Meet Cornelius

Most of the possessions I hold dear to me have a name.

There's Henry, my bed

Percy, my laptop

(or wait..is it the other way around?)

and the latest addition to Aja's Happy Family of Things:

Cornelius, my stability ball

if you look below, you will see Cornelius,

being sat on by me.

Bet he's thrilled.

No, I am not one who gets sucked into the latest fitness trends

or diets.

But when every pair of pants I own are tight

( even the ones that used to be loose)

One has no choice but to look for a remedy

This is mine, and it's a fun one at that

Previously, Corny and I only hung out in my room.

I lay, stretched, squatted and rolled around on him to oblivion

Yesterday I thought

Maybe he's ready

Maybe it's time

Maybe Corny and I

need to be seen together in public

He watched me warily as I got ready for work

not quite sure if he was ready for the

'real world'

Then into the office I tottered

Ignoring the 'crazy girl' stares

I sat on Corny for 8 hours straight

(very smart, for first time)

and this morning my back

ached so much

I could hardly get out of bed

Hah, you laugh now!

But wait til I have the posture of a princess

Sleek, lean thighs

and a butt like Mrs. Marc Anthony
