Wandering Mind

Ok, Seriously, come on… It’s March! Could we please drop the winter wonderland theme. I’m ready for some heat! Work is nuts but good. The one benefit of the snow was the canceling of some pain in the ass event that was coming in… The Illusion still opens tonight. I think it’s a pretty good production. It all came together really well last night for the final-invited-dress-Gala-thing. (however, if you check that link… oh, man, those are some super-cheese photos… Our publicity could use a boost…)

No rest though, we go right into the next one. I have a list of frustrations that I could easily let loose about this next one but it’s really only going to make it worse so I’m trying to disassociate my negative feelings from the whole process and enjoy what good parts there are to enjoy (and there are quite a few).

The Blonde Lady and I are still engaged. I haven’t said or done anything too stupid so as to make her change her mind. It’s actually coming together pretty well. We’re using The Knot (which, believe it or not, is really quite helpful), we think we found our location for the ceremony. The invite list is way to long so we’re looking at trimming that back… Of course we started registering for gifts, lots of plates and bowls, towels, etc. Thankfully REI has a gift registry, too. :-) We may have found someone to make the cake, and possibly our Musician (once we audition her…). So… So far, so good. Honestly, though, the best part of this is as we talk more and plan more I’m getting more excited and any fears are going away. Oh, and some of my students got a congratulatory cake for us. I really do have great students.

The yoga is, well, not the strongest part of my life right now. I’ve been so busy at work I’ve been too tired to practice much this week and over the weekend. I’m glad Monday was a moon day. Saved a little self abuse. Last year at this time as I was getting prepared for Pattabhi’s visit to NYC I was practicing my ass off. Now I’m just trying not to get too fat or too stiff so as not to embarrass myself for the upcoming tour visit. The yoga teaching is actually going really well. I’m getting lots of students returning and a couple of new ones each week. If I ever get them all to come to the same class there will be around 25 people… I think that massage I got over the engagement weekend really opened my lower back. I’m still seeing benefits although I have tightened back up a little. It really makes me want to get a massage once a month.

Helen the Cat is happy I’m finally home from work for an evening so I think she would prefer I get off the computer and spend a little couch time with her and the boy cat. Can’t argue with a face like that.
