What Happened in the last 8 months?

Um...lotsa stuff!

I improved my uke skills & am now practicing with a group of 3 other players, Julia, Karen, and Carla. Whee! Words can't express how nice it is to be able to play music with other people after years of just practicing on my own.

My hair got better.

I put in a succulent garden in the back yard.

Jossie, Jason, Jake & Jonah moved to Alameda. I miss them!

Rose started meeting more other dogs, and is continuing to improve her social skills. Also she loves her red ball. Which is now a yellow ball.

I tried wearing high heels for a few months, and have now given it up as a bad idea, since I am not actually fond of crippling pain. Oh, and I stubbed my right pinky toe really really bad and have only been able to wear flip-flops for the last month or so.

And probably some other stuff has happened, but I forget what.

Whut?

I was thinking today that there are a lot of things I would like to do if only I could get off my butt long enough to do them...everything from going back to horseback riding to jumping out of an airplane (though to be honest I don't actually want to jump out of an airplane but it sounds nice and extreme.)

I'd like to bake some cookies.

I'd like to move to the beach.

I'd like to drive a car.

And then there are things that I am going to do--there is no doubt, I did them yesterday, I will likely do them again tomorrow or some time soon: eat breakfast, go to work, buy new clothes, take out the trash. Walk the dog (she is so cute!)

The thing is I am wondering now if it is time to convert some of the things I want to do into some of the things I am going to do?

Oooh, I can feel myself oozing into sluggish apathy at the very thought. Time to take a nap.

The picture is of Jelly, my friend Karen's dog. He is named after the famous jazz pianist and composer Jelly Roll Morton.
