Bending is Hard
Curious for more information, I called up the place where the class occurs. But no one picked up, so I turned on my TV and went to the sports section where they have yoga exercise videos available. The beginner one was Asana yoga and was 20 minutes long. I lasted 10 minutes. It was very intense. For example take the top picture with the guy touching his toes. At one point in the video I had to do that. Bending as hard as I could, the top of my head just barely went as low as the top of my knees. That guy's head is well below his knees. Then we had to perform what you see in the second picture. This too was insane. Notice that guy's heels are on the ground. Get up and try this. You can't appreciate this otherwise. Go on, this post isn't going anywhere.
So while I highly doubt I'll start up these classes, I have left with a far greater appreciation for yoga and the benefits it can bring. My legs are still sore today after yesterday's 10 minutes. But instead of exercising, today I found a place in town that offers monthly cooking classes. Next month they are making avocado mango chicken. I'm no avocado fan, but I think any type of cooking class is a great idea. The only problem with these classes is that they are $50. You get to cook the meal, education on how to do it by a chef, and they wine and dine you but it's still a high price. My friend says he's going to research the yoga campus offered on campus so maybe something will come of that, but for now I'll be working on sitting and eating tasty foods.

Tricky RSVPs
So I called my friend up, and being the clueless wonder he is about his own wedding he told me to call his fiance. Well I don't have his fiance's number so I sent her a message asking if I could bring a guest but not telling her it was Stacy. I then put it out of my head and went to Mass. Unfortunately after communion I had a giggling fit because the thought popped into my head, `this is why you can't have nice things like a girlfriend'. What a mess this was. During Mass my friend called, so after I got out I rang him back. He asked me who I wanted to bring as a guest. I said Stacy. That got him laughing, especially when I told him that I had asked Stacy before I found out how these types of invitations work and the fiasco this had caused. He said that he and his fiance's original plan was to invite me with the instructions to then invite Stacy. But after he heard how my date went they decided to invite me singly and have Stacy be in the choir at their wedding. That explained the miscommunication on the cell phone. Then he said that since we were both coming and Stacy agreed to be my guest that they would seat us at the same table. And all was fine.
