friday fun with Kipper pics

Friday, 29 October 2004 9:47 A GMT-08
well it's time I put up some pictures of the boy. Kipper is 9 months old this week. Hard to believe. Even harder to believe is the fact he STILL thinks dining room hardwood floors are for POOPING. (((( sigh ))))Old cats are no match...for my supreme

okay it's a given that I do not have a full time job anymore. I am teaching fitness for a living now. However that does NOT imply that I am desperate, nor does it imply that because I have been available on a moment's notice before to sub, that I am

being home during the day, I get a lot of calls to sub classes. I never quite know when I wake up in the morning how my day will turn out. It's actually kind of fun.  (and it's a good thing I didn't do my own workout at home and wear myself out befo

I simply had to go back to sleep this morning. Mr. Yogagirl has been getting up before work for the last two weeks to hit the cardio and it inevitably alerts the Kippy man downstairs. Now that wake up has been shifted from 5:30 to 5am (ouch) it's alm

thoughts and ramblings...

Yep, it's Monday. I only managed to have one shot of espresso this morning instead of 2, and because I taught at both 8:15 and 10:30am, I kept myself from eating (and subsequently not having my food end up in my throat during class) until I got home

new directions.

Saturday, 23 October 2004 10:36 A GMT-08
among other things lately, I've decided to spend the next few months and beginning of next year finishing up my Yoga Alliance 200 hour program through Yogafit and I'm also going to start the process towards getting my personal trainer certification.

I just love reconnecting with friends I've not seen in awhile. It helps even more when they are a crazy-in-the-head-yoga-teacher just like I am. This one particular friend of mine, does a great job coordinating the recreation program at the church

I think I may have blogged about my hives before. They came on mysteriously when I woke up Dec. 1st 2001. The very day before Enron (where Mr. Yogagirl worked at the time) announced their bankrupcy. I've struggled with them since. They come and go b

so I taught this new class this morning at a local church where a friend of mine is the recreation ministry director. Okay the acronym for the church? It's CUMC. Now granted I have some 13-year-old-boy-I-just-watched-Team-America-World-Police-issues

part of my job at the facility where I coordinate the fitness program is to hire new instructors. It's a bit daunting because our community is off the beaten path. We're tucked in 2 miles off of the main highway and in a suburb of Houston that isn't

Friday night. Home alone. What's a single "man free" Yogagirl to do? Watch episode upon episode of Sex and the City, that's what. Phone rings...it's the ladies gym and they need an 8:30am sub for step. ((( thinking))) Ooops...better power

John Stewart just called Tucker Carlson a "dick" on Crossfire. Oh and he mocked his bow tie too. That is all.

I showed up at the ladies gym this morning all hot and heavy to roll out my new "ball moves" for the ball/sculpt class I was subbing and was greeted with a NO SHOW. Yep. 18 people were there sweatin' and rockin' to the kickbox class before

literally and figuratively. The weather in houston is absolutely phenomenal. reminds me of those days I was cooped up in a lab with no windows and longing for the chance to be outside instead. And now I CAN. It's awesome. Also Kipper and I are quite

On a beautiful Saturday afternoon in October of 1977 I was riding my horse at the side of the road on the way to my friend's house to go for a trail ride. (this picture was taken just a few weeks earlier) I came around a corner and was struck by a

ahh. It's been a entire Sunday of catching up on my Tivo watching. 2 weeks of John Stewart. A month of Survivor, a few Nip Tucks I didn't even know I had on there...and all the new VH1's Best Week Evers. I've had more debate recaps, Paris Hilton, zit

endless ones of not schlogging through a 40 hour a work week to go. Actually it's been nice. I've taught a lot this week, mostly subbing on late notice, and I've managed to keep busy most of the time. I can't even remember a day that I just sat on my

Feeling like such a fitness whore this week. the phone rings at 3:30. "Can you sub abs at 6:45 and step tonight at 7pm?" "Why yes, yes I can sub that". Even though it's not a regular format for me and I usually totally decline suc

poor kipper. He's been looking like such a ratty EWOK lately with all that hair hanging down in his face all the time. I took the liberty of creating him a "top knot" on the top of his head this morning to aid in keeping his fur out of his

A beautiful dream...STARTED TO STINK. What began as an incredible idea 3 weeks ago, just started to crumble the moment I agreed to it. I had to cut my losses and run. It was a hard decision to make but I know in the long run I'll be better for it. A
