Dance of the Sugar Plum Ferrets

The children were nestled all snug in their beds

While visions of sugarplums danced in their heads.

    Well-DONE, whoever realized the ferrets/ fairies similarity. That never occurred to
    MY scrambled brain ….. )

    Further evidence that ferrets come shipped with the lable, “*bones not included.”

      Here I am thinking about my fitness goals for the coming year, one of them being regaining hamstring flexibility so I can ‘kiss the toe’ in forward bend. These guys can kiss the toe in a back bend, in their sleep, without any practice! Life is so unfair.

        I know a 96-year-old woman who’s so flexible she can lie flat on her back, and without even lifting her head, can lift her legs up and over and put her feet on the floor behind her head.

        I watched her do this and my jaw dropped open and she said, “I’ve been doing yoga every day for 82 years. It’s not that impressive.”

      They actually come shipped in donut shape. You have to unpack them and let them relax for 5-6 hours before you actually use them, like tempurpedic mattresses.
