Winding down

Tomorrow's going to be a long day, so I have no idea while I'm still up. I am in bed, but with my computer on my belly I am still working and my brain is still moving rather quickly. We are starting the SF happenings with Jess' company and a grant is due with Anne's company, plus I have some catering pick ups tomorrow and teach a yoga class.

Needless to say, mama needs some balance. My house is a mess and I don't have any time to socialize. In fact, I am teaching a class on balance tomorrow. It's not my strong suit, so it will be a nice challenge.

In the meantime, how 'bout a little gratitude and then SLEEP!

I am thankful for:
1. a nice car
2. catering left overs
3. kind people
4. a warm coat and hat
5. the hot water bottle that Christine gave me 2 years ago

Blogthings denial

So I thought it would be fun to both end and begin the year with a Blogthings post. But I have been sitting here for a good 10 minutes taking this ridiculous test and closing out of each of them because they are not accurate. Well, mostly I am categorized as a loud lush who is super sexy. All of those things that currently feel further from the truth. So, I just exited from the website saying, "well, that's stupid" and moved on.

But honestly I have not really expressed my inner party girl in quite a long time. A year of yoga and reflection, of finding my next steps, building community and saving money don't really lend to taking off my bra and dancing on the bar. Well, not like I've ever done those - well, together at one time...

So as we enter 2011 it may be time for me to actually leave the house. To be more bold and adventurous. Heck, I jumped out of a plane and planned a skinny dipping party after a wedding. I'm wild and spontaneous, right?

I think this year I will answer that question with a resounding, YES!

At least the thought makes me smile.

Gratitudes:
1. Overdue conversations with old friends
2. Steady work
3. The ability to be in the moment
4. My proximity to water
5. A comfortable couch
