Caterpillar

"Just when the caterpillar

Lauren:  "Yeah -- like birds!  BAM!  Watch out for birds!"

Angie:  "Right!!!  I like it that you said, 'BAM!'"

I love it that Lauren and I can have these totally random discussions while working-out.  We both decided that we enjoy working-out together because we talk and laugh and the time just flies by.  Plus -- BONUS -- if you laugh while working-out, you burn more calories.  It's win-win.  Plus it's just more fun to laugh OUTLOUD...
