It’s been at least a year since I’ve had a regular sleep schedule. I had a manic episode and didn’t feel the need to sleep more than a couple of hours every other night – this went on for about 2-3 months at least – I don’t remember. Now my body and brain are so programmed not to sleep it’s hard for me to actually go to bed. I’ve discovered that if I just lie down I will fall asleep. I’m trying very very hard to correct this problem. I think now I’m in a constant state of sleep deprivation, and all because I “forget” or don’t want to go to bed, not because I can’t sleep.

My friend Judi is teaching me how to hula hoop. I just bought one on-line and it looks like a huge round candy cane…..red and silver. It’s beautiful and I’m actually able to practice hooping in my livingroom (it’s too cold to practice my hooping outside right now). I always hula hoop to music, sometimes Alanis Morissette, or something with a latin beat. Hula Hooping is a lot like dancing but it’s a great workout, too. I just need to keep practicing and practicing and practicing. I tend to put off practicing a lot and could use a push or a cheer. Here’s a link that has a lot of hula hooping information: http://www.BodyHoops.com/

There are also some really amazing videos of people hooping on http://www.youtube.com/ .....anyone out there interested in hula hooping? Island Girl Dance Fitness Workout for Beginners, Island Girl Dance Fitness Workout

What a language.......it was my major in college. I travelled to Italy once during my undergrad years and spoke enough to get around. I’ve forgotten so much from lack of usage ma non voglio dimenticare tutti della lingua italiana che ho imperato nell’universita.
