thanks to everyone for their comments about my teaching dilema...after some thought, I've decided to make a compromise and hopefully it's one that will satisfy me, both gyms, and the members. So, I'm going to take the water class at

(( sigh ))...not even in Oregon where people give a little bit more about the environment can you escape this kind of thing. Remember me talking about the old house next door? It's the original farm house that was here in this area long before th

okay for semi-anonymous sake (and with a little algebra) here goes: Gym A: Hired me one week after I arrived into town. I teach 3x per week there, it's a pilates class, which is NOT my favorite format. I get paid $X.50 per class and if I get over

and not a good one either. I COMPLETELY spaced off that I was supposed to sub a pilates class tonight in Corvallis at 6:30pm. Yeah. So I'm sitting down to the first hot meal I've cooked in this house (albeit in a microwave) and I look up and

I have to say..... I've *really* been diggin' teaching fitness here in Oregon. At the two gyms that I teach, I've got a varied mix of people of all fitness levels and ages ...and each and every one of them seems genuinely happy

yes folks. It's me. Finally an update from the estranged and elusive Yogagirl. Who finally has internet. In the house. Not down at the bagel shop or at the local motel. But real live internet ..IN.THE.HOUSE. And she also has TV. And not just TV,

enough whining from me. let's start with the outside of the new house shall we? Built in 1996, this one story 1700 square foot home needed some serious updating. Not to mention some love and attention; behold the 80's grey and wedgewood blue

you know the one I'm sure. Where I'd pour out my heart and soul and tell you how homesick I am. Well folks, it's time has come. It's official. I'm homesick, heart sick and often have doubts about whether moving was the right thing
