An Epiphanette and Some Randomness
This doesn't quite qualify as a full-blown epiphany, but it is a damn fine idea, if I do say so myself. You know those cable ties used for organizing computer cables? You bought them but you never managed to get around to using them so they've just been cluttering up a drawer for the past four or five years? Oh, c'mon. I know I'm not the only one. 
Anyway, did you know these cable ties are the perfect instrument for scrunching up t-shirt sleeves? Official sleeve scrunchies are around $5/pair, while cable ties can be found for as little as $1/dozen on Amazon.Decluttering and new fitness apparel, all in one swoop. Some days I amaze even myself.
Continuing randomness...
Trainer Kevin is off in some bodybuilding contest this weekend, so Trainer Wayne pinch hit. Ouch. Dumbell Walking Lunges, Bulgarian lunges, and a whole host of other forms of torture. I loved it. :D Seriously, it was a great Friday night workout. Considering that my work schedule kept me from a proper workout on Wednesday night, I'm not going to complain too loudly. Well, except to Wayne.
More randomness: Today's DLM feed contained an interesting article: The 60-Second Guide to Healthy Living. Nothing new, but a nice checklist all the same.
Final randomness: Here's a new trend I'm noticing in local food-type places: tip jars at the cash register! ::scratches head:: I stood in line for 10 minutes, then waited the 2 minutes it took them to slide my sandwich down the veggie line, wrap it in paper and hand it to me across the counter. And for that they want a tip? Lest you think I'm sounding miserly, I promise I'm a generous tipper in full-service restaurants and other service venues (manicurist, hair stylist, etc.) I even double tip between Thanksgiving and Christmas! I just don't feel it necessary to tip for a 2-minute interaction in which the transactor moved a total of 3 feet. I'll admit I've given into it, to some degree, by dropping the coinage from the return cup into the tip jar at my favorite Subway (they start making my turkey sandwich when I drive up!), but I'm not all that happy about it as a general trend. And so help me, if there are tip jars at the cash register at JCPenney tomorrow, I'm going to 100% online shopping. I'll just have to learn to cook. ::shudder::
Well, I've zigged and zagged all over the place and made myself a little dizzy. I'm sure I've forgotten something along the way. Oh well, there's always tomorrow.
Speaking of tomorrow, I hope yours is superb and that you have a most enjoyable weekend!

Congrats on doing a kick-a*s workout - and loving it! Did you ever think you'd see that day??
I loved your random, zig-zaggy post. It's all good, m'dear!
PS - Stop by my blog if you get the chance, and read about a fun summer contest I'm holding. Yes, a prize is included!
Who'd a thunk it? Enjoying all that exercise? Way to go!!
What a genius you are thinking up all by your little ole self how to save money and use the cable ties in the drawer.
I haven't encounterd the tip jar at the fast food places yet but I'm with you. I don't think so, not for a couple minutes of work and a few feet walking.
I'm with Pattie...I love random posts. I think sometimes we find out more about each other in them than we do the well-thought-out pieces.
I have to say I was worried when I saw the title because I had no idea what an "epiphanette" was and I was feeling so bad that I was lacking in some way! lol
Way to get in a good workout..always nice to do that on a Friday, too!
They have those lovely tip jars all over down here and I don't agree with them either. Ugh!
Hope you have a good weekend
I LOVED THE RANDOMNESS.
(are you soresore from all that workingout HARDCORE?)
and am now going to place a tip jar on my desk and see what it brings me :)

I love the cable-tie tip! I have some of those kicking around here somewhere - though DH is one of the four people on earth who actually USE them, but you know you always get too many.
Tip jars annoy the crap out of me. As though prices aren't through the roof for everything right now anyway...let's add a guilt-fee on something you already paid for...
Gah. But yeah, I generally give in. Cause I'm a wuss that way and I've been well-trained in the guilt arena! :-)

Awesome tip!!
I usually only put into those tip jars if they are nice kids, and they don't burn my sandwich when I get it toasted.
That's hilarious about the computer ties. Good find!!
I hate tip jars. I really do. I feel guilted into giving money. They especially bother me at Starbucks, where I'm already paying an insane amount for coffee.
