YOGA- HOTIES

Since I've been back in Baton Rouge I've been doing this Hot Yogalites...It is absolutely amazing... I don't think I have ever felt my body that much. I feel I have more energy and to top it off I can stand the southern Louisiana Heat a little better. The latter is probably the greatest benefit.

Last Week I also tried the Foot detox body clease or what ever they call it. You go in put your feet in a bath of salt water and they hook you up to a machine... It pulls out all of the toxins out of your body through the pores of your feet. The water turns a disgusting color of brown and they can come by and tell you everything that it is pulling out. I'm not sure I 100 percent believe in it, but my feet were mighty soft when I pulled them out of the bath. :) Next week, I'm going to try to get some good hiking in before I leave for the frigid land called Prague. I'm getting so pumped.. enough that I pulled out my suitecase. I have started to pack though.. so much effort, but it will come soon. I did However find a european sight like netfliks... So my life is a little less stressful. I know that is a little nerdy, but regardless I had no idea what I was going to do if I couldn't do netfliks.

Another weird part of this trip is running into people I haven't seen in 6 to 3 years. I completely forgot that some of these people exisited and here we are face to face once again. Some one asked me "What are you doing here" I think that was the first time that I really felt that I was in limbo... I don't belong really anywhere right now. I feel like an eternal visitor... I felt like that at SLC as well... I mean I really can't call a dorm room home and I can't call a place that I see 2 months (if even that) home either. I guess it is the beginning of severing ties with places, but nothing I mean NOTHING is like a hot Louisiana summer. I am lucky for the people I have met and the places I have been... and I guess my idea is that people really do make the place. THAT IS THE HOME THAT I KNOW.

sorry for the ramble...

ok been a while but...
song I'm into as of today.. Skinny love by BON IVER
Movie I just loved... A SINGLE MAN (Tom Ford) STARTER FOR TEN (TOM VAUGHAN)

If you wanna get a grasp of Louisiana... watch The Divine Secrets of the YA-YA Sisterhood... I think it is under rated. I love this film... and If you watch Gossip Girl Like me because I agree I am a sell out... you are in for a little surprise.

That's all I have for now

Longest Drive of My Life

Important to remember.

1. NEVER DRIVE 21 hours by yourself in one day. After the 18th hour and the reflectors start to look like people you know you should stop.

2. NEVER trust an embassy to get back to you in a "reasonable" amount of time.

3. A place where people live should never be this HOT. NY was in the 60s when I left. Today, in my car the temperature was 95?

I drove to Hammond, LA today to drop a friend off at the train station there. Despite the fact that it was felt like I had entered into the temperature of Hell. It was a beautiful drive. I missed the greenery that Louisiana possesses. This leads me to a list of things I love about today...

1. Babies... summer is when they final come out of the woodwork... doesn't matter if they are in strollers or attempting to walk... they were in their finest form today! :)

2. I enjoyed being looked in the face. Normally, I am scrutinized for looking at people or smiling ... or god forbid wave at someone... It is nice to be around people who smile won't run around the corner when someone approaches.

3. Food... I don't think I need to explain this one to those who have ever been to Louisiana and have had the food.

4. Bike ride... I took one today... that's all it was lovely.
