Ballet class
Oct. 8th, 2007 10:05 pmI love ballet.
I really do.
It has been way too long and I am so glad that I signed up for this class. Despite many years of ballet lessons, I opted for a beginners ballet class at the local community college. It was so nice to be there with a good instructor and music and just plie away. Also very nice when the instructor walked by and said "you've had many years of ballet, yes?". Yes ma'am. That made me happy that I haven't lost all my knowledge. However, I wasn't pleased when she said "watch her" to the rest of the class. So not cool to be singled out. It made me nervous and threw me off a bit. I did pretty well considering that my ballet muscles are weak. I had a moment of wanting to die halfway through barre exercises, but pulled through.
Can't wait until next week.

This is willpower
Sep. 18th, 2007 10:31 amMy birthday present -
Unopened and promised not to be touched until Ronette comes home from work. It's taunting me. For the record, I chose not to open it this morning. I also have to give Ronette credit because she did not give it to me as soon as she got it, nor tell me she had it. She kept saying "I've got an idea". And this morning when I said I wanted to wait until it was officially my birthday, she said okay. So Ronette has the willpower too.

Feeling lazy
Aug. 29th, 2007 10:52 amCan I just sit here and play on the internet all day instead of cleaning my house?
I just drank a real live Coca Cola.
Wow!
I'm buzzed.
On sugar and caffeine.
No caffeine in weeks and I don't normally drink non-diet soda.
But I had to.
The grocery store had Hecho en Mexico Coca Cola.
It just tastes so much better than the crap they produce here.
If they had had Hecho en Mexico Coca Light, I would have bought that instead.
It tastes better too.
Better than whatever fake sugar they use now.
Which would lead you and myself to believe that if I think soda tastes better when it's not made in the US, then I should not ever drink soda made in the US.
OK, I should shut up and stop rambling now.

Aug. 22nd, 2007 04:12 pm| You Are a Haunted House |
 You are a deeply complicated and sometimes deeply disturbed person. You can't help but be attracted to the dark side of life - even when it's pretty gruesome. In relationships, you are honest and real. So real that it's definitely a little scary. You don't fake it or play along just to get along. And people either respect this... or deeply resent it Your life is thoughtful, deep, and even philosophical at times. You see the world as it is. You don't sugar coat anything. Facing and fighting your fears is important to you. You believe that too much of life is whitewashed. You're not too morbid... you just believe that you can't enjoy life without exorcising a few demons first! At your best, you are brave, intense, and fearless. Not only do you face the abyss head on - you challenge your friends to do the same. At your worst, you are depressed and morose. If you're not careful, your thoughts take over your mind... and they aren't pretty! |
Bizarre Strange Weird WTF
Aug. 1st, 2007 05:39 pmOK, this is totally bizarre. I don't know how many of you know who Louise Hay is, but I was introduced to her a long time ago and completely appreciate her. So I was looking to download one of her meditation tapes on Audible.com, but they were so cheap there I didn't want to waste a credit for something under $10. I go over to Amazon and search the audiobooks and the one that I was thinking about getting is only available on cassette on Amazon. OK, I go to check out who has them and OMG! $200 for a 60 minute cassette? heres the link if you don't believe me. I think I'll go back over to Audible and circumvent using my credits.

Jul. 25th, 2007 09:32 pmI'm going to bed y'all.
I'm tired. you've got to pronounce that with more than one syllable too.
I wish I could say that it has been a long day, but really it hasn't. I'm just sleepy today. And the PT work out did not energize me at all. I was in the pool and it just made me sleepier.
Anyway, I'll be around tomorrow.
I have to find some way to entertain myself.
I've pretty much covered all the projects that I thought I could finish before Friday. Now I guess I'll start on a new one downstairs and trash the rec room while I put the studio together finally.

Jul. 25th, 2007 07:24 pmI'm heading to the bathtub with a nice book for a nice long relaxing bath before I go to bed.
I've been sleepy, sleepy today so I think I'm turning in early.

When did I stop paying attention?
Jul. 24th, 2007 10:45 amI used to be on top of what was going on in the literary world.
I used to know about the book before it was published.
All without the internet.
Now, I'm last in line.
HTF?

Where's my lunch?
Jul. 19th, 2007 01:33 pmIt's 1:30 and I really need to go eat some lunch. I've been productive so far today although my time schedule is a little off. I decided that while Ronette is gone that I would make to-do lists and all that good stuff so that I can have a lot accomplished by the time she gets back. So far today I've gone to the gym, eaten breakfast, finished cleaning out the lingerie drawers, tossed a lot of stuff, showered, had a good cry and gotten dressed. Now I'm sitting here on the computer shopping when I should be eating. But it's so fun to watch the flock of chickadees that hatched this year fly around the backyard. Not fun to watch the squirrels steal the peaches off my tree though. And it's raining today. Yay! There are suppose to be thunderstorms. I can't wait. So I'm off to eat. I'll be checking in later, it's on my schedule.
Oh,![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
yarbiedoll, Ronette said that the hummingbird is really big considering that he's a hummingbird. So maybe it wasn't just the perspective of the picture. Oh, and Kim S. is back in the states until September. Is Holly still on that side of the earth? If she is, I should really forward you Kim's email. Well, even if she's not then I should forward the email anyway.
Oh,

Jun. 28th, 2007 11:16 amSo it was just a fleeting thought. The comments were persuasive, but ultimately I decided that yesimthegirl keeps me with just a bit more anonymity than my other choice. And it is me. So I'm off my "everybody else has cooler LJ names" kick.
Now I'm back to reorganizing the bathroom/beauty junk.

May. 8th, 2007 11:45 amIt's warm here today! Yay! I've got all the windows open while I lay on the couch and do nothing but read and watch tv. I'm recuperating. :) And I'm not very good at it, so I'm practicing doing nothing. And I'm bored, bored, bored.
Went through the stack of mail brought in. Nothing interesting. Although, I've been wondering why I've been getting College of Humanities and Social Science booklets from my alma mater. Today, I went on the website to find out if/why/when psychology moved from Education and Psychology to CHASS. Don't know when and don't really like it. But whatever.
And that's about all I have to say for now.

Do ya wanna have fun, fun, fun?
Sep. 24th, 2006 02:29 pmLast night we went to San Jose to see Sweet Charity starring *drumroll*
Molly Ringwald!
It was great! I had so much fun. Molly can't dance but the show was fabulous. Did I mention how much I love Molly Ringwald? The number one reason why I wanted to see this show. And I loved the movie version with Shirley MacLain. I'm sure that I will spend the next week walking around the house singing "Hey big spender" with the requisite hip bumping to the music in my head.
Oh, before anyone boos me about Molly's dancing, she really can't dance as previously evidenced in The Breakfast Club. The show is Fosse choreography. Best dance sequence is the Rich Man's Frug. However, it was apparent from Molly's lack of dancing during the show and the modified dance steps when she did dance that Charity/Molly is not a dancer. Which was perfectly ok with me because I didn't go to see her dance. It was funny standing in line for the restroom at intermission because a couple of ladies were trying to be kind to Molly's dancing by saying "she's trying, she's really trying".
If my friends could see me nowwwwww!
