.thursday.

.things that happened this week.

Basically I don't even know what's going on anymore. There was dancing, lots of dancing - classes I took, lessons I taught, and practice practice practice. By Friday I was so tired I could barely see straight (an awful combination of too much activity, too much stress, and not enough sleep) but then there was Raqs Bohéme...

And then I was supposed to go wig shopping with Rebecca on Saturday, but we were both really tired. But I did locate a pool and buy a swimsuit and dance knee pads.

And all of this (plus everything else) is why my etsy shop has been shut down for the last three weeks. I will hopefully get around to opening it back up this coming week now that things are calmer (in theory) - but first I need to inventory everything and reorder things like bottles. And mailing envelopes.
And if I don't get to play video games today I'm going to be a very sad panda.
Can I have a day off? Please?

.things that happened this week.

• PRINT '13 in Chicago. I saw many machines.
• There's a pirate hanging from the ceiling in the Kansas City airport.

 • Work has become chaos.
 • Not Smoker performance 3 of 5. Better crowd (except for that one guy, because there's always got to be that one guy.) Also the whole "the moved the show to the Pitt" was a bit problematic. Dancing on loose gravel over loose sand: awesome.

• Bellydancer's Ball:

• And now I'm off to classes with Sahira!

.things that happened this week.

• Miami! Not as awesome as it sounds - mostly because I was working the entire time and saw nothing that was exciting or even remotely fun. But I am now slightly obsessed with palm tree biology and evolution.

• It's confirmed that my post carrier is an A-hole. Thanks for not picking up my outgoing mail sir. Now it's a week late going out.

• Renn Fair Not-Smoker day two.
It was very hot.

• Spectacular Spectacular!

.things that happened this week.

I refinished the floor in my dance studio (i.e. the scary basement). This involved ripping out all of the carpet and padding and putting anything else down over the sub flooring.
My husband doesn't even know yet (he comes home from Philly tomorrow).
And that's pretty much all I did.
(Yes, there were other things, like fixing the condensate pump on our HVAC, fixing the ceiling where the pump was leaking, repainting the kitchen floor, and usual things like laundry - but the dance studio was the big thing.)

Tomorrow I dance at the Not-Smoker at the KC Renaissance Festival.
Wish me luck because it's probably going to be awful.
