women's history month reading

so i've sent in to be considered for a reading with a bunch of women i don't know for this women's history month thing. on a lark. i don't know why i sent in for it. maybe because i'm foolishly brave in many ways.

i don't really consider the ramifications of doing something until after i do it. but also i think i have a lot to say to women.

i should be writing or reading for school, but here i am. i don't know.

i've had a wonderful day, it was spring like weather and bunny even got to go outside, he didn't want to come back in, poor thing. i wouldn't either. but he's so cute, running across the snow up the deck stairs and opening the doors himself, my daughter taught him how to do that.

she's been sick the past week and her birthday was woefully boring, the worst yet, she said.

so we'll celebrate later. she doesn't even feel up to riding tomorrow.

it's tough watching your kid battle sickness. this flu just sucks. fortunately, i didn't get it.

i made her breakfast this morning, trying to be all nurturing for her bday, and she puked it all up. so much for good intentions.

i keep thinking about that belly dance i have to do. i'm looking forward to it, and the hardest part will be finding the right song. you need something not too long, not too short, and varying in tempo. i think blister in the sun will do, it makes me shimmy whenever i hear it.

i tried a few metallica songs, but they tend to write really long songs and moving that fast for three and a half minutes is just exhausting. i'm not up to it, yet. but i will do that someday.

i'll have to study tribal dance in conjunction with this little performance, and then i have to decide where and when to do it. the sooner, the better i say. imagine i'll have my daughter tape me on her camera. she's good at making those little downloadable videos. kids these days.

i'm looking forward to tomorrow. and today i wanted to yell, i'm going to be an old woman some day! and celebrate it. sometimes that outcome looks questionable, but not today. today i'm signing up for the whole ride. and enjoying myself.

peace.
