'you got to get here earlier!'

So this morning my alarm clock went off at 6:30 but i didn't wake up until 8:30. i think it was because i had been up so late the other night when i did my LA debut of karaoke. Well... here's what happened.

Linds wakes up, checks the clock, no, it's not too late to make it to the pool. So she throws on her swimsuit, and jumps in the car, hair every which way behind her. When she walks into the pool, she isn't surprised to see that everyone there is black. The lifeguard throws out a, 'You got 13 minutes! Lap swim closes at 9:00.' She goes for the gold, swimming, heaving, breathing. When she comes up for air at the end of the 3rd lap, there's this guy right there in her face and he's like, 'you don't got goggles?' Linds is like, 'no...' and keeps swimming, stroking, kicking. . . remembering all those attempts her coaches made to hone her skills. well, before she knows it, times up. Again, the buddies in the next lane are like, 'you got to get here earlier, girl! none of this 2 laps stuff.' it was cute.

i felt good leaving the pool. maybe next time i'll feel even better, if i can squeeze in another lap or two.
