What am I getting myself into?

Did I mention that I signed up for a free 6-week Hatha for Beginners class? Hatha is apparently a form of yoga. I honestly have no idea what the difference is...but I bet there are several types of yoga out there.

I'm a bit worried that I will look like a total fool. There is this part in the class description which reads: "This class is most appropriate for those who can easily get up and down on the floor." Hmmm - define "easily"...er, for that matter define "get up." LMAO I bet everyone there will look great and fit...and there I will be in the back row hoping I'm not showing my ass to anyone as I bend down. :o)

Still, I've wanted to try yoga for a long time, and I just couldn't say no to a free 6 week class taught by a professional! You can get in on the savings too - just pop over to the Stonewall Columbus web page to learn more (first class is on 2/16). This class is being offered there as part of a grant they won. I figure I would take advantage of the offer. I want to be more flexible and learn how to stretch properly. I also want to learn how to meditate (or focus more on the now) and relax without pills. That's why I also signed up for a one day only, but still FREE, class called Energy Work and Meditation. Again, check out the SWC web page for more info.

If anyone out there has some personal experience with yoga (or Hatha in particular), drop me a note!

Today was a long day...I had my SpeakOUT board meeting. I'm not going to vent about that right now. I just want to wash it out of my head and move-on. JM (a fellow board member) was very sweet though and bought me a huge heart-shaped box of Russell Chocolates. What a guy! I did managed to sneak over to the Laughing Ogre (the best comic book joint in town) and pick up issues 9 & 10 of Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season 8. (Sweet!) Brian started feeling poorly though and so I spent the rest of the day taking care of business (ironing, grocery shopping, car wash...) I waited too long to make it over to pick up my prescription at Giant Eagle though...bummer. Once we ate and all that, it was well past 8PM. So I helped both kids wrap up their homework, got their book bags ready for school and even managed to wrangle them into the shower before bed. Whew! No wonder I'm pooped.

Anyhow...I'm off to slumber land. Chat with you all later...
