by Leave a Comment

trying to break the monotony of a friday afternoon with mindless question and half-mindless answers.


What is your favorite fizzy, bubbly drink? Cherry Coke Zero! I’m so glad I was introduced to it.
What is your favorite deep-fried food? Chimichangas! The one thing I will splurge on a couple times a year!
What is your favorite hot beverage? Tea. I don’t like my coffee hot. I only drink Iced Coffee…. and I HATE iced tea. Yuck!
What is your favorite really messy food? I am a messy person, so usually whatever I eat, it’s a mess.
What is your favorite recipe for a blended or mixed beverage? I love White Russians! YUM!

1. finish this gosh darn training! grr! i’m tired of talking about telecom crap!

2. go to the bank. gotta finally do this. (so there’s really no reason that i’m avoiding this other than i’m lazy)

3. check out a new yoga class at the Yoga Lounge in Hudson. pretty excited to check out a new teacher.

4. very excited about my yoga masters class with Kinndli McCullom on saturday. should be different and challenging!

5. debating whether or not to go to the krishna das performance on monday.

6. having trouble concentrating on things of value (ie. life, money, ME). not sure why. i’m just really dazed. i blame it on stress.

7. did i mention i’m really looking forward to the yoga practices i have planned? seriously. very excited.

8. wanting to organize. big time. when i’m stressed or under pressure or need to relax, i have an urge to organize everything. if i had to self-analyze, i’d say that this probably comes from an urge to control the things that i can have some control over… or, in other words, i have an urge to control everything, but since i can’t control certain things in my life, i will control everything else.

9. i have an itch to get outside and enjoy this beautiful weather.

a mess of words.

“Even in the presence of extraordinary pain, we were taking right action, we were attending to our practice, each in his own way.” -Meditations from the Mat.


There’s a lot on my mind, so I’m going to do my best to get it out. I’m guessing it will just come out as a mess of words…

So many things to do:
-Send my taxes out… (oops… way to procrastinate.)
-Go to the bank (something that is VERY simple, but also something I have been avoiding all week).
-Check out the Yoga Lounge in Hudson.
-Read, read, read. A passage everyday from Meditations from the Mat & the book Naked by David Sedaris. He is so witty. Both are something I need right now. A little inspiration. A little humor.
-Tickets to Ani Difranco? Not sure. April 24th at the House Of Blues in Cleveland… Anyone want to go?
-Register for a cooking class. Hopefully a couples cooking class… the least I could do is learn to cook something. No one could survive on cookies. Or could they…. 🙂
-Continue to run outside as the weather gets nicer. I hate treadmills and they hate me. I do, however, enjoy running outdoors. I’m running a race on Memorial Day with my friend Wyatt. Also running a leg in the Akron Road Runner Marathon this summer.
-Desperate to go to the Indians versus Red Sox game later this month (Go Red Sox!)

See? Nothing here but a bunch of unclear thoughts.

we are beaten and blown by the wind
blown by the wind
oh when i go there
i go there with you
it’s all i can do.

It’s only Tuesday

I woke up this morning and thought that it was Saturday… I was so confused. And then I realized it’s only Tuesday. What a BUMMER. Seriously. Work is crazy this week. I’ve been training the tech support guys for 7 straight days… via webinar. For those unfamiliar with webinar, all you need to know is that it sucks. Majorly. Nothing like being able to not at all see the responses and faces of those you are trying to train. So it’s as if I have been talking to myself for the last 7 working days, 8-hours a day. Which can get a bit boring.

I hope I wake up tomorrow and it really is Saturday.
