And a one, and a two...
Apr. 8th, 2005 09:21 amYe gods I'm out of shape, but at least I'm back on track towards it again. The back held up during class but only because I sat out most of it. The new shortened "Soiree Odalisque" is still a bit too much for me, but I'll get back to it. For now, though, it's awfully nice not to have to stress about the competition later this month.
E- and I zilled and offered feedback on what we were seeing. We also offered to cheer for the troupe in the audience at the People's Choice competition. I'm hoping to be able to help dress folks, handle veils if need be and watch over purses and stuff while they're competing. Sort of a dance roadie, as it were :)
I also ended up volunteering myself to organize E-'s baby shower in May because, as we all know, I can't control my volunteering impulses. Fortunately the troupe seems slightly more manageable a group than the last few parties I was in charge of. At least there are fewer cats to herd this time.
Speaking of cats I've kind of also volunteered to help a neighbor in my complex. He's going away for 5 weeks and needs someone to watch over his cats. I'm hoping that by doing this I'll have a local cat sitter myself when I need one. Not having to worry about getting someone the gate key to the complex would be so nice. He's coming over tonight to discuss details and hopefully I'll get to meet his kitties.
Also the restaurant we're having our troupe lunch at tomorrow sounds absolutely amazing. It's traditional Persian food and their vegetarian section is HUGE. My gods I was overwhelmed just looking at it. As we have a Persian troupemate we'll also get some great advice on what to try. I'm very much looking forward to it!
