Holy Crap week 5!!

DAMMIT I so owe you all a post

sorry, but you'll understand!

I can't believe its week 5!  I'm not actually counting the week I got laid off, especially since I was in Mexico at the time!  The layoff happened the 21st of January, but I didn't get home until the 24th, so that is where I'm counting from, and now its Feb 24th!  One month plus!  Damn.

OK, so real quick, I just don't have the time or energy to do the full posts on what went down in the last few days, but I'll give you the best summary I can!

• Thursday:  Drove up to Portsmouth to work on my friend Steven's boat for the day.  I promised him I'd help.  I took a bunch of fun pictures, which will be posted very soon.  That night, had dinner at Dali, a Tapas restaurant in Somerville, with our friend Lisa.  Good stuff.  More on that later.
• Friday was pretty uneventful.  Cleaned, relaxed.  The BBB had a Doctors appt that morning, and sadly the cast cannot come off yet.  So she worked from home, I cleaned, and we watched TV.  Ten Tables of course that night, which was yummy.  I had the calamari salad, an amazing spicy lentil soup, and the steak.  yummers.
• Saturday is the beginning of the real reason I'm too damn tired to post right now!  I started a Yoga Teacher Training.  I don't know what the hell I'm thinking, but I love it.  Yes, the Yoga studio that i TRY to go to each week, but haven't since before the BBB broke the foot, the people I go to Mexico with, et al, do a Teacher training at the studio.  Its pretty damn intense, I'll tell you.  And I'm in the thick of it.  It started Saturday, and ends this coming Sunday.  And that's just the first week.  I have a few more weekend sessions and 2 more full 7 day sessions to go.  Good lord!!!!   And for anyone who's done Yoga and is familiar with Primary series, well, its the second most intense yoga practice in the states, and that is what I'm learning all about.  Its the basis for the style of yoga that happens at my studio.  So, I have to learn all the poses, the sanskrit names for the poses, the different modifications students need to do if pregnant or injured, and the different adjustments that teachers do for the students when in the poses!  its Nuts!!!!  So, more on that in a minute!  I still want to wrap up my other extra curriculars!!!!
• Saturday night I was too tired to do anything, so I think we just chilled out.  I don't remember.
• Sunday, after Yoga, was a PARTY!  and not just any party.  It was the TEN TABLES CAMBRIDGE pre-opening party!  And it was a blast.  Got there at 7, drank lots of wine, hung out with the staff and friends of the restaurant, ate lots of yummy passed snacks (cuz i dont feel like spelling ourderves correctly right now), and had a blast!  Left there at about 10, drove my buddy and his wife home, and came home.  Tried to watch the Oscars, but SOOOOOO BOOOORING!   Passed out on the chair.  woke up at 3 am, went to bed!  
• Monday, yoga at 830!!!  to 330!   The picked up the BBB and headed to Cambridge for the actual opening night of TEN TABLES CAMBRIDGE!!  You know it.  Yeah, I went to the party, buy I had to go and actually have dinner on the first night!  Yyyeah!  We were there about 3 hours, and had a great dinner!  Its a really nice restaurant.  I'll have to put up a link to the blog Mike made about making it all happen.  But, too lazy right now.
• Today, yoga again.  Was supposed to have acupuncture after, but the BBB was stuck in meetings, so we just headed home and cooked a bunch of stuff!  I made Farrow, sauteed onions, tempeh bacon, and peas, and roasted tomatoes. She made Mac and Chrees (not cheese, she's vegan), with peas.  I have a cat on my lap right now that isn't happy with my typing cuz I'm not petting him.  
• Heroes was only ok last night.
• Oh, I remember on Thursday maybe, or no, it must've been the weekend after the BBB went to bed, I watched the Incredible Hulk with Ed Norton.  Can't remember what day it was, but it was actually pretty good.  
• Also watched the Descent on Saturday night, which was a fun little scary movie about 6 women who go speelunking, and run into scary flesh eating man things underground.  Actually not bad!

So, just a quick fill in on why I'm so tired from doing Yoga Teacher training

• The weekend sessions aren't bad, 1230 to 630.  Primary series class at about 2.  Crazy tiring and intense, that yoga.
• Weekday sessions are 830 to 330.  Actual yoga class is 945 to 1115.  
• Before hand is discussion or review of some poses.
• After class, we break down poses and how to adjust.
• Lunch
• after that, we partner up, guide our fellow trainees through the poses, and then they do the adjustments and we do the adjustments
• I did the actual practice on Saturday and Sunday, but yesterday just observed (which is encouraged), and today observed and did adjustments when I could.  Fun, but scary at first.
• When we were doing the partner sessions, I did my first successful headstand.  My back hurts a bit now, but my whole body is sore from Primary series, and I feel pretty damn badass about doing a headstand, cuz that shit ain't easy.

So, I guess that's it.  I'm gonna go watch some TV before putting away all the food I just cooked for lunches.  

I promise I'll post up pictures from Sunday soon enough.

TEN TABLES CAMBRIDGE IS OPEN!!! To all my friends across the river, get excited!  They're on Opentable too!  Go eat!  

I guess that is it!  I gotta shower and stuff too, cuz i smell!
