I love working for the government at times.
So, I got a notice today about my appeal of the furlough from 2013, which was that a telecon is being scheduled for July 7th. I love the pace of how this legal process is moving!

I was rather frantic before the performance, but it went well. Here is a link that I think will work, please let me know if it doesn't. poishowtime
I've been taking a 12 week class on poi spinning (not brave enough to do fire yet) and this afternoon is the performance. First time I've been in a performance since I had a bit part in the high school play. Boy am I nervious! A sample of our practice is located Read more... )Joys of dog ownership
