Doh!

Why is it that when I'm faced with a crap load of life, I choose to blog instead? I've got homework up the yin-yan, more housework than I can handle right now, and a family to take care of. What do I do instead...sit down and try to think of something to blog.

See -- I've been in a funk. Hold on to your seats folks, 'cause I'm about to rock your world. I have nothing to complain about lately.

I know...shocked the hell out of me as well...but seriously -- nothing is happening! My shred and yoga workouts have been fun (I forgot to mention that I lost yet another inch of my thighs!), my kids have been (relatively) well behaved, and there haven't even been any daycarisms. What the heck is a complainer to do??

There are some serious big things happening this week -- which are causing my fingertips to nearly itch off in a little blogging frenzy -- yet I can't. I'm bound by contract to keep my lips (and my fingers) under tight control. Damn you lawyers!! (can you see me shaking my fist at them in fury??!?!)

Maybe tonight I'll be inspired. 2 of my 4 daycare children are being taken care solely of by the leading men in their lives. They're both good men though -- so not sure if I'll be able to find humour.

I need to sit and watch some crappy tv or something with the kids...Hannah Montana or something equally as horrid. Advice? Thoughts? Anything to trigger another blog rant (don't call me though!!)

Come to St.Albert - where the Rich folks are!

Yup – that was my immediate though as soon as the news began publicizing the protests about the building of a Habitat for Humanity project.

"St.Albert – where we’re better than you because we have money – because everyone knows that when you have money, you don’t have problems like drugs or crime or abuse. The police never need to come to a rich person’s neighbourhood and the IQs of their children are proportionate to their income." That's not a quote -- just the vibe them Rich Folks are sending us lowly scum of the population.

This is just sick to me. I used to live in St.Albert and found it quite nice -- in fact, if I could pack up and move, I'd like to move there again. I want to make it clear that not ALL people of St.Albert are racist bigots...just the select few, I'd say it's limited to the fools who write to the St.Albert Gazette and the idiots who stormed the city council to protest the development.

What do you think?

Yoga Challenge

So -- Level 3 of the shred is a joy (seriously people). Still can't make it through all of the exercises - but that 20 minutes is gone before I even know it and I enjoy every second of it. However, this weekend, I chose to do the Yoga Meltdown.

My husband doesn't like when I write online about him...not even in a status update, so let's just say that I talked to "someone" and teased him to death until he decided to do the yoga with me. I pop in the video and we start doing the warm up which just consists of standing there and waving your arms up and down.

I should put a note here - I'm competitive. Nope, more than that, I'm the type of person who will work as hard as I can to do better than you then I'll do a little "hoo rah" dance in my head when I do extremely competitive.

We start getting into more moves. I know that "someone" isn't all that flexible - but I thought "anyone can do yoga" yet, someone proved me wrong. He's tipping over and falling and for most of the moves just laid there (or stood, depending on the position) while we both pretended that he was still doing it.

Can I just say how much I loved this? He's struggling and stumbling, and I'm flowing from one pose to another and, in a total un-yoga like manner, I was secretly laughing and pointing at him and saying "na na na na boo boo, I do Yoga better than you!"

Yes, I'm pathetically immature that competitive.

Later, becuase I can't possibly let him get away with the yoga failure and feel the insane urge to brag wanted to make some conversation with my dad and his family, I start talking about our Morning Yoga Session together.

His response "my body's not built right for it."

Last night, he challenged me to a Shred Off...but he's only willing to do level 1. I think I may just take him up on it.
