That's right...and I DIDN'T fall down! And I remembered ALL the choreography! Woohoo!! It actually was pretty fun and not as nervewracking as the first time Nic and I danced the Guild show. Don't know if that's because we had more people in our group (as opposed to a duet) or because I was more… Continue reading It’s done!

It's Horse Expo weekend. It's also the weekend my parents are making the final move to Los Angeles and the weekend Nic and I are in the Guild of Oriental Dance annual show. Yeah. I'm not really ready for any of the above, to be honest.Bellydance was not my usual positive-body-image class last night, for… Continue reading Vacation!

Yeah. that's really all I can say. Thank any and all deities that I might actually be able to catch up on my sleep this weekend.Only one more week until the Guild show. I get sick just thinking about it...I'm SO NOT READY.

So it appears the Bob Job is real...it pays sorta decently and he's getting fingerprinted at the airport tomorrow...to start Thursday. This is still a temporary fix to an ongoing issue though, because I know running a forklift and a floor polisher won't be sufficient for him in the long run. But in the meantime,… Continue reading Almost Hopeful?

So. A good friend called today to say she got the job: the uber job at the Strib that will 1) make her significantly more moola and 2) allow them to move from Hopkins (1/2 hour away in good traffic) to Eagan (10 minutes away and closer to her fiancee's job and kids). WOOHOO and… Continue reading I am NOT Excited

My keyboard is acting all wonky today. Not sure why...is it sausage-finger syndrome, or is there actually an issue?I have a $9 late fee at the library. Oops...the whole point of going to the library is to keep my book addiction costs down! I suppose it didn't help that I picked up 6 more last… Continue reading Random Wednesday Thoughts
