CONGRATS!!!! I don't even think I've ever tried to do a handstand, I do shoulderstands all the time, but not handstands. I think that deserves ice cream of some sort.

Oh wait.

I just did a little jig for you in my room!

Thanks! Shoulderstands are totally made of win and balance. And yay, jigs! Tomorrow, when I am supposed to be applying for jobs, I will also dance!

We so should! If we're both in the same place over the summer, Polly yoga is making a comeback.

Polly yoga? (I loved Polly Pocket, but she is no longer pocketable). And what's angry yoga?

Polly yoga is something Sam and I invented when we wanted to do yoga in her attic, which also contained lots of Polly Pockets. Angry yoga is the kind where you get pushed really hard and instead of being relaxing and about Inner Peace, it's about pushing your body to new limits.

Er, in Tamora Pierce terms, instead of doing the sitting-and-putting-your-magic-into-a-nail-or-whatever meditation, it's meditating while trying to hit people with sticks. It can be useful, but it kind of leaves you totally spent. And generally needing either parfait or a cheeseburger or both, in my case.

Eeee, cartwheels! If I were taking a dance class right now? There would SO be cartwheels.

Shoulderstands are like this! You can also put your arms out to the side and balance that way, and then pull your feet all the way down to the floor above your head. Fun, and easier than it sounds!
