• My yoga instructor tried to kill me tonight, or at least maim me beyond
  recognition.  That’s what I get for not doing any yoga during my
  vacation at Canyon Ranch.  Yeah, I did plenty of other healthy
  exercise type thingies, but yoga wasn’t one of them.  Actually,
  the whole Canyon Ranch experience was pretty cool, a weird cross
  between working your ass off exercising and being healthy, and doing
  that pamper-me-spa-experience.  I actually came home with all the
  usual stress knots in my shoulders gone.  Of course, they’re back
  only a week later, which is probably why my yoga instructor seemed to
  be extra evil tonight.

  I’ve got another new hobby, thanks to my summer camp stay.  I took
  a jewelry making class at Canyon Ranch and learned how to do wire
  wrapping.  Made a spiffy necklace and earring set with aquamarines
  and black pearls.  The class price included the basic tools
  required, as well as the semi-precious stones, so now I’ve got the
  tools I need to make more stuff.  I’ve found a couple of near-by
  beading supply stores, so I’ll probably drop a bunch of dough sometime
  soon.  Why aren’t any of my hobbies cheap?
