Life is funny that way isn't it? After emailing my yoga class list today, letting them know the various locations the petition has been put out for them to sign in support of saving the gym, I got one email reply from a student that goes to Baylor co

'cuz breakin' up is hard to do..

Wednesday, 31 March 2004 9:04 A GMT-08
So last night I had to break the news to my 5:30pm yoga crowd that the gym is closing on May 14th. Many of them had already gotten the email or heard the rumors. Most of them seemed really bummed out and rightfully so. A few of them seemed really des

Well it looks like I'm going to take on the cursed Tuesday night spot for water aerobics at the facility where I coordinate this summer (last year 8 out of 10 Tuesdays were completely rained out)  Neither of the 2 water instructors I have on staff

I'm not feeling very chatty today for some reason. In looking over my calendar this morning I realized March 21st came and went without notice this year. This is the first year I've totally forgotten about the day my mother died. It's been 6 years

If you teach it, they will come?

Monday, 29 March 2004 8:02 A GMT-08
So I spent much of the weekend trying to figure out what to do with my teaching schedule for the summer. With my Tues/Thurs 5:30pm yoga class going away on May 13th, this leaves me with quite the perdicament. On those same days, I teach a 7pm class a

After Turbokick last night, we headed to PANERA to pick up some take out salads. On the way home I jinxed myself and made the mistake of telling my husband how happy I was he had gotten me a TiVo for Christmas....only to come home and realize that

sorry about my lack of communication yesterday..I stayed home from work.  I didn't really plan to do that but when the alarm went off and Mr. Yogagirl was still in bed beside me (he called in sick too) I figured ...what the heck? Why not play hookie

I played with Barbie dolls as a little girl for the sole duty of having them ride my model horses. Otherwise they served no other useful purpose than to be dragged around by the hair, naked with boots on.  Granted everytime I'd try to spread their

It's just one of those weeks. I'm fed up to HERE (yogagirl places her hand about to the level of her eyeballs) with the situation at the facility where I coordinate the fitness program. Bitching, whining, unhelpful diva-esque instructors, telling me

Blog city has me on my last nerve. GRRRR. It's up, it's down, it's up...it's down for days. Let's hope this time it's up for at least 24 hours huh?  So let's see, where are we at?  Oh right. Wednesday. It's gorgeous in Texas this week, much too nic

well I had a semi-eventful weekend. The free Piyo master class I offered on Saturday morning was a HUGE hit. We *packed* the room with 20 people and at least 4 of them bought a 12 class package afterwards. At this facility, this is big time succes

not that this blog will have a lot to do with that title, it's just I LOVE those new michelob light commercials with Owen Wilson. It's already past lunch on a Monday and only ONE of blogger buds has posted today?? C'mon somebody.
