Gymnasty

One of my new goals is to be able to do a split. I can get closer to the ground than this, but it's impossible to photograph without pulling my groin.

To train myself, I wash dishes with one leg up next to me on the sink. It makes me feel sexier as I scratch my drool and crusty yogurt off plates.




I have also started hula hooping using some instructional YouTube videos. At first I was skeptical about YouTube as a teacher, but it taught me how to do the breast stroke last summer, and now I can "hoop" around my waste and around my hand like a lasso, as depicted in this money shot below.





I have decapitated a plant and chipped a lamp from mess-ups. It goes great with a glass or two of wine.

doing a split has been my lifelong goal ever since i was five. and i STILL CAN'T DO IT. if nothing else makes me feel like a failure, it's that.

i like the idea of practicing while doing dishes, though. i can turn something i despise into something productive.

i wish you the best of luck with your flexibility. do let us all know when you've attained perfection, please. clearly, i need the encouragement.
