What Am I Doing?

The time has come for me to resume studying for the remainder of the CPA exam. I'm half-way there. Two more sections left--the hardest two at that.

I have been trying to start studying for what seems to be like two weeks now. My mind/ego always comes up with 'more important' things for me to do. Miniscule house chores, internet surfing, learning about something else.

I would rather learn about yoga, the energy flow, presence, enlightenment, about our world, how to fix and change our world for the better, among other things. The last thing I care to learn about at this point is accounting. If anyone has any motivational words please share them with me. I need it!!

Thanks for listening. Peace.

Making Progress..

...in both yoga & the house.

I have attended Bikram yoga 3 days in a row!! Holy cow...it feels so great. I'm taking the day off tomorrow to spend time with Brady while he's off work. We have a whole slue of things to do for the house. We don't get to move our stuff in until the 14th because we are waiting on the painters and the carpet to be installed. They will actually be done a couple days sooner, but we are going to the Kings of Leon concert in Austin on Tuesday for my birthday...so we will just have to wait :)

~Here are some pictures of the progress~

As far as Bikram goes...it is going great. I had my best day yet today. I'm getting acclimated to the heat, and boy does that help. I'm incredibly sore though...but I must push through that. I definitely didn't expect to love it this much. That's what I get for being snooty about my yoga studios.

Also, as I was looking to print out the recycling list in San Antonio I found out that it is one of the best in Texas! I'm so excited that I wanted to share it with y'all.

Whewie!


Well, the past couple days have been a whirlwind to say the least. I took possession of the house & went to Bikram yoga for the first time on Wednesday. I am so glad to finally have the house!! The interior is being painted right now--I will post pics tomorrow because I had a little hiccup with my camera...I'll explain that in a minute.

Bikram was great! I'm so glad to being doing yoga again...I just love it. Although the entire 90 minutes I'm there I am wonder why the hell I would subject myself to this. But after class is when I find out why...because it works wonders for your mind, body, & soul. It is such a great feeling coming out of that HOT room and into the cool 82' dressing room knowing you just did something SO GREAT for your entire being. I liked it so much that I went back today. And I'm probably going tomorrow, too...if I'm not too sore ;)

Alright, about the camera.

Sooo...as I was moving things back and forth between my house and Scriven's my DSLR managed to fall out of my backpack and onto the driveway. Bummer. BIG bummer.

Take a look...


Sad, huh? Well, lucky for me...my birthday is on Monday! I got a new one because they said it would cost almost double the original price to fix it. As I'm unpacking it at home my contractor walks in so, naturally, I show him my busted up camera to explain why I got a new one. Like I have previously thought, he also thought that just the lens busted & a piece was left on the body. He took some pliers to it and got it off! So, I will be making a trip back to Best Buy to return my camera & just get a new lens (& save some $moolah$ too). He walked in a just the perfect time, otherwise I never would have thought to pry it off myself.

There is a life-situation update for you!

Peace
