Fernando’s |
I took the girls out for supper last night to a new Mexican Restaurant called Fernando’s. Of course we had to try it out since I love Mexican food and our darling dog is named Fernando. Peter was in Vancouver at meetings.
Tabs is home with a sore throat–too much choir! The girl has belonged to 3 separate choirs this past two months! She sings for an hour + daily. However, I believe it is actually a cold type virus. Pip has had it this past week too.
Tonight, Peter is finally home from Van. Date night! I am wanting to see a movie down town. Hope it stops snowing so we can. Sometimes, the snow plows stop working after 4PM so if it snows a lot after that, one cannot make it up the mountain until they plow the next morning.
Excited as I dropped my quest to find Buddhist sanga in Kelowna (community). The pressure to meditate with a group shut me down. I prefer to meditate alone, just before bed and get my sanga from a yearly visit to a ashram. I honestly don;t have 2 hours each week to meditate at the yoga house in the evening. I am too busy. And honestly, my personality is one that likes action. I am doing hot yoga and Zumba in the evenings instead. Zumba instead of latin dance because #1 I can’t find a willing male dance partner: if you are out there please give me a call! #2 Zumba is at Tabs school gym at night–a five minute drive–convieniencce means a lot to me in the evening! Bikram’s is too expensive. They don’t give student discounts and they don’t do punch cards. However hot yoga is offering $12 a time student classes this year–so I am taking them up on it Monday evenings. Yes, the floor is heated along with the room to over 100 degress F. I feel like a piece of bacon sizzling around during corpse pose–but beggars can’t be choosers!
My paper was accepted for an international conference–YAY! It means though, writing like a crazed woman for 2 weeks to make the final copy deadline. I love my thesis though. Good stuff. I am so happy with my research. It is very exciting. I may not be able to leave academia behind after my MA is done–I love feeling connected to something much bigger than me and my research–this whole communication revolution is a fun ride!

I hope you don’t smell like bacon after the corps pose – all in all a delightful image! And remember all the interesting people are at home(me) or engaged in stinky yoga or shooting movies or salsa dancing, choir, guitar lessons – just to name a few of the activities of the interesting people that I know.

What is stinky yoga? I am actually afraid of the answer…
Unless of course, you mean hot yoga aka sizzling-corpse yoga. I love that! Hence force all hot yoga shall be known as Sizzling -Corpse yoga.
