That's wonderful news, MM! I'm sure you're on pins and needles now. If I ran the world, V, everything would be listed. If you want to do "A", here are 10 things that need to be completed. End of story. Charlie is currently talking to a friend in Australia over camera phone. Technology is amazing sometimes. Today: double…

It must be the jet lag delay, I couldn't sleep either. I was thinking, while lying in bed, that day light savings is like jet lag without the vacation. Hope you hear news today, MM. I started the ball rolling to make a thank you for our teachers at yoga school. I want to do a card with everyone's picture on it, but I'm…

So where are the rest of the pebbs? Haven't seen Sarah or Bobbie in a while. The group from the "Deadliest Catch" is going to be in town for SXSW, and I thought of Wandering too. A cool front came through this morning, but it's still getting to 75 today - summer is approaching. We haven't had any rain in awhile, so I'll…

I am so ready for teacher training to be over. There are parts that I like, but a lot of times I'm bored/uninterested. I also, somewhat foolishly, thought I would make yoga friends. There are many cool people and all, but they have their lives, families, commitments. Or they may feel as weird or pushy as I do by asking me…

So I'm guessing the first week of couch to 5k is not "get off the couch"? I'm off to SA today - my kitties missed us much, so it's good that Charlie will be here. He's going to be silent this weekend (mediation non-residential retreat), so I'm sure they will get some attention. I just looked at the schedule for this…

Sense of gratitude indeed. Congrats on the news MM! Have fun on your retreat. I got a good amount of exercise in: a hour walk and 54 sun salutations - we lucked out and heard the class wasn't going to have the teacher I wanted that night, so we saved a trip to downtown Dallas. Today we will walk and drive back to Austin.…

I hope it helps, MM! I didn't get any exercise in yesterday. We were hungry when we got here and needed to go to the store and cook dinner. I slept well last night so I'm ready for the day. Have a good yoga class lined up tonight and will walk this afternoon. Beautiful day, boogaloo

Off to Dallas today after this morning's class. So I've decided what my 40 day challenge is going to be: no bread with butter (sandwiches are ok as is plain bread) and the only snack I can have is fruit. I hope to get a walk in tonight when I get to Dallas. 40 days, boogaloo.

Keep sane, keep going, keep hoping (CP, V, and MM respectively) So in a way I celebrated Fat Tuesday on Monday. I made chocolate chip cookies. Why did I make such a temptation you ask? Well, Charlie found this recipe for chocolate chip cookies from "Cook's Illustrated" (some high brow magazine that has an app on itunes and…

Back home. Ever notice you can be gone for just one night, and it feels like you were gone for a week? We stayed up late last night at cake fest - so cake fest was trying to find the best chocolate cake in Austin - a friend and I disagreed. We still disagree (we both were blind folded and picked our original cake). It was…

Up early, for me, as well. 5 lovely hours of yoga ahead with my favorite senior teacher. Had a great, hard yoga practice last night as well. Early, boogaloo

Have a fun road trip, MM. Plan for the day: short walk this morning, long yoga this afternoon. Tomorrow I'll be in Boerne, so I don't know if I'll check in. I can't remember if the hotel has wifi. I already have my meals planned, so all is ready to go. Road trips, boogaloo!

Train travel advice: since it will be winter, you will probably have a jacket, etc. It's frequently too cold/too hot on the train - seasons do not effect this. Bring headphones - the bigger the better - sound reducing ones would be the best, you can always have them on and nothing on the ipod (so you can ignore the person…

So, CP, I have to wonder about your language there: candy to go with the cat litter? :wink: I get a little teased because I don't fly. I stopped in 1991, except for a test flight to Dallas about 5 years ago that didn't go well. Anyway, my brother summed it up, "you just have to overcome your fear of death." Ok, yeah, sure,…

Charlie picked out/approved the colors, so I'm painting today. I need to do it today and maybe finish up tomorrow, since Thursday it will be humid again, sigh. Also planning on yard work this week, as next week is almost all out of town: Boerne 4th-5th (San Antonio outskirt), then Dallas 9-11, then San Antonio 12-13. I…

We miss you CP! My husband is a brilliant man in many ways, but he gave me the following piece of advice: When we worry about something, or we focus on something bad, we live it twice. Now, many times when I start thinking over something that happened or will probably happen, I tell my brain "stop". It's amazingly…

00000000000000000000 - a greeting from my cat - he sends you hugs. San Antonio today. I'm skipping school tomorrow to go to the cake show. Yes, silly reason to skip school, I know. I'm using the excuse that my Aunt is in town. I don't like to lie outright, but I do tend to conceal the truth. Yes, my Aunt is in town, yes, I…

Strawberries and cream, yum. Had a lovely meal last night, still thinking about the butter, I mean dinner. The best gnocchi I've ever had. My yoga mat inspired a theme for a group practice - they are going to play twister. Can you imagine a bunch of yogis playing twister? Today: double yoga? The notice isn't on the…

I'm so sorry, MM. :heart:

Think of the rental place this way - would you really want to rent a place owned by such people?

Glad you found hope, V. I'm sure you're on the edge of your seat, MM. The plan for the day: walk with a friend in the morning, two hour practice in the afternoon. I need to come up with some new class plans soon. I'm feeling a little uninspired though. That's it, boogaloo.

Yeah! MM! :bigsmile: Doing double yoga today - I don't know if I'll have time for a walk though - but I did a long walk yesterday, so I could take a break. I have such a fun week planned: yoga tonight, 2 hour practice followed by fancy dinner tomorrow, another 2 hour practice with a more relaxed dinner on Friday, San…

Hope you hear good news, MM! Hope you also hear news, V. I did a great job in class yesterday - maybe the best class I've ever taught. I was just "on". I had some a few unnecessary words, but not too many. BTW, one of the goals in yoga class is to teach without your "filler" words. Mine is "and then" - some people say "ok"…

Thanks for showing me the way, V. I like your new signature. I'm debating a little about biking today. I think I'm just being lazy, but I need to figure out the relationship between how much time I spend outside/inside and how much I cough. I also don't have any errands. I was going to go the the library, but it's…

I ended yesterday by watching "Inception" over at my parent's house. It was a nice, yet late, end to a good day. The Austin Marathon is going on this morning with 18,000 people running. I went to REI yesterday (forgetting about the marathon,even though it goes by my house!), and it was a zoo. I did get a new shirt, some…

I have a busy fun day planned. Double yoga class in the morning, meeting a friend for a late lunch - then I have the rest of the day off. I was going to see "127 Hours" - but there isn't a 7pm show :grumble: I don't think there is much else I want to see. I could rent "Inception" tonight, hmmm. I'll see if my mom wants to…

I'm a bit tired too, MM. I will get to sleep earlier tonight. Went for an hour and forty minute walk outside yesterday, so I got my vitamin D in. Also did some yoga at home. I put "yard work" on the calendar for next week. We have more warm weather ahead. I've decided to have a goal of losing 10 lbs by September. I told my…

Today I'm going for a walk with a friend outside. It's very Spring-like out there. I miss the cold a bit. Spring means yard work - which I don't mind when I feel I have the time. It's actually perfect for yard work today - overcast and the mid 70s. I'm still working on sitting down to eat - anything. I didn't realize what…

I cleaned and cleaned yesterday, did some rearranging, and now I have a yoga space at home :bigsmile: There are a couple of things I would like to change around still - most of them involve electricity, so I would have to get someone to come out (I want to move a chandelier). The windows are a job for this weekend. Today…

Fingers crossed for you referral - you can always pace on the phone, so that will count for something, right, MM? Good luck in your apartment search. Saw "Scott Pilgrim" last night and thought of you - music and TO. I'm holding up better than expected. I think he was ready to go, but I will miss him terribly. I feel free…
