In Which I Cancel My Jazzercise Membership–Again

August 9, 2010 in Jazzercise, Precariously Perky Julie, The Queen of Pain

Every few months I realize that I’m not home enough to make regular Jazzercise participation a reality. It’s more like something I really want to do, and so, in one of my alternate realities, I Jazzercise daily. Here in the real world my attendance is not so regular. But the draft to my checking account is.

So, every now and then I go in and fill out a form to cancel my draft. Precariously Perky Julie (who owns the place) is no dummy. You can’t cancel by civilized method like email or phone. You have to go there and fill out a form. Which makes you think, “Well, if I can drag myself in there to fill out the stupid form, maybe I should just put on my dancing clothes and go dance.” I have done this several times.

Every time I go through with the cancellation, I email Jules a day or three later and say, “Never mind.” Because every time I cancel, my schedule shifts (because Sugar’s does) and I end up being at home because I don’t typically go with him on a trip if he’s flying. Precariously Perky Julie WILL allow you to cancel your cancellation via phone, email, smoke-signal–whatever. Like I said, she’s no dummy.

Today is August 9th. We are 221 days into 2010, and I have MAYBE been to 15 Jazzercise classes. I’m thinking I need to come up with an exercise plan I can actually execute. I’ve decided to make an iPod playlist and dance in the family room–just do random Jazzercise moves I’ve learned over the years plus whatever the music moves me to do. I think I’ll call this Spazzercise. If I’m out of town, I can Spazzercise in the hotel room.

Since I’ve already paid for August, I’ll go dance with the Queen of Pain today. That way, I won’t have to have the argument with myself about whether or not I should just go (because I can today) or cancel. I’ll do both.

I’ll let you know how long it lasts this time.

Peace, out…

Susan

    “Spazzercize!” I love it! I may try it in the privacy of my home, with blinds shut tight.

    There will be no cancelling. We will be giving you a new Rx to help you deal with “Sugar-withdrawal” since when “Sugar” travels without you you seem to keep a headache…

    You know, QOP, I’ve never put that together, but you’re right. My migraines are Sugar Withdrawal Headaches!

    Remember “Hotel New Hampshire” and grandfather Bob? He was the one who said (with regard to weight-lifting in that case, but it also works for any kind of exercise)”You got to get obsessed and stay obsessed.” That way,you can’t NOT do it. Spazz on!

    Holy Cow! If you are able to cancel between Julie and Casey I have to see this one. Besides think of it as a monthly charity gift………keeping the center open for the rest of us and keeping food in the mouths of Casey’s kids 🙂

    This reminds me of falling asleep while watching the fitness channel. My husband has found me that condition many times.

    Mary, I’m sure if they were doing something more intersting, that wouldn’t happen. 🙂

    Anonymous Betty: As I’m sure you know, that didn’t work out the way I’d planned. Looks like Casey’s kids will get to continue eating. 🙂

    Bob, I think I’ll have that put on a t-shirt… 🙂

    Spazzercize! So that’s what I’ve been doing! Just hope no one peeks in the window. They might call 911 on me.

    It has occurred to me that could happen here, as well. At the very least, it could scare the neighborhood children. Note to self: cover all windows before start of Spazzercise session. 🙂
