Women. What could you say? Who made 'em?

Sorry to disappear yesterday, but there was the plumber to be dealt with and tamales to be made and I just thought that a day off might be in order. So I took a mental health day and accomplished pretty much everything I wanted to and I'm feeling very good about it today. Very smug even.

What also makes me smug is that I'm now seeing more dead snails than living ones in the mornings, go me!

Now on to some public service announcements:

This weekend, anyone who's not doing the NERO two-day event might want to consider attending Rakkasah for what should prove to be some damn fine belly dancing, great vendors, and superb music. I believe it's $12 to attend, and [livejournal.com profile] esmerel, [livejournal.com profile] aelfsciene and I are planning to attend on Saturday.

Next, big news, our next class recital will be on August 4 (Sunday) at Shamishiri Restaurant (1392 S. Bascom Ave.). Not only will Ezzy and I be performing, but we're proud to announce the debut of a brand new blue-haired (though she may be red-haired by then) dancer who's sure to be a huge success. So anyone interested in attending you can let me know or just call the restaurant (408-249-5617) and make reservations. The performance will be at 6:30 p.m. and you'll want to make reservations by this weekend if possible.

The big news is that on Saturday August 10 there's going to be a huge bash at Menara featuring 13 dancers! Now I'm planning to make a reservation for my table tomorrow, so anyone who wants to sit with me and the gals let me know by tomorrow morning. If you'd like to make your own reservations you can call them at 408-453-1983, be sure to mention that it's for Ireena's and Lulu's birthday show and as the show starts at 6:30 I'd recommend getting your reservations for 6 (you'll want to be seated and have ordered when the dancing starts). Please, even if you think I know that you want to attend, tell me again anyway, I want a firm list before I make the reservation.

Crunches: 85
Belly dance activities: tons!

No idea on the quote this time, sorry. :)

But here's the 'reminder' that I should be on your Magic List.

Thank you for the reminder, dear, is that for Menara I assume?
And the quote you really should know, the film is in your collection at home }:)

In *my* collection, or Cyrrie's? I have in no way, shape, or form, even scratched the surface of his movies. :)

Where do I sign up for the August 4 thing?

The contact info for Shamishiri is above, however if you would like to do some sort of a group reservation, let me talk to the gals and see if they're interested in getting one.

Well, I'll definitely be redhaired by then (hope I like it!), and I'm quite sure huge can be used as a descriptive term, but I'm not so sure about the success part. ^_~

I keep listening to the music in the car, which is dangerous when I start paying more attention to the steps (you can twitch your hips and ribs in the right directions, at least) and zill movements than the driving. I was even doing this in bed before sleeping (when I, er, woke up at 3am and got undressed and did the eyedrops and shields and all). I think I'm fully Into It.

Yay! You're going to have such fun performing, I promise you. And just think how tremendous the exercise is, it's also one of the few forms of exercise that's both enjoyable and useful. Soon you'll be taking multiple classes too, mwah-ha-ha }:)

1) Do we wanna carpool saturday?
2) Group reservation probably would be what Merlin would go for. That way he doesn't sit by himself. ;)

[identity profile] ebonlock.livejournal.com 2002-07-25 04:21 pm (UTC)(link)
1. Definitely.
2. I'm assuming the reservation you're talking about is for the recital, yes? If so Mark has expressed an interest, but that's the only person so far.

Gah. Scattered. Best I wait until that weekend to attempt a reservation, else I'll forget it entirely. And wouldn't that be dire.

I just called and confirmed Stu's info that the number in your post is incorrect; it should be 408-998-0122 (according to Yahoo! Yellow Pages).

Reservation for 12 (!!) made.

Yay belly dancing!!!

I made reservations for Graham and I; if anyone wants to add in, let me know and I'll see if they have space.
