12/12: A teepee and a wigwam

Hi Friends:

 

Are you two "tents"? Get it? Hee hee hee.

 

Since it's the holiday season, I've been spending a lot of time eating. And a lot of time standing in line: at stores, at the post office, waiting to tell Santa what I want, etc. I get grouchy. My shoulders and back hurts. My legs get numb. Maybe you get this too (or maybe you plan ahead and do all your Xmas shopping before the malls get crowded--say, September).

 

If you find yourself feeling tense while in line, here are a couple of stretches you can do while you wait for the woman at the front of the line redeem $300 worth of coupons:
