I feel like I have jellybeans in my head, everything is colorful and chewy.<\/p>\n<p>I just sent some trusted beings the first bits of my book, for feedback.  This is one of the final stages before I turn it in to Eden, my editor.  (As an English professor, I find her name quite an interesting one, considering she is where my Creation ends up and takes form&#8230; maybe the Marketing Department is the snake?  Asking for feedback is the apple, gives me knowledge that may hurt&#8230;Oh, shut up Senator)<\/p>\n<p>It is unbelievable that it is real and here and a new being (my book).  Jeez, that is how I really feel.<\/p>\n<p>Okay, other news:  I have a new dance teacher.  A lovely, beautiful, warm and challenging woman from California!!  I already have two combinations to practice.  I&#8217;ve been dancing almost every night, with new confidence, and a real sword.  (Only got hit in the noggin once!  Ow!  Get the boo-boo bunny, Neddy&#8230;  \ud83d\ude41<\/p>\n<p>So with all the practice, I noticed I was isolating top from bottom more than ever, so it looked really good, despite any belly fat that is, sigh, a part of me it seems, for good.  And it is good!  It is a sign of my proud years, my childbirthing, etc.  Right?<\/p>\n<p>So I had Ned film the dance session and I LOVED it.  I looked like a REAL dancer, because of the confidence and the isolations and the flourishes.  yay.<\/p>\n<p>Class went better this week; I felt relaxed and interested in the readings (another GREAT Updike, called &#8220;A &#038; P&#8221;).  I just adore him, may he rest in peace.  \ud83d\ude41   I&#8217;ll never get to meet him.<\/p>\n<p>I got a whole bunch of new activities for Nat to do, with kids his age!!!  That Alternative Leisure Company in Bedford Mass is just a dream come true.  Also, Nat starts swimming on Sunday!!!  The swim season has begun!!  State Games are June 20 and 21st, at Harvard Stadium, I believe.<\/p>\n<p>Oh, God, and there&#8217;s the whole Special O thing I have not even begun to write about, the funny stuff I observed in the basketball thing&#8230; the great stuff that will just make you laugh, and stuff.  I&#8217;m getting there.  My head is full; I can only type so fast!!<\/p>\n<p>And now&#8230; off to make dinner, or some facsimile thereof.
