Whatta Way to Start my Wednesday

Every Wednesday for several weeks now, me and two very wonderful friends get up at the CRACK OF DAWN and scootch on over to the rec center for some sunrise yoga, followed by coffee/breakfast at one of the many coffee nooks around the city...

I just have to share some of the funny things that were said/experienced on this particular morning to allow you to bask in the wonderful-ness of this Wednesday routine...

1. Yoga today was all about contorting your body to the most uncomfortable poses in order to twist and knot up every internal organ possible.
Instructor said:
"Place your knees on the back of your triceps, balance your body off the floor, and placing all weight on your arms and hands, shoot your feet to the ceiling."
Okay... yea. Impossible right? At least for beginner/intermediate Yoga-ers!
We left the gym and made up our own yoga moves we'd like the instructor to try, such as:

1. Take all limbs off the mat and levitate
(to make this harder, close your eyes and do barrel rolls)
2. Next, stick out your tongue, balance your entire body above the mat, placing all weight on your tongue and teeth.
3. Do poses such as downward dog, happy baby, miserable squirrel, romping piglet, and courageous cougar-(Laurie, you're a genius)

Ahhh now don't you feel stretched and ready to roll?

After yoga, we made our way to Starbucks for a lovely morning drip, when Emily needed some study time with vocab and spelling. One word (and i'd like to pronounce it as my favorite on her list) was "Leprechaun"

Ok, so it's a pretty random, non-consequential word...

Except when you yell in the middle of a coffee shop with a man dressed in a kilt, all green, and a beard (aka, a leprechaun) walks by, and out the door.

Although he seemed furious, I still don't know if he heard me. But maybe Leprechauns have a 6th sense... Lucky me.

Happy Hump Day, Ya'll!
