I've been slow in posting lately. Hey, give me a break; I'm a busy woman. We've had many pleasant social engagements and appointments this week, and next week is more of the same.
I'm especially looking forward to Monday and Tuesday evenings. Monday will give me the chance to fulfill a life-long dream of mine--to be professionally photographed. The shoot for the Scissors ad (scroll down) sounds like it will be a girlie-good time. Although, now that I realize my image might actually be used and seen by total strangers, I'm a little nervous about the exposure. But, then again, I've always been a bit of an exhibitionist. (Someone reading this is saying, "A bit???") So, what the hell--right?
I've been excited about Tuesday night for a month now. The Ska Brawl tour is rolling through town and will feature The Toasters, The Usuals, Supervillians, and The Duppies. I like The Toasters, but I'm more excited about seeing The Usuals again after being out of the scene for so many years. I had to stop hanging out with them when they kicked my then-boyfriend out of the band for being a total peeve, malcontent, jackass (take your pick, I couldn't decide on a label for him). John and Julie (trombone and vocals) have a beautiful little girl, who is now Joe's playmate after a chance meeting in our neighborhood Publix. I can't wait to hear Julie sing again. I've got my argyles and matching plaid skirt already hanging together in the closet, and I plan onskankingtill I drop.

Thanks for the support, Tisha. I'm actually having some anxiety issues now that the shoot is over. I always seem to have a big let down after my ego is overinflated--maybe from humility or guilt. I even ended up not wearing the rude girl outfit I had planned for the show because I didn't feel I could pull it off. I was much more comfortable in jeans anyway.
