My sister called Sunday and invited me to join her for a Dallas to San Francisco road trip since her friend flaked on her. Owing to other obligations (like seeing Green Day tomorrow night, wooooo!!! and our parent coming up next Wednesday) I won't be joining her for the whole trip, but I will do Phoenix to Las Vegas with her. This means I get to ( Read more... )

I have many new pictures up on flickr to show you. There are a few zoo pictures from a few weeks ago. They are mostly of the alpacas since they had recently been shaved. They are very spindly under all that hair.

I'm glad I wore my renfaire outfit Friday because I was at a much quieter station than Sunday and did not need to bend and lift and carry as much to refill ( Read more... )

I also need to do laundry before I go to make sure I have enough ( Read more... )

I know. Two month posting hiatus. I was busy then just got really passive about internetting. Here's a brief recap of what's been going on with me ( Read more... )

I had my first hula fusion belly dance class. So much fun! For the August show, we are dancing to "Rock a Hula" and "Can't Help Falling in Love With You" by Elvis. I'm sure I will be very sick of both songs by August, but "Can't Help" is one of my favorite Elvis songs ( Read more... )

I have a Dreamwidth account now. Thanks, marcelle42! I'll still keep cross-posting here and there. I think I'm going to abandon the IJ though; nothing's really going on over there ( Read more... )
