Spinning on the Full Moon

Our spinning class is held at the back right hand corner of the gym. I pick a bike, set the seat and handle bars to my height and tighten the hinges etc. I put on my gel seat, unpack my water and hand towel (to wipe up the sweat from my eyeballs), and I get on and start peddling to warm up. I had a FABULOUS class until...a fellow spinner told me I had a hole in my pants!!!

I wondered how on earth she knew I had a 'hole' because she was facing me throughout the class...not behind me! She told me that the instructor for the next class(setting up behind me in the gym) rushed up to tell her about my 'hole' at the end of the class. Apparently the girl who noticed my 'hole' asked my spinning colleague... "how well do you know that girl(me)?... she has a hole in her pants!" This INSANE question is the inspiration for my blog today!!!Let me explain to you why the 'hole' spotter's question is totally INAPPROPRIATE!

I have been embarrassed many times in my life and I will be many more...no big deal in my world really...it makes for great stories!! I've found 'holes' that could have been pretty embarrassing...like the size of a loonies in the thigh of my exercise leggings ...or even a little crotch 'peek-a-boo" before. That, I can cope with!OK....now brace yourselves everyone...my entire ass was showing!! I am not exaggerating!!! My entire ass was out of the black leggings I had on. I will also add that I do not wear undies because you can see them through skin tight leggings...so my big white shiny ass was protruding out of a 'hole' as big as your head! I cannot explain to you why I did not feel a rip or a breeze...I didn't feel any differing in temperature from the back door region at all! This is probably because my ass goes numb from the pain of that small bike seat being rammed into my ass fat!

So, imagine this. I am on a spinning bike, bent over the handle bars with my ass up in the air peddling like a son of a gun! My big shiny white ass is pointed out towards the rest of the gym. There are about 20 some ladies getting set up for a step aerobics class. When the class is over, I bend over and touch my toes and stretch out my calves. The first thing that enters the 'hole' spotter's mind is ..." who am I going to tell about this ladies 'hole'?" HELLO DUMB ASS!!!!!!!!! HOW ABOUT TELLING ME? Did I miss a day in etiquette class when I was young? Since when do you have to know somebody really well to tell them there is a 'hole' in their pants the size of New York and their shiny bare ass is hanging out? All she had to say is "excuse me but there is a hole in your pants". You would think out of the 20 ladies getting ready for the next class who were staring at my bare 'hole'...would have done or said something to me! To add insult to injury...the gym doors are glass so the general public in the gym can saunter by and have a bamboozle at my special 'hole' too!

Thank God I had an extra sweater to wrap around my ass...so I could back out of the gym to the safety of my car! When I got home I said to my hubby "look what happened to me tonight!!". He got me to bend over and I guess he had quite the view....like way more interesting than the full moon...he got an eye-full of the universe!

PLEASE... if you see more than you think someone is planning for you to see...take a chance and tell a stranger that their bare ass is sticking through a crater in their pants!!! I guarantee you...if someone would have approached me to inform me about the 'hole'...the last thing I would have thought was "I didn't even know that person!"

  1. Hi Lynn
    First let me say great blogging; I always enjoy reading them, and it has inspired me to "get moving" on those days when I just don't feel like it.
    I greatly enjoyed reading "spinning on the full moon"!! Its always funny when it happens to somebody else right? This is a situation that could have happened to anyone of us! You are quite the lady; I would have likely burst into tears and cancelled my membership!! lol ..
    Keep up the great work!
