just doing some potting.

i can't decide if this one is happy or sad.  i love it either way.

it's a long weekend.  it feels like a mini-vacation.  even though i'm staying home.  and packing.  and studying.  it just has a nice feeling, i guess.

i finally repotted a bunch of my plants.  i have been meaning to repot my jade since last summer.  i even had the pot that it was going to go into.  

i also took my orchids out of their pots, and cut off the old roots, and took out the moss of one (apparently it suffocates orchids...), and put them back in their pots.  and after, i watched some youtubes on how to repot orchids.  turns out, i will be re-repotting my orchids.  and buying special orchid soil.  which is not soil at all, but wood and charcoal, mostly.  they apparently like to have a lot of space to "breathe."  no wonder they haven't flowered in years!

oni likes to do potting too.  but she doesn't save plants.  she kills them.

here is how oni does potting:

new goal!

yesterday i started my 60 days of yoga goal.  since i've started doing bikram, my goal has been to do the "60 day challenge".  but there were breaks where i left and people came to visit.  there were class schedules that seemed to change every week.  there was a certain lack of motivation all around.

and i guess some of that is still going on.  but i decided that i'm going to do it anyways.

and now i'm super excited about it!  even though today was super duper hard and i am very sore (i know.  who gets sore from yoga?)

the tricky part is to work things out so that i can keep running.  which means 2-a-days.  which will be hard.  but my running muscles are just coming in, which is pretty good motivation.

2 down, 58 to go!!


also, for the record, i've lost 2 pounds since a billion years ago when i decided to start getting into super shape again!  yay!
