You know what (re: Yoga practice), I never went! I completely forgot and convinced my friend to go late Sunday neighborhood window shopping with me.
I even walked past the Yoga studio (which is two blocks from my house) and forgot.
This weekend, I go. And you know what? You have full rights to call me out of I do not.
