Ok, I'm totally drooling over Yoga Princess's blog skin. It pretty much wipes it's ass with my standard blog-city template. And she has her own URL. Damn she's got it goin' on. Too bad yogagirl.com has already been snagged. So has Yogagoddess.com. He

my office bookcase has been driving me insane. I saw a great idea in pottery barn and redid all of my photo albums in 3 ring binders that have the clear sleeves so I can put a picture on the binding. Voila!  and in case anybody thinks it's totally B

I don't know what got into me yesterday but I agreed to accompany Mr. Yogagirl back to our hometown in Oregon over the weekend of August 13th-16th to visit his brother/wife and their new (preemie) baby.  And before I could waffle on that decision

for a 2nd summer in a row I'm having hair nightmares. It seemed to start in 2002 when I got my hair highlighted. Then when the roots grew out, the girl lightened them up to match the lightest colors on my head. The 2003 summer of pool and sun damage
