July
1st weekend: Independence Day, Shawn and I have been invited to La Conner by electriclime!!!
2nd weekend: to Arlington National Cemetery in Virginia for my granny's burial. :(
3rd weekend: Belly dancing at my teacher’s festival, Mediterranean Fest (Med Fest for short) in West Seattle (performing on Sunday!)
4th weekend: Scottish Highland Games in Enumclaw, to see Ockham's Razor, and I really want a Seattle tartan! (Fri), Shakespeare in the Park at Camp Long (West Seattle) - A Comedy of Errors, and Phil & Mary's Housewarming (Sat)
August
1st weekend - in Chicago, for Sigma Alpha Iota's National Convention. Also seeing cousins who live in the area.
2nd weekend - after a sad, sad absence last year due to politics, Renaissance Faire, moved to Buckley from Gig Harbor (Sat)
3rd weekend - Gretchen and I will be getting drastic Haircuts! (Sat).
4th weekend - Cabiri performance (Fire dancing) at Arts in Nature Festival at Camp Long in West Seattle (Sat., I think?)
Regular Weekly Schedule
Monday - Standing date night with Shawn!
Tuesday - Fire dancing (through late August)
Wednesday - officially declared my NEW NIGHT OFF. I'm taking at least the summer off from WW.
Thursday - Belly dancing - for now. ***
Friday/Sat/Sun - Varied - see above!
Plus work Mon-Fri, 7:30-4:30
Plus Passion Parties - maybe it's a good thing that I'm not getting interest to book parties, I don't know when I'd squeeze them in!
I know, it's fascinating. You should see my ACTUAL calender - it's like a blue pen barfed all over it. But if you are my stalker, that's where you can find me in the upcoming days.
If you want to go to any of this stuff (except for like, Chicago and Arlington), let me know. Otherwise, my schedule is pretty well tapped out through August!
*** after Med Fest, I may be shopping around for a new belly-dance teacher who is a) younger and not plagued with health issues, b) more responsible, c) more focused and d) teaches classes more geared for younger dancers (if you are 68 and starting belly dancing, you can't really move your hips, and I don't need to be around while you try for 2 hours, mkay? Glad you've taken it up, and I'm sure your grandkids are impressed with a groovy granny, but I want to get with the program here!). The current class is relatively cheap ($60/10 classes, and just a block away), but when you can literally fall asleep in a dance class, it is sad times. And when the teacher only emails ONE person that she won't be there, and then everyone else shows up, it's kind of a waste of time and pretty darn rude.
