I’ve been really sick for the past 10 days or so. A good percentage of my office mates have had the current plague (sinus infection or kidney stones seems like) since Thanksgiving. I came down with the sinus infection stuff a week and a half ago. It culiminated on a drive back from picking up…
The party was fun. I got to see a bunch of people I haven’t seen I a few months. You know when most of your friends have kids because they think 9:00 PM is late. Overall, a nice stress free evening at the party. Because I was at this party, I had to skip my…

Shopping for last-minute items for Christmas party. Co-hostessing a party starting at 5:00 PM. Cleaning up after said party. Driving home and collapsing in bed. It…

Dance class was a BLAST tonight! First, we were drilled on some techniques. The instructor really worked us hard — which was great. And tiring. For some reason, it is easier for me to learn more complicated dance moves than it is very simple ons. We were layering dance moves one on top of the…

So today I’m heading out to another friend’s house for an ‘orphans’ Thanksgiving’ meal. While I’m enjoying spending the time with my friends, part of me keeps looking outside at the beautiful weather and wishing I was riding… The food and meal yesterday was excellent. Great company and good conversation. I can’t get over how…
Happy Thanksgiving! Hope everyone has time with friends and family and not with the nasty flu that is going around. I’m going over to a friend’s house for dinner with her family. I was going to try to head to my Mom’s house. Unfortunately, between air fare prices and lodging for a diabetic cat… it…
Some interesting definitions from The Jargon Lexicon: bletcherous: /blech’@�r@s/, adj. Disgusting in design or function; esthetically unappealing. This word is seldom used of people. “This keyboard is bletcherous!†(Perhaps the keys don’t work very well, or are misplaced.) See losing, cretinous, bagbiting, bogus, and random. The term bletcherous applies to the esthetics of the thing…

So far everything has been going well. I am not going to do any workouts tonight like I normally would. I’ve practised the choreography a few times, reviewed the steps and the music. I feel comfortable with everything. Here’s hoping tomorrow goes well! Related Images:
