Well at least I can say I'm happy it's Friday. It's been a tough week. Our new TV is in and it's *beyond* amazing so my plan for the next 72 hours or so is to just plant my ass down on the sofa and put myself in front of it. The cats are be

would the elevator stop on the 2nd floor, and a guy in a white coat get on with a full human pelvis in his hands. Par for the course around this place. It gave me a smile and a good giggle, then the doors opened on my floor and my long time friend an

so this afternoon we had to help her. She took a noticable turn this morning and there was no question about whether it was "time". Her extra big heart just finally decided to give up. I will miss my little girl so much. I can't teach my classes toni

for calling in sick this morning (cough cough) ahem.....but I'm expecting the cable guy to show up from 1pm-5pm. (don't you just love those vague windows they give us?) NOT. The weather is absolutely fantastic and it's just a beautiful day

No frickin' way...

is ANYBODY going to show up for the 3pm "Instructor choice" class today at the gym. It's about 70 degrees outside, and the sky is the prettiest blue with BIG white puffy clouds like the kind you see on the Simpsons. Now I *have* to make a showin

Add this to the list of BAD ideas..

Sonic Yoga, a studio in New York City, recently conceeded that referring to their monthly yoga workout on DVD as "FLOW OF THE MONTH" was probably not such a great idea. (((( snicker )))) things that make a yogagirl go hmmmmmmmmmmmmm.................

PiYo

Friday, 23 January 2004 10:29 A GMT-08
Always a sucker for fitness workshops, I signed up for a PiYo training on February 29th here in Houston. I have ulterior motives though since I'm trying to convince my instructors on staff to go and do it too, so that they will feel comfortable and c

Matthew is away for work overnight. (Midland Texas ..yeee hah!!!) This is *never* a good thing for me. I tend to use it as an opportunity to stay up entirely too late, watch bizarre television shows on the Discovery channel and eat crumbly food

So I had the annual well woman doctor visit this morning. When she inquired about my medications I told her I don't take them anymore, that Mr. Yogagirl got the "snip" a year and a half ago. She looked at me like I had just called her mother a damned

Upgrading to movie version 8.0

Sunday, 18 January 2004 3:02 P GMT-08
So Mr. Yogagirl decided it was time to go through the old VHS library and get rid of everything that isn't currently on DVD. So far the only things we couldn't find on Amazon.com (figured if they didn't have them they didn't exist yet) were the origi

Got some better news than I expected from the vet this morning. The dog's lungs are totally clear of fluid and don't seem to be congested at all. It's her enlarged heart pressing on her bronchials that is giving her this irritatin

Thursday, 15 January 2004 12:45 P GMT-08
grr..I've been so cranky lately. Just on edge, with a short fuse and irritable as hell. I think it's because so much of my life is in damned limbo right now and not one bit of it is going to approach closure anytime soon. I'm also feeling overwh

Today I am tired. The dog kept me up most of the night. It won't be long for my little girl now..she's coughing *much* more often. In fact if she's not sleeping, she seems to be coughing but yet she still waggles the tail for treats, is VER
