September is Yoga Month

This was supposed to be me!

And while I want to give a rave review of how amazing it has been to use my free week of yoga card, I cannot. I went to The Yoga Tree on Valencia in SF two weeks ago to redeem my card, and the uber-zen guy sitting in the lotus position in a computer chair behind the front desk, decided to inform me that it didn't work. What the hell?

I got a bit upset, but everyone in the studio was so yoga-y and relaxed that I felt like a total beeze getting agitated, so I just went out to eat at an Ethiopian restaurant instead.

I ended up emailing the Yoga Month people and have received no response. Basically, this is just a post of me complaining that I can't afford a yoga studio membership. It makes me really sad.

For now, I will continue doing plank, downward-dog, and swan in my bedroom in the mornings. In the future, I'd like to say that I am practicing on my own, but for now, I will remain bitter until Yoga Month ends. I hope someone else got to enjoy their free week though!

[Things We Adore Sunday]

1. My Milk Toof. Nothing else exists to me at the present moment.

I MUST own the book.

2. Banana Cream Pie. I'm workin' hard to perfect it myself. May never get to Tartine levels, but I can try so many times that everyone I know and love is sick of taste-testing my prototypes.

3. Yoga. It saved me last week as the stress mounted.

4. Gay Pride Week all over the world, and especially in San Francisco. This city is always open and fun, but this weekend has special significance. I had a great time celebrating openness and equality!

Okay, now back to dealing with the stress in concrete ways, like by making a cake.
