wednesday

Good afternoon. I thought today was going to suck, but so far it hasn't. I actually slept well last night and didn't attempt a nap between my two morning yoga classes. I'm tired, but not overly tired. It was nice to enjoy a lengthy breakfast between my classes. I had a bagel with coffee, orange juice and water. Mornings are my favorite time of day. I love when I have 2-3 hours to myself with nothing to do but surf the net, drink my coffee, practice putting flows together, etc. Mornings are my time. Keith is never awake and I really enjoy spending time alone. I often think about how much my life would change if I ever had kids. I am one of those people who deeply values alone time, and in most cases I'd rather be alone than with others.


Allegedly it's going to snow in Portland starting tonight and into tomorrow. I'm skeptical. This is the third time they've been sure we were going to get snow this season. Events cancelled, buses chained, the whole nine. Part of me is really hoping for snow, but only if it's enough to cancel my classes so I don't have to drive in it. I already hate to drive as it is. I do teach in the Pearl tomorrow night, so I'll be able to teach that one regardless of the weather because I walk there.

Speaking of snow, Monday when I was at Meadows the roads were clear when we got there, and when we left they were snow covered. Amber has a Subaru and was able to handle the conditions just fine, but still! It was crazy how much it snowed while we were there. And it was crazy how much the snow hurt as it hit you in the face on the way down the mountain. I was riding at times with my arms in front of my face to shield myself. When we were on the lift it was most intense because you're just sitting there completely still, getting beaten up by the high winds. Conditions were wintry, that's for sure. I love the mountain. My soul feels happy there. I could see myself living on a mountain like that one day, when I'm much older and able to afford a really nice mountain cabin with all the luxuries my heart desires. I love the city too, it's hard to say which one I prefer. Don't think I could pick.

I have to say I think it's bizarre how mainstream it is to post ultrasound photos on facebook. I can not tell you have many friends I have who do this. Not everyone needs to see up close and personal photos of your uterus. But, that's my opinion! To each his own. Or her own, I guess.
