polka dot thoughts

i just had an interesting conversation with my best friend regarding our frenzied lifestyle as dancers/choreographers.  the weekends get booked far in advance and way before any personal appointments can be made.  my weekends are booked until november (i have two available weekends), with the exception of next weekend in which i will actually go on a date that has been put off for about, oh, six months.  sigh.  the week is spent working on choreography for the weekend and for my high school team, practices, and dealing with my unaccommodating administration at the high school, whom i've decided is out to get me.  

on the bright side, i adore what i do and i have a best friend who totally gets it.  we will never lead normal lives, as long as we keep doing what were doing, which will probably be a long time.  

i'm leaving for india in october, for two or three weeks, to dance/cheer for a cricket tournament.  random pants, but i'm so excited.

currently reading "the hour i first believed" by wally lamb, and am fixated on each page.  lamb is a genius, and if you haven't read "this much i know is true", you should consider it.  

my baby girl starts kindergarten in two days.  yep, my niece will enter one of the first social

 rites of passage:  public school.  aunt jenna wants to be there to protect her all day.  i'm sure i can think of some crazy alter ego, like when i wore all black, prada shades and a beret 

to her pre-school vocal recital and pretended to be her talent agent from the disney channel.

went to a bridal shower on sunday for my most favorite libra, camie.  she is truly a gem and i feel so blessed to be her friend.  she is an incredibly selfless woman and one who deserves every happiness this world has to offer.  she is marrying the man of her dreams in a few weeks and i cannot wait to witness this joyous occasion.  see, camie is the kind of girl who can fo sho keep it real....she won't become a besotted married woman.  thanks sister.  : )

final random thought for the day:  this morning in our "welcome back staff" meeting at the high school, our superintendent shared that minority student population in our fairly small, varsity blues town has doubled in the past three years.  he continued with "that's not a bad or a good thing, but what is your game plan?".  made me chuckle.

listen to:  Godspeed by Anberlin...."is this another death by misadventure, tell me what you got , what you really got"
