Jack-o-lanterns, Silver Coins, and College Applications

What a wonderful night I am having. My daughter and her boyfriend were here when I walked in the door. They were carving their jack-o-lantern when I arrived. They named him Norman - I bet the naming thing was my daughter's idea. Would a guy name the jack-o-lantern. I mean, really? Well.... maybe.

I got to cook for them and everything, which felt really good for a change of pace. Come home and cook. Most nights someone is rushing off somewhere and there just isn't time, and then of course, there are those nights when I'm just too tired to even think what to cook, so we go out, or order in.

Last night I went to my belly dancing class. I love it!!! I really do love it! I bought a blue scarf for my hips with all these beautiful silver coins that cling and clang as I try to move my hips without moving my legs or knees. Impossible. And then we worked on moving our torsos with out our hips, legs, arms - oh my! And then we moved the torso in a circle with a lift and a dip - but no movement from the legs, hips, knees, heels, arms..... hahahahahaha. Really? Is anything really moving at all? Someday I will have this all figured out. What fun - and what a great work out for lots of muscles in lots of places.

One of the best parts? The music is fabulous - lots of drum. I have always been a lover of the drum. I feel drums inside my soul.

My daughter finished her college applications this week. She is still waiting on her guidance counselor to send in her evaluation to the most beloved college of all. She is not sure her counselor wants her to go to college. She has been called into the office 3 times to be asked what exactly needs to be done with a  promise that she will "send it today". Saturday we hand deliver the application to the college of her choice, the home of the mighty Horned Frogs. We pray that all the other paperwork makes it there. Prayer is good for many reasons. One of which it keeps us focused and thinking positively.

Tomorrow is SAT test result day. Ooooooo Awwwwwwwwwwwww! Will it be good news? If I pray tonight, will it change the score? These are questions I ask myself.

So, no bad news - only good 'ole livin' news. Hope you all enjoy following my life. LOL! Maybe tomorrow will be more interesting. Course, as for me, I have truly enjoyed living this very simple day.

God bless us all.

Namaste
