Anybody Like Yoga?

Anybody like yoga? I've been going to some yoga classes at this studio nearby for the last couple of months and it totally kicks my trash! No, seriously--it's hard. There's not a chance I can get anywhere near doing that pose in the picture, but I think it looks super cool.

I swear, my body isn't built for yoga, but it's pretty dang awesome.  If you want to give it a whirl, CorePowerYoga in AV gives you a free week to try it out. They mostly offer heated classes, and I've become a fan.

It's Genetic

My sister and I both have this thing where we run into things. A lot. Apparently our body-eye coordination? Not so good which is weird since we're both pretty athletic. But I run into corners with my shoulders all the time (Mom says it's the broad shoulders--what?!). The other day I REALLY missed while getting into the shower and hit the sliding doors so hard that Mom figured I'd seriously hurt myself because the thud was so very loud. Nope, just didn't quite judge the right distance between my ever-so-broad shoulders (seriously?) and the sliding doors.

Which brings me to the point of the post. I've got this big bruise on my calf--maybe three inches by two inches--and I have NO idea how I got it.

Does this happen to anyone else? Random, painful bruises? Or maybe randomly running into things? You know, ALL THE TIME? Anyone? Anyone?

Human Jukebox

I'm a guitar player. A skills-are-much-regressed-in-the-last-five-years guitar player, but a guitar player nonetheless. One of the things I get a kick out of is seeing how people respond to you when you're jamming away at a bonfire with a bunch of friends. There are usually two types of folks who will engage in conversation with you: the kind who will list 20 of their favorite songs and ask you to play them all (and then ask if you have lyrics to all of them--no joke), and the kind who ask what your favorite songs are, and if you'd play them.

While I don't mind engaging in a little bit of human jukebox, it's incredibly refreshing when the 1% of folks who fall into the latter category pop up.

Perfect Thursday Night

What could be better than cooking dinner with a friend--roasted chicken chipotle tacos--and then watching the pilot of Castle, the series finale of Will & Grace, and then the season finale of Grey's with said friend?

Absolutely nothing.

Especially since that was the most intense two hours of TV I've ever seen, and I couldn't have watched it alone. SO GOOD. Thank you, m'dear!
