Slacking Somewhat

So, I've been slacking when it comes to my blog posts. In my defense, I really don't have that much going on that is interesting enough to write about. At least I don't think so. Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe I'll start to write some things down every day and see what I have by the end of the week. Hopefully that will help with the lack of blog-worthy material...

In other news, I am now an oblate! My 3rd level of relationship with the Erie Benedictines. I now enter the ranks as one of the youngest, I believe. It's interesting to see how far I've come with my relationship with the sisters in 3 1/2 years.

Halloween is right around the corner, along with possible remnants of Hurricane Sandy, which should make for an interesting week. I have my costume for our classroom party at work. I'll be a giraffe, or a pink cheetah...whatever anyone thinks I look like. Tomorrow we're carving a pumpkin with my toddlers. Should be a messy endeavor, but also a lot of fun.

This week's yoga pose is (and forgive the outfit. It's my costume. It's fleece, it's cold in my house, and I'm too cheap to turn up the heat right now):

Triangle Pose

Hold for 5 breaths in and out, then switch direction

Benefits:

Opening of your chest, lungs and heart

Reassuring steadiness in your limbs

Conscious equilibrium of the mind and body

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!
