Daughter of Bast

Maybe?

Maybe it's time for this site to come down. I haven't used it much in quite some time. Things are just crazy in my life, and I spend more time on other sites. (Social media and Livejournal). Something to think about.

New Year, New Opportunities

It seems silly, but it's true. Slate seems clean right now. Goals are set. Plans are made. Let's DO this!

I agree with the Queen!

2009 is a year best forgotten! Generally speaking, many things happened in 2009 that I am so glad to have seen. SO many things in my life, personally, that I would always want to experience (summer of love, anyone?). However, the Christmas Blizzard of 2009 really ruined my holidays. I had some incredible bright spots in what was otherwise a very sad Christmas. I love time for the family stuff. My folks are great and we are a small but tight-knit group (even through our dysfuction). My husband's family is large and a lot harder for me to get used to. But we didn't make it out to my folks's place before the snow, and the roads were impassable until yesterday (when we did sneak out there for a little bit). Even my mother-in-law cancelled the in-town Christmas get-together and rescheduled for yesterday, which we missed.

My favorite moments of Christmas 2009: Crazy snow driving by Robert (the man is insane, but no snow gets him down), Christmas Eve viewing of Avatar followed by Chinese food dinner and gift exchange, Surprise Christmas night dinner of king crab and peppered pork (dinner WIN) and Rock Band until the wee hours. And best of all, lots of time with the hubby.

Post Intensive...

Okay, wrapped up this trimester of school. It went VERY well. Did mostly okay on the testing while at school. Got great compliments on my bodywork. From my instructor. I was nonplussed. It great to hear! Got my final Anatomy and Physiology grade which is a 98. I am super excited!

We're now officially on school break. What I thought was going to be two weeks is definitely three. Apparently they don't get started right away. Which is a blessing. I will be hauling out my knitting/sewing projects that NEED to get done, and playing ukulele, and hanging out with friends. All the things I haven't had time to do while studying. Well, all of that and getting in as many massages as I can possibly schedule so that I prepared to take my practicum. Plus, perhaps a celebratory get-together or two. Let my hair down, be irresponsible for a little bit. Sounds nice!

I am also excited about the weekend after the first. Another trip to KC to see friends, etc. Cannot wait! Am missing them ever so much, plus there are baby snuggles to be had.

Currently on hold from the doctor's office until this afternoon on what to do about the cycle that hasn't appeared yet. Took the last progesterone pill last Monday, 7 days ago. So I guess we'll see.

Time or something like it

I found some time. Or stole it. Whichever way you like. A bit of time to update. I have no delusions of standing, I am pretty sure no one reads this anymore. Which is what happens when you stop posting. Heh.

Life is busy, full of stuff.

Finals week is here for school and while it hit me hard (surprise test, anyone?) I'm making it through. This week is supposed to be the last weekend intensive barring weather, and I am ready to let it go for a couple of weeks. During which I have decided that while I am going to practice massage I will NOT be cracking any books.

I have made it through the 10 days of hormones (nothing like the 10 days of Christmas, I promise). Now, hopefully to get my cycle back on track. Yay!

Otherwise that's what I'm up to. How about you?

Holy Canoli, Batman!

Wow. Okay, so I am the uber lame. I wasn't even in here in September, and so missed the great typepad overhaul. I was hella surprised, that's for sure.

So many things and so little time. I am back in school. Massage school. And it is great, and hard, and then some more great.

Things at home are lovely and even lovelier when I have finished studying for the week. Which sometimes doesn't happen soon enough. I finish and then I begin again less than 24 hours later. Whew!

Am running of the KC again this weekend, apparently there might be a baby rather soon. No guarantees, but maybe.

Can't promise to be back here as often as I'd like, but hopefully!

Some mornings are meant to be hated.

Granted, today didn't really do anything to me. But I'm a hater anyway. Mostly because I have been up entirely too late the last three nights. Why, you may ask? I'm obsessed.

I'm a ukulele playing fool lately. BUT!?! I've been having jam sessions with Sam. Also a newbie, but a mandolin player. It's awesome. We're quite possibly forming the My Little Mandolele Band. True genius, really. lol! I am excited about our progress. We have most parts of roughly 5 songs, and 4 of which are covers. One is a mashup of things we already knew, but basically it's chords and awesomeness. You can't even tell what they were because we aren't actually using the melody lines. So essentially, we sorta wrote something. There are no lyrics yet, but I have a feeling there will be.

I am loving it, it is amazing, and I can't wait to do more.

Limbo, but with focus.

That title sounds like some sort of crazy dancing, no?

Well, that I mean is that I feel very much in limbo right now. Timewise, I have no projects I'm working on, nothing I want to do right now. And even practicing my ukulele sounds fun but not THAT fun. You know?

I have my school interview tonight. I am prepped. Mostly. I have my financial aid application in (finished it today) and am wearing something nice. I have makeup on(maybe too much? The jury is still out on that). I straightened my hair. I look nice. At this point? Not a lot I can do one way or the other. Why, then, am I so nervous about it?

Is it because I really, really want to do this? Yeah. Most definitely. I should have made an offering this morning. I forgot. Think good thoughts for me.

Gogol Bordello and bellydancer madness

We ladies are headed tonight to the big O for a Gogol Bordello concert. That's right, you heard me. We're NOT having class just so's we can head out and be ontime for this mahvelous show. w007!

Their website with listening options and everything is here. Get your party on, peoples...there might still be tix. Loves and happy gypsy punk dancing! 

You have plans for tonight.

Trust me, if you are local, you have plans. SJ Tucker aka Skinny White Chick will be playing a studio concert at Dancer's Oasis studio in town. Concert starts at 8 p.m., donations will be taken to keep them on the road. 

It's going to be a blast! Are you kidding? Sooj plus bellydancers? Match made in heaven, or somewhere slightly southwest of there. lol!

There may be drumming and dancing afterwards. Really. Yay!
