Shut down

oh boy, I am sitting here at my desk in disbelief that I am preparing my time sheet in advance for a government shutdown.

I don't know about you or what side your on but the hill is full of so much hot air all the way around its like a turbine that it blows my mind out through my ears.
 These are our finest leaders that we have elected into office? They can not compromise...they can not find a way...
.  I have a hole in my heart, it saddens me to realize how out of touch our politicians are...

Whats worse is all of us ---providing a service to the American people will have to make the ultimate sacrifice.

Summer is over...say what!!??

Pack it up, pack it in...those flip flops, white dresses and bathing suits are going into hibernation.  Its a sad day but it has truly been a summer of fun!

There were many firsts, loads of swimming, a trip to Florida, New York City...and great weather!

For the first time in my life I jumped off a diving board. Yup, living in Florida for a large portion of my younger years I never did this!  Of course it was dramatic...I ended up pulling my calf muscle again.  It did not tear but it took a week to right itself!  oh the consequences of having fun!

I began yoga at Yoga in Daily Life, Alexandria--and am still going strong in my 14th + week!
I am not quite enlightened but I am definitely more limber and relaxed.  I find myself taking deep yoga breaths frequently.  Especially since I am a non smoker, its an entire year...quit smoking and take deeper breaths!

We also discovered the Old Town Pool and were riding our folding bikes to the pool and swimming laps.
  


Well one of us was swimming and one of us was bathing...I will let you try to determine who dunnit!

Then there was the sea urchin...UNI--deliciousness!
our first taste at Kumo in Northern Virginia and we just could not get enough.  Yum





Good bye summer-- we will miss you!
