I'm Still Here

It's been a busy week. Haven't had a chance to sit and think. Hopefully soon.

Try A Little Tenderness

Short and sweet post:

Very important to keep that in mind.

A White Picket Fence Around Chaos

Before I start today's post, I thought of a perfect song for the last one I posted. Yeah, I know, to do it right I should go into the old post and edit it. Too bad. :)

Now for today's post. The title comes from a chapter of the book I'm reading now, Coyote Blue by Christopher Moore. The first book of his that I read was Lamb: The Gospel According To Biff, Christ's Childhood Pal. I think I still love Terry Pratchett's books a little more, but Moore is becoming a close second.

Coyote Blue is all about chaos, and how the main character deals with it. Lots of helpful hints, which I desperately need. I don't care for chaos. Some people thrive on adrenaline and excitement. I'm a slow and steady type of person. I even prefer the Steady State theory of the creation of the universe, even though lots of evidence points to the Big Bang. Actually, the latest theory seeks to combine the two, because there is evidence to support some version of both.

So, I encourage everyone to check out Christopher Moore's books. And I don't even get a percentage of the sales. :)

Oh, well...

Yes, I do have fun in dance class, but some days are better than others. Yesterday was a bit humbling. We did extensive veil work, then formed a circle, and each lady got to perform for a short improv. I had pictured what I wanted to do, and was just starting out when I guess I stepped on the veil or something. The next thing I knew, I landed on my fanny. BTW, fanny is a really bad cuss word in the United Kingdom.

Anyway, I laughed for a little while, then quickly finished up and tagged the next lady. I think the teacher actually was glad that it happened, because afterward she talked about how these classes are safe places to experiment, and that sometimes leads to temporary setbacks, but we need to persevere. I practiced this morning, and I'm hoping she'll let me have a Mulligan next week.

I thought about posting Britney Spear's video for Oops I Did It Again, but I'm not a big fan of hers. So I will work on my grace, and hope next class is better. :)
