hip deep in pie

What's a good stretch (other than that one, obviously) that would help open up my shoulders so I can lift my arms higher behind my back?

A gentler stretch that helps open your clavicle is to stand in a doorway (not too wide a doorway) and put your palms up flat against the door jamb at shoulder height. Then step one leg forward and you should feel a stretch across your clavicle. Hold for 30-60 secs. And then change feet.

Yoga has really helped me with a lot of my shoulder tension. But I have to keep it up, or it gets all knotted up again.

the hardest to learn / was the least complicated

Um...hmmm...mostly it was a matter of just doing it a lot I think.

Well, I intend to keep doing it, but I'm not seeing any progress at all, which is why I'm hoping there's some other stretch that might help.

I can check with my yoga instructor friend for some tips.

That would be cool.

Cool -- I'll try that. Thanks!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I like to hang off the top of the door jamb, but I guess that wouldn't work for everyone...

And yeah, since shrift and I have been going for several years, I'd hopefully question the socially inept part. I'll happily lay claim to "nerd."

Well that's why I separated the two. Nerds are cool. The socially inept are socially inept.

Sorry if it sounded like I pissing all over things. I was mostly just pissing all over half-dressed idiots. Which, probably some kind of movie franchise.

Ruh-roh, Daisy! We're going to start off our mutual love of football season countering each other!

(long pause while she makes sure the Tivo is set up correctly.)

Go Colties! Superbowl champs, whoo!

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Yoga really is Teh Bomb at opening oneself up. I used to just rely on my dance stretches, and kept getting stiffer anyway. Yoga's counteracted the stiffness very nicely. (Now I just have to shift myself to do it more than once a week.)

Re: Dragon*Con costumes, I have a mad love for the Hellgirl chick. That's pretty damn awesome.

NFL starts tonight! Whoo!

It'll be cool. Manning's playing his hometown. Imagine how he feels.
