sleep deprivation, more weddings, and fun
i've been averaging ~6 hrs of sleep a night. i don't watch tv and i haven't even been involved in any books, so what have i been doing? i'm not sure. really. but i'm tired. and i was SO thankful for Columbus Day last week. i got to read my Time magazine in bed, rollerblade @ the beach, & meet up w/ friends.
the only thing i was bummed about was that i didn't get to go swimming. an escalator injury to my toe earlier in the day caused massive bleeding, and i was advised against dunking it in chlorine. darn. while stewing in my disappointment, i decided to start posting an "Injury of the Week" section, but i sliced my finger on Thursday while cutting an avocado and there was more massive bleeding. i think this requires an upgrade to "Injury of the Day." or maybe just "Clumsy Act of the Day" so i can include tripping twice on the way up to communion this past sunday.
there is *one* activity in my life in which i've yet to be injured - dancing. it's incredible that i haven't broken a leg or anything.
i'm SO happy when i'm dancing. in fact, at HC's wedding, there was a moment in which i almost wanted a boyfriend. but it wasn't during the ceremony, bouquet toss, or even dinner when i realized i was assigned to table #4 only to make an even pair for a 1.5-yr-old baby girl. it was while dancing a waltz. it took a sec, but it hit me that instead of a bf, i just really want to dance more. a dancing partner's all i need. =) i think i'm gonna take some classes - anyone want to join me?
here's the cute couple:
what a fun evening! another stanford reunion. here's my big brother & his wonderful wife (their baby's due soon!!)
this was the view from the reception venue:
actually, just the next wked, i was back at the SAME location for another wedding.
the other cute couple:
me w/ ms. palindrome. and yes, i'm wearing the same dress as the week before. you'll have to excuse me for recycling, but it was the 7th wedding in 4 months!
of course, wkeds are never quite routine...so the healthy schedule goes out the window. i had all-you-can-eat korean bbq twice in the last 2 weeks, and i went to Mastro's for the first time...
i also had scrumptious desserts @ a baby shower held at the Getty Villa:
(did you know i wanted a baby since i was 5? but the older i get, the more i realize how un-ready i am! is this maturity?)
speaking of being weak, yet another night w/ less than 6 hrs of sleep... need to finish packing for Astrocamp! ta ta...
