Gurley has been on my fantasy team a few times so far this season. I keep saying, “Dance Gurley man!… Dance!” My son shakes his head at me and tells me that it’s not as funny as I think it is. I don’t care. I kept saying it on the way to Barwis last Monday and when we stopped, before we got there, I showed my Mom the commercial and laughed and laughed. I think that is a funny line – “keep on sucking.”
Barwis was busy, there were a bunch of little kids there. I think there were 3 or 4 teams working out there. I worked with Sue and we did our normal PNFs. I was a lot stronger doing these and I talked about how I used to think that just being stretched out was NOT productive. I told her how I had to stop “Walking Wednesdays” with Adam and how Mike Rhoades used to stretch me out. I explained the “Ooh Doggie!” stretch to her and she completely knew what I was talking about. After we did that diagonal stretch that I’m not good at, she had me roll my leg out.
I remember doing this, or rather, ATTEMPTING to do this with BOTH Jesse and Phil. It was SO difficult that I was TERRIBLE at it! Thinking of the Todd Gurley commercial, I told Sue that, “I sucked!” and laughed and asked if she saw the Jolly Rancher commercial. She told me that I didn’t and then she bent my legs and I STILL could do it. It felt REALLY good! My Mom came over and she didn’t realize that I was the one moving my legs until Sue told her. I texted Jesse and Phil the good news. I told them, “Look who’s not sucking anymore” and explained the Gurley reference. I told Jesse, “who would have thought that it would take 2 years, 4 months, and 11 days?” Well, I didn’t think it would but it feels SO GOOD to get control of my legs again… regardless of how slowly getting that control takes…
I wished Sue a “Happy Thanksgiving” because that was the only time I was at Barwis before Thanksgiving.
