I received a call from the membership director after my not-so-fun experience trying to join the YMCA. She was very nice and apologetic so I agreed to meet with her and ended up joining after all.

I had written a letter of complaint, my first ever, however she told me she heard about what happened via email first. I was a surprised to hear this. Later in the week, I received a message from my mystery emailer who read about it on my blog. I want to thank said reader for alerting the higher ups to my experience there. It is very much appreciated.

Suddenly, I feel drunk with power. Am I now a blogging force to be reckoned with? Am I like those influential, all-powerful Mommy Bloggers®? Should I start posting links to products I endorse and my massive traffic of faithful readers will crash those sites by overloading their allotted bandwidth?

Um, yeah. Not likely. When I look at my blog stats, the text, "Bitch, please," comes up flashing in red.

And I am perfectly okay with that.

Now if you'll excuse me, I have lots of cheesy, cardio-inducing pop songs to add to my iPod for my first workout.
