the calm before the storm, i'm sure.
sitting on the couch, somewhat listing/watching to jamie cullum - life at blenheim, catching up on way old blog reading, and just generally giving myself some much needed downtime. work's been busy-hectic but in a good way.
i've finally been able to make it out dancing a night or three a week now that we're down the owner from hell in our portfolio. i had plans to make it out tonight as well, but mom returned from her trip to dc extra late last night - we retrieved her from the airport at 12:40ish am when her plane was originally supposed to be in at 10:30 pm. i've been dragging a little bit today and wishing it was friday so i could sleep in a bit tomorrow morning. at least saturday affords me an afternoon at the day spa for a hair appointment and pedicure, and then over to a friend's house for a bbq.
the beginning of the week, the weather here took me back to the balmy nights in texas. granted, it was during the day, but having lunch out on the patio of a local restaurant in the shade with a nice cool breeze making the warmth very pleasant...those are the fond memories of texas for me. that and swimming late at night and getting out to air dry without being cold. i guess you could just say that i miss spring in texas.
i had a wild hair when driving home from mom's house last weekend and decided i'd do a gratis frame, lead and follow workshop for some local dancers that had mentioned they'd be interested. it's interesting, because i feel like i might have a lot to share, but i don't want to tread on any toes, nor do i know what kind of teacher i'd make. guess i'll find out. hopefully it will be a low-key affair and people will remember to show up. it's the weekend after bal rendezvous, so i also hope i'm not overextending myself!
also am starting to look for another place to live. still not sure exactly where, but i'd love to be in a 2 br craftsman house in the south park area with a cute little fenced yard for kalvin where i could put in a plant or few. one that wasn't in questionable shape like the place i am now, was in a quiet neighborhood and had off-street parking. i'm so spoiled by owning a management company. i know too much and really wish i didn't have to deal with another management company. what would really be nice would be to buy a place, but i'm not to that point yet. so i'll just put this out there. i could do without the street parking and the sirens at all hours of the day/night from the firehouse and hospital. bonus would be that the company could take over the bedrooms of the house as offices, and we wouldn't have to move the company for a bit longer. i've already started haunting craigslist.
bed is calling - i think i'll take note.
