What a beautiful day today! WHY THE HECK AM I INSIDE WORKING!?! Must change this ASAP!
After breakfast, I got my yoga on at Dancing Crow Yoga. I hadn’t taken a yoga class all week, so I had a serious craving for it this morning. My whole body felt tight.
I did a 75-minute Vinyasa class, which ended with me doing my first ever Crow poseāā and it was awesome!! I felt so strong doing it!
During class, we also did a great hip stretch called Fire Log Pose. It stretched everything in my ever-tight legs. I thought I’d pass it along for the runners out there. It hurts so good, baby!
After lunch, I went to buy a new case for my iPhone since I don’t take care of my things and broke mine a few days ago. Actually, I think the case just sucked. I only had it for a couple of months and it broke in three different places.
My new case is bright and colorful (so I can find it in my bottomless purse)!
And within an hour of purchasing my new iPhone case, I dropped it in the driveway of my house. Awesome.
I am such a klutz.
Lunch
For lunch, I stopped by b.good for some French fries. I found a random coupon in my wallet for a free order, so I cashed in it today.
Fact: Free French fries taste better than the ones you pay for.
Lunch also included some Ramen ānoodles.āĀ
A cookie from Starbucks and/or an iced coffee from Marylou’s is also on the agenda for this afternoon. It’s Cookie Friday after all!

Aaah it is my yoga-dream to do crow pose! When I can, I know I’ll have made it š
Have a great afternoon!
I love your “ramen” noodle substitution. I actually have a spaghetti squash in my fridge right now and I know exactly what I’ll do with it! š Don’t worry about the iphone case. You should see what my little camera looks like!
I’m a giant klutz as well.
It’s okay… I like to think it is endearing. š

I drop mine all the time so don’t feel bad :)…My case is all banged and scratched up! I figure better to break the case than the phone so it’s a good investment š Haha!
Soak in some rays for me while I am stuck in my cube. Happy Friday!!
Oh sad! I hope it isn’t too hurt by the drop!
And congrats on crow’s pose-that rocks. It feels amazing to “get stronger” š Props to you, girl!
Fact: I have dropped and broken 2 cameras. One of which was right before my wedding and honeymoon in Europe.
I’m a big klutz too, but I seem to be having strangely good luck with my iPhone these days!! I love your new case – it’s so spring-y! Congratulations on the crow pose too, that’s a major achievement if you ask me! I’m going to check out the Fire Log Pose because I’ve got super tight legs as well. My favourite one is the pigeon though, because between running and teaching spin, my hip flexors get SO tight!
That pose is the reason I’m scared to try yoga!
I want to be able to do crow pose so bad! It would probably helped if I practiced yoga more than once a week. I’m having a serious french fry craving after reading your post!
Thank god you had a case on your iphone! My 6 week old brand new iphone was stolen out of my purse last week. I had to buy a new one….6 weeks later. WHAT an awful ordeal. But it’s my phone, I had to have one and there was no choice really….going back to a blackberry wasnt going to happen š
1st time I did crow…my world changed.
CONGRATS!!!
I feel like I’m strong enough for crow pose, but my hamstrings won’t let me get into position to push off – it’s so frustrating. Yoga is still amazing though. Love it.
Ah, fire leg pose is such a great hip opener. Hurts so good after a long run!
I love that case! Very cute : )
I don’t know many yoga poses but I do like crow — mostly because I feel so strong after doing it!
My husband always says I shouldn’t get a nicer phone because I would just ruin it within 15 minutes. I hate to admit that he would be right. I’m as klutzy as you are!
I love conquering a pose in yoga! It feels great! I have sensitive knees but the other day I was able to balance on it and stretch it nicely. I suck and don’t know the name of the pose…and can’t find it anywhere either! Sorry!
I have THE world’s tightest hips from running, and I just learned about fire log pose the other week. I love it but am embarrassed that my legs are no where near parallel to the ground. . . pretty sure all I can do if form a 90* angle with my legs!
Where did you get that adorable case?! I’m in the market for a new one myself, I’m a klutz too — dropped mine down my apartment stairs, luckily it was just the case that broke š
I agree, free stuff definitely tastes better. Free starbucks coffee is WAY better! š
I’m going to have to try that yoga stretch for runners. My legs can get pretty tight too.
I drop my phone all the time! Good thing it’s so far pretty resilient.
So jealous of the yoga class! If only it wasn’t so expensive out here… š
Love yoga…need to get my yoga on more often!
I am so bad at dropping things and walking into walls! That’s why you needed the case to begin with. Have a great afternoon and enjoy the sunshine!
I love any kind of hip stretches/poses. I don’t do very much yoga, but I’ll often bust out a swan pose when my hip flexors are feeling tight after a workout.
I’m in the same boat. I’m such a spaz and a klutz. I’m constantly breaking things and running into stuff.
Doing crow is definitely momentous! I felt so good when I finally mastered it
I am such a klutz too – I don’t know how my phone is still functioning after I dropped it so many times!
i agree – free food DOES taste better!
Crow pose is my favorite! I felt so strong the first time I accomplished it, too!
SUCH a gorgeous day today! Glad you got to enjoy it!
Ha, you basically lived my life today! That’s my studio (I’m usually in that class), I have that iPhone case and I love b.good after yoga!
Check out the work shops at Dancing Crow, they are having an awesome flowy hip opening one soon!
haha I’m bad about dropping my phone as well… and at leaving my phone in places where I can’t find it. My boyfriend claims that my phone and I have a dysfunctional relationship.
I’ve been trying to get into crow! It is HARD! I managed it for about one second last night and I felt so accomplished!
An Otterbox case is a must have for a klutz with an iphone! I’ve dropped mine while running, knocked it off the kitchen counter, and sloshed it through a puddle of water…the Otterbox saved it every time! š
Free food is ALWAYS tastes so amazing! I’m a sucker for coupons and free things. I’m a klutz too, never fear. I actually can’t wear watches anymore because I swing my arms every time I pass through a doorway and crack the watches. Terrible!
š
I just did my first Fire Log Pose tonight at Yoga…Felt so good!
congrats on getting into crow! It’s a very empowering pose, for sure š
such a good idea to get a colorful case so you can find your phone! I need to get one just like it because I can never find mine!
mmm cookies, I think free cookies is an even better idea! š
Have a great Friday and weekend! š
I’m always dropping my phone too! I’m surprised it still works. š
Your case is so cute! free food DOES taste better (and tastes especially yummy after doing something klutzy š )
This is my fear about getting an iPhone! I drop my Blackberry 10 times a day. It doesn’t look so pretty anymore, but it works like a champ. When Verizon announced it was offering the iPhone, I actually made a deal with myself — I could get one if I proved to myself that I could go ONE day without dropping my BBerry. Almost 3 months later, still waiting!
I’m glad that there are iPhone cases out there that can take a beating. As long as the phone still works, I’ll be happy (your new case is super cute!).
I broke the case on my phone right after I got it too! I have a droid, so the front half doesn’t have a cover, but the back does š
Congrats on the crow! The first time I did it I was super excited too! Haven’t tried doing it in awhile…I’m probably “out of practice.” š
I am aka “Calamity Chrissy”
All free food tastes better than it’s equivalent, for sure š
Wowie that cow pose looks great- I so want to reach that level soon! Is it bad that the part about dropping your phone made me laugh ;)! We all have an inner clutz that’s dying to be released!
Ah, I hate when things like that happen–you get something brand new and poof–something happens to it before you can enjoy it. Usually for me, I’ll spill on a brand new shirt the first day that I wear it. Oh well, life goes on!
Haha, I’m a klutz, too. Especially around that time of the month. TMI? Well, it’s true. My husband can always tell. I start running into things and dropping stuff – like KNIVES!! Eek.
Crow pose! thats awesome, the two times ive attempted that in hot yoga ive ended up on my head to front somersault…
