making time ...

This whole royal wedding thing is insane to me. I love a wedding as much as the next person, but I REALLY DON'T get the appeal of today's event at all. Maybe I'm just out of the loop, but had my Facebook wall not been plastered with status updates about it, I wouldn't have realized that I had missed "HISTORY IN THE MAKING!!!" (That's a direct quote from a status. Exclamation points and all.)

But do you know what I think is the craziest thing about the whole royal wedding? It's not the expense. Or the fanfare. Or the dress (Note: I have no idea what her dress looks like).

Nope, it's none of that. It's the sheer number of people who got up at an ungodly hour to watch it happen. The number of people who "made time" to watch. And the fact that so many of those same people, swear up and down that they can't "make time" for exercise. Seriously? You just proved that you can. And that right there is why America is obese - The unwillingness to make time for healthy choices.

And with that, I step off my soapbox.

Am I really the only person who thought that this morning?
