Talking in my sleep

Two nights. The first time it happened I sat up in bed and said, "I don't want to go up the chimney!" LJR replied, "I should think not."

The second time it happened I sat straight up in bed and said, "there are so many bugs in here" and apparently I was scratching a lot.

This is a strange new habit.

Green Superfood

why would i drink Green Superfood? good question.  it is full of things that are not delicious, but they are good for you.  Inside you can find: aquatic algae, barley grass, wheat grass, alfalfa, kale, dandelion, kelp, sea lettuce, ginger, aloe vera, and some other things that are unclear to me.  Reason: trying to be super healthy in 2012.

To Meat, or not to Meat?

i have recently watched some pretty horrifying movies about food.  Food Inc. and Food Matters.  i recommend watching them and seeing how they affect you.  I had not eaten meat in 3 weeks (well red meat or chicken, i had salmon).  But today, LJR and i found a place in Astoria called BareBurger.  they serve organic grassfed meats and we had burgers!  it actually felt fun to go to a restaurant for dinner, order a vanilla milkshake and a burger and know that what i was getting was organic, grassfed, and sustainable. 

Stood Up

it is not often that i am stood up, actually i can't even think of one time.  i have never been stood up by a date, i was not stood up at my wedding (yay!), never stood up by girlfriends for coffee.... but today i was stood up big time!  i was supposed to teach a Pilobolus class for The School of New Technology in Harlem, and not a single student showed up.  It is possible that none of the kids signed up for the program, it is also possible that they forgot.  the worst part was that the principal would not talk to us.  he was locked in his office on the phone and would not come out to give us any type of explanation.  it was really crazy. really speaks highly of the NY Public School System.

and now i am worried about my job for Dec.  I had 15 days of teaching lined up, and if this program falls through... does that mean that my paycheck does also?  or will my contract protect me? who knows!
but today was crazy, and i was looking forward to teaching those rugrats!

Surprise

You know you are loved when someone goes out of their way to make you feel really special.  My husband did that for me last weekend.  I had shows in Boston and he surprised me by showing up at the Mexican Restaurant I was eating at after the show.  He walked in with flowers! I yelled, "what are you doing here?!?" He said, "I just really wanted some tacos!"  everybody laughed.  How great is that.  He drove over 4 hours to come and support me in my work, and spend some extra time with me.  He had to leave early Sunday morning, did the drive home alone, and went straight to work all day! crazy! gotta love him!

Happy Fall

Happy Fall everyone.  it was a beautiful, warm Fall day today.  i got to spend 20 minutes outside, and i am grateful for that time! the rest of the day i was in a theater, dancing... also not so bad!

recently

these are some photos from a recent shoot that I did with my gal Abbey Rosener.  thanks Abbey!

today was a grueling day. i danced my butt off for two hours straight while most everyone else sat on the floor and tried not to fall asleep....

i am also having a dilemma about taking Pilobolus teaching work, or waiting to see if there might be more work for me to do with ms. barton.... but i do not want to assume anything..... ah free lance life!
