chicken

The following is a list of completely random tidbits.
-I should be reading about salt, but this darn computer is sucking me in again.
-I totally chickened out of the haircut. The night before the appointment, I thumbed through a whole bunch of those cheesy hair magazines… and I just wasn’t excited about it. Really what it boils down to is that my hair is currently longer than it’s been in 12 years and I’m afraid that if I cut it, I’ll never grow it out again. For some odd reason, this feels like my final opportunity to have long hair. My last long-hair hurrah. Strange attachment.
-I did ask my stylist to cut off the dead stuff, which meant about an inch or so. She put in some layers also, so that I hate the cut unless I straighten it. I’ve never been one to “do” my hair every day, but I guess I’ll have to start… for now, anyways. Otherwise, my hair dries naturally in just this special way that screams out “POLITICIAN” or “BAKE SALE COORDINATOR.” Unsettling, quite. Here’s the new haircut:
-Eh, I’m sure that after 2 solid weeks of 100+ degree temperatures here in Paso summertime I’ll pull that hair back in a ponytail and just chop that tail right off. I’ve done it before…
-All this talk about hair. It’s really just an excuse to not talk about yoga. I didn’t practice at all this week. And I didn’t teach, either. Two of my students are out of town, one is sick, and one was a no-show.
-I’ve been sort of down lately. Tay has been gone for the past couple weeks and I haven’t been sleeping enough. The good news is that I’ve found a ton of new friends here in the new town… it’s easy to find someone to come over for dinner or meet for a glass of wine or a cup of coffee any day of the week. In fact, I’d venture to say that it’s easier up here than it was back in the old town. Not quite sure why, though.
-I’ve started twittering at least once a day. I figure, if I can’t blog, at least I can twitter. It’s my new obsession. But for some reason, I can’t get my twitters to post to my wordpress blog, so if you want to read my “tweets”, you have to follow me on twitter.com. I follow Cody and Kai as well… any other twitter-yogis/friends out there?
-The chin-up project is coming along swimmingly. On a good day, I can do one pull-up. It’s taken me two months, and I can do ONE f-ing pull-up. Oh well. By next year, maybe I’ll be able to do two. IN A ROW.
You look beautiful as always. I need to come visit soon.
Love the hair! I wish I had a chin-up bar…no, really!!! *grin*
I need to finish reading that book. I don’t know why I haven’t — it’s really interesting. It’s amazing that folks used to eat 40 to 70 grams of salt per day (per some estimates). I can’t even handle the 2 grams or so that I’d get in a container of soup from the supermarket deli soup kiosk.
Get the short hair! This haircut is pretty but you should stick with your first inclination.
Hi,
I just jumped over here from Cody’s blog. I used to live in San Luis and I know that there isn’t much going on as far as yoga goes in the county, especially the north county. About a year ago, while visiting my parents, I had a rather unpleasant experience when dropping into a studio in SLO. It was an all levels class, and I was still in the first months of my yoga experience, but the instructor did mostly arm balances and kept saying that we should all be going circus performer and feeling the burn. He pretty much ignored me and the one other person in the room who was less experienced. He just had us do downward dog the whole time. Then, at the end, without any warning, he rubbed a scented oil all over my shirt. It caused my airways to constrict, and if he had told me what he intended to do, I would have warned him not to. That studio has since closed, but I know that the instructor teaches at the other studios as well as gyms in town. Go with your gut and do your own thing. The quality will probably be better, and it will be a service to the north county.
Thanks guys! Carl, don’t worry. Short hair is coming. Maybe the first week of June. The salt book is fascinating.
