I have been taking a bellydance class at A2Yoga. I took it partly because I simply cannot figure out the shimmy we sometimes do in Nia. When I looked at what I had going, and what my Nia teacher had going, I knew there were entire muscle groups I wasn’t using or I wasn’t relaxing, or something. I heard that the bellydance teacher could break it down for me.

I also took bellydance because it was completely overbooked the first two sessions, and because of the way the students clinked, ultra-femininely through the hall on their way to class with a scarf tied with metal coins around their hips.

Definition of a lazy person’s load: carrying too much at once to avoid the second trip.

Beast of Burden, originally uploaded by Roger Smith.

I heard this phrase from a former coworker, Susan, I think she attributed it to her mom. Wise woman. Years later, I still repeat it to myself as a caution. I notice I often try to “lazy load” stacking and carrying too many things at once. A teetering pile of stuff might, now and then, make it to its destination, but, more often than not, I will drop something and then need more time to rearrange, fix, whatever, to make up for trying to overload.
