Yoga for Athletes last night WAS AWESOME!
It happened that it was all ladies in the house, and it ended up being a really fun, empowering class - mainly because we were all laughing and then I learned how to get into crow pose and held it!
It was a heavy core class, so I expected to be sore this morning. Not as bad as I thought it would be, but I am sure I’ll be hurting tomorrow in the...

When I have a real job...
I will have all the lululemon things!
Reading Luluaddict and Lulumum really don’t help. I pretty much hated all their fall-winter things save one long sleeve top that I got just before my chest started going haywire, and now we are into their spring collection and I’m loving it.
7 more months. And extreme savings mode until then because I have to fund a Switzerland trip in between...
White on Rice: A love poem for dishes →
yellowonesdontstop:
Our dishwasher is broken so I was doing the dishes tonight when it occurred to me exactly how much I love our plates, with their rudimentary, yet still somehow elegant pattern—just a thin blue line around the porcelain white circumference—and a Crate and Barrel logo stamped on their backs.
We…
My Mum’s dishes are white with a simple black line around the edge....

My answer to the childhood question, “If you were stranded on an island, name three things…” had always been: Unlimited supply of chocolate ice cream, a giant freezer and a spoon. I still had my manners. But if you asked me now, I would ditch the spoon and be torn between almond toffee and hand-rolled cones with chocolate-filled tips. Unlimited supply of each, of course.

Unlimited Yoga!
For the next two months!
Although some of the classes I would like to go to conflict with my schedule, the plan is to go to most of the classes that I think will work. That means Monday night Yin class (ah yes my fave), Tuesday morning Rise and Shine class, Thursday night Yoga for Athletes, and Friday morning Rise and Shine class (this one might be tight for time). I would love to try to try to...

Cleaned up after dinner

Bread into the breadmaker for fresh toast in the morning
Like seriously, no wonder people think I’m crazy. The deli manager in the...

Ffcking old people. Phil was asked by the head of his bike club, about 70 years of age, if he could pick him up from his flight tonight in Victoria, about an hour and a half away. Yes no problem. Phil got there on time, flight was on time, waited around looking for Peter for 45 minutes. Called his wife. Apparently he missed his flight this morning. Apparently she emailed. EMAILED. WTF lady. For...
Worst day yet of sickness. Ugh. Thankfully I can get away with going home early today.

Karli Marie ♥: My February Challenges! →
mycollectionofskins:
For this month, I only selected 7 out of the 14 I received (exactly half!). Don’t feel bad because I didn’t choose yours, because to be honest, I really liked them all! However, I could only select a handful (the others will roll over to other months!).
Alright! So during the month of February,…
Karli (B) picked one of my challenges. I am going to do this with her....

Either I just pushed through the worst bout of tiredness I’ve had in a long time (aka extra long flight delusional behaviour feeling that doesn’t even happen during exams) and finished my econometrics homework in incredible speed, or the marakesh mint I’m drinking is a miracle worker. The green tea in the blend is sometimes called gunpowder, so I’m betting on the latter =)...

Winter Goals: An interim review
A review of my winter goals, 3 weeks in.
Go to yoga. Yep no issues here. It is the highlight of my Mondays.
Go to the gym twice a week. OMG impossible. Really failing at this because of my dedication to school and that having two jobs thing. Mondays I read until yoga, Tuesdays I could go in the morning (but the tradeoff is more reading for school), Wednesdays I have a 2 hour break until work,...

Thoughts from yesterday
Yesterday I shorted my gym time to only time on the elliptical and a short round of stretching because during the block before when I had a list of things to study, my mum called and I still wanted to get all the things done (whoa hello run on ramble). Then I couldn’t stay longer at the gym because Phil was picking me up right after work (it is seriously cold here… like -3… hello...

Tumblr ate my last post pretty sure. Speaking of eating, why does my place of work, a running store, have so much candy in it??!!
I have a problem with Ritz crackers: the box is almost empty.

Dear body: I am so sorry I haven’t been to the gym in a long long time. Sorry I almost cheated us of not even going today!
Dear gym: Thank you for being awesome today, it was nice to see you again.
Dear lululemon: Thanks for making my butt look great.

Got 10 minutes? This was really neat.
It is too early in the semester to have a breakdown.
Contributing poor mood factors:
My IT bandS have been tweaky since last night after yoga. (Read on for more whining.) Both of them. wtf.
I found out I need an extra course beyond graduation requirements to be accepted to the Chartered Accountant program in September. I am not enrolled, the class is already really full, and to take it online...
