Things I'm learning: Yoga is harder than anything! Harder than full out sprinting or a jump workout. Pretending to be a Yoga teacher...fun, laugh at myself talking 'like that', struggling to sound soft and calm when I want to grunt and groan, rolling my eyeballs back in my head as I listen to my nonsense (hope no one that has gone to my class is reading this...if so, I'm just kidding). Not eating sugar for three days makes me cranky...oh ya, nothing can 'make me' cranky...except not eating sugar. Next day of crazy sugar eating causes diarrhea and severe abdominal pain...not good just before teaching a Kickboxing class. Trying to lose a few pounds....obsessively thinking about what/when/where and why and when (again) I can eat. Loving shallow things is annoying...but I can't seem to help it. (I'm really deep...really I am!) Politics politics politics! Horses like raspberries...horses like to eat raspberries as I pick them. Fertilizer can make the lawn greener....but also can burn it up {errr...ummm..it wasn't me} 30 year high school reunion....makes me want to lose 5 lbs....thinking about it all the time makes me want to eat chocolate and makes my body want to gain 5 lbs. Nick is so missed...cats can mourn and howl at empty bedroom door, I'd like to join in the howling. Texting makes it harder to adjust to not texting...not communicating immediately with the Nicko. Life keeps changing. Where am I? Who am I? Where is my cheese? (strike that...where is my chocolate?) Grandbaby girl on the way....due on my birthday makes me happy. Can't wait for her to crawl and get into things and go on adventures with me...can't wait for Christmas with toys again, going to parades and lots of places. Kids moving to Washington state...is so sweet. Kids living at my house...with broken dishwasher creates much dishwashing (by hand! I guess people used to do it this way a long time ago). Kids at home have lots of junk...everywhere. Foster(sort of) boy, Tyler has smelly laundry and room. Tyler is fun to blame for everything...like dead lawn from grass bags left on lawn for several days while we gone and roofing nail in the dryer...breaking it etc etc etc. I just say "Tyler did it" now. Did I say that Nick being gone is hard? but good....but still hard....but good... Steve has many caves...where the heck is he all the time? {I need a cave} Hot summer storms are so amazing in Walla Walla....red and pink sky, rainbows, thunder and lightening, torrents of rain...hot and steamy and so wonderful! (the smell of rain on hot pavement...amazing!) I would like one every night! Coconut fragrance is my favorite...coconut oil, coconut scrub, coconut lotion, coconut perfume...I'm crazy for coconut! Dinner is easier to make with crowd here. A full house is great. Nate and Kamie here in between move to Spokane. Tyler still here....will he ever go to college? (just kidding...enjoying him here). Kirsten (Nick and Tyler's friend...and mine) going with me to teach all my classes...so fun. Yoga, Kickboxing, Step, Pilates/TaiChi, Boot Camp, my senior dance class, yet to go to Zumba (together) and she has yet to come to my intense early morning workouts...not a morning girl.
