Embarassing admission of the day: those commercials for the Marines make me choke up.

Anyhow, today I went to another yoga class. We did many exercises designed to open up the hips and work on balance. In doing this, I discovered that I have poor balance and I still have some issues with my right hip. I need to work on making sure I keep it in line. Also, it seems that my favored sleeping position is the worst possible thing for my lower back and hip. Sigh. But the good side is that I have an excuse to buy a big pillow to help alleviate the problem.

The news about the massacre at Virginia Tech makes me think of all the other terrible things I've watched on the news over the years. I don't think I'll ever forget watching Columbine unfold from the breakroom in the advertising offices at the Texan. But I will say that guns just make it easier to kill people. People are the real problem.

USAA needs to stop sending me brochures for fancy diamonds.

Callisto is having a sale and free shipping for orders over $50. Temptation, once again. I really want to try the Strawberry Glacé and Meadow.

I'm thinking about a lot of big changes in my life. Mostly they are hypothetical things right now, but there is the sense in the air that something's coming.

I've finished the shoulders of your corset and am starting on the ribbing now. By Sunday or next week there should be enough that you can try it on to see if the top parts fit okay... youou might want to swing by here sometime when you visit your Mom, since we're not that much further up the road?

This cotton is just plied (without the smooth outer casing that my light blue had) so it's not going to be as shiny, but I guess that's not surprising considering the price. The forest green is really nice to work with though, and cat hairs show up clearly so it's easy to pick them off. =)

Since most of my plans from now till Phoenix Rising involve sitting on the couch knitting (TiVo is nearly at maximum capacity), I should really go renew my gym membership and make that part of my daily routine again. Every time you mention yoga it makes me feel guilty. =)

I just got this comment today. *smacks email* Definitely. Just let me know when a good time is. I'm off on Mondays usually as well. (Though I think I am going to the lake this week maybe?)

I feel guilty because I'm not doing much yoga at home!
