2010!!! Time to WIN!!!!

"If it rhymes, It's right!" My brother Danny used to say that our Sitie, Arabic for grandma, used to say that. The truth is, Danny made that up. But this year IS going to be a winner! How do I know? Well, first of all, it's an even year, and those are always great. Also, I'm just due and that's all there is to it.
I spent the evening in lovely ways: I had a great meal at a middle eastern buffet with Pamela (dreamy), Ivy (gorgeous), Melanie (darling), Jeff (wonderful). We ate well and laughed much. Then my Aunt Sharon called me and told me about her friend, Judy Shapiro, whom was reported to have been caught dancing with an unseen entity in her kitchen. I'm very jealous, seriously. Why did all my supernatural dance partners split before puberty? Maybe I should summon them back.
Well, I did dance A LOT tonight. Okay, so I was alone at home, but still, it was amazing, okay?! Don't pity me. I really enjoy my own company. ;) My friends are on the way over to ring in the new year with me. I hope they get here before midnight. Gosh! I hope they bring sparkling cider! I'm fresh out. They went to a church dance. I didn't want to go for fear of seeing someone who would make my blood feel like it has needles in it. Still too much emotion there. Gosh! It hurts like a mother. Besides, I'm a little old now for dances, unless I host them and all my supernatural boyfriends come. Those guys! ;) Alright, I'll stop being silly and just say, HAPPY NEW YEAR! It's all US guys!!! 2010-WIN! WIN! WIN!


PS- win...ok?....ok.

mime, cont.

For Halloween this year I said I was a psychic mime. I liked that concept. Like, "I know everything, but I'm not sayin' a word!" Silly character! Amusing.

sometimes i wonder what it would be like to be a mime

Christmas 2009

I can't sleep. I should sleep. I will be heading to Mesa, Arizona in a few short hours. I'm all revved up, emotionally I guess. I am coming off of a very heart breaking split with a genius boy who was a real nurturer and just an all-around wonder. There were some very practical reasons it didn't work out. I suppose the realist in me is somewhat relieved. Still, it doesn't make my mystical side any less heart broken. Sigh.

Salon secrets...

I spent three hours at the salon today. A lot of women were talking about how horrible the men in their lives were behaving. Gambling, lying, cheating, buying corvettes...it was all so painfully awful.... It hurts. Why? Because it's true.
Onward! Gosh, I love Harry Potter! What a genius, that Rowling! All the intricate little pieces are coming together. I feel like I wanna go to Hogwarts.
I fell in hard, hot love with an Austin celebrity....Aaron B....Ghostland Observatory's lead singer. Yikes! Google them if you wanna get the picture. Better yet, YouTube. I can't explain it but I'll try...Me and my musical friend Ivy got VIP Austin City Limits tickets!!! We saw The Decemberists and GHOSTLAND OBSERVATORY, so up close and personal!!! The Decemberists were musically magical but G.O. gave us a visual smorgasbord I'll never forget. 2 guys, one in a long sky blue satin cape who did all the sound board stuff+drums, and one with two long black braids gracing his fair head and shoulders, wearing a turquoise native american looking shirt, white bell bottoms, brown cowboy boots---he's the singer/guitar player. Now I have a HUGE celebrity crush.
What else is going on??? I 'm teaching watercolor classes this summer. Very fun! Today me and two 8 yr old twins painted fairy portraits. Wonderful!
Tomorrow I start DAY 1 of a 2 day, 8am-4pm process of attending a serious AUTISM workshop. Next year I'll have a little boy in my class with autism and I need to arm myself with knowledge.
PS--I love tabbouleh

It's just another manic...monday

My blog! Hoorah! I'm living large and spilling my guts in a whole new format! And it's so non-invasive with the typing verses the pains of having to express myself vocally and making all of my very exhausting facial expressions! The written word is so cool and collected. It engulfs me and keeps me in its cold little office. I'm so excited! I hope I will build the lovliest little blog. Stay tuned.
