Highs & Lows

Let's pretend this blog is an upper-middle class family dinner and discuss the high and low points of my day.

High

I receive weekly project assignments for my job, and I was so psyched to see that I had been spared an assignment this week!

Low

I actually did receive a project assignment; it just came out after I checked. Boo.

High

I had the privilege of attending yoga class today on my lunch hour. The day is always better with a mid-day yoga sesh. It's not a pretty situation when I miss too many yoga classes (i.e. I'm a stress mess). 

Low

I use a canvas bag to tote my lunch and gym clothes to work and, thanks to a too-quick stop on the freeway this morning, my lentil soup spilled onto my sports bra. I'm sure my fellow yogis were not appreciative of the onion-y smell wafting off of my cleavage. It actually smelled pretty delicious, so this item might belong in the "high" category after all.

High

Every spring and fall I sign up for tennis lessons, and tonight is the inaugural lesson for the fall season!  I've only had very subtle improvement over the past three seasons, but it's still fun to play outside for an hour once a week at a pretty resort.

High

I keep a dish of Ghirardelli  dark chocolate squares (the ones with sea salt and almonds changed my life) in the house, and I grabbed a couple on the way out the door this morning to share with my honey on the drive to work. He immediately dropped his in the space between the car seat and the center console, so being the amazing fiancee I am, I shared mine with him (even gave him the bigger piece - he's so lucky to be marrying me ;). Once I dropped him off at his building, you better believe I nearly broke my hand fishing for that dropped chocolate. Two chocolates before 8am? Yes, please.

My soon-to-be sister-in-law (hyphen central!) gave me some hand-me-down (again!) lululemon tops, and they are so comfy that I am considering boycotting tennis in favor of a nap. Mmm...free workout gear.
