Our Married Life

Poor neglected blog. I will update soon…

I am actually sitting here getting my toes done. It was either that or do nothing at home. This past week has been totally hectic. But it did make the week go by by faster. Even reesey had a busy week. We took her to the groomer. Unfortunately the other night we discovered a big wound on the top of her head. It looked like the groomer may have brushes the top of her head too hard or cut her. I was so upset. I couldn’t imagine how much pain she must have been though. Luckily her spirit is still the same. I dont think I would take her back there. Or maybe we should take better care of her mats. So with that aside, there wasn’t much else going on.

So Brian and I went to our second session at Sunstone Yoga today. This time we were a bit more tired and a little less motivated. Only because it was already 6pm and we’re usually at home by then. Perhaps we should stick to doing yoga on the weekends. About halfway through, Brian mouthed that he was tired and ready to go. That pretty much broke my concentration and I too was ready to go. But we stuck it through the entire 90 minutes. My clothes were drenching with sweat, but this time I was able to tolerate the heat much better than the last time and also my breathing was more calm. Maybe it’s because I put less effort in the poses. But it’s so hard trying to grab on to your toes or legs when your hands and legs are all slick with sweat. So our 10 day trial period is over. I think we’ll buy a pass and use it as a supplement to working out. I’m going to try to get Brian to go to the yoga classes at 24 hour fitness to see if he likes that as much before we commit to anything….

I dragged Brian to a Yoga studio for the first time. I figured we needed some cleansing and since we can never make it to the gym together to workout, why not try yoga. Somehow, the only studio that I thought looked really good was Sunstone Yoga. It’s basically a chain of franchises. This was also hot power yoga. The classroom we were in was heated at 98.6 degrees. The technique they used in this particular class was hatha, which is what I’ve done before. I was a bit scared of the heat since my body isn’t too tolerant of heat, BUT we made it through. This was Brian’s first time doing yoga and he thought it was good. I took a yoga class in college and liked it alot, although it wasn’t heated. Anyway, we’re both a bit sore today, but we’re going to try again next Saturday. I’m also going to try one of the yoga classes at the gym to see which I like better. If I happen to like the hot yoga better, I think I’m going to cancel my gym membership and go to the yoga studio instead. I can always do my weight and cardio training at the work gym. Besides, I can never find the right time to go to the real gym.

The “Going Green” propaganda is EVERYWHERE. I know it’s because Earth Day is tomorrow, but can they shove this in our face more?? I am all for going green but geez. One example is an email marketing from Cooking.com I got with a subject line that read
“Earth-Friendly Recipes: Smart Seafood, Local Ingredients, Garden Herbs”.

I didn’t do too well this weekend on the veggie thing. I ate meat, **sigh** blasphemy! That’s ok though, as long as I am eating veggies 80% of the time, I’ll be ok.

After one snow day, followed by a beautiful sunny day, the snow came back with full force. It left much of Dallas all slushy, but the area near my work office had heavy snowflakes. It was so pretty. Anyway, it took me over 2 hours to get home as documented by my trusty iPhone. But that also included a detour to the pharmacy in Richardson to pick up my dad’s prescriptions. So my early release day pretty much suck. Now I’m just catching on work stuff.

We finally got snow. I didn’t think we would this season considering it’s already March, but we finally got it. It started last night around 6. I wish we took some pictures of our house since this is the first snow at our new house. Oh well, maybe next time. I doubt it’s going to stay cool for long, so by the time we get home, it would’ve melted. There were several traffic accidents on the way to work. Why can’t people be more cautious? I mean you don’t have to drive slow, but just be more aware.

I usually get all giddy when we do have snow, but with all that is going on, it’s hard to feel that way. I just come to work, go to the hospital, go home, have dinner and fall asleep. How sucky is that? On top of that, I have to take a different route to work so I can drop my mom off at her place and traffic is ten times worse. UGH. Thank goodness for starbucks on the way. Speaking of which, we need to drink more coffee at home. Brian and I both went to Starbucks to buy a bag of beans so we’ve got tons of coffee to use up. I love freshly ground coffee and my grinder for that.

I managed to read a chapter for the PMP exam. As long as I can put in the extra effort on the weekends, I think I will be ok. I’ve got a full month now, so no more excuses.

I am hoping my dad will be released from the hospital tomorrow, so life will be back to semi normal in the next few days. We will see.

In other news, I was hoping to go vote today, but I guess I will wait until election day. I’m still torn between who to vote for, I suppose because I don’t know enough.

One last thing, I’m wearing a sweater that’s pretty popular at work. I hope the others don’t wear it too.

Reesey and I went out for our bedtime walk tonight and there’s snow everywhere! There must be several inches on the ground and the sidewalks and street are covered in slush. The house is covered pretty heavily too, hopefully it’s bright enough tomorrow morning I can take pictures of it. According to weather.com it looks like it is supposed to keep this up for several more hours and then stay cold enough that it’ll stay on the ground at least through lunch tomorrow.
