I can touch my toes!
Ok, so it's not really a huge achievement but I have never really been able to touch my toes. I used to be able to do the splits, lay on my stomach and put my feet up over my head, etc. but not just stand up straight and touch my toes. I've been practicing since Amanda took us to circus class last week but still wasn't really getting there. Tonight, I got to where I could touch my toes while sitting down but not standing up. O_o I asked Matt on the weekend since he is all yoga guru now (lolwtf) and he said it's all in the pelvis. Um...k. I tried more but it still wasn't working, probably because I had no idea what I was supposed to be doing differently. I was still about 4" away from my toes (if you try it while holding a ruler, it's easy to check) so I used my Googlefu and found this exercise to try. Seemed to support what Matt was saying. I was a bit skeptical at first but, by the second set of toe touches, I was like omg this might work. Finished the exercise, bent down and...I CAN TOUCH MY TOES!!! Srsly, I went from 4" away to touching my toes in about 60 seconds. I think I get all that stuff about locks now. The difference is really in how I squeeze my muscles. Not squeezing, my knees are hyperextended and I'm still 4" away. Squeezing, my knees come back to being straight and I'm there. Crazy! I am so proud! Now I work on splits. YATTA! ^_____^ (Why am I doing this? Partly just to say I did it and partly because I figure the more flexible I am, the less likely I am to injure myself doing sports.)

CreativFestival & Cooking
I love the CreativFestival! It happens twice a year and is a great chance to shop for crafty supplies and take all kinds of little classes. It was also one of the first things I did upon arriving in Toronto. Reviews from past years can be found here
