• 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 [...]

• Put my corpse in a heart shaped box

  Sunday, January 24th, 2010

  “I’m dead.”
  That’s what we who are prone to exaggerate say when we’re really tired.
  That’s what we who ignored our fairy-godmother’s warnings about dancing after midnight, not once, but twice on a weekend, say on Sundays.
  I’m dead.
  Something that I’ve always found to be a little ironic about yoga is that one of the best ways to [...]

• 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 never rains, but it pours

  Thursday, January 21st, 2010

  Planned posting postponed.
  Despite disappointment, alliteration animates.
  My little drama-queen in residence sprayed herself in the eye with Listerine breath-spray.
  Perhaps understandable for a 10 year old.
  I wonder how one explains the other  31,299.

  And yes, it’s funny because, once again, all’s well that ends well.
  Don’t tell her I said that.

• The names have been changed to protect the innocent

  Wednesday, January 20th, 2010

  I didn’t have to work on Monday because of the MLK holiday, or for any other reason at the moment.
  So while dancing into the wee hours of my funemployed Monday morning, I may have encouraged one or more friends to consider “slick-leave” in lieu of work. To the detriment of Greater Washington’s January productivity numbers, [...]

• 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 [...]

• Completely, Totally, Ridiculously Vicious Yoga

  Tuesday, January 12th, 2010

  I almost have no words.
  Except maybe “ouch” or “help” or “excuse me, you’re standing on my face.”

  And what is this guy looking for? I wouldn’t have guessed one could win anything by purposely sticking your head up your own ass.

• DownLoad-asana: Yoga Relax for iPhone

  Saturday, January 9th, 2010

  I’m writing my first post from my iPhone, so it seems appropriate to post something about this iPhone app that I just downloaded
  .
  The feature list sounds very cool. I was particularly excited about being able to set up your own session from 1-36 minutes, and especially enjoying thinking about 1-5 minute sessions because, um, I’m lazy [...]

• 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. [...]

• And now for something completely different

  Wednesday, January 6th, 2010

  On my other blog I wrote about Dan Pink’s new book, Drive: The Surprising Truth About What Motivates Us.
  I haven’t had time to read it yet, but I remembered I first heard about Laughter Yoga when I read his book A Whole New Mind
