Misbehaving Tuesday: Ayurvedic Edition
Teacher training over the weekend got me thinking: which dosha governs misbehaving? Most dosha tests reveal that I am equally kapha and pitta, with vata always scoring very low. So, it stands to reason that if we all have elements of all three doshas, my misbehaving dosha would be vata. It is the dosha I [...]

Poop
The window was open, and I was sitting on the couch with my laptop doing some work. One wiener dog was perched on top of the sofa assiduously surveying the neighborhood. The other wiener dog was curled up by my left arm, napping. Then, SOMETHING HAPPENED. Either someone tried to break into the house, or [...]
Like Camping
So far, the 500 hour teacher training is like camping. INTENSE. (Get it? Intense? In tents? Hahaha! Words.)
The lesson for the weekend is that pranayama kicks my butt. There are other lessons, too, such as after a day of training, it is really better for me not to be around people, and sitting on a [...]
Teaching is Fun.
This is as close to blogging under the influence as I will ever get: blogging after a day of teacher training. Similar effect, only less funny and much, much nicer.
I was more nervous practice teaching for five minutes this morning than I have been since I taught my first full class. Of course, as [...]
Right Place, Right Time
First of all, I wore flip-flops today. I wore them outside, on my way to teach in Towson this afternoon. If for no reason other than that, life is very, very good. Also, the lavender polish is growing on me. It is a pleasant change.
That aside, the 500 hour training started tonight. When I signed [...]
Put in My Place
“Where are you from?” is one of those easy, straightforward, conversation starters that makes me squirm. I have resigned myself to responding, “that’s complicated,” or, since moving back to Baltimore,”I’m from here, but I didn’t grow up here,” which gets some funny looks as one could infer either that I grew up somewhere else, or [...]
Misbehaving Tuesday: Getting Poked Edition
My day started with a good, long, hard stare into my underwear drawer. I had a doctor’s appointment scheduled and no matter how brazen I may be in some parts of my life -blogging about my underwear for example- I just cannot bring myself to wear even remotely sexy underwear to a doctor’s appointment. I [...]
I Know It When I See It.
I dabbled in writing erotica for a few months, knowing full well that once my fiction class started I would have to set it aside temporarily and not necessarily get serious -good erotica is its own art- but get whatever the opposite of writing dirty stories is for me.
Guess how long that lasted?
I had this [...]
Anti-anti
First of all, this is not a funny post.
When I found out this weekend that a young person close to me was recommended for anti-depressants, I had my habitual reaction, which is to freak out a little, demand second opinions that aren’t mine to demand, and rant about how anti-depressants are wildly over-prescribed. It is [...]
