1. Discovering that Lili not only learns how to dance in my classes, she learned to teach different moves. Hubbinator & I were sitting outside with her over the weekend. Out of nowhere, she starts teaching us a Turkish step. In her little tiny voice, she says, “Ok, guys, look. Front, back, front, back… now turn, and front, back, front, back. Good. Again. Front, back…” and her little foot was going back and forth. Hee hee! It was too precious!! She helped me teach this move tonight.
2. Hot showers! I can’t believe I’ve never put this! I wore a supercute red leotard to teach in tonight. It was at the back of the drawer and I thought, “I haven’t worn this in ages!” I remember why… My body temperature skyrockets in it. I haven’t sweated that much since I hung out in a sauna! That hot shower when I got home was DELICIOSO!!
3. When my friends & loved ones sit in Hubbinator’s chair to get their hair did. 
It’s not a $$ thing. I know they’re being taken care of by someone who is not only gifted, but actually cares about the health of everyone’s hair.
4. Taking care of my mom. She does so much for so many people. She had surgery a few weeks ago and literally has to be off her feet for 6 weeks. It’s nice to do for her for a change. She’s still trying to do some things now that she has her Rollaround scooter. This is what she has. She gets up speed on this little thing, especially when Lili rides with her.
5. Consciously making positive choices in light of unpleasant circumstances. That’s all I’ll say about that. I feel really good about it, though.
6. Writing a book that I hope will change the lives of dancers. The idea came to me, and I started writing. Only one person knows about it, and that’s how it will stay until it’s published.
7. Receiving messages in dreams. The message was, “Your wildest dreams lie behind your wildest fears.” My wildest fear is pretty wild and I’m going to overcome it, if only out of curiosity to see if the dream was right. LOL
8. My Attention Deficit Disorder. Without it, my life would be boring. It should be called Attention Overload Reception. I don’t have a deficit of attention, I pay attention to everything. It’s not a disorder by any means. Where my overload has taken me has led to wondrous things.
9. Steve Ross’ Yoga. He just RULES. His show comes on Oxygen network every weekday at 5am cst. I no longer have cable, but I did manage to tape several episodes back in the day and transfer them to DVD. I’ve had some tummy issues and I’m unable to do the more strenuous exercises I’m used to, but his yoga is just what my body needs to get right again. It immediately helped.
10. New games to play. In the last week, I’ve acquired Spa Wars and Azada. These are fun games! Brain breaks from writing and the daily grind are my simple pleasures.
11. Funny episodes of X-Files. This one is with Luke Wilson and about a Texas town filled with “vampires”.
12. Babysitting my mom’s Sportage for a couple days. It’s fun to drive, even though it’s not as heavy as my Caliber. Hope Miss Sophie’s not jealous. I gave it a bath, killed a couple nests of spiders that took up residency, and for that I get to babysit. I didn’t want ma’s vehicle sitting around for 6 weeks undriven. Plus, it’s nice to have 2 cars for a minute.
13. Listening to the Party Girl soundtrack cd. The Sportage doesn’t have an auxiliary line, so I have to go old school and listen to cd’s. There are great songs on there, especially one Arabic song, and the song, “Beautiful”. The lyrics are simple… ♫ Beautiful. Hippy, hippy, trippy, trippy, goo-goo mama, get up and dance. You don’t even know who I am, I’m the girl who parties like a man. Why be ugly when you can be beee-youuuuu-tifullll? ♫ I remembered teaching poi to this song a long time ago. Good times, good times.
14. Taking a new tack in writing my articles. You’ll see.
1. History Detectives. This is a really cool show on PBS. Everyday people who acquire objects of American History have one of four detectives track down their history.
5. Z-Parties!!! They are energizing and recharging!! Hubs & I went to one this past Saturday, and we really needed it. I didn’t really feel like going because of a headache, but I set that aside to get out and socialize with loved ones. Oh, you don’t know what Z-Parties are? This’ll get you started… CLICK
1. A fresh pair of contacts! Aaaaaaaah!
