Three guesses…
Thursday, January 28th, 2010
Special appreciation to Jen Consalvo for inspiration and “permission to play”. Sometimes it takes a professional to tell you something you already know before you’ll believe it yourself. I am, indeed, thankful.

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 [...] -
Have you kissed your IT Department lately?
Monday, January 25th, 2010
No matter where you work, live or love, the job of the ITG (IT Guy or Gal) is usually a pretty thankless job.
When you’re a small, start-up “homepreneur”, intentionally or not, if you’re lucky enough not to be wearing that hat yourself, the ITG is probably your husband, wife, partner or roommate. If that’s the [...] -
Almost eleven foods that I AM eating
Friday, January 22nd, 2010
One of the top viewed stories of 2009 from the NYT was this post. Apparently it took most folks 6-18 months to figure out what’s good for them since it was originally posted in June of 2008, but I’m proud to say I’ve been partaking of 9 of the 11 for many years.
So, there. Tara [...] -
It’s like methadone
Sunday, January 17th, 2010
It’s 11:42. I haven’t posted today. I’m out dancing with friends, so I have to come up with an idea and write about it, using only the tools at hand in under 16 minutes.
Hmmmm…
My oldest and unhealthiest habit is a pseudo additction to Coke…-a-cola
I don’t drink it every day, but there are [...] -
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 [...] -
Hip, Hoop, Hurray!
Sunday, January 10th, 2010
I just got back from my first Hoop Dance Class!
So much fun, even I might stick with it. I’ve wanted to learn for several years. It’s been my “intention” to do so, but 2010 is the year!
I listen to a lot of electronica music and started seeing hoop dance performers at shows. Since that first [...] -
Lions, but no Tigers, and certainly no Bears
Friday, January 8th, 2010
I always laugh when I’m in a yoga class and the yoga instructor decides to do Simhasana, or Lion Pose. (As I get older, my eyes are getting bad, so when I read “simhasana” I see “simba-sana,” and I think of the Lion King.)
I guess I also laugh when I’m by myself. You can too. [...]

Chairman Wow
Saturday, January 2nd, 2010
Okay, this was not the idea that was inspired by yestereday’s TV-Yoga, but I just have to say I love The Chairman.
I wish I were that apple.
I’m a nut for just about any kind of martial art, and I’ve had a crush for a while, but I guess I’ve missed the episodes where [...]
