Yoga 101

Well, here we go again. I haven't done yoga since my freshman year of college at Hamline. And I had quit for a reason: IT HURT!

But, Groupon had a 5-class pass for the Yoga Eight studio, so I thought I'd give it another shot. I went to the beginner class last night. I was pleasantly surprised! The owner/instructor taught a very good beginner class. I actually felt good afterwards, especially my neck, which for my old lady neck is awesome.

Downward facing dog is still giving me problems, but it'll just have to be a work in progress, as will shavasana. For the life of me, I can't quiet my mind. "Acknowledge your thought and move on," the instructor said. Yeah...sure, I'll work on that. Maybe if I had a mantra to repeat it would help. I felt like Elizabeth in Eat Pray Love, yelling at her mind.

Try again next Tuesday!

O Christmas Tree

It's December 1st, and I have, therefore, lifted the Christmas music ban.

We put up the tree, and lights on the deck. I subjected the furry children to wearing their sweaters. Insert death stares.

And now it's past my bed time.

Love Always,

CSA: For the Win!

I'm going to be a canning fiend tomorrow! I'm making salsa and basil garlic pasta sauce. We got 10 pounds of tomatoes included with our CSA share, so we went to the farm this afternoon and picked them. We also had 4 pounds of tomatoes in our share from Saturday, plus the ones we've gotten in the last couple weeks' shares (I blanched and froze them). There is a ridiculous amount of tomatoes on our counter! I had to buy most of the peppers at the grocery store, but I'll be using a few pepperoncinis, a few serranos, and one jalapeno from our deck plants. For the pasta sauce, I didn't have enough basil, so we had to buy some, but about a third of it is from our deck. This will be my first solo canning experience, so wish me luck!

Love Always,

Kaitlin
