I am a person with no particularly noteworthy talents. This is not to say that I'm not good at certain things, I am. But I'm not "talented." Nothing comes naturally for me. If I want something, I have to pull it out of my ass with a lot of hard work and sweat and streaky … Continue reading My Unique Ability
Recommedation Letter and Losing Track of the Days
39 people came to the Yoga Challenge yesterday. And 39 people came today, too. Not all the same people, but some were the same. It's funny that the same number came on both days. I am losing track of the days of the week already. I know that today is "Day 2." Beyond that, not … Continue reading Recommedation Letter and Losing Track of the Days
Adding A New Worksheet To My Day
I've spent a lot of time today trying to figure out how I am going to do all the things I want to do, have committed to doing, and all the things I am currently "streaking." It's all coming together nicely, I think, except for 2 small things: sleeping and bathing. If it weren't for … Continue reading Adding A New Worksheet To My Day
The Era of the Mat Sandwich Ends
Last night I did a class for a college sorority. A friend of mine is the advisor and thought it would be good for them. So I had to set up the studio for a crowd. I put down 19 mats with blankets under them for added cushioning on the hardwood floor. Then I sat … Continue reading The Era of the Mat Sandwich Ends
Feeling Torn
So. It's late and I'm tired and I am thinking about what I am going to do with this blog once April rolls around (the day after tomorrow). I have this other blog I write on in April called Virtual Yogarians. It's a "multi-user" blog in which anyone who is attempting the Challenge is invited … Continue reading Feeling Torn
Eating Out
There's something great about eating out: ordering from a menu, having a cocktail, choosing a dessert. And the whole thing about having someone else cook your meal, bring it to you, then whisk away the dishes, leaving you to linger over your wine, or a coffee? Yeah. I'm all about it. So tonight G suggested … Continue reading Eating Out
167 Day Yoga Streak Ends
The other day my 167 day yoga streak, the one I kept track of in that journal up there, came to an end. That's almost 6 months of daily practice. Over. I'm sad about it. Really sad. If you're a regular here, you know I write about streaks a lot. I am, by nature, a … Continue reading 167 Day Yoga Streak Ends
How’s It Going?
I had to see my accountant today for the dreaded doing of the taxes. Hagar wears his hair in a gray crew cut, military-style, that, oddly enough, looks kinda cool on him. He does it stick-straight up like a newly sprouted lawn. After the initial handshake and how-di-do’s he says, "How's it going?" Now, when … Continue reading How’s It Going?
Spring Decorations
One reason I could never be an elementary school teacher is bulletin boards. All teachers spend a lot of time making their rooms interesting and stimulating environments for their students, but elementary teachers go hog-wild, changing things around based on the curriculum and the seasons. It's nice. I approve. But I could never get into … Continue reading Spring Decorations
Yoga Challenge Preparations
A week from today the Yoga Challenge begins. Yikes! I've been collecting registrations and trying to figure out how many mats will fit, and if I need any more stuff to make the experience better for the participants. Today I went to the studio and moved all the props into the lounge in "stage one" … Continue reading Yoga Challenge Preparations
