I gave myself an inch…I took a mile…
Wednesday, March 31st, 2010
Okay, okay, I took two.
Nearly Two Months.
It’s crazy how time can slip by. February is always a crazed month for us, but once I let myself off the hook for the daily blogging habit, it was tough to find a new lower intensity groove.
That’s not to say it hasn’t been time well spent, and that [...] -
Does this look infected to you?
Wednesday, January 27th, 2010
While looking for a 5 minute song to hoop-and-heat by today (It’s freezing again here in DC!), I scrolled past a number of faves from a group I was introduced to last summer.
One of my favorite moments from Burning Man 2009 was arriving at the Opulent Temple to the spectacular madness of Infected Mushroom. (Warning [...] -
Put it in your pantry with your cupcakes
Tuesday, January 26th, 2010
I’ve been working on squeezing extra bits of physical activity into my days to combat my disease. If you’re trying to do the same, here’s an idea:
It takes about 5 minutes to boil water for a cup of tea at my house these days in the depths of winter when the water comes from the tap [...] -
BMWs are good for your health and the environment
Saturday, January 23rd, 2010
With four kids, I’ve spent (and continue to spend) a fair amount of time over the last twenty years schlepping kids around DC and to near and not-so-near suburbs. Today was no exception with a theatre play practice and a birthday party starting at the same time.
Despite a fairly large sample to judge by – [...] -
It’s 2 am, do you know where your mother is?
Monday, January 18th, 2010
Maybe she’s dancing her ass off at Jimmy Valentine’s Lonely Hearts Club.
“Spinning” class takes on a whole new meaning with Stranger than Paradise. It was a pleasure to watch this duo interact on the decks.
I’m not a big fan of myspace sites. They’re so ugly and badly designed, but DJs seem to like them.
DJs Navbox and Rosario [...] -
wHOOP, there it is!

My new fabulously, viciously delicious O-range sparkle spinnner.
As we say in my family – it makes me happy. -
Want to burn more calories? Be silly. Seriously.

“Last year the government spent less on the Ministry of Silly Walks than it did on national defense.”
Typically, I don’t believe my posts will be of a political nature, but this one’s been on my mind for a while. For me, one of the most discouraging and disappointing aspects of the current debate on healthcare [...] -
Difficulty planning your day?
Thursday, January 14th, 2010
I can’t say that I’ve had trouble planning my day. The difficulty today has been to stop planning and start doing.
It’s interesting when you’re writing a pseudo-yoga and fitness blog. There is always that debate: “Maybe I should practice, workout, or walk first before I start writing, OR write, then pose.”
But once my fingers hit [...] -
Let the big booty girls put their hands in the air!
Wednesday, January 13th, 2010
About 10 years ago, my husband and I went to a hip-hop night at a huge dance club at the Luxor in Vegas. I’m not sure if it was one of these clubs, or if it’s since been replaced by one of these. At some point during the evening the DJ/MC called out:
“Let the big [...] -
The Trouble with Tired People
Monday, January 11th, 2010
So I had another high-energy, high-activity day. Yay!
And while I was on my BIG walk home earlier today, I was debating about whether or not I actually wanted to keep the trend going by trying a few inexpensive Exotic Dance classes, or Exoterobics thanks to today’s Living Social Deal of the Day.
My health, wellness [...]
