weekend preview..

Friday, 27 February 2004 11:03 A GMT-08
well firstly... let me say I'm really bummed that we can't do a Saturday "threepeat" of our Berry Hill happy hour. Jen is kinda the kingpin on the planning of that and she won't be back from skiing in time. Oh how I will miss mixing some of

Coffee for one...

Thursday, 26 February 2004 8:08 A GMT-08
So I decided to do a good deed and swing by Starbucks this morning at the medical center food court on my walk from the parking garage to my building. I've got 2 other guys in my lab and figured I'd surprise them. I ordered one his usu

I just wanna smack something!

Wednesday, 25 February 2004 11:07 A GMT-08
I loaned my Turbokick Round18 to a friend that lives up in North Houston a few weeks ago. We met for lunch and she told me about the buzz about TK going "retail" soon with an informerical like Tae Bo for home workouts. (which is true TK is curre

I've got Burbank on my mind...

Tuesday, 24 February 2004 10:00 A GMT-08
I'm getting that restless feeling. I want to go visit my cousin and family out in So. Cal this spring. (Yogagirl waves to her Uncle Dave!)  I checked this morning and Southwest has ~$200 roundtrip fares in April and May..I'll have to twist

good gawd...

Monday, 23 February 2004 10:24 A GMT-08
I woke up this morning looking like someone had beat me about the face with a broken pop bottle. My eyes were almost completely swollen shut. All I did was pluck my eyebrows before going to bed, and that is what Yogagirl (sometimes, it's always

Happy Hour

Sunday, 22 February 2004 1:59 P GMT-08
well thanks to a liquored up Mr. Yogagirl, he invited a whole slew of people from yesterday's happy hour at BERRY HILL to a "Sex and the City Finale" party tonight. Never mind I have to leave right in the middle of it to go teach yoga class...it will

Honey????

Do these yoga pants make my butt look big??? good lord. For $65 I think my ass looks big enough all by itself without the huge Marimbondo ad paraded on the back of it. (snort)

Yankee or Dixie?

Friday, 20 February 2004 11:20 A GMT-08
I'm all about tests these last couple of days. What's up with that? Anyway I took it and I'm 50% yankee. Makes sense. Grew up in Oregon but I've been in Houston for the last 10 years. My friend Jen sent me the link originally. She turned out 84% dixi

a stumbling block...

Friday, 20 February 2004 11:10 A GMT-08
I had a very challenging yoga class to teach last night. 2 new ladies showed up and let's just say the very FIRST thing I had them do is sign their waiver. Yikes. One was at least 100+ lbs overweight and the other although not as heavy was clearly no

food issues....

Thursday, 19 February 2004 10:27 A GMT-08
Mr. Yogagirl messed up and purchased a bag of "chicken breasts with rib meat". In plain english this means NOT boneless, NOT skinless. UGH. You can't put those huge ass weird shaped chicken boobies on the George Foreman and expect them to cook evenly

shocking but true...

Wednesday, 18 February 2004 12:48 P GMT-08
the cover photo of the Rainbeau Mars "Pure Power Vinyasa Flow" video got my creative juices flowing. I attempted "side crow" or "Parsva Bakasana" before class last night. Started with the right side .... and I was amazed that I could DO IT. Whooop!!!

Oops I missed a day...

Wednesday, 18 February 2004 10:01 A GMT-08
I guess I just didn't have anything exciting to report Tuesday. Not that I have anything exciting to report today either but here goes: 1. It was extremely painful watching American Idol last night. OMG I felt bad for those poor out-of-key singing l

I could get used to this..

Monday, 16 February 2004 4:33 P GMT-08
Not working that is. Wow it's nice to be unhinged every once in a while. Yoga class this morning was miniscule...3 people showed up. Mostly because school is out for President's Day and most of my morning class consists of moms with school aged child

Note to self..

Sunday, 15 February 2004 8:37 A GMT-08
don't "preview" yoga videos with mr. yogagirl around. HAHA.  Yesterday afternoon, I popped in the Rainbeau Mars "Pure Power" tape I got last weekend. Matthew climbs in bed with me (the only comfortable place to watch a VHS now since all the othe

This is something that can happen..

Friday, 13 February 2004 3:48 P GMT-08
well now CBS has gone and done it. Survivor has made me CRY. I mean absolutely positively baul people! (and I don't mean because Richard got bit by a shark either) Jenna left the show just in time to spend the last 8 days with her mother before she d

Just what the doctor ordered...

I asked for tomorrow off and the boss said "sure". I've got Monday already as a state holiday ...so I figured what the hell. What PRESSING project do have at this moment in the lab anyway? I spend most of my days here lately setting ti

New yoga video..

Wednesday, 11 February 2004 11:59 A GMT-08
I picked up a new yoga video at a luncheon this last weekend through trade. ( to make a long story short, it was a get together of Houston Videofitness  enthusiasts..a web board I've been chatting on for years but now just kinda lurk t

How much do I have to eat to feel better?

Bill Phillips would probably kick my ass. I've not crossed the abyss, I'm currently laying face down in my own personal one. Okay so if you haven't noticed I've been doing the pretty hard pity party thing for the last 2 weeks and frankly it's ti

Do over....

Monday, 9 February 2004 9:07 A GMT-08
I had a yucky weekend. I'd like to either do it over completely or forget it even happened. For a wrap up: 1. Friday night was Matthew's birthday. I consumed entirely too much pizza and beer. (he changed his mind about Fogo de Chao at the last

Today is just not a good day..

Friday, 6 February 2004 12:33 P GMT-08
not much to blog about except for venting about what's buggin' me today..and so far that seems to be just about EVERYTHING. 1. I'm ready to give up looking for another dog and I just started. There is just some scary stuff going on out there. I *th

Tag team

Thursday, 5 February 2004 11:46 A GMT-08
Last night was Jen's first night to teach a *whole* Turbokick round by herself. Now if you recall, I've been mentoring her for a few months and she's gotten her feet wet doing the warmups at 24 hour fitness and co-teaching each week with me at o

It's raining men...

Wednesday, 4 February 2004 9:25 A GMT-08
it's been the week for new men to pop into my yoga classes for some reason. I've had a new guy in every class this week. (and it's only Wednesday). Monday morning a strapping young sports medicine doctor strolled into class, last night a new neurosci

okay so right as I was finishing up this amazingly stupid (and botched mind you) histology project here at work (of which I explained to my boss would NOT work with the current technology our lab possesses, I mean what he wants to do requires a team

today is already a blah day and I'm so freakin' cranky. Okay I'm going to go on record here to say I NEVER want to sub another "body shaping" class in my life. WTF? It's almost like teaching Czechoslovokian to a bunch of Mongolian immi
