I've been obsessed with Pinterest lately. It's making me aware of things I like, things that make me happy, and places I would love to visit. But mostly, Pinterest has been making me think of things.

What I Had For Lunch
So nice to have the house back to normal. No more snowman placemats, no more holiday tchotchkes draping everything. Back to zen austerity.
2012 Reading List
Today I gathered together the books I intend to read this year and amassed them next to my winterized Space Chair for this photo-op. It's a good list, I think, but a long one. (Vishuda is my gargoyle hand puppet, in case you were wondering.) I have had these books in my possession for a … Continue reading 2012 Reading List
The First Post of the New Year
It's been a slow day. Kind of introspective. Spent a lot of time going back through archives just to see what I was resolving to do this time last year.

Spinning Plates on Sticks
I just realized that it's been almost a month since I've written here and there are actually few people who still subscribe to this blog who may be wondering WHY they do, given that there is clearly nothing happening here. I've been seriously considering blank-slating this blog and starting all over because I don't think … Continue reading Spinning Plates on Sticks
Just a Little End-of-the-Week Rant
The day itself was cold, but sunny, which was a real treat after yesterday's dreariness. So as I was washing up and contemplating going into my room and doing my practice, it occurred to me that, “Shit! Today is Friday. Friday is Yoga Workout Day at the studio!

The Colonoscopy Song
I took a friend to get a colonoscopy today and made several observations: #1. The "knock-out" drug for this "same day surgery" procedure appears to be pretty darned awesome.
