thanks msbelle!

My nephew and SIL will be here soon to pick me up. SO EXCITED!

And made plans with Bad Idea Boy. Don't tell ita.

Allyson, tread lightly there. I want a happy Allyson.

I don't think I've ever met a happy Allyson. Does content count?

I've seen you laughing and having a good time. Here's what I worry about. You have a good time with this old friend and your mind only goes to a place of regretting what you think might have been. Worse, in my mind, would be flirting that would lead to anything happening between the two of you. Have a good visit, remember why y'all were great friends and hopefully the friendship will now continue for many more years.

I hope I am not overstepping by saying all that. Could be that I am projecting my own issues.

I want to find ita a boyfriend. Too bad the only cute single geek I know in LA is like the opposite of physically lethal.

HI HEC!

Are you back to yoga yet?

Yes! I start teaching next week.

Are your hips filled with sexy new cartilage?

Still hard to tell. I think I won't know for a year if the surgery totally "took."

Has the Legasus been retired?

Yes! I don't miss him, unsurprisingly.

Rio, please come here and be my yoga teacher. I am hoping to restart classes ASAP but fear new classes and teachers. WAH.

I am so happy there is a new RW/RR challenge on, it is the perfect way to waste my half day.

That and cooking up some chicken for this week's food. yummy food smells in my house.

Moderation was moderately exercised. The headaches are good for something, because they drove me out of the store before I could do too much damage.

Sadly the B&N nearest me is closing down in a couple weeks. There were people wandering all over it muttering "the 14th?" both to each other, staff, and people on their cell phones. Got free with a physical training book, graphic novel, stretching and Gray's (not Grey's, regrettably) flash cards. Medicated my self-pity at my lame constitution with a Coffee Bean chai latte and replaced my Bodum French press with one both smaller and unbroken.

Question--how do folks pronounce Bodum? I'd being going Boh-dumb, but the sales guy was all short o.

Allyson, you know you're not exactly looking out for your own happiness. So watch out.

Very cool to hear you're back to teaching, Rio.

Rio, please come here and be my yoga teacher.

OK!
