things i might have guessed but have now confirmed with experience

...Not having a dishwasher ain't bad. Not having a garbage disposal is a horror akin to war, pre-meditated murder, and puffy paint and/or Disney characters on clothing garments worn outside the house by humans over the age of 5.

...Really good yoga classes (not the stupid Rodney Yee yoga videos I got suckered into buying once but only used long enough to decide he says "breathe into the suppleness of your belly" too much) are LIFE CHANGING. I am en route to being hooked.

...Uber-flexible and uber-proud-of-it yoga junkies who are always in the front row so everyone can watch how good they are are really annoying. They think we are admiring them but really we are thinking, STUPID BENDY TROPHY WIFE WITH NO DAY JOB! I could do that as well as you if I had all day to relax in Downward Dog in my cushy ocean-view mansion after daily trips to the spa, the natural food store, and the mystery shop where you buy all those cute yoga outfits. BLAST!

...Being disciplined to stick to your budget and not use credit cards for unnecessary purchases is truly liberating. But it makes you want to do wacky things like clip coupons and go to the library for free books and dvd's and bring your lunch to work every day so you don't spend extra money and actually use up all of the fresh groceries you WERE allowed to buy on your debit card. Is this what you money-wise folks have been doing all along? Frickin' SPEAK UP next time.

...Homemade pesto made with garden fresh basil is GOOD.

...Making pasta for every meal for three days in a row so you have something upon which to EAT the pesto is not.

...Acknowledging the hazards of pasta overdose in writing whilst a pot of rotelle is on to boil only 2 yards away from you is heinous and unforgivable and worthy of 40 lashes. Bring it on. BRING THE PAIN!

    Yum! I'm on my way over now, for some pasta and pesto.

    Hope you have wine, too.

    It's only just begun ... :)

    I do not have a waste disposal and now I feel that I am really missing something.

    Ah, yes, the yoga people. Lauren and I used to go to a yoga class on occassion when we lived in Santa Barbara. There was always this one, VERY homosexual man in extraordinarily tight blue spandex at the front of the class. It's really embarassing when you can't help but laugh in yoga class.
