There's a move in step aerobics called a "freeway." It involves turning as you go over the top of the step, such that if you start out facing the front of the room, you end up on the opposite side of the step facing the back wall. It is a very common move. Nevertheless, when I heard my step instructor call it out for the first time this evening, I could have sworn she said "slingblade."

Since I didn't understand what Keila was telling me to do, I just stood there until it dawned on me that I had misheard. I joined back in, but I couldn't stop laughing to myself as I imagined what a slingblade in step aerobics would look like. Do you hop up on the step while making a wide arc with one arm, simulating a slice? Do you move to the bench on the right while chopping the air menacingly? Do you run around the step while pushing an imaginary lawnmower?

It's been that kind of day. I've been walking into furniture a lot, too. Some people call it hell; I call it Hades.
