Um.... it is a good thing I didn't read this BEFORE I tried yoga for the first time! Hahahaha! There weren't any "heavy" breathers in this class...
I get the whole pants thing now, too. I wore the tight pants that hit just below the knee... and I was totally slipping on the tripod, balance the knees on the triceps move -- which I will, hopefully, get better at!!
So -- yoga. Okay... I'm in!

Spoke Too Soon....
So if you read yesterday's post, you'll know why today's C2 yoga class was incredibly disappointing. Sigh. As far as I can tell, four things went awry: 1. I tried out my new yoga shorts for the first time. They're cute and slim (but not tight) and hit at right about my knee. I figured that havi...
I LOVE Riley!!!!! And -- what a wonderful lunch it was at NoRTH ~ That place warrants several return visits!
Love you!

Day 1.
So on this, Day 1, of my new (and improved) life, I got up at 7:00am, checked my email, ate some cereal, and did a teensy bit 'o work on my dissertation (in fact, I created my completion plan calendar). I'm trying to establish a 'normal' routine so that I don't get into my old 'Summer Tina' habi...
Oh, what a glorious feeling!!

Last. Class. Everrrrrrrr.
And done. I am home from class and I am smiling. I have officially completed all of my coursework for my Doctoral Program. I didn't think this day would ever come. Wanna know what I had to do to get here? Probably not, but here goes anyway... 90 hours of classes in introductory, intermediate, ...
A very proud Aunt Tina -- and rightly so!! What a fantastic celebration! Congratulations to the graduate and her family!!

She's a Middle-Schooler!
How proud am I of my niece, McKenna? So. Stinkin'. Proud. Today Ms. McKenna 'graduated' from elementary school... where she's been for seven years and where she's grown from a teeny tiny little kindie to a tall, beautiful, brilliant sixth grader. Seems like just yesterday when we were attendi...
Beautiful...

Miss B.
When you get a text from your sister informing you that your littlest niece is presenting her book today at school, you go. And you're so glad you did because you get this: Bailey and her book--"This I Believe." Here's a sampling of my favorite pages: And here's the picture to go along with ...
I vote for the pink ones... totally you.

Rain, Rain, Go Away.
I snuck out around lunchtime to run a quick errand and got completely and totally caught in a rainstorm. Again. We've had more rain here in Colorado than we've had snow the entire winter, I swear! (Ok, I don't know if that's actually true but... it feels like it!) So anyway... all this rain is m...
This is the quote I was trying to remember today (as you can see, I need to start working on the 'commit to memory' thing, too!):
“It is important that students bring a certain ragamuffin, barefoot, irreverence to their studies; they are not here to worship what is known, but to question it.”
-Jacob Chanowski
This evokes such hope in me... that we really are interested in the providing opportunities for kids to question, discover, create...

I'm a Quote Girl.
I love a good quote. Whether I steal it from an advertisement, a book, or someone's mouth, I devour carefully placed words that somehow capture what's either in my heart or my mind or my soul. But I can never remember them to repeat to someone else. Don't get me wrong, I try. I remember a few ke...
This will be my next read... thank you for adding it to my library.

The Happiness Project.
My beautiful friend Jessi is my own personal book-recommender... Over many, many, many years, Jessi has recommended numerous books to me and she has never-NEVER-let me down. Ever. I am so grateful for her. I don't have a lot of time to read books for pleasure these days and so it takes me a looo...
Quite simply: Beautiful.

Mom.
After tossing and turning for most of the night last night, unable to shut off my brain, I awoke at 8:00 this morning and called my mom to wish her a happy day. I tried to keep my cool and ask her about her plans for the day, etc., etc., but as soon as I heard her voice, I burst into tears and s...
Oh, Tina! Bless you and your amazing sense of humor, outlook and just for being you. I love you! I can actually hear you telling all of these stories, you know. Love it! What I love most is that you are starting to (starting. to.) feel better!!!!

15 Minutes of (cough) Fame (cough). Gone.
So I made it to work today. In an ideal world, I would have taken one more day to fully recover, but this is not an ideal world and I HAD to be at work today. There was no option. See, a film crew was set to be at our office to film the content for two master's level courses and they needed me. ...
I absolutely buy expensive jeans... All the time... Almost exclusively. It could ALMOST be called an addiction - but that's such an ugly word. Paige, 7 For All Mankind, AG, Citizens of Humanity, Cookie Johnson, David Kahn, Elie Tahari, TAG+,... love them. Love.
They last longer, fit better, and are loooonnnngggg enough (this could ALMOST be called an obsession, but that, too, is such an ugly word).
Yes. You deserve them. Wear them proudly with that extra little bounce in your step!

True Religion.
Ok, I have a secret to spill. I am wearing--right now--the most expensive jeans I've ever bought. Even on sale. Half-price. From Nordstrom's Rack. As many of you know, I am a Gap jeans kind of gal. However, I stopped in at Nordstrom's Rack the other day to pick up a $16 cardigan and saw a rack ...
Beautifully written. I will watch, and listen, and learn.
Thank you.

13 Families.
I was part of something incredible this evening. I attended the premiere of the documentary 13 Families: Life After Columbine. To me, like so many of my friends, April 20, 1999 was a defining moment in my life. I was in a new state (Colorado), starting a new career (teaching), and Columbine ro...
