This morning the woman who stayed in our house and took care of Boomer while we were in Portland stopped by to return a book she borrowed. While she was here, I foisted another one on her. Not this Seth Godin, but a newer book by him. If she likes it, I'm going to foist … Continue reading Foisting Books on People

Sitting on the Tarmac in Chicago
Departure day is always a little sad for me but even more so today because it was the last time at that house. In August they move to Beaverton and a bigger place with a green space in their backyard and a network of bike trails that extend for miles. It's a good move for … Continue reading Sitting on the Tarmac in Chicago
Pacific City to Portland
We left our great VRBO in Pacific City this morning, but last night we watched the sun set into the ocean (which is unusual for us East Coasters who only see the sun rise over the ocean.) It was cold out there, at least for me who has the blood of a snake. But well … Continue reading Pacific City to Portland
I paid $3.99 so you could read this
Getting up at 3:30 wasn't so bad. And even though it was foggy as hell driving to the airport, got there without hitting a deer. (I am the only person I know who has never hit a deer. The streak continues.) My luggage weighed 32.9 lbs. I won "the lightest luggage" contest among my travel … Continue reading I paid $3.99 so you could read this
The Dominant Doe Goes With The Flow
This is a post from 2009. I went into my archives looking for what I might have been doing in early June in some other year. I found this post from 6 years ago. I was so tickled with this one because it has a picture of Fred and I. G and I just came … Continue reading The Dominant Doe Goes With The Flow
The iWatch is Rad
I am an unapologetic first adopter. I don't wait for the next, and probably better version of new gadgets and gizmos. I got the first Kindle. I got the first Ipad. Today my iWatch came. I ordered it on April 10th, the first day it went on sale. I must say I was a little … Continue reading The iWatch is Rad
Mother’s Day
A Guest Post in honor of Mother's Day-from "The Mysterious G" Holidays are complicated for many people and Mother's Day tends to be one of those "complicated" holidays for us. Kath did not have a "dream" Mother. She had a complicated and complex relationship that ended long before her Mother's death. She does not enjoy … Continue reading Mother’s Day
Emotions.
Tomorrow at this time, the Yoga Challenge at Main St Yoga will be over for another year. One of the Challengers, and a fellow blogger, posted this on her blog today. She’s a terrific writer and her words touched me. Quite the testimonial, no? Thank you, Brittany! Much love.
Today is day 29 of the Elite Yoga Challenge. It’s been a breeze this year. The hardest part has been juggling the kids and traveling for childcare on days that my wonderful fiancé can’t make it home from work in time.
I haven’t blogged daily this year (obviously) about the challenge. At first, I meant to. But then I came to the realization that I didn’t need the accountability like in past years. I simply NEEDED the yoga and the companionship from my yoga tribe. So I decided to be intentionally selfish and soak it ALL up myself instead of sharing it. “Be selfish to be selfless”. That sort of thing.
Now that it’s almost over I’ll admit that my (almost ever-present) anxiety is starting to flair up. I have issues. There are 59 days until my wedding. My to-do list for said wedding is still pretty long (though I…

How many streaks are too many?
I want to start another streak. A yoga streak. I need to get my personal practice back. Bad. The other day I subscribed to Udaya so that I would have lots of classes to choose from and no excuses. My pre-streak started today when I woke up, took a hot shower, slathered myself in coconut … Continue reading How many streaks are too many?
A Few Things That Made Me Happy This Week
1. Today it was sunny and in the 40s (omg, my face didn't hurt when I walked outside!) 2. And G's wheatgrass is up! 3. I did a private Beginner Yoga lesson today with a delightful woman who came in with a new mat (the absolutely worst mat she could have gotten, but oh well, … Continue reading A Few Things That Made Me Happy This Week
