Dinner
I haven't blogged in the past couple days because I haven't felt like there was much to blog about. As someone earlier told me, I've bitched about everything so, yea, get out of the funk already.
If I'm honest with myself, I have to admit that I know I need to change how I'm eating and, more importantly drinking! I love my wine but had pretty much stopped drinking except on Fridays... I think I'm now having wine everynight including Fridays. Yoga Chikitsa... Beginner's Mind.
Yesterday we went to a pool party. It was out in the big huge houses in Del Sur or whatever that "new Ranch" place is called. It was great fun. The Husband and I love the couple and they are just so warm, friendly and real. All the preschool parents were there, the pool was filled with toys (literally) and the girls were so excited to see each other that the screams brought the neighbors running (really)... if you don't have a girl offspring of your own, you won't understand; if you do, you are currently nodding your head. We had some beers, some good food... You gotta love Southern California because yesterday was the perfect day for a pool party. I almost forgot that living in San Diego is great for more than just one reason.
When we got home, The Daughter was so exhausted she literally just melted down. It's one of the sweetest moments to watch. It reminds me that we are all human and overcome at times and breaking down, that's okay too. The only other person I know who thinks exactly like I do when it comes to our personal funks and moods and mental fluctuations is The Best Friend. Which is why I have a couple of Done With The Funk Resolutions:
1. I will actually use the telephone and call The Best Friend and we will make a time to hang out.
2. I will actually use the telephone and call B. B & I will figure out a date for lunch or dinner while we are on the phone and we will stick to that date. (Side message to B: When I call you, remind me to ask you about the pictures... there's one I deleted that I would like to see out of curiosity... do you have it?).
3. I will email Debra over and over until she finally accepts my offer for a girl's wine night out... two funks don't make a right!
4. I will, *groan*, force myself to go to the gym... and I will do some atrocious monstrosity like the StairMonster... until I am given permission to practice again by The Best Doctor In The World.
5. I will not think, while on such apparatus the following thoughts: "My hips are tightening up." "My hamstrings are gonna pay for this." or "Mhmmm... maybe this will make my quads/glutes stronger and I'll be able to do AsanaX or Y more easily."
6. I will call Chi and ask her to find a date we can have the family over for dinner at our house! Like we used to... before life took over.
I think that's a good starting point! I always was an over-achiever.

"I always was an over-achiever." Understatement of the decade!
