yogagirl has lost her yoga mat..

Thursday, 30 September 2004 4:12 A GMT-08
both metaphorically and truthfully. Yep. It's gone. My whole mat bag and yoga mat inside. The last time I used it was Monday night a week ago, and the next day when I went to pull it out of my car to teach my class..it wasn't there. I've retraced all

sure...why not a shameless puppy photo? It's been awhile...and it keeps my mind off of blogging about what I'm really thinking...like...OH.GOD.WHAT.HAVE.I.DONE with my life.........That kipper ...he keeps me laughing! Here he is last weekend..off ca

it's late sunday..

Sunday, 26 September 2004 8:17 P GMT-08
I keep thinking if I avoid going to bed..I'll avoid the inevitable. The craziness, the stress, the sleepless nights, lack of appetite, and all the crap that I know will come rushing back at me tomorrow. I have to prepare a bio sheet, somehow get a p

Saturday musings..

Saturday, 25 September 2004 9:20 P GMT-08
I'm taking a lazy day. After a week like I've had... I've earned it. It's been insane crazy for me. I'm not sleeping well, my heart rate is up, I see things crawl on the walls and ceiling in my dreams, I shoot up out of bed at 1am in a cold sweat, a

Step Three

Friday, 24 September 2004 11:56 A GMT-08
Is perhaps the hardest step of them all. Letting go. Leaving classes I've taught for over 2 years. Leaving students I've seen grow and change in ways I'd never thought possible. And yet I still must say "goodbye" It isn't feasible to drive

Step Two

Wednesday, 22 September 2004 9:59 P GMT-08
Last Thursday, right before I left work to go home and get ready to spend a fabulous 3 day weekend in New Orleans I got a call from the coordinator at the new gym. She offered me an UNPRECEDENTED opportunity. She presented me with the idea that I wou

this photo says it all..

pretty much sums it all up. this picture was taken about 2 years ago. It took the guys in my lab about 4 weeks to figure out I added question #15.

Step One

I did some REALLY crazy shit today people. Something this grounded Taurean would have never dreamed she'd have the balls to do. I resigned my lab position at the University this morning, one that I've held for almost 11 years. One that has prov

the calm before the storm..

Sunday, 19 September 2004 7:29 P GMT-08
like that feeling that Ivan gave New Orleans late last week..I've got my own storm brewing. It was really great to get away this weekend. Have my husband as a sounding board, my rock, my steadfast supporter and biggest fan to talk to, plan with, and

New Orleans missed the action? No flooding, no wind damage? The streets are barely even wet? Damn. We're SO already  there. Luckily our flight isn't until 1pm tomorrow and luckily Yogagirl didn't panic and cancel her trip yesterday. (even though she

the heart of the matter...

Wednesday, 15 September 2004 2:05 P GMT-08
oooh! I just spent all morning at a training for Lifetime fitness. It was all about their new approach to heart rate training and cardiovascular exercise. My mind is still swirling with all of the really cool stuff I've tried to pack into it in four

nice. they are evacuating New Orleans ahead of Hurricane Ivan's landfall tomorrow or Thursday. Yeah..that's EXACTLY how I wanted to spend my 11th wedding anniversary..swimming around a boarded up, powerless, and destroyed French Quarter that's und

OK first things first. I simply CANNOT type out an entry in Word and import the font size properly. ugh. Yesterday when I wrote my entry, I set it the same as when I use my blog city editor (verdana 10pt) and still it won't match..it's too big when I

Juggle fest..(or what goes up must come down)

Monday, 13 September 2004 9:59 P GMT-08
I feel like I have about 50 balls in the air right now. 2/3 go flying to the floor and I spend my time running and chasing them while still continuing to juggle the 1/3 of them I have left. (I’m diggin’ on fractions today people). I’m currently

3 years ago..

I was not teaching fitness. September 11th rocked me to the core, just as it did millions of my fellow inhabitants on this earth. I went back to my calendar last night to see what I was up to. I did a cardio workout that morning and then sat down in

I had to sit through 2 hours of torture at the "Impact" training meeting for Lifetime Fitness this morning. It was all about the mission statement, their brand stragegy, customer service goals, and it was complete with quirky role playing g

yep. couldn't take the old boring and bland color scheme anymore (sorry Lizardbreath no offense to your lovely blog it's just I wanted something a little more creative and personal around this place)I'm diggin' on the black and white color theme la

I suppose it was inevitable...

Thursday, 9 September 2004 7:47 A GMT-08
I'm really not hunting for sympathy..it's my own fault I've semi-hurt myself. I think I got a little bit too over zealous in my turbokick class on Tuesday night and during an "air jack" (okay it was probably the 4th air jack in a row) I pul

hold on Curacao..looks like Ivan is coming your way. I thought I'd scan a pic this morning of their beautiful harbor (taken winter 2003 when we vacationed there for a week). It's a really lovely island and they are usually too far south for hurricane

Tuesday, 7 September 2004 7:56 A GMT-08
that feels like a monday. The good thing is I'm going back to bed. I have that pesky cold virus mr. yogagirl was dragging around last week. It's pretty wimpy compared to what I had this summer but even still it's making me feel like pretty energy-les

I woke up today with a sore throat and a left nostril full of snot (yeah just the left.  how nice)  luckily I have the next 2 days off from teaching...but come Tuesday I'll have to be in prime form for my turbokick debut (complete with teaching a b

fuzzy math

Saturday, 4 September 2004 5:07 A GMT-08
I did a dumb thing. I invited my whole lab over today for a pool party. We have a 50% chance of rain. 3/4 of the guests have PhD's. 5 children are included. The pool has dropped to 83 degrees. You do the math.

cuz i'm movin' on up...
