Time at the Big Software Make was actually really fascinating. I am not sure that I'm allowed to even say what I was doing... all those Non-Disclosure Agreements and everything... but it was really very cool.

At dinner tonight we had the most wonderful family time. We have been using these little cards that ask questions. We have always done this (we call it the Nandi Bull Bowl -- it is a bowl with Nandi bulls all around it). I usually make up my own questions but when we were at American Girl Place they had some pre-made ones and we've been using those. They are great. Tonight they had us laughing so hard, we were all crying.

I have found that some of the hardest blogging is on the days when one doesn't practice. That's when you have to honestly look at life in order to blog instead of just falling back on blogging about whatever pose you hate right now and whichever one you like. Cinny smelled so bad that I had to take her to give her a bath... so I went to this do-it-yourself dog wash. It was classic. The wife of one of the partners I used to work for was there... I didn't know what to do and Cinny basically was a basket case. She was making the strangest most pathetic whining noises ever that I ended up not even drying her.

She now smells refreshingly like Wet Dog. :(

I was so happy to be home today. I literally didn't work today *GASP* Well I did here and there but not really any deep work. I taught kids yoga and had the best discussion of what a hero is... while we were in hero's pose, of course! I was excited when I asked if anyone could remember one of the things I mentioned that muscles need to grow and one of the kids said "Breath." :) :)

After yoga I caught up on life. I took the dog to the wash, to the dog store to get dog food (poor thing had a hot dog last night... I'm sure she was pretty happy), the grocery store, the dog to school to get the kids, the dry cleaning... I even made dinner. I lemongrass stir fry with cilantro root (instead of leaves, interesting).

I ignored everything.. work, the pile of dirty clothes, the suitcase I haven't unpacked.

Okay, okay... and I opened up one of the bottles of Cakebread Pinot that came in the mail today... I mean, I couldn't resist.
