Thanksgiving

So, I am a day late, what else is new?
Hope you all had a lovely Thanksgiving!
My parents are visiting and arrived on Monday so I have been a bit busy between work, prepping for the big meal (thanks to help from my Mom) and hanging out with my folks.
Enjoy your weekend!

Weekend Recap

I am just getting to my weekend recap, a little late but you know what they say...

Saturday I had ballet (of course) and it was fun except we had a pretty tough combination in the end with a turn in it and I just wasn't getting it. I hate those moments where you are expected to move in unison with a group and you don't get the combo right until the last minute. Once I got it, it was time to try it on the other side. Geeze. I wasn't the only one though, I had company which made me feel better. I felt like I was a little disconnected brainwise on Saturday morning too which could have been part of it. Anyway, class was great. I knew I was going to be sore and boy I was right. I have an ingrown toe nail on the right side too - ouchie!

After class, went home, showered, stripped the bed, got laundry together and packed a bag and headed down to San Jose with Tim for a night with our friends Kenny and Robin. Our plan was to check out the new Whole Foods Market in San Jose and make dinner together. So we did just that. We made homemade pizzas and drank some great wine. The boys stayed up playing wii into the wii hours of the morning. Sunday morning, I was super excited to check out the Home Goods store. I always see their ads, but have never been and there is one down in San Jose so we went to check it out. I got a couple cake plates for a great price and some holiday wrapping paper.

Sunday night Tim and I got home, made the bed (I love fresh sheets!), took showers and went to sleep, ready for yet another week of work.

Hope you all had a great weekend and are having fun prepping for Thanksgiving!

It Happened One Night

Last night to be exact.

Remember this post about me running into Katita Waldo? It happened again, at the same little grocery store as last time right by my house, we must be neighbors.

This time I was in line to pay and she walked into the store. I wanted to jump and down and let everyone know that my SF Ballet hero just entered the store. I wanted everyone to know who she was. But everyone just went on with their business, except for me. I was in line to pay and realized I forgot bananas so I went to the back of the store and there she was in the produce section. I looked at her straight in the eye and said, "Hi" and gave her a smile. That was about it, but what I wanted to say was, "SFB is not going to be the same company this year without you (she retired after last season). You are such a great dancer and you are so inspiring and make everything look effortless." I said nothing, just hi and smiled and walked away...chicken!

Maybe next time I will say something. I hope there is a next time and it isn't as far away as the last time was.

Katita Waldo, if you every google your name and find this post, I am not a stalker. I am actually a nice person and I think we should have tea, we wouldn't have to talk ballet I swear.

Currently Loving...

Ballet has brought back my super love for Janet Jackson! We use her music to warm up in class (along with Michael Jackson, BeeGee's and Jamiroquai) and it makes me so happy!
This song is so much better than some of the crap that is out there now. Sing it Janet!
I remember when I got a Janet Jackson (Control) cassette tape in my stocking one Christmas and played the heck out of it in my room on my pink cassette player. That is where some of my signature dance moves originated...ha ha!

Giants Victory Parade

Yes, I went.

Yes, it was insane.

Yes, it was HOT outside.

Yes, it was FUN!

No, I couldn't see anything.

Yes, I should have staked out my space earlier.

The good thing was, I was alone, so I could easily move around and not worry about loosing anyone. I made friends in the crowd, everyone was super nice and so happy! I generally don't like crowds so this would normally give me a ton of anxiety, but I faced it and went. I felt like I had to, when is this going to happen again? It was fun to be a part of it. Could the weather have been any better? I think not.

World Series

Congratulations to the home team! It has been so much fun watching more baseball than usual at our house! Parade downtown tomorrow, very exciting. The city was insane last night, you all should have heard it!
