In the proud tradition of Falcon, I’ve got some ramdomness for you!
• Mr. Chili and I are headed to IKEA this morning with a van and a credit card. Our hope is to score a new bedroom set, some bookcases, a couple of wardrobes, some end tables for the living room, and a filing [...]
Posted in Home and Family, My husband rocks!, admiration, celebration, love notes, ten things Tuesday on October 30, 2007 | 4 Comments »
Ten things - of the innumerable things - I love about my husband:
1. He is, at his heart, a truly decent man. He is kind and thoughtful, considerate and gentle. Above all else, he’s a good person.
2. He plays with his children regularly and with abandon. He reads to the [...]

I TOLD you I wouldn’t make it out of the weekend without crying!
The YNG troop were sitting around in a circle on our mats yesterday, discussing the inspirational reading we were asked to do for homework:
1.33 In relationships, the mind becomes purified by cultivating feelings of friendliness [...]

Yesterday morning at Yoga National Guard was mostly spent in practice. David taught Kali Ray Triyoga, which I’d never heard of before but, it turns out, is very close to the style of yoga I’ve been teaching for years.
Triyoga is essentially “flow” yoga - allowing the breath to dictate the movement and flowing from [...]

As a teacher, I’m a little ashamed of myself. The first exam for YNG was last night, and I just KNOW I bombed it. I got pronation and supination backwards, I’m pretty sure I confused ligaments and tendons, and I completely forgot the planes of the body.
Dammit!
My only consolation is that the penalty for getting [...]

…two to go.
Mr. Chili and I were discussing the World Series yesterday.
Understand that I’m not much of a baseball girl. At all. That may be un-American of me, and I hope you don’t like me any less, but I just don’t enjoy the game all that much. I kind of feel about [...]

The latest selection for the Dark and Stormy Book Club is Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley’s Frankenstein!
A lot of people are unfamiliar with Shelley’s story - they think that Frankenstein is the tall green guy with bolts in his neck who goes around moaning and terrorizing villagers. They are surprised when they find that much of [...]

Over the past two weeks or so, Mr. Chili and I have managed to have the upstairs carpet replaced, paint our old bedroom (no, not REpaint our old bedroom - it was never finished beyond primer in the first place), clean out the girls’ old room and move them upstairs. We’re one step closer [...]

Ten things going on in Mrs. Chili’s world:
1. Bo, SaintSeester and I continue to rock the Dark and Stormy Book Club. You can go here to listen to the podcast of our last selection, Philip K. Dick’s Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep, and go here to participate in the online blog discussion [...]

For those of us who enjoy our New England sports, I offer this little celebration:
The Red Sox win the ALCS pennant and clinch a World Series spot against the Colorado Rockies by winning three consecutive must-win games and beating the Cleveland Indians in game seven of the playoff series with a score of 11-2.
The Patriots [...]
