It’s been a little too long since I’ve posted, so I’m going to attempt to sum up the last couple of weeks in brief(ish) impressions. — Was at Valley Fair in the food court. Watched a couple of teenage girls eat what looked like McSushi. Listened in on the chat about how one girl’s ex […]

Not only can’t they shoot properly…
I have to share this snippet of an IM conversation I just had: Friend: how are you doing? Bonkskeeper: pretty well, thanks! Bonkskeeper: went tango-ing last night and it was fun Friend: it’s fun to watch Tango…looks scarey to do Bonkskeeper: it’s not really scary… unless your leader really sucks Bonkskeeper: and even beginners generally […]

self-indulgent
I was going to write about how I feel about something horrible happening to my best friend. But it’s not about me. Bear, you know I love you, and that I’m here in whatever way you need me. Currently, “here” is work. I was going to bitch about work. Instead I am going to spend […]

I’m not complaining!
So I was panicked. I got my W-2 from work and looked at my Fed withholding and thought “Oh, shit. I’m so screwed.” It just looked like the payroll company hadn’t withheld enough taxes. Nowhere near enough. So tonight I hopped on TurboTax to see how bad the slaughter was going to be. …drumroll please… […]

Circles and Swing-Outs
Tonight a circle was closed. And it was a Good Thing TM. ;P To be honest, it’s less of a circle, and more like a swing-out. Do it forward the first time, and then finish by reversing it. Safe-Dancing-Guy and I talked. It was a version of the first time we went out together in […]

Have I mentioned lately…
…how much I love dancing?????? I had such a good time tonight. I’m pleasantly tired, and expect I’ll get some good sleep. I also have a fantastic baguette sandwich (ham and brie — sooooo healthy ;P) from this new French restaurant that just opened near where I teach. Oh simple pleasures 🙂

drunk post # 2
Ok. So I’m not exactly drunk. But I’m at least tipsy enough to have to concentrate a bit on typing. I am empty. Yes, it’s partially (mostly) because I’ve stopped dating safe-dancing-guy and I’m already noticing a hole in my life. But also it’s that we had a Thursday Debauch tonight. With people that are […]

on a good note
I started Pilates again yesterday, which was fantastic. I’m doing private lessons for a bit to get my form back, and then I’ll do group classes to stay on top of it. Teaching has been going well, too. My classes this month have really fun students, and I’ve already booked one private. Extra pocket money, […]

no longer safe
Yes. The time has come. Safe-dancing-guy is no longer safe and we’ve stopped dating. I’m a little more sad about this than I thought I would be. Me with all my careful walls. He still wants to “talk” but I can’t imagine that things will change. He doesn’t know what he wants… doesn’t know if […]

*click* *click* *click*
Oh I’m hoooooooommmmeeeee! Finally. Was supposed to be home Monday night, but got stuck in Green Bay (which I now pronounce correctly if I really try — and yes, there is a right way). I have now tailgated. The weather was lovely (around 34 deg f), the beer was flowing freely, and I got to […]
