Month: July 2012

Getting Back On Track

I’ve spent the last week kinda slacking off. Here’s an instagramalicious summary:

It LOOKS like a lot more than it really was, I promise you. That’s because I thought I’d do the Photo a Day July thing but meh. I’ve lost interest already. I suck at those things. I spent quite a bit of time playing games on Facebook and rereading Harry Potter books and rewatching Harry Potter movies. I did manage to teach Aidan a little bit of yoga, though:

Tree Pose (Vriksasana)

That was fun. Eventually, he said “Mom, you do your yoga, and I’ll play the Wii.” And I had a decent practice that night!

So I had an OK week, despite feeling pain in my side again, which I’m working on treating, and not eating nearly enough fruits and veggies. πŸ™ And also feeling inexplicably cranky too often. Definitely moody. And getting tired of all the screens. The TV is constantly going. Adam’s constantly in the room on his iPad. Aidan’s constantly staring at YouTube, and I’m constantly staring at MY screen playing games, reading blogs, or obsessing over Tumblr. No bueno. Now that the weather has cooled down (no lie, I’ll take the searing heat over the dead of winter ANY TIME but it was even a bit warm for me at times), I really want to go outside (somewhere there is a lot of trees and grass), sit under a tree, and read and listen to my iPod and let nature recharge me.

I need to focus again. Teacher training and my apprenticeship did not take place last week due to the holiday but next week, we’ll be back, working on standing twists (oh joy–time for me to topple over in class!) and whatever else can be squeezed in. Wednesday I have to teach a sequence during my apprenticeship session. I’m only a little bit nervous now, but I know I’ll be SUPER nervous come Wednesday. I’ll be teaching to the public, y’all. *bites nails*

I have to do work for teacher training, work freelance clients, and I have library books I need to read before Saturday. I also need to start reading yoga books for my book review. BUT I get to spend Friday with my dear friend, which I am looking forward to more than anything. It’s also Adam’s birthday and I believe brunch at Bleeding Heart is going to happen (Lord knows what we can find for Aidan to eat there but I can see him going for the chicken) so that should be fun.

For now, I leave you with a video of the fireworks on my neighborhood from the Fourth:


Later!

Red, White & You!

Well, HELLO THERE! If you’re popping by from the Follower Fest, Welcome! I shake you warmly by the hand. (50 points if you can tell me what movie that’s from.) If you’re a repeat visitor, thanks for coming back! (Also, if you’re a repeat visitor, you don’t have to read this. You probably know everything already.)

Happy July 4th!

I’m Ronni!

I’m a mom, wife, editor, dreamer, and daydreamer. I have awesome kinky curly hair that is most certainly not a trend. Sometimes people are confused as to my race. I let them be. I love my family, yoga, reading (especially contemporary YA romance), going to Disney World, spaghetti, playing sim games, music, dancing, and watching gymnastics. I don’t like winter, loud parties, bigots, mushrooms, onions, heavy traffic, and red lights. I’m married to Adam, a ghost hunter and author, and I’m the mom of Aidan, who is the most awesome kid in the whole darn universe.

Aidan Is excited for the new Ninjago that's coming on tonight.

I’m in training to get my 200-hour yoga teacher certification. It’s been a crazy but amazing ride. I’m learning so much, it’s crazy.

Half-Assed Dancer's Pose (Natarajasana)
I suck at balancing poses, ok.

I have a lot of dream jobs. One is to be a parade dancer at Disney World. I got to do the next best thing in February, by riding a float in the Disney Animal Kingdom’s Jammin’ Jungle Parade!

Jammin' Jungle Parade

Yeah, it was awesome!! We LOVE to go to Disney World. We try to go at least once a year. Adam goes for the food, I go for the atmosphere, some of the rides, the shows, the characters, the food, and the music. Aidan goes for the rides and the food.

It's Us!

I talk a lot about my day-to-day life because for some reason, there are people who find that interesting. (And I love them for it!) I talk about yoga, and I post lots of pictures. I posted lots of pictures before it became a *thing*! /hipstermoment. I’m goofy and honest and real. Still interested? Then please follow me or subscribe to my feed and come visit again. Make sure you let me know you stopped by. I love making new blog friends. πŸ™‚
