(hopefully) new adventures

the other night, i went out with my librarian friend lynn to finally catch up on things. we had a cup of coffee at the newly opened neighborhood bakery. i ordered and tasted my first ever red velvet cake.

i didn't like it.

give me mernel's chocolate cake anytime.

or cappucino's tiramisu.

i found out that lynn takes belly dancing classes at the community high school. i was interested of course.

never mind that my arms and legs are not friends. the only time these two work in harmony is when i played basketball in high school and college.

never mind that i really can't dance. amy has a term for what we do. we chair dance. never mind that my body is not pliable nor graceful at all.

so anyway, i went to lynn's class to inquire for a possible spot in the summer session which starts in july 10. it's a one hour once a week class for six weeks. i'm excited. i did warm my gorgeous teacher that i can't dance. she laughed and told me she'll have me grooving in no time.

i asked my good friend cleo to join me, she's as excited as i am...


my next adventure involves a new younger guy.

jack.

jack is my new 24" magna mountain bike.


i don't want to take a picture of him yet because as usual, my apartment's a mess. but he's actually colored lilac. Z and I bought jack at his local target store. jack has been gathering dust in my living room because Z made me promise to wait for him so i can have my lessons again. he's scared i might hurt myself. awww, sweet right? the bad girl in me wants to take jack out for a ride, but the idea of a scraped knee or a mild concussion has stopped me enough. soft.


the plan is to get me on the bike so i can ride to summer camp as much as i can. wow, pretty tall order considering my camp is on the hill. good luck.

i'll tell you how the biking lessons go.

i'll be a year older in two days.

man.
