Needing to work longer hours this week in order to head to Pittsburgh on Friday.  Was going to articulate this entry more, but something happened to my motivation tonight.  I kind of felt this way Saturday night as well.  Weird mood swing every other day.  How odd.

Performing Viennese Again

April 19th, 2007

Last weekend, I ran into one person on Saturday and another on Sunday who both informed me that there was a Viennese Waltz performance coming up, similar to the one I participated in last September. I realized, sadly, that I never got around to blogging about it, but performing the routine was so much fun the first time that I couldn’t resist seeing how it might be, for the second. Showed up for the rehearsal on Monday and the next thing I knew, the rest of my week was filled with rehearsal times. Join Monday, rehearse Wednesday and Thursday, perform Friday. Easy, right? :: toothy grin ::

Non dancing road trip

April 16th, 2007

Wow… I can actually drive somewhere and for once not have it to do anything with dancing.  Where did I go and what did I do?  I’ll update once pictures are available.

Surprise adventuring follow-ups

April 11th, 2007

Got invited in a carpool with four girls heading up to Seattle Friday night for a blues dancing house party.  How could I possibly turn that down?

Serious R’n'R needed

April 9th, 2007

Easter Swing: danced until 5:30am Saturday morning, and then 6:40am on Sunday morning.  Need to spend time recovering in order to function properly at work.  Someday I’ll get to actually blogging some content instead of event updates.  Someday.

First LA, now Seattle

April 5th, 2007

What luck!  Made plans to stay in a hotel room with 3 Oregon dancers and arranged to ride up to Seattle with two girls.  All in a day’s work.

Another great Blues weekend

April 2nd, 2007

Los Angeles was awesome.  Was great reuniting with friends and then seeing how new ones interact with old.

I’d blog more about it… but I’m finding myself caught up in another adventure possibility.  Easter Swing in Seattle this weekend.  Should I or shouldn’t I?

LA, here I come

March 28th, 2007

It’s settled: I’m renting a car and taking a road trip down to Los Angeles this weekend.  When the car leaves Portland, the passengers will consist of myself and three other female passengers.  It’s tough living my life… :-)

Next Adventure

March 25th, 2007

People are trying to coerce me to go to Los Angeles next weekend for Do Something Blue. The issue is… I’m bending to their will.  Seems so wrong yet feels so exciting and good.  Let’s see what develops.

Not Making the Time

March 20th, 2007

So much has been happening, and I haven’t taken the time to blog it all.  On one hand, it’s good because life feels exciting.  On the other, my lack of recording things will make the highlights harder and harder to recall.  Contrary to how it may appear, I have stopped and smelled a few flowers along the way.  Hopefully, I’ll be able to finish up a lot of backlogged entries soon and make it worthwhile to visit my blog again.
