Its been a wild and wooly week for your favorite blogger (shhh it doesn't have to be true)! My week last week started off with a weird stomach bug that I at first thought was the result of a hangover from a fabulous par-tay, the hangover theory proved wrong quickly when I kept getting ill all week. As I was rounding the bend towards health I was blessed with my monthly visit from Aunt Flo and that quickly transcended into unpleasant cramps and annoying fatigue. Then my long awaited first weekend of Yoga Teacher Training (YTT)!!! The weekend was amazing, I am terrified of becoming a teacher and have my doubts about my abilities in said teaching field but this weekend made me feel so peaceful, so at home and where I should be that I couldnt help but feel complete confidence in the Universe that I was doing EXACTLY what I was meant to do. Exciting is not a big enough word to encompass that feeling but I think ya'll get the drift.
Then came dang Irene! She got in the way of the third day of the 3 day weekend and my roomate, her 2 boys (ages 4 and 7) and I had to evacuate to my parents house for 2 VERY long days. It was stressful not knowing what was going on with my house and even more stressful keeping two little ones under control for two days in a foreign household (to them at least) but we all made it through and we made our way home that Monday to find our house just fine but without electricity (like so many others!). It was a relief and annoying all at the same time. We quickly discovered that after it gets dark that no matter how many candles you have, its not enough to keep you entertained for long so bed at 9pm it was!
The week went on and I mooched electricity and showers at my parents house until Thursday night when our power was restored! So happy were we that we did a dance and then turned on ALL the lights to celebrate. I will never take electricity for granted again!
And here we are, up to date with my doings, tonight is my very dear friend Tara's bachelorette party (her wedding is in ONE WEEK!) and I get to celebrate with almost all of my favorite people (the only exception being my beloved Jenny in New Orleans, dealing with Tropical Storm Lee) and I am very excited!
There is lots going on in my life and I feel good about almost every part of it (the exceptions being the not having a job and quickly running out of funds and of course, the every annoying non-existent love life but I can live with both being bland...for now). Life is good and I feel blessed in so many ways.
Until next time America.
Love, Lights and Red Hot Chili Pepper Goodness.
