I have been busy. Juggling dance and burlesque and motherhood and day job and job search and husband and lover and family and travel...it adds up. I am very happy with things on the whole. Doing even more salsa starting this Monday (three nights a week now). Deme's June was jampacked with fantastic art stuff. My June contained not one but TWO trips ( Read more... )

In the name of getting contacts (yay for being abe to see when I perform!) I went to get an eye exam yesterday. Included in this were eye drops to dilate my eyes, and then the doctor peered in with a super bright light and declared my eyes healthy. I went about my business, unable to see anything up close (my phone for instance was completely a ( Read more... )

...or rather, steals the cell phone from my sister (my only way to contact the caregiver of my children during the day), texting madly during school hours (oh, I'm sorry - oh no! she wasn't TEXTING!!! She was IMing!!!!!!111!!) until the battery died, cutting her last period class (which I found out as I arrived at the school to retrieve the phone) ( Read more... )

Informative, reflective, and possibly even interesting.

Why that did not happen as planned: crazy (cahRAYzee) visit to Elise's parents house and all the drama that that implies.

One of my favorite quotes, because she makes the excellent point that you can "jump in" no matter how much you think you have screwed up in the past. Excellent today especially as a few of my goals did not particularly get any attention yesterday, or even today for that matter. But I just jump in where I am :-) and it is all good ( Read more... )
