Well, I’ve determined to my satisfaction that it’s not that I’m in swell condition beneath the blubber, it’s that the dance teacher isn’t working us very hard (and when I say “us” I mean “me” :)). I went to the gym with my ballet and tap shoes, and had myself red-faced and sweating inside of ten minutes, so…yeah. :) Yesterday, after hanging out with and son for a while, Ted and I stopped at The Corn House (I think) on Cornmarket for lunch. It clearly thinks it’s Quite Hep, but…
Author Action Figure!
Mint in box! Life size! One of a kind! Comes with her own “Captain’s Chair” keyboard prop! Costume includes “Night Shade Books” T-shirt and realistic “growing-out roots” in the favored RogueTM hairstyle. (Office set sold separately, terms and conditions may apply.) (We got our furniture today, and the sofa for my office came in a Very Large Box. Silliness ensued. I really want to use this for my author picture now!) We (and when I say “we” I mostly mean “Ted”) got the futon put together for the library, and…
dance class & other stuff
Last night one of the women at dance class told me, and heartily agreed, that I looked like I wasn’t getting any exercise. *laugh* They’re right.

I admitted that this was not nearly as vigorous a class as I’m used to, and the woman said I must exercise a lot.…
drum circle
I asked the yoga teacher yesterday if she knew if there were any drum circles or anything in Cork that I could look up. She did, but she looked very surprised that I asked. I don’t think I look like the sort of person who would ask about a drum circle. Actually, I’m quite sure I don’t. Sometimes this is a matter of consternation to me. I feel as though I ought to look more unconventional. Unfortunately, I can’t get past feeling either silly or aware that most of the…
daily life
Today’s been one of those days that feels simultaneously very busy and not at all productive. I’ve done a lot of laundry. I made dinner. I placed a grocery order. I left the house for a bit. I wrote nine pages. I cleaned the kitty litter. I’m going to yoga in a while. I called about the cooker. I watched an episode of “Heroes”. I collapsed the collapsing air bed (it decided to stop holding air at around 1:30am Sunday morning, while my parents were trying to sleep on it).…
