Giggles and thuds...

I fell during yoga practice during a giggle fit - *twice*. You're probably surprised that I said the words, "yoga" and "practice" in relation to myself, given my penchant for sarcastic little smartypants comments, but if a blog can't help me put my inherent snarkiness and the things that cheese me off to humorous use....nevermind. Let's not expound.

I fell during yoga practice during a giggle fit - *twice*. Why? Didgeridoo boy. There I was, on my mat in my foyer yoga space, in a side-bending variation of Tree, focused down the hall and at a point right over Didge's head, when he looked directly at me with the most serious expression...

...and delivered a lengthy, sing-song belch. *Yeah*. You can probably imagine.

And so the wobbling began, but I held it on one side, then switched to the other. The longer I stayed, the more I wanted to giggle. I toppled, catching myself on a wall, and pushing myself back up and into the asana. That I did that made me laugh even more. A few asanas later, I found myself in a low lunge, breathing, glad to be grounding into something not as wobbly. And I got the giggles again.

Over I went, so suddenly and so determined to maintain my balance that I held perfect form just about all the way to the floor. I fell when I tried to get up. Didge asked me what my problem was, Totsi the Dog stood about eight feet away looking alarmed, and I just rolled the hell around on my mat trying to right myself. Arms and legs flailing, laughing so hard I was crying, I finally made my way to my hands and knees and back into the pose. And I made it through it, still snickering.

By the time I made it to final relaxation, I had a good case of the sillies. The thought of being in a yoga class and having someone a few mats over pass gas came to me, which set me off again - can you imagine? If Didge's belch set me off so much? They'd have to give me a shot of some sort and some oxygen to settle me down, a thought which only served to set me off even further. Good thing I was already on the floor for that one.

And now I have the giggles again. Enjoy your Wednesday!
