Riding Finally!
Yesterday I went out to the barn after a yoga class and before evening dance practise. It was really nice to see the girls. I’ve missed being around them while all of the house stuff was going on. There is nothing quite as nice as having your horses nicker for you when you walk into…
iPhone at AT&T and Apple Stores
I used to be an AT&T Wireless customer, prior to the buyout of AT&T Wireless by Cingular (or the merging of the two companies, whichever way it actually happened). Any way, my plan with AT&T was much better than any Cingular offered. The AT&T Wireless experience was okay: helpful salesperson, excited about offering me a…
Flooring
Got home today to find the first pieces of flooring in place. It looks great! I’ll have to post before and after pictures. Purty purty stuff. Can’t wait to see what the new vanity and faucet look like when they’re installed. Not home for long… heading out to dance practise. Related Images:
Solo?
Our troupe’s dance instructor threw me a curve ball today: she asked if I would like to do a solo. I’ve been interested in doing a solo, but have not considered that I was ready for one. I’d like to have a better repetoire of steps, for example. Eep! So I have a week to…
What a night…
Okay, first the good news. The package I thought had been Banff’ed was actually sent to the dead letter center in Atlanta. That was one MAJOR screw up on the part of the post office. I went to the post office when the letter was supposedly still in the building. I was told (at the…
My package has been Banff’ed
I think it’s lost and not coming back. I’m going to go to the post office today and make a claim. This is crazy. I should have gotten the package back long ago. For them to not have it and to not know where it is after this amount of time is insane. I called…
Bizarre Dreams
I must have had a strange dream last night: I woke up singing a song I learned in elementary school (“Senior Don Gato”–yup, song about a cat). Very bizarre. I haven’t thought about that song in years. Funny what you remember. Oh Senior Don Gato was a cat On a high red roof Don Gato…
Way Too Early
I am not a morning person. Never have been, never will be. I have missed two hours’ worth of sleep this morning to meet the cleaning people at my house. Sigh. Really tired. I know, it’s not technically that early, but when it’s two hours earlier than what you are used to getting up, that’s…
Sequestered Felines
The kitties have been locked in my second bedroom for the past week and half. I’ve been worried about them getting into the fans and humidifiers the cleaning crew brought. These kitties are completely spoiled: their room has a cat tower for climing up to a window, three cat beds (including a new one for…
Dammit. Janet.
Ever feel like a deer in headlights? You get caught up in doing some activity, trying to correct some error, and you spend all day on it. It’s like some bizarre fascination that you just can stop once you’ve started it. Wasted the entire friggin’ evening looking for information on MacJournal and WordPress. That really…
MacJournal Frustrations
Mariner Software, the publishers of MacJournal, have a great reputation. Many people love MacJournal. It’s highly recommended as desktop journaling and blogging software. A friend of my tried it and love it, so I bought it. According to the reviews I had read, MJ works with popular blogging software including WordPress. Sounded like a great…
Home Improvement, Part the X
My stepfather is in town helping me fix up some things on the house. So far, we’ve installed a deadbolt in the back door and have attempted to fix the side door lock (talk about a messy door). The doorknob and lock is an antique mortise lock made by Yale. Surprisingly, Yale still makes mortise…
Helping Hands
My stepfather is flying in this weekend to help me with home repairs. I’m feeling really blessed to have supportive parents — and someone knowledgable to ask questions. Boy is my knowledge lacking when it comes to home repairs. He is flying in tonight and will be here until Sunday. Yay! Related Images:
Dance Performance
The big day finally arrived! We met in Oak Ridge for the Secret City Festival about 2:30 on Saturday. The performance started at 3:00. It was a blast! Jaia from Ananda Dance Company, BellaBelly Dance Company, and Gypsy Dream (my troupe). Check out the photography section for pictures. Related Images:
