It's hard sometimes to enjoy a cup of tea...

I got a nice new mug from work for a mentoring program I participate in. Really pretty mug. Then I went to use it.

There was apparently a crack down the side of the mug so it all tried to come out. It's hard to drink tea that's too hot & you can't really enjoy it if you're rushing it.

I wonder if California tea is different... (At this time tomorrow I'll be on a plane to Sacramento!!)

Isolation.

It's really freakin' hard. I'm tryin' to fix my posture again. I learned how to Saturday. Problem is when I'm trying to elongate my spine, I tense up all my muscles in my butt & legs to do so. Makes sitting around at work quite a bit of work & a pain in the butt, almost literally. So yeah, this is what I do at work to keep myself entertained while I'm doing real work. Oh, and listen to WCS-able music.

Now back to your regularly scheduled programming... ;-)

Same old thing.

Work, FIRST, dance, sleep, repeat daily until February 24th.

'course, in a way, it wasn't the same old thing, the FIRST kiddos rocked & had a blast at the Superbowl party & dance. It made a lot of people wish that night that they had started the dance as a teenager. :-)

I went dancing Monday 'cause there were reporters from The Boston Globe there to see what WCS was all about to write an article about it. It was cool that I carpooled with someone, but it sucked that he slept on the ride home. Oh, and there was a new guy at dance who's really cool. Hopefully we'll get him to come to more dances than that one since I likely won't be frequenting that dance.

Damn the snow last night. Made it so I didn't go dancing. I got to bed early, but I got up later than normal & got into work later than the rest of the week. Ah well, will just have to work late some night(s) this week.

I find out by tomorrow morning if I get to stay out in Cali for the week after Capital Swing for testing. I really hope that it happens.

Hmm, I guess it wasn't really the same old thing. I danced on a non-dancing night, I didn't dance on a dancing night, I might get to spend a lot of time in Cali soon...

All she wants to do is dance...

Yet as much as I wanted to dance, I couldn't pull myself away from doing math with the FIRST kiddos Thursday night. They even told me to leave. I couldn't do it. I was mad at myself for a little while, but I got over it. It was a stupid thing to be mad over. BUT, to make up for my not dancing Thursday, I went out to Swing City on Friday. I had SO much fun. It was fun pretending that I knew how to do lindy. :-) I got some crap for not showing up to dance Thursday night, but I think I made up for it by crossing over into his true dance scene. Learned a lot from him. Definitely want to learn more lindy & give the dance some time of day - or night. ;-) All this even though I ended up on my butt at one point during the night involuntarily & a ton of bruises all over me.

I had no problem leaving FIRST early on Saturday for dance. Helped that the kids I was working with helped force me out. I learned so much from Robert Royston's workshop. He's amazing. I set up a private with him at NADC, I can't wait for it. On top of learning a ton of stuff, I had a lot of wicked awesome dances with people. Made me wake up this morning rather on the sore side of things.

And now, I get ready to go to FIRST. And then I bring a bunch of FIRST kiddos to the superbowl party at dance. Should be a blast. I just hope there are enough leaders for all the girls I'm bringing... :-P
