Some days... you just feel like this...

Completely strung out on cold meds and blissfully happy. Thinking you have all the energy in the world because you consumed your first cup of coffee in four days without gagging. Happy because you can now hear 85% of what's going on, as apposed to just 50%. But - then the ultimate crash comes... right around after you arrive at your dance studio. And then all you want to do is go back to sleep.

Guess I'm not quite there yet.

OMG, work faster...

Good news: I just have 1 ear infection. Not two.

Bad news: I still feel like there is a train running through my head.

Consolation: I have lots of time to catch up with Netflix Instant Play.

Newport Beach Day 2

Well... At least the weather is nice...

Hello from sunny Newport Beach! The weather seems to be the only thing cooperating at this event. And I can't hear out of my left ear because I woke up with more cold symptoms and flew on a plane. Woo. The flight home is gonna suck. And it's now 8:30 pm and I want to just sleep. Can I go home now?

Downtownnnnn

Le sigh...

Tea

Tea: check
Fire: check
How I Met Your Mother: check
Here's hoping this cold goes away soon...

A rare, peaceful moment...

"What are we gonna do tonight, Brain?"

"The same thing we do every night, Pinky. Try to take over the world!"

That's as close as I'm gonna get...

Moon Rise

So... I had a little help from hubby on this one. I think this is the first photo in the series where we actually had to bust out our wonky tripod. (Mental note... upgrade/hubby birthday present...)

Anyway, another exercise in patience and humility.

Enjoying the sun

Dear City of Sacramento...

Please clean up your damn mess. This water leak was reported in November and our dead lawn has been sporting these un-cool orange utility flags for way too long. Fix!

He's kind of a ham...

Still no names yet. Though - I've taken to calling him Munchkin around the house. That name is going to stick if I don't come up with something fast.

Lucy still hates him, so he's been confined to the spare bedroom for most of the day.

M finally got some time with him because he's be gravitating toward me for the last 24 hours. He's a bit of an acrobat. Falls of the bed every so often. And LOVED that I had a camera in his face for 5 minutes.

Lucy's New Brother... Maybe...

Don't Stop

This was actually my back-up image. I fully intended to have my camera at the studio's "Cowboys vs. Ninjas" party. But totally forgot it. Oops.

Electric Snowflake

Interesting contrast

M watches TV. Lucy watches you...

Cha cha heels...

Because this song just gets stuck in your head... well, and the routine is pretty awesome too.

Considering a paid an arm and leg for my new shoes, I fully expect them to dance by themselves.

Mouse in the House...

There is a mouse in the house. He has a sweet tooth. He likes to eat only part of a cupcake (or any sort of sweet) and turn the eaten side to the back of the fridge so no one thinks anyone ate it. >:(

He's about 5'8" and wears glasses. Let me know if you catch him in action.

All Before Noon...

What? It's five o'clock somewhere... We had a Napa Wine train trip reserved for 6. They had a full bar. The End.

Sadly... this occurred...

I felt really sick after my lunch. But, still managed to chomp down a chocolate cake. I figured I wasn't used to my medium (um... rare?) steak. No - the infusion set on my pump bent in half, thus causing any insulin I gave from 10 am to 4:00 pm to not be distributed to my blood stream. So of course, I feel like ass driving home from Napa. Get stuck in severe traffic in Dixon. Can't figure out why my face feels numb. Pull over. WTF???!!!!! Thank goodness I had a few left over shots with me. I am still stuck in traffic! I'm gonna go Keto in my car! [minor panic attack]

Call M. Get traffic update. Clears up in Davis. I am stuck behind every.slow.driver.in.Sacramento. [/end panic attack.] Start doing 85 on freeway... or at least I try. Finally get home. M has the garage door already open and my supplies on the table.

Blurred vision, no desire to eat, downed a half gallon of water... and still made it to Firehouse for my lesson with Ben.

And I'm still over 300. Argh!!!

Little Red Corvette

Still has that new car smell. And two short trips burned through an 1/8th of a tank. Practical? No. But it was still fun to ride in. :D

Also watched "Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure" for the first time. Now, I keep referring to bad stuff as "bogus." Somebody please let me watch something intelligent.

Lavender

They say it soothes the senses. Needed it today after pacing around my office waiting for my doctor to email me back. Still no x-ray results. So still no idea what's wrong with my wonky shoulder.

It's been a while. Create your own storyline...

I haven't done a "create your own caption" in a while. So, have fun...

Cat Eyes

This is kind of how I looked after my doc administered a cortisone shot to my ailing shoulder.

Repetition

Why????

Not sure what is more ridiculous. The shirt concept or the $24 price tag...

Year of the BUNNY!

Started the new year off by having brunch with some of the friends I didn't get to see/dance with last night. Had more sweets and champagne. And some of this bunny cake. ;)

Now I have a stomach ache and belated hangover. Thank goodness I have nothing else planned today. Guess the Christmas decorations are staying up for a bit longer.
