Etta James rocks my socks

I started to paint again.
However...this was weeks ago. I haven't picked up a brush since.
A pen is something of a foreign object to me as well these days.

I like rap. I said it. Today for the first time in a long while, I listened to the radio. Some song about an elevator came on...I freaked out, cranked my volume, upped that bass, dropped the windows, and rocked it out like a rock star. Probably the greatest feeling I've had in a long time...Until the SUV next to me looked at me like I was a bright pink Poodle.

I feel that society tells us to believe many things that we shouldn't. Among them (there are MANY-I could rant about society for hours) are simple cliche or 'corny' little things. These simple 'corny' things that show us how delightful life can be. I have flowers in my room. Today I have flowers in my room. When the windows were open and the bleakest amount of sunlight bleed through the curtains it created this beautiful little picture. I found delight in this. Very simple, but literally, it shaped the mood for the rest of my day.

I want a dog. Our neighbors have a dog and we have been offered to walk him if we desire. I desire. I desire very badly.

Bach's Double Concerto in D Minor for two Violins will forever and always be a favorite of mine.

The little boy I nanny for today asked me again when the girl with the glasses was coming back. I guess he didn't understand our conversation that we had last (see previous blogs for story).

I found a job for this summer. I'm so so so thrilled and feel really blessed about it. On top of that, it's something that I've really really thought about doing as a professional career.
However, I still can't really see myself doing anything but opening a dance studio...we'll see. We all know how my life throws curve balls.

The show is over. So fantastic to be back on stage. Words cannot express the love I have. After closing night my dad asked me "Do you feel at home up there?". "I do dad, I really do"..."I can tell babe, I can tell".
I can't tell you how much that means to me. Gosh I love him.
