On Pointe

Yes, I spelled pointe right. If you aren't familiar with
the term, that's what it's called when you see ballerinas
standing on their tippy toes. And this is my NEW ultimate
goal. You heard me right...I SIGNED UP FOR BALLET CLASSES
TODAY!!! I start this Thursday at Irene's School of Dance
in Silverdale. I'm SO looking forward to it!

When I was a girl (from the age of 6-13) I took ballet,
tap and jazz. But, once I hit the teen years I gave it up,
because my Mom was a bit of a stagemom and I couldn't
handle the pressure to be the best. It took all the fun
out of it. But, I think now I'm ready to try again. I
don't expect professional caliber performance from myself.
That would be like expecting a pack mule to become a
Kentucky Derby winner, but I do think it's one more way I
can learn to love my body. Dance is such a beautiful
thing. I considered enrolling Annie, too. But, I tried
putting her in dance when she was 4 and she stood in one
spot for the entire hour and refused to move. After a
month of that, I pulled her out. It obviously wasn't her
thing. If she shows an interest now, I'll consider it
since she's older. She definitely has a dancer's body even
at 6. Tall, muscular and very linear. Me? Not so much. I'm
more soft, round and curvy.

Work was slow for the most part. I spent a good chunk of
my day filing and stuffing. Filing patient charts the
front office hadn't gotten to yet and stuffing statements
into envelopes so they could be mailed. Not glamorous and
certainly not fun. What does this have to do with dental
again?

I had to cut my workout short today, so I could make time
to get my nails done. They look nice. I love being well
groomed. I'm thinking about doing something different with
my hair. I can't decide between braids or maybe a new cut
and color. My hair has gotten really long and I've been
embracing my curls lately, so it's super healthy, too. If
I do get it cut, I want it to be something that doesn't
lose much length and compliments my natural curls. I'm
thinking maybe amber or blonde highlights over my natural
light brown color. That would be nice, but I'll have a
consultation done before I settle on anything.

I'm going to go now. I'm sleepy and I know Snookums is
too. I'm looking forward to the 3 S's tonight (sex, shower
and sleep). That sounded like something a man would say,
didn't it? :) Ciao until tomorrow.
