From rehearsals (see above), to shows, to an extra-heavy workload (go figure and really I shouldn’t complain…), to field trips, to guilt for not volunteering at school regularly, to piles of laundry (clean and unclean) to errands and constantly packing and re-packing food/costumes for rehearsals/plays, did I mention workload?, and Lucy’s birthday, and the huz’s birthday… and thank goodness I bought myself a bosu ball… because, well…how about an illustration:
You see, when it gets busy going to the gym is difficult. And for me, working-out is a MUST (long story, it’s not just physical)… SO I got a bosu ball so I can at least do a little at home. But the other problem is… food. When it gets busy I get to eating – bad stuff. It’s a rock-and-a-hard-pace kind-of thing. I need to exercise because I don’t have time to eat well, and I need to exercise on account of all the extra calories… See?
Me + busy = NOMNOMNOM
*crumbs everywhere*
*mostly chocolate*
Can I tell you a little story?
Cool, thanks…
It’s about that first picture up there. I have a small and quick roll as an 80’s dancer in my kids’ play. Which means I have to dress as an 80’s dancer, which means… Let’s just say the little girls LOVE me!
“Wow”
“Your hair…” *eyes cross, mouths drool*
“Those earrings are so BIG!”
“WOW”
“Do all those necklaces hurt?”
“I want YOUR costume.”
“You’re weird.”
“What ARE you?”
O.K. So I am not popular with EVERYpuppy, but it’s enough for me. I wish I could have captured the moment before the above picture. I was standing in a sea (8 or so) of dalmatian girls… All asking questions at the same time… petting my hair, touching my bow, fingering/pawing my necklaces.
I think I really do know what Madonna has had to endure for YEEEARS.
I think I could handle being Madonna. So, Madonna, *call me*. I could be your stunt girl or stand-in or whatever.
I digress…
I have quite a few things going on here and about the web as well. I think the best strategy would be to just bullet point those babies.

Besides – there’s a new VLOG… with a random birthday BALLOON.
