. . . and it’s been bothering the hell out of me. i haven’t thought about it in a while, but i realize i’d really like to bring back that part of me. it used to loom so large in my life that i can’t help but think the dimming of my creativity over the years has been a large part of why i’ve felt, well, empty for quite a while now. i bought this book used a long time ago, but it has sat on my bookshelf unread ever since. hopefully i didn’t get rid of it. . .

How I did it: Decided to upgrade on a trip to NC. Wasn't much more expensive than coach. Had the option to upgrade when I did my online check in--just needed a credit card. Read how I did it…
How I did it: Took a class through Urban Gypsy in Houston. My teacher, Sylvia, was awesome, and the ladies in the class were nice--we had fun dancing together. It was every Saturday for a month--I took the class in late Feb/early March. Read how I did it…
i still want to do this one, and now that i’m in better shape it might be possible. don’t know that i’ll be able to do it in 2010, but might give it a shot. i need to do some research. if i’m still in houston by 2011, i will try to make this happen.
I’ve decided I actually have a very nice looking back and don’t think I really want to get ink there. I may be (GASP) done getting tattoos. Not sure yet, but maybe.
