I remembered today that I feel like an uncoordinated dork in step aerobic classes. However, the cueing was good, even if I couldn't get some of the steps right, and all in all, I think I did pretty well. One of the people in the class asked if I had taken any other step classes. … Continue reading If I Type Real Fast, I Won’t Have to Think
Life
RAJ – Fun Stuff
When was the last time you... ...laughed? Tonight at dinner -- Nina put her cracker in Jeff's drinking glass. I guess you had to be there... ...cried? This past Friday night, when I was missing Jasmine. ...drank too much? Too much? How much is too much? If too much is until I feel shitty the … Continue reading RAJ – Fun Stuff
Happy Birthday, Nina!
Today is Nina's 1st birthday. We're just doing a family thing for her and will have a cake and open the presents that have been sent. I'll take pictures and we'll either post them here or at Ofoto, and I'll post a link here. Last year on this day, at this time, they had just … Continue reading Happy Birthday, Nina!
night news
Just a quick entry. If you are not a parent, this will probably mean nothing to you, but last night Nina spent the entire night in her own bed -- woo hoo! She still woke up for about an hour from 2 - 3, but I just sat with her in her bedroom until she … Continue reading night news
Body Parts & Fire
I know you don't want to read yet another entry about how my body aches, but damn, we worked my shoulders good today. Last week was very good -- some soreness, but not of the debilitating kind. The scale is inching down, though my impending period will probably halt that somewhat. Anyway, for anyone who … Continue reading Body Parts & Fire
That Old Black Magic
Because I let the "W" words fly in the last entry, I figure I ought to address that in case any of the folks over at the school who read this (or anyone else, for that matter), are worried. First, you know from my Cast that I have cats, dogs and a baby, so you … Continue reading That Old Black Magic
125 Things
I think I've been at Diaryland long enough to qualify for this: 1. I am obsessive about books; I read them, I horde them and sometimes, when no one is looking, I press my open book against my nose and breathe deeply, taking in the unmistakable scent of Book. 2. I have a nearly uncontrollable … Continue reading 125 Things
Tarot Reading: About Bloomington
Another tarot reading today. In the interest of fairness, I did a "What happens if we stay in Bloomington?" spread. Here's what I got: Significator: The Star Situation: 2 of Wands Crossing: Ace of Pentacles Before: 8 of Swords Ahead: 7 of Cups Below: 9 of Cups Above: The Magician Me: Death Environment: 5 of … Continue reading Tarot Reading: About Bloomington
Some Days I Write Just To Write
I am so curious about some of you who read this journal! I feel like the Cheshire Cat in Alice in Wonderland -- WHO are YOU? Or maybe like The Who, "Who are you, who, who, who, who?" I am a compulsive stats checker, and most of the time I can figure out who's who … Continue reading Some Days I Write Just To Write
Darkling Skies
Yesterday the weather in central Illinois was interesting, to say the least. The whole day was grey and up till about 4:30 or 5:00 it was also very warm and muggy. Late in the day I told Jeff he was going to have to fix the air conditioning wires that were destroyed by Destructo-Dog and … Continue reading Darkling Skies
