T minus 8 hours and counting until the New Years Eve pool party at our place tonight.   Luckily Houston has blessed us with temps in the 70's this afternoon and tonight's low should be around 58. We started heating the pool yesterday. It to

Best laid plans...

I had every intention of making today a "myoplex day". Hell ..I even started it out right this morning with a myoplex and flax oil..something I've not blended up in oh..maybe since the Jurassic period? After spending my morning running errrands and t

Gen Gorder is insane....

Monday, 29 December 2003 8:17 A GMT-08
Okay you know how Genevive Gorder never wears shoes on Trading Spaces? She's a complete idiot. For a home improvement update: the dining room has painted walls, a painted ceiling, new floors, new lighting and crown molding. Matthew has a br

all I want for Christmas are my table legs...

Friday, 26 December 2003 4:30 P GMT-08
Our new dining room furniture was delivered today as planned. However, important things like table *legs* did not accompany the table *top* ...as planned. They say it might be next Tuesday before we get the legs from Dallas, provided they were shippe

the new color of my dining room...actually it dries a beautiful green (Behr calls it "Caraway") ....but let me tell you that first brush stroke??? Matthew and I just looked at each other with this "what the hell color did we pick???" look on our face

frustrated...

First, I drove around for an hour today to find the food bank and once I got there I discovered that it's closed for the holidays... until *January 6th*!! What kinda food bank is that?? What about folks that need food for Christmas? ppffftt

that's the sound of me enjoying my first monday off in a 2 week stint of vacation.... The benefit yoga class last night was good..smaller than I had expected with only 8 people but I managed to collect about a 1/2 a shopping bag full of food to dona

well I had huge plans of being productive this morning and then got sucked into 3 hours of a vortex known as "Rich Girls" on MTV. I think the saddest episode was watching Ally meltdown because she was hungry and wanted to make a "burrito" and had to

I had a yoga student hand me a little gift after class last night. On the tag she wrote, "thanks for making my life better". Wow. What a power packed statement. I think that one little sentence sums up my whole experience with yoga. It simply ma

I'm a virtual Sherlock Holmes this week...

first finding out 2 CDs were identical, then today figuring out my whole "phone stalker" issue. Yep. He called again today and like always, after asking if I was available, hung up as soon as I said "speaking". This time I wrote the full 10 digit n

A few weeks ago, I had told my Turbokick mentee that we would work on her skills and she could work up to teaching solo last night. When I emailed her yesterday morning and asked if she was ready ....she hesitated about it and looked to me sayin

Would it be foolish??

Wednesday, 17 December 2003 3:02 P GMT-08
To go see "Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King",  a 3 hour and 30 minute long movie that starts at 9:55pm tonight??... on a work night? Damned Turbokick. If not for that we could hit the 8:30pm show. Although I guess an hour of sweating

Coco's comment (hi!) in that last post got me to thinking ....I am very picky about my yoga class music..and it's not often I play the same CD for 2 classes in a row. Here lately I'm really grooving on the Buddha Lounge series but my tastes tend

and it's a big one. I'm half way through this last week and headed towards a 2 week vacation starting Saturday. I can almost FEEL it. I gave out "wish stones" in my yoga classes last night. Got some nice inexpensive ones from the Oriental Trading C

This morning in the lab the phone rang. It rang in as an outside call, but had a university extension to it, a 500-xxxx number. A guy (adult male sounding) asked for me and when I said "speaking", he hung up. I thought he would ca

I got this question not once but twice yesterday. The first one went like this: 1. "I'm bleeding and having contractions and I don't feel very well in my lower back.. The doctor told me today at my appt. the baby could come in 24 hours to 3 days. I

I was pretty shocked to open up my Yogafit "Angles" magazine on Saturday and read that Beth Shaw flew over the handlebars of her bike a few months ago and busted her wrist up really badly. Apparently the ER doctor told her she'd never do another push

brrrrr. Damn it's cold in Houston. Okay I know, I'm whining (I bet Emily over in Austin is mighty chilly too since we're both equatorial girls by nature)... 38 at night is NOT cold to your average North American but down here it's considered a s

clearly some people have WAY more of this than I do. On the way into my building this morning (I have quite a walk across campus from my garage) I passed a woman wearing candy cane striped reindeer antlers on her head. It's December 10th people..I'm

and blow myself down... Last night and this morning I was *totally* winded in yoga class. How bizarre. I wasn't talking more than usual, the room wasn't hot and the intensity was the same as it always is. I really hope it's not a sign I'm getting sic

Even though my ankle didnt hurt after I twisted the hell out of it yesterday, the ache set in last night. Then again I was fine all day today (even after standing in Restoration Hardware for almost *2* hours while they tried to fi
