What do you do when you have a lot of free time? Hang out with your friends. And go on adventures.
Last night, I was in for a serious adventure. One more adventurous and challenging than I was expecting. Two words: Real. Yoga.
Now, that may sound silly, right? What do I mean by “real yoga?” I mean, not that stuff they do at the Y or at the Campus Rec at my school or what you see on DVDs. No.
This yoga entails sweat dripping off your nose and your hands slipping off your mat and your legs screaming in pain and your elbows shaking uncontrollably. But in the best.way.ever. I was smitten. Totally in love. The instructor actually walked around and briefly massaged my lower back. Uh. Yess.
What do you do when you have a lot of clementines? I mean, a bazillion clementines. That whole “eyes bigger than your stomach” thing? Yeah. I had that when I bought this gigantic bag of clementines. I ate about 8 over the course of a week or so and then had no idea what to do with the other 15.
Hence. Muffins.
