So I took him to Yum to console him and it's closed and gone.

No! Yum is closed?!?

I don't know how to live in a world like this.

I am so sore today from a yoga class on Tuesday night that it hurts to type.

Heh. I just ordered a yoga DVD called Yoga for Inflexible People, because lo, I am extremely inflexible. I mean, REALLY.

So, that bridge that collapsed? I had family cross it 30 minutes before the collapse on their way to the airport. They would have been on the bridge when it collapsed, except they stopped to eat some lunch. That's a little too close to comfort. A friend of one of my relatives is in the hospital...the extent of her injuries are not yet known. Yuck.

yikes, vw. damn.

Yikes, vw. Hope everything works out ok.

I was a bit of a bonehead about the whole thing.

I passed by the tv at some point and saw that a bridge in Mississippi had collapsed. I hand waved it cause obviously, bridges collapsing in Mississippi /= important information to me(Bad Aimee.).

A little while later, I went upstairs and my dad was streaming the CNN coverage on the upstairs computer. He says, "My god. Can you believe this?"

"What? The Bridge in Mississippi?"

"No - the bridge OVER the Mississippi. In Minneapolis."

"What? Oh my god! Juliana lived in Minneapolis! She has friends and family there! I hope they're ok! I should call and make sure everyone is ok. Holy crap, oh my gawds!"

My dad just looks at me, as though I was the one who made the bridge fall.

"What?"

"Well, in case you happened to be wondering, your brother is fine and so is Ashley."

I was like, "Huh? Of course Nick's fine. Why wouldn't he be fine? He lives in Kala .... " t lightbulb Minneapolis.

I forgot my brother lived in Minneapolis.

Aimee = DUMBASS

YIKES! I hope your family member's friend is okay. jeez.

I've been amazed at how much more flexible I've gotten after doing yoga regularly for a couple of years. My hips and my shoulders may never be flexible enough to do some poses but the improvement has been drastic.

Eek! Hope all turns out well, vw.

I've been tempted by the cayenne lemonade liquid fast I've heard about--possibly just because I like both major ingredients.

My SIL does this regularly. Maple syrup, lemon, cayenne. Yummy. She's done it more than a month. I never made it past 7 days.

~ma for all the loved ones of people near the fallen bridge.

Yikes. It is already a struggle for me to drive over bridges. Driving up here this year I was at the wheel going over the Delaware Memorial Bridge in the pouring rain at 2am or something with zilch visibility hugging the back end of a truck so I wouldn't have to look anywhere else. The rest of the family fast asleep. Talk about white knucles. Wah. Hate bridges, can't watch news.

She's done it more than a month.

Okay, I'm sorry, but that can't be healthy! You need actual nutrition!!!

That's the bridge I grew up in the shadow of! It doesn't scare me but the Bay Bridge, which seems to float above the water, freaks my shit out. I totally white knuckle it over that one.

I haven't gone over the Bay Bridge in years. The bridge parts don't bother me too much, except the high parts, and the tunnels, and I think I'll not go over that one for a while again.

Now the next time I drive over the Bay Bridge I'm gonna be all freaked out, man.

Sparky, yay for good yoga class!
