Been a crazy busy person. Good thing I don’t have a job! I KID! Still looking. But in the mean time good things are a brewing. Decluttering, purging, spring cleaning, what have you. Feels good and I found out that you can actually sell used wine corks in the process. Who knew? Rebuilt my bus’ [...]
I have a job interview tomorrow. Second one in five months. I met with a friend and former co-worker today who happens to work there. We had Mexican mochas and talked about VWs and our old TV station and reminisced about something that no longer exists. Wait, this sounds kinda gloomy. Our meeting actually inspired [...]
So the new job went away. Only 4 months. I loved my job, who I worked with, my morning bike commute. It was perfect. It was announced the day before I was leaving for Burning Man…low ratings, focusing on the afternoon newscast. WTF? How ’bout better writing and less bullshit breaking news? Be careful what [...]

About the same time my hooping life will start kicking in…first with a hoop booth at the Alberta Art Hop and then 5 days in North [...]
Looked at a beautiful dance studio today. Open, light, amazing energy, good vibes from the studio manager, great neighborhood. Came home and crunched numbers. *GULP* Mama’s gonna need a part-time gig in order to follow her bliss. I could break even if I had 10 students, maybe make a little money if I had 15 [...]

I love the anticipation!** **when [...]
