weekend recap

So I just posted a blog 2 min ago, but it left me feeling unsatisfied.  It didn't say all that I wanted it to say and I am only leaving it up, because I think that this post will probably also miss out on a few points that I possibly made in the previous post. 

I have mixed feelings about this weekend.  It started out pretty good when I went to Melissa's birthday party on Friday night and had a good time!  Then Saturday morning I woke up and went to my yoga class.  I've been going to this class since the semester started, and I love it.  Going to yoga regularly has been amazing.  I am really starting to get back into the swig of things and this class energizes me for the weekend.  I am starting to remember why I used to love going to yoga and it is helping me to focus on the more spiritual aspects of my life.  Sometimes, not really being a particularly religious person, I feel like I don't really know how express my more creative side, but going to yoga really opens up a whole new/more interesting part of my life.  I also love how the instructor really emphasizes "honoring your practice" and "honoring yourself".  It helps remind me to value the good parts of my life, and to appreciate the person that I am.  

After yoga I went home and made the most amazing chicken salad sandwich ever ... I am obsessed with chicken salad especially when I put grapes and cashews in it :).  After that I headed over to the bean cycle to get some work done, and I was amazingly productive.  At this point of my weekend, I thought ... nothing could really go wrong and I was going to have the best weekend ever, ... but then I went to softball practice.  

Practice was really not the greatest, and it reminded me of why I quit playing at the age of 13 (when I had only started playing when i was 12).  To start, I was trying to break in my new glove ... and I couldn't catch the ball if my life depended on it.  Then about 15 min into the practice I got hit with a line drive right on my kneecap.  I really really had to fight the urge to cry and throw up, lay down on the ground and give up immediately, but I "manned up" and finished out the practice.  And let me tell you ... I felt like crap.  I couldn't catch anything, and Jim (the nice guy he is) kept trying to give me pointers/help me out, but mostly I just felt really really bad every time a ball went past me and I just wanted to go home and cry ... which is exactly what I did.  After biking home, I walked into the door, walked up to my roommates room and FELL APART.  So of course to make myself feel better ... I went to McDonalds.... a not so good move when you are trying to loose a little bit of weight :).

Fortunately, Saturday night ended up being pretty good and it turned my weekend back around.  I went over to Katie's house for a "girls night" of laughing and drinking.  We talked about the most random things like porn, climbing, crushes...and a few girls even dressed up in hot denim one-piece outfits that I will post as soon as I get my camera back.

And this morning I woke up a little beaten and brused, but emotionally in a pretty good mood.  I made another chicken salad sandwhich and headed to a coffee shop to do work.  And to finish out this somewat weird weekend I plan on going to a relaxation yoga class that Anna has been trying to get me to go to for a while.  My knee is pretty sore so I might just end up doing "child's pose" for half the class, but hopefully It will be restorative and I'll be ready to tackle yet another hectic week :)
