So, yesterday in bellydance class this girl that I have been seeing a lot in my classes comments on how yoga is so serious. Uhhhh....Duh.
She thinks we should be able to laugh and joke, and then comments on how hard I concentrate. It's a stretching class where you are focusing on specific muscles. Perhaps they even state that this class is relaxing?
No, no honey, you are right. Go ahead and crack some jokes. It's so easy to remain in downward dog with one leg in the air while I am chatting about Justin Timberlake's new break up and Lady Gaga's new hideous outfit.
"Like OMG, Holy Cow, Can you believe it???" can be heard echoing off the walls..... I'm sure eastern monks did the same thing while trying to open their third chakras. "Dude, did you see Bill's new tunic? He wishes he could pull off that blue."

On my honor, I will try.....
I am going to start blogging. It is hard since I can no longer do it during the day at work, but I am bound and determined to resume my storytelling. And I have a new mission. OM appears to be in a funk for fall. I shall now get her to giggle with all of my wit and banter.
E's parents are in town. We went to eat at the local steakhouse. While talking, we got on the subject of online dating and E told a story about a girl who was not so good at "bonding". She would chat with guys online or on the phone and felt a "connection". One specific time left her in tears because after the first date, she discovered they like all the same tv shows. (No joke.) They had a second date and she slept with him. (also no joke.) He never called back again. E listened to her cry and then instigated a new dating rule. "No sleeping with guys for at least the first month." I began to mock the story and stated "I'm sorry, I can't sleep with you yet. I made a deal with my friend that I wouldn't sleep with men for the first month." As the waiter steps up to the table.....
"Wow, how long have you lived here?"
"A couple of years."
"Hmmm....."
I have no idea what me living in FL has to do with anything, but I'm sure the kitchen staff got a good laugh out of the story. I know our table did.
I redeemed myself tonight by not embarassing anyone. Well, except perhaps E since her BF was with us. LOL
