for the first time in my life

I touched my toes! You know, without bending my knees!! TOUCHED MY FREAKING TOES, PEOPLE!!!
I have never been able to do this. In yoga, I'm as bendy as they come except for anything involving, you know, touching my toes. My hamstrings, they are TIGHT.
But today? I TOUCHED MY FREAKING TOES!!!

Did you tear off your top in celebration? Wait, don't answer that. I'll just asume "yes" because it leaves me with a much better image than what a response of "Hell no, creep!" will create.
Closet Metro - Yes. Of course. I mean, duh. ;)
Hooray!
So, you touched your toes while doing ::jazz hands::?
You got skillz, yo!
Excellent! Did you bend so your instructor could check out your butt?
Yay you! And keep it up, chica, because that was TOTALLY me before I started yoga and now I can almost touch my nose to my knees. YOUcanDOit!
Okay, I hear you and Ern on this toe touching thing. But it still seems like only a dream for me. If it ever happens for me it might be too much joy to handle ;)
Oh, yeah, but the image of you touching your toes is inspirational :P
Yay for You, Kelly!
Can Rob touch his toes? Just wondering.
::bowing:: for Bente.
Actually, I wouldn't be at all surprised if that's an actual yoga pose, LadyBug. Hee!
Sadly, this wasn't during yoga, mrtl. It was while I was drying my hair, at home. But I CAN'T WAIT to show my instructor! She's gonna be so proud of me!! (And surely she'll check out my ass. Like, that's a given.)
You can almost touch your nose to your knees?! Holy hell, Ern! And you used to be like me? Okay, I am totally, completely inspired now. AWESOME. Thanks!
It was a totally joyful moment, John Boy! Like, seriously, how lame is that? But it was! And if you need to picture me touching my toes, well then...so be it. Whatever does it for you. Ahem. ;)
Thanks, Amy! And no, he can't. Oooh! I found something I'm better at than Rob!! ROCK.
I am not trying to kill the spirit here...but I think touching toes without bending your knees is kinda like Algebra. You never really need to do it. But congrats. :)
Awesome. I shall now go touch a doughnut in celebration.
To amend William's thought: Touching your toes without bending your knees is like wearing a delicate, expensive perfume. Not something you need to do for YOU; but the people behind you can sure appreciate it.
And Ern, you know what we guys used to say about girls who can touch their nose to their knees? "Let's date 'em ... before they get any more limber and don't need us."
I hate being the next one in line after Nilbo - I mean, how can I top that? But anyway, good for you Kelly! Good work!
Nilbo?
(*bows to the master*)
I am SO not worth...
That being said, I am starting to understand why all those guys asked me out after that picture of me doing the splits graced the sports page of my high school newspaper...
Worthy, damn it! WORTHY!
YAY!! That is so awesome. For you bloggers out there, this is really, truly a huge thing for Kelly. I've known this wonderful specimen of a woman for about 18 years and she has been trying to do this, probably since the 2nd grade, when we first met. Kelly, I am VERY proud of you. Love you! (lyme)
William, you're just saying that because you can't touch your toes. :P
Lick it for me, will ya, ifondledoughnutz?
Nilbo, where have you been all my life? I could just pinch your ass, I love you so much.
jessica_deva, I have no doubt Nilbo wouldn't mind at all if you topped him... And thank you!
cat, I haven't seen you do a split, but I have seen your mind-blowing bendiness as displayed in the Snakin' Tutorial. And indeed, woman, it is HOT. Like, I would totally marry you if I could.
Doreen! I knew you'd be very proud of me! I mean, do you remember me trying to do the V-Sit and Reach? Of course you do. I got negative numbers every frickin' time! And there you were with your damn +6. Sheesh. YAY, I TOUCHED MY TOES!!!
toooOOOOOOOOOeeeeez!!!
Everyday I am just grateful to be able to see my toes when I'm standing erect. However, I do have the good fortune of being able to touch them and my nose to my knees. I have been bendy in the most amazing ways...(provoking thoughts as to why I never needed a girlfriend. OH! MY! GOD!) I gotta go, go to work, ya, bye.
::giggling::
Greenie said "erect."
Heeheehee.
Congrats!!! That is an amazing milestone. I am so like you in that even as a little kid I couldn't touch my toes after years of gymnastics and ballet. Just not flexible. Then I got into yoga and not only did I start to touch my toes but was able to lay my hands flat on the floor! That was epic!
This is just so exciting. I can't wait to get to that toe touching place again...
Smooches to rose. :)
OMG, greenie! There is SO MUCH I could say right now, but I'm going to leave it alone. All of it. Oh, lordy, you are too much, my friend. Too much!
::snickering:: I know, LadyBug! Heehee!
Dang, Kranki, that is epic! I'm seriously impressed. Best of luck as you wipe the dust off your yoga mat. ;)
