Recap:

[sihayadesigns]

This weekend's Charm City Tribal bellydance show went off wonderfully! The house was sold out, the emceeing was fantastic, the CCT/Lilam ladies did an excellent job at organizing things, many of us did our first solos, and everything pretty much looked awesome.

Here is a link to everyone's dances: 2011 Bellydance Extravaganza. My solo is under the cut, for those of you who didn't get the friendslist sneak peek:

I do believe that from here on out, I'm going to use "Sihaya" as a dance name. I've been hemming and hawwing about this for awhile now, and the more I think about it, the more I think that the me onstage is a persona. My public face. So I think I'm going to make an official switch soon.

Other than that, things I have been thinking about:

-- Jewelry. Update sometime next week. Wirework, some PMC, some resin.

-- I need to lose winter weight IMMEDIATELY.

-- Major decisions are about to be made at home. Jason is seriously considering taking a new job. I would even say he is leaning TOWARDS a new job, since his current job seems to be a "one step forward, two steps back" sort of thing any time he thinks he's making forward momentum. The job he's considering would be a blessing, financially, but possibly a setback in other ways. So it's in the air while he decides what's most important to him right now. If he does take the new job, there's a possibility for us to move closer to DC eventually, and I'm not very happy about that. But we'll see.

-- ALL YOUR CHOCOLATE ARE BELONG TO ME.

-- My state Senator, Bobby Zirkin, is awesome. He voted for marriage equality in MD and sent me a nice little letter about how he voted on all the proposed amendments to the bill. He's pretty great, and I'm thinking of volunteering on his next campaign.

-- IS IT SPRING YET? YOU GUYS, I NEED IT TO BE SPRING.

Spring?

We just got snow here in the Seattle area--AGAIN.

I'm beyond ready for spring.

We got a lot this weekend, too.

I got to be in the senate chamber today for part of that debate. Pretty amazing.

My crocus still hasn't bloomed.

It will be spring soon. The Mockingbirds (almost typed Mockingjays, not anywhere near as nice a portent) have started clearing their throats and perching dramatically on the rooftops. The Canada geese are blocking traffic. The sparrows are having baths in the meltwater. It will be spring soon.

Ditto the Winter Weight. I don't know about you, but I always seem to get heaviest at the end of February, and then I start to drop weight til July, then it starts coming back :(

The seasonal cycle!

[sihaya09.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I drop it all once I start hiking.

PS. Something tells me this would be our usual Thursday/week to get together, but I am exhsuted from the week - want to get together next Thursday instead?

Brad tells me there is a $5 revival showing of "Beatle Juice" at the Charles that night. Does this interest you as much as it does me?

I can't do next Thursday. I'm teaching a private lesson. Maybe Wednesday?

[17flyingfish.livejournal.com]

HMM. Wednesday night I have class.

Monday?

I know you've been asked a million times probably, but where do you get those lovely hair gardens you wear?

I found your journal/jewelry through reedrover. I enjoy reading a lot of it, and though I should de-lurk before friending.
