Celebrity sighting

Alright, in the span of a week I have had several run ins with wild animals. The first being Bambi's Dad. Since it is fall it gets dark at 7......so with a maglight in tow, I set out for a brisk walk. There was a shadow that caught my eye for a brief moment I thought it was a figurine, the fake kind of deer that my fellow midwesterners love, yard art. Well when the flashlight lit up the shadow I was stunned to find out that it was a Buck, a large one at that. It was at least a 10 point buck. WHAT!!!!??? In town. Crazy!!!! I quickly turned the light off not to startle the buck.....I thought that is just the last thing I need this week is to get caught up in some of Bambi's Dads' antlers!!!



After this, a day or so passed and I found myself driving to the grocery at about 10pm. With the brights on (in the neighborhood, thanks Dan...Sally's dad) I was surprised again by what I saw. There was a fox hovering in a driveway. Again I thought to myself, WHAT!!! A fox!

Too much. All I can think is that man is taking up too much space and the once wild animals have no where to go....sad.



Side note: When my brother and I were little, mom would take us out for a night country drive to shine deer. We were always amazed by all the deer in the field. No longer do we need to take such drives, they are in our back yard.

Eve of Dance

Quincie and I spent the afternoon preparing for dance class. She is super excited and ready for some fun. It will be so good for her and me. She has been wearing the entire outfit all night. The tap shoes are the preference over the ballet slippers, of course they make noise!!! All the excitement has brought back many memories I have of dance. It made me feel so good to dance. Ballet was thrilling and challenging. The music and shoes made me into a person with great posture and an appreciation for slow moving music. It slowed me down to a pace that was comfortable. That is the only time in my life that I have felt relaxed for more than a minute. May be I should start again.......I am proud to pass this love onto my daughter. I hope for her that she loves it as much as I did.

4 to 1

This is incredible, I have had a only one coke for the last two days. For everyone that knows me, knows that this is unheard of. I am on the 4 cokes a day, everyday! I am not sure what sparked the change, but it feels great. The craving has subsided and I am onto better things: Water!! Who I am, I do not know. My love affair with Coca-Cola has been long standing. I am Coke. I am a fountain Coke, I am a Coke with every meal and then some. I am the morning girl that loves the sound of a fresh coke being poured into an icy glass from the fridge. No longer. I already miss the ice cold drink, but now enough to pour one.
