What a dimwit


So I have this assignment in my Dance 1010 class to research a repressed dance form. So my group and I chose Belly Dancing. I lucked out and had a chance to go see a live performance this weekend at the 9th and 9th Street fair downtown. Oh, how joyed I was with myself. I was right on top of this assignment. I made my friend Lacey go with me and tend Connelly as I took pictures and "video" tapped the dancing. In my class I have to do a presentation on the dance form and the pictures and video would really help out the presentation's overall feel. Well as I was up in the computer room today what did I learn? Oh that I'm a dimwit, a dope, a dunce, yes I did NOT record the dance. I had my camera on the recording mode, but I failed to push that tiny little button called, "RECORD". You know the button that tells the camera to record the images that it is seeing. So I was there on 9th and 9th acting like I was documenting the dancers, however I was just mocking them. Pretending to like them, acting like I was professional. When in reality I was being a twit. All these words that I have used as an adjective I found in the thesaurus under "IDIOT". So now I have to tell my group that instead of pretty much doing the whole project for them, I didn't. And now I don't know when we will have a chance to see the live belly dancing performance again.

I am so sorry that happened. It's hard enough to arrange everything once, let alone twice. Your not the only one that does stuff like that I read an article on a guy that had to go back and interview a celeb. because he didn't put a tape in his little tape recorder the first go around!

Sun Valley, Idaho 2021

We stayed at a cute log cabin by the path that goes from Sun Valley to Hailey. There was a huge open field where we were able to throw the ball and play with the dogs in the snow. We ate lunches out and cooked the other meals in the cabin.  Connelly got  the French dip, Nate got the Pastrami, Kate got Macaroni salad and I got the Acai bowl! This was our fourth year going to SunValley.  We love to shop at the  thrift store, Gold Mine.  We found a lamp, board games, Sorrel snow boots for kate, beanies, and Corral plates for the kitchen!! GOLD MINE! Connelly went to Bald Mountain for the first time.  He was able to ski just as fast if not as fast as me.  The ski runs there are so long.  I never took the kids because they are  so long and I thought they wouldn't last two runs.  Connelly and I did 5 runs!!  It was so fun.  Then we got the souvenir pins for Dolla...

2020 Update on kids and life

This year the kids did home school from March 2020 until the end of the school year. It was crazy. I would have never known the words Pandemic or Social distancing until 2020. We ended up playing games every night for about 4 hours at the beginning of the pandemic. We made it through the school year. Then we started school in the fall with in person class and we have been so lucky to get through to Christmas break with no breaks from school and we even went five days aweek. Connelly is in 7th grade this fall. He is doing good with all A's so far. He thought he had a B in one class the first term and miracle of all miracles somehow it turned to an A- last minute. He was promised a phone if he gets straight A's for the next two years, 7th and 8th grade. He has worked really had on keeping an eye on his grades. He really is a good kid. I love him so much. He loves to Ski, Ninja, and ride my new mountain bike. I will need to get him a mountain bike next year. ...

Random thoughts

So this post is a combination of what I've been thinking the past little bit: First, this morning, I didn't do anything with myself because I was going to wear a hat to class, Anatomy 2320, and so I just picked my zits and got Connelly to go to my mother in laws, and left. Yes left without the freaking hat. I didn't comb my hair, didn't put make up on, and left the house red, picked on ugly zit face. What was I thinking. oh well, it isn't like I even talk to anyone in class or having an affair with my teacher so no biggy. Second, I took a test in my anatomy class Monday, and I thought for sure we would get our tests back today. WE DIDN"T. so I have to anticipate my score another 6 days. HHHHHHHHHHHHUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU...... Connelly must be getting more teeth. He is Onery. He will be cute however about 10 minutes before he goes to be. He is really ticklish and giggly late at night. So then it makes it hard to want to put him in bed because he i...
