Blog 1: A Rainy Day

Rainy days are perfect days to do nothing. Sometime it's productive nothings- like starting a blog. The irony in all this is that I didn't take full advantage of today....

Let me explain further:

Due to a stomach flue, or food poisoning, or whatever it is... mixed with this foul weather... I whole heartedly DID NOT pay attention to my sex and society class on Intersectionality, or whatever it was.

On top of this, I failed to go to my last belly dance class- the secret here is that, even though I was vomiting, occasionally and sporadically, the true reason I did not go to this class was pure insecurity.

What can I say? I was having a bad hair day?

No, it was just that the last day was the performance day- we were supposed to stuff our thick bumbling bodies into our petite teacher's extra costumes- and represent what we'd learned over the course of what... 9 classes? In summary, I felt far too inept at the dance to attempt such an activity.

So, I guess what I'm meaning to say is that I took this day for granted. Upon realizing this, however, I was inspired to start this blog. An attempt at daily blogging, an attempt at appreciate each day- no matter how boring it was.

Let me end with a note listing some of the things I did appreciate today:

Hang time with my friend Dani (I know her from going abroad in Spain)

Black soft furry kittens (and their "Pussy Pleaser" toys- can you believe they are actually named this?)

The rain being a good excuse for laziness

Netflix instant replay and a German movie about a kid with Autism

Chris loomis and his soup making abilities

Dexter, the cuddle muffin doggy
