Stars collide and steal my fate, I'm the one they'll all embrace.

I'll be productive at some point today... but where's the fun in that??? Jokes like this are more fun, yes?:

Men are like fine wine. They all start out like grapes, and it's our job to stomp on them and keep them in the dark until they mature into something with which you'd like to have dinner with."

"Women are like fine wine. They all start out fresh, fruity and intoxicating to the mind and then turn full-bodied with age until they go all sour and vinegary and give you a headache."

I will post pictures tonight of our new work area. It is way cool. I got rid of a ton of crap from circa 10 years ago, when I wasn't even in high school. Unnecessary = file 13! My new workspace is smaller, but more efficient because the only stuff I have is the stuff I actually use. Beautiful.

Also tonight, I'm going to do the dishes I haven't been home for a week to do, and vacuum, and generally make the apartment look like a place that is lived in and not passed through for a change of clothes and some cold pizza. I also need to make a shopping list for when I get paid on Friday.

I am trying out a new type of chai tea this morning. Tasty! Four spoonfuls of powder, 2 French Vanilla creamers and we are good to go. Also, I am *not* having pizza today, I have been eating it for a almost a week straight. Must not tell trainer that today, or he will make me run up extra flights.

Last night was my first night back in ballet, after a month off. I'm challenging myself to the Intermediate level, which is going to be interesting. It didn't help that there was a 5 foot gap between my brain and my feet and the commands were not firing off quickly enough between the two. Bit of a lag time there. But the teacher, Janice, has worked with me before and said after class that she's seen a lot of improvement from just a few months ago, and she thinks I can handle this level. I also really want to work on my flexibility, but at age 24, I'm not sure how much more I'm going to get out of my body. But, it will be a good challenge. Kind of like the combination from last night: 2 balancés, waltz step, taumbe, pas de bourrée, piroutte, 2 balancés, waltz step, prep and 3 piqué turns. Fun, but a bit of a thinker, and I really suck at pirouttes. Something to work on!

Suddenly, I am incredibly nauseous... damnit. Maybe work is the cure?? I will try it, and let you all know how it goes.

work - mckinstry, dance ballet, life or something like it
