Yin and yang....Bernie and Hillary are a good match. Yin and yang. Bernie and Elizabeth Warren would be too much. I think Congress may shift from this election, though. I hope enough people see what shitshow the Republicans are right now. I couldn't make this stuff up! It's just bonko. Scary bonko.<br /><br />I tried a ballet exercise dvd that I know you would hate in the best way possible. The woman was so thin and rubbery, and her "beginner modifications" were absolutely impossible. She's clearly been doing ballet since she was a toddler, and has no concept of what a beginner might be. She spoke in the softest voice, had perfect makeup, a butt-length, perfectly smooth ponytail (that didn't look fake), and she wore a white leotard in a white room and played classical music. I kept thinking how I wished you were there to make fun of her with me. The video really was impossible. She kept putting her leg over the top of her head and calling it "a little stretch." Ridiculous.<br /><br />I think you're only an hour away. That's not too far. It feels like a long way sometimes, though. I almost never make it up there, even though I miss it a lot.Amandahttp://amandahaines.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7122471343312326996.post-15858387123741807732016-04-29T16:39:54.349-07:002016-04-29T16:39:54.349-07:00Amanda, thanks for being here! I totally agree wit...Amanda, thanks for being here! I totally agree with you about Bernie. I also love Elizabeth Warren but if he is the nominee and he chooses her for his running mate I feel like they are too similar and he needs someone who knows something about foreign affairs. They are both focused on breaking up the big banks, and maybe I have not been paying attention, but exactly what is the plan for that? Also he won't be able to do shit if Congress isn't a Democratic majority and he's not raising money for the DNC as Hillary is. I think she raised $15 million for the DNC, I might need to check that amount. <br /><br />We go to Pilates again tomorrow. It is harder than yoga but I'm not afraid of that. I just could not get into the Zen of cleaning my mind with yoga as I was supposed to. Pilates feels more athletic and not so meditative. I probably really need to learn to meditate but I don't want to. I am too Type A for yoga. But I'm sure I'll have some Pilates experiences as I continue. I hope I can keep with it. <br /><br />Just after I wrote that stuff about Alzheimer's the very next day I left a burner on again. How I did not see the light I will never know. It was on for probably two hours. I know because I had it on when I made my coffee. Now I am hyper diligent about it. But I want to record it here because it's the first time I've caught myself doing this. <br /><br />I will probably give up FAcebook before I ever give up blogging! I hope you don't either Amanda. I wish you lived closer I would want to babysit Harry! jojo cucina cucinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09801083378294299891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7122471343312326996.post-64812880575010116172016-04-26T13:53:45.559-07:002016-04-26T13:53:45.559-07:00Too much too soon with the hot weather. It was hot...Too much too soon with the hot weather. It was hotter here than in Florida those few hot days. It seriously impacts my mental health. I can't function when it's too hot. I'm glad it's cooler, but I'm so worried for summer. Last summer was brutal.<br /><br />Can't wait to read about your pilates experience. I've never been a group exerciser, but I'm not exercising at all right now and I need to get my act together. Maybe I need the commitment of group exercise? I dunno. I'm excited to hear how it goes. I miss your yoga stories.<br /><br />Politics. Ug. This year is really bumming me out. I'm not happy about the Hilary option. I love Bernie, but he's starting to sound like a broken record. I need him to talk about more than just a handful of issues. I love the guy and I really want him to be president, but I'm pretty sure that's not going to be an option. And Hilary is about as exciting as dry toast. I wish I didn't have to vote for her, but I will. Maybe she'll choose Elizabeth Warren or Alan Grayson as VP and I'll be excited again. Love them.<br /><br />I love Better Call Saul! I'm so far behind, though. I wish they staggered it with Walking Dead. I have time for one show per week. I can't manage two. And now Game of Thrones is back. I need to get caught up on Better Call Saul, though. It's such a good show and I don't know anyone else who watches it.<br /><br />I've never been a Prince fan. I just don't get it. His songs are kinda gross. Too much sex, maybe. I dunno. I'm in the minority. I was hit much harder by the deaths of David Bowie and Merle Haggard. <br /><br />Sorry to hear about your LeCreuset pan. That's a bummer. Hope it's not Alzheimers, though I heard on Doctor Radio last weekend that dementia symptoms start appearing in your 40s. Shit just falls apart, man.<br /><br />I hope you don't give up blogging entirely. Amandahttp://amandahaines.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
