A Touch Up and A Little Paint!

So you've been broken and you've been hurt
Show me somebody who ain't
Yeah, I know I ain't nobody's bargain
But, hell, a little touchup
and a little paint...
You might need somethin' to hold on to
When all the answers, they don't amount to much
Somebody that you could just to talk to
And a little of that Human Touch

 - Bruce Springsteen

A little touch up and a little paint - yeah that's me!

I will say this for belly dancing - it warms you up.  We learned a step called The Camel - which is sort of an undulating pelvic thrust type of step.  Sue and I already had the giggles when Andrea (the instructor) stopped in front of me with a somewhat astonished look on her face "you are doing a really difficult move you shouldn't be able to do yet - a reverse camel"  Somehow that didn't suprise either Sue or me!  It would figure that I would be the one in the class to shimmy backwards!  Sue, around her giggles, tried to help by telling me the move was "just like having sex - you should be good at that."  By now the entire class was in fits of laughter because try as I might - and even with that (un)helpful tip from Sue - I could not get that camel to go the right way which led me to wondering out loud if the camel step wasn't the only thing I had been doing backwards for years.....

Home to a house of happy, warm children - all of whom thought it was hilarious to watch mama do the backward camel.

Dennis is going to a job interview tomorrow and to a business breakfast  - so it will be a case of being up early and doing gongyo so he can start his day based on faith not fear, and then I will get the kids off to school.  If he goes back to an office job we'll have to sort something with the kids after school but I'll cross that bridge when and if we come to it. 

I decided at work today to see if I can launch an e-zine.  I have always wanted my own magazine and starting up a paperless one seems a more sensible idea than launching into a print version in the current climate. 

I suppose at some point I should try and get some sort of theme and direction to this blog rather than just putting down what springs to mind - but it's a bit like childcare - I'll cross the bridge when and if....
