The view from my toilet….

The view from my bed….

The view from the upstairs hall….

The view from the back window….

The view from the back window (not in time to catch the WILD TURKEY!)….

The view of the sunset as I worked at my computer….

Isn’t it beautiful? Josh-O practically had to drag me by the HAIR to the country. I just have SO MUCH TO DO here. Always so much to do. But, obviously, it was worth it. I wished we could have stayed longer because it was just so beautiful. It was so mind-clearing to have SO MUCH SPACE all around me. Nothing but white, and trees, and happy, frolicking squirrels and WILD TURKEYS, and birds and, somewhere out there, coyotes….

Although…, it is quite possible that my father in law and I would have killed each other had I stayed a little longer. It’s really my fault, though. I am so irritable and flipping angry on no sleep, and anxious in general, and don’t get me started on Sarah Palin’s aerial wolf slaughter* and anti-conservation agendas because there are no good reasons for that and the whole thing makes me FURIOUS. I love wolves. I mean, LOVE wolves…. (Did anyone catch Ashley Judd and Defenders of Wildlife’s President Rodger Schlickeisen on Larry King Live this weekend? They did a really great job. Applause!)

Sigh….

To make myself feel better, I (finally) bought some new clothes today. I’m teaching so much yoga these days that I need more than ONE (ratty black) HOODIE to schlep around in, don’t you think? So, we went to Old Navy, where the perfect hoodies come out to play. I thought I was going to get another black one — since I love teaching in all-black — but I got daring. Check what I bought!

Le SPORTY….

Le PURPLE….

It’s bright! Bright purple! But, I need a little more bright in my wardrobe (and to run a BRUSH through my hair before self-photographing — no, I will never learn!)….

Of course, I also got myself another NEW black hoodie (a staple for me, really) and a couple tight-ish tees. The hoodies are TRÈS tight on me — all the more incentive to lose these last 15 pounds. Especially since my 21-day cleanse ENDS TOMORROW! Will I have the MUCH MISSED Starbucks soy no-water chai tea latte, WHICH I haven’t had in TWENTY-ONE DAYS? Or, won’t I? STAY TUNED! Please try to discourage me from ever imbibing that thing again, though?! PLEASE. Begging.

LOVE!
