I needed the weeks I've been "absent" to deal with life. Sometimes even a blog is one piece of luggage too many, and it has to do a few round on the carousel. Hope you enjoyed the ride.
So, what's been up at our household? Silliness.
Our American Eskimo has decided that he owns the neighborhood ... making all the neighbors, joggers, bicyclists, walkers, and gypsy bands of children the ultimate security threat. The TSA needs him, as he could easily bark any terrorist into submission. I may be sending him off to them REAL soon.
Summer ballet intensive is over, but since we live with a dance addict, dance is not. Seriously, it's not. One of my favorite parts of summer consisted of the two months we did NOT have dance. Silly mom, those days are over. I knew that we were going to be facing another summer intensive at Ballet West next year, but the resident ballerina has recently discovered there are tons of dance workshops out there. All of which would be "awesome" to attend. Right now we're doing a workshop taught by a dancer from Odyssey Dance Theater in Utah. The blessing is that it is only 2 days a week and is being taught here. Now she's found another workshop being run by the Ririe-Woodbury Dance Company. It's in Salt Lake. I hate Salt Lake. I hate driving in Salt Lake. The silliness? I'll probably be driving in Salt Lake irregardless. That's what happens when you have a child pursuing a dream. You suck it up and do silly things.
We went to see "The Amazing Spiderman" the other day. There's one scene of a fight in a library ... the battle is going on it the background, while in the foreground and old guy in headphones is totally oblivious to what is going on. Bailee turned to us and said - "It's Grandma!" I'm glad everyone else was laughing, because we totally cracked up.
I recently got what amounts to my 4th job. I'll be working as a copywriter. Ideal, since I can do it on my own time, but it's probably still silly. I'm hopeful that it will work into something I can do if I ever retire.
Mitt Romney was in Jackson Hole this past week for a fundraiser. $40,000 a person. I think that's silly. Guess I'm crazy, but I keep thinking about how much good that money could do. Instead, it will be spent on political ads. And yes, I feel the same about Obama's fundraiser at Sarah Jessica Parker's. All silly.
We had a brush fire near our house, started by people shooting off illegal fireworks. Silly. Stupid too. We were lucky that the firefighters were able to put it out.
So, we're living the silly life,but we're juggling it all.
