this heat is killing me

Wow, the heat is just oppressive. It saps all of the energy for me… this has a good effect, and a bad effect. Bad effect: I’m lazy in the afternoons and evenings. Good effect: I have so much more energy in the mornings! I’ve been out of bed and in the gym by 7am every day for the past week. I’ve been running and lifting weights. I’ve also been hesitant to ride home right after work, in the heat of the day… so I’ve been hanging out in the yoga center and taking more classes… so, more yoga, more exercise, those things are great. Unfortch- I pulled a muscle in my right leg, my calf muscle. I don’t want to walk around on it… I’ll take a soak in a little bit, and then slap on a patch that my acupuncturist gave me. I don’t like being in pain…

i went to see Wall E again last night, and I cried again. i think it’s an awesome movie, but I really love the short before this one. *loves Alec Azam!*

Rich’s mom is visiting again, she spent the night. Last night she was asking me what tofu tasted like, because she’d heard it tasted bad… so this morning I made a pastry with a flaky crust and filled it with tofu cream cheese with a little honey and a lot of strawberries. She loved it… and when she was done I told her it was tofu (don’t worry, I’d established that she wasn’t allergic the evening before, when I thought about doing this).

We went out for a drink on Friday, as is usual for us. We like to sit around and talk about our week, have a drink, maybe some dinner… but this Friday I was just not feeling up to it… it was waaaay too hot to be sitting around drinking, so we just came home and ate dinner and watched a movie.

I worked for the cosmetics gig yesterday, and I did makeovers on two girls named Kaylee, and met a third. Dang, there are a lot of Kaylees! Training is coming up on Tuesday,and it will be awesome!

It’s time for a favorites edit; I have to get rid of the trainwrecks. I read some folks because I just can’t turn away… and I also have a few faves who have totally opposite views than my own, and it’s gotten to the point where I’m no longer broadening my perspective, but instead think "what the fuck is she talking about? Drama queen." So yeah… i just need to read folks I actually enjoy…

I’ve been known to use that same trick on family. I learned several years ago that you can add mayo or sauerkraut (sp?) to chocolate cake to keep it moist, but the flavor cooks out, so we tried it with the kraut. No one knew the difference until we told them later. 😀

I hear ya. I went through a did some editing myself. Although I’ve been a bad Fav (if I’m even on your faves..) *oh look, there is a whole list right to the left…* whoo hoo! I am. anyways… i’ve been a bad fave because I haven’t updated lately. It’s just…. life is so good, I’ve been living instead of writing. Okay, inspired by your entry, I will write more about how awesome my life is. 🙂
