...to have been blessed with such good spoilers in my life!
Not long ago I got a surprise package of fabulous from Rosi G. And today, after my devastating (to me) doctor's appointment (just a minute), I swung by the post office to check for goodies. Besides a Christmas check from my father in Texas (which happened to be more than enough to cover the Blue Moon Fiber Arts Rockin' Sock Club I had yet to figure out how to pay for - woot!), I had a package from Valerie!! Now, the Knitter's Tea Swap is long over, so this was just a super-nice-person thing she did. I'll have to post photos tonight when I get home, but I got a splendiferous spinny surprise that I'm VERY excited about!! Thank you SO MUCH, Valerie - you made my little crusty heart feel so warm!
(Oh, about that doctor's appointment - I'm mostly better from my latest bout of nasty sinus/respiratory infection, but I had some bloodwork to go over. Turns out this little vegetarian has a cholesterol level of TWO HUNDRED AND SEVENTY. Yeah. Hurray for heritage!! S'okay, it's been high before and I managed to work it down pretty quickly - I've just gotten lazy. I'll hit up some omega-3 supplements and cut out some of the junky stuff. But man, I really hate watching what I eat, hence the devastation.)
Guess what else? I'm a bellydancer now! (Of course I'm sure you realize we're using an extraordinarily loose interpretation of the word "bellydancer" here.) I started classes last night. Hopefully this will go much more successfully than our ballroom dance classes. (Uh, we attended two classes in total, but halfway through the second one I got upset at a mean old lady, yelled at the instructor, and left the room in tears. It was not a good experience - next time we'll definitely go to a different school.) I may not be a particularly good bellydancer, but I'm having a grand ol' time! And the instructor, Suspira - she's the textbook definition of a "firecracker"!
My folks decided to go on the fiber cruise with us. (They, like Travis, will not be partaking of the fibery part.) They've already booked a suite - I guess that settles it, we're definitely going! Though we'll get our own cabin, for what should be obvious reasons. >;-)
Finally - thanks to everyone for the well-wishes on the TV, and the reinforcement that we did the right thing in keeping it. Travis agrees heartily. I'm getting there...
Aww, you're welcome. Hope you enjoy!
ReplyDeleteMy cholesterol is super-high too, probably hereditary but my eating isn't helping, nor is my fatliness. I guess we'll all have to hit the healthy wagon for our New Year's resolution. DARN it. Anyway, empathies!!
Cool re the bellydancing class! Have fun!!
