Ready to leave..

… or not! Today has been last last full day in New York. It’s sad but I’m also looking forward to seeing Mami & Papi and all my friends. I just cooked some bbq chicken and finished packing my bag. When I started this blog, I said to myself, that I would only post interesting stuff, like things that I have learned. Today I have learned EARMUFFS are the best thing of this season, Yoga in the morning is a winner and I still love Starbucks. Soy Chai Latte is my current favorite :)

Actually.. let me tell you about the Yoga studio I go to: Joschi’s Body Bodega! What a great place. I had set an intention for this year to incorporate sports into my every day live and to find a hobby. Well.. in the pursuit of that I had flipped through some websites trying to figure out how to establish a life here in New York. Amongst those websites there was one that displays everything German in NYC, which is where I found out about Joschi’s. The studio is run by 2 Germans, Joschi and Monika, big suprise! I started off with a beginner workshop by Joschi. I was instantly drawn in, it was great.. I always had funny conceptions about Yoga but this studio is so non-esoterical, not all airy and weired, it’s actually a tranquille place to get a work out and relax. I fell in love with it instantly. The classes are relatively small, the teachers are great, Monika always got something nice to say and Yoschi is notoriously funny. One of my favorite teachers is Meg, she has this great aura about her, her classes are balanced AND she sings at the end of them. Actually my first class after the beginner workshop was with her and I will say that she is one of the main reasons why I wanted to come back and really get into Yoga. She is teaching sunday morning classes at 10.30a and that’s where you will find me on any given sunday… ;)

ChristmasMadness

Today started pretty good. I had breakfast at IHOP with my baby. After that a snowstorm started and I was stuck with my Dunks. I love them dearly but they are definitely not waterproof and my feet were semi-fredo for the rest of the day. I finally made it down to the Financial District but my girl Jeanise was too sick for our counseling session at the SCORE center. So… I went by myself and learned a few things:

1. Do not try to argue with a lawyer!

2. Arguing with a lawyer only makes you wanna get up and leave.

3. Have a friend by your side (or conference her in) to calm down the situation.

So after Jeanise mediated between me and our counsiler, we actually had a productive meeting. See, me and my friend Jeanise are trying to start a business and have to figure out the boring stuff like which business structure to choose, what is an operating agreement etc. Well, these guys have some advice (which I can’t repeat for you guys) but its free and our lawyer cousiler had some good thoughts to add.

Once that was done I ran some errands like going to the bank, doing payroll, buy CHRISTMAS GIFTS at Century21 by Ground Zero. Its the best! You can find great stuff at a cheap price.. HUA, sounds old but it’s true.

Then went to work.. THEN.. YOGA! I been waiting on that for the entire day. New teacher named José and I was sweating my ass off. I’m debating if I’m just not strong enough or if I should keep going. KEEP GOING I SAY!
