bethlakshmi- Finished Eleanor's choli - that is the LAST choli to make pre-war for someone who isn't me.
(a huge relief, because I know I won't get mad at me, or be in dire straights if I don't make cholis for me - I have plenty)
- Eleanor got the Lakshmi DVD to work, as well as final testing on a CD version that plays on computers, but not DVD players. We had a few Mac <-> PC problems. and she's all happy because she learned new stuff about how to use her spiffy Mac. She's considering it a double bonus - dancy learning and Mac-y learning. Even better, when people who help me enjoyed doing the helping.
- Good dance class. I sucked it up harshly on the new piece and a year old piece, but the pushpanjali rocked. She just said "better" but with a lot of emphasis. I told her I beat the sucky out. She said "do that with the year old piece, too". No serious critique - just do the same thing for all the lesson peices... more and more and more.
- Had dinner with my teacher. This is a special treat for me. I've only had dinner there once before. She's a brahmin from Karnataka - so vegetarian - and so she cooks southern Indian food, which is nearly impossible to find in restaraunts in the states. Better yet, she doesn't make it "white people compatible" the way restaurauts do, and of course pan-to-table is always yummiest. She just toned down the red chili for me. AND I get to eat and kibbitz with her - also special. She doesn't open up much, and I don't pry, so any chance I get to become closer to friends and less like teacer/student is a treasured moment for me.
- Back ache cured by the killer combo of Motrin and a Cinnamon Mocha Latte - who knew that floofy coffee drinks make Motrin more effective. Well... at least I won't be er... indisposed... for Pennsic. I hate this part of being a girl. Could I give it up and have the switch turned off and just avoid having kids? I'll take a pass on menopause, too, thanks. That doesn't look like any fun, either.
- Employee Appreciation Day today. I will be assimilated... er... appreciated. GD Appreciation involves a raffle, booze and hor d'oevres. Any day the company buys me booze and allows me to drink during work hours while sitting in sunshine is a good day.
