Yoga is the art of trying to become a pretzel. Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is, in my case, having someone actually make me into a pretzel.

My execution for both is pretty similar. Lots of unvoluntary noises (grunts and today I almost shrieked) and not listening to my body.

I just have to say that I laugh so hard every time I read your blog! Thanks for the laughs. Now, I would love to see you bend in to a pretzel, that would really make my day!!

I second Kelli, you are just too funny! The art of becoming a pretzel, I'm going to have to borrow that quote sometime!

You are right about not listening to the body- it says- NO WAY DUMBO!! I get into tons of trouble in yoga- we should go to class together some time ;)

:) I'm glad you guys enjoy me being silly. I sure do.

Marion,

One day I hope I can take you up on that. We will run and do enough yoga to justify eating totchos.

David is seriously trying to figure out where to market the Tot-Chos! They aren't that great, but the name just cracks him up!

What are tot-chos???

From marion on Tue, Nov 11, 2008 at 15:27:42

One night I needed to fix dinner and I had no idea what to fix, as usuual. I had a bag of tater tots, which we LOVE- pure white trash! ;) So I baked them super crispy and then sprinked ground beef, beans and cheese on them. Popped them back into the oven to melt the cheese. I diced up tomatoes, avocados, lettuce, sour cream, salsa, etc and VOILA- Tot-chos! They were surprisingly delicious. Pure red-neck white trash gourmet!!

I just noticed all your shoes up there - you're delirious!

Marion,

You invented tot-chos? I am honored to know you.

Years from know when there's a tot-cho joint in all the abandoned starbucks, I can say I know you.

Lucia,

You're free to type anything you want in there! I could list my different running undies if I wanted. The land of the free is great indeed.

From marion on Tue, Nov 11, 2008 at 15:48:37

I am pretty sure the best thing about them is the clever name ;)

you know Mike- with your shoes up there- good ideas evolve as well as do good jokes. Humm- what to keep track of?

From montelepsy on Tue, Nov 11, 2008 at 15:56:31

At work, we have so many trackers. It's a running joke. But it has rubbed off on my private life, I actually developed a workout tracker. I can tell you how many pullups I did in Sep.

As far as tot-chos are concerned, I haven't actually tasted them, but I have imagined it. And they are amazing. I think you're on to something.

From Lucia on Tue, Nov 11, 2008 at 16:03:25

I think I know what's the first thing I'm going to eat once my metals are out... Vegetarian tot-chos!!!

From marion on Tue, Nov 11, 2008 at 16:04:43

We could open the "Ultimate White Trash Diner" Tot-Chos could be our signature meal along with fried pickles and twinkies! I've never tried the twinkies but the deep fried pickles are AWESOME!!!

From marion on Tue, Nov 11, 2008 at 16:06:46

the only reason the ground beef was on, it because I get craving it about ever 3-4 weeks. I think I get low on something that only some juicy hamberger with salt can cure. It's like cowbell really!

Lucia,

It will be great when you'll be able to eat real food again. I almost envy you for being deprived and then getting that first bite. I bet it will be awesome.

It will also be awesome to brush your teeth again, too.

Marion,

You had a fe-vah! And the only prescription was more cowbell (minus the bell).

I used to go to a burger place and they had a burger for every letter of the alphabet. We could use the same concept with our diner. We just need 25 more entrees.

The Totcho pickle twinkie combo can be named the Gold-plated diamond platter.

Rachel and I took the girls a local fair and where they had deep-fried everything. Twinkies, pickles, even Coke. They mixed Coke into some batter and fried it. We all split a twinkie. It tasted like a fried twinkie and clogged our arteries to boot.

If you're ever in the Richmond area, there's a little shop that makes deep-fried Oreos... soooo good!!!
