Yin: All American boys at an All American game.

Yang: Chili-cheese goop on a certain youngster’s shoe. Now how did he manage that?

Yin: Garlic fries at the baseball game. Don’t tell the carbohydrates police.

Yang: Finding a sweaty piece of minced garlic lodged beneath my left boob, having survived the game, a night of sleep, and half the morning. Ewwwww.

Yin: A sandbox for a cyclone boy. He loves that thing!

Yang: The new neighbors have a cat. Apparently. In spite of our fully fenced yard, said cat has discovered the nirvana of litter boxes. Hello toxoplasmosis. Now Gadget has to dispose of ALL the sand, douse the box with scalding water (bleach and chemicals supposedly don’t work), build an ingenious lid mechanism, and refill the box. Meanwhile, we have to keep Cyclone away from it, and sanitize all the toys. Oh joy.

Yin: A double strength latte, first thing on a Sunday morning, made with fully caffeinated beans and half&half cream. Divine decadence.

Yang: The espresso factory requires no trivial amount of cleanup, what with loose grounds sprinkling the counter (bench, as the Aussie’s say), milk froth stuck to the steaming wand, and a hot puck of compacted espresso grounds in need of a good home. Still, totally worth it.

Yin: Spring in all its glory.

Yang: Allergies. Weeds.

I thought yin and yang was about male and female, as well as dark and light? Hope you haven’t charged all the bad stuff to our side of the circle-fish! Our neighbourhood cats come and poo in our yard too, don’t even bury it like proper cats. It is very annoying when you have a couple of boys running around not looking where they’re going.

Sometimes one of the best things about being pregnant is not having to clean up any cat poo!

All I can say is – it is not worth thinking about if life was all about yang – and there was no yin!

Cause then you would really be in the poo!

SG, you’re probably right. I was just thinking in terms of opposites. The good, the bad. That sort of thing.

Good point, Mary!!!
