So I guess I will join all of you and begin using the livejournal once again.

This new year has begun with the joyous continuation of last year where I have been exceedingly happy and slowly adjusting to my life back in Gulfport/New Orleans. My goals for this new year are all about having fun, reconnecting with friends and getting back in touch with my artistic self.

My home life is amazing thanks to my boyfriend and I'm having a good time at work and my library card is being put to good use. (Which reminds me, I have things to return tomorrow!!)

I wish that it was not quite so cold in the early morning and I could comfortably go on my walk, but I've been enjoying sleeping in and rolling around on the floor in the morning doing the merest semblance of yoga. All that will sort itself out and I'm thinking of going to the Hip Hop dance class at Crescent Lotus on Saturdays. I may look ridiculous doing the moves, but I think it will be a great deal of fun and it will get me out of the French Quarter on the weekend.

In exactly 2 weeks I will be 30 years old and while I was planning to have a huge party, I'm rethinking this plan. January is a tough time to have a picnic and so maybe some small gatherings with people throughout the weekend will be the right speed. That and a massage. And dying all the gray out of my hair.

My birthday wish is that I get a smidgen more patience, some lovely musk perfume and I get to see some of my dearest friends. Cheers!

I went to Florence.

I wrote about it on my website- here

I'm honestly trying to do more blogging.

Really.

I promise.

here's a pretty picture

I spent a great deal of time last night sifting through the over 15,000 songs on my external hard drive to create playlists for the cocktail hour and dancing portions of my brother's wedding. I've come up with 3 1/2 hours worth of fun cocktail music and 8 hours of dancing music. This is overkill for both...

The rest of the entry is here.

I fell asleep before the fondue. Not surprising since my internal clock is set for two hours later and I was up until 3am the night before. I had a wonderful time at my soon to be sister-in-law's bachelorette party. She's a very special person to me and I was thrilled that she invited me to celebrate with her and her closest friends. We started out the evening at home- quickly eating dinner and then changing into dresses and fancy shoes. We then went to Martuni's which is a karaoke bar but with live piano. Think: gay men singing show tunes. It was fun meeting the other women at the party and I was paid a lovely complement on my shoes (as seen in the photo).

Hello dear ones who I've seem to have abandoned on the Live Journal. I have finished my website and will be posting my travel blog there. I will do my very best to copy my entries or at least link to them here on LJ.

I'm currently in SF for the week leading up to my brother's wedding and so many things are about to take off.

here's the website:

I still have my last week of classes and then exam week ahead of me, but my trip to India has really taken a large part of my focus. It has a great deal to do with the facts that I just finished the final formatting of our pre-trip book and I have to write a 10 page research paper about Management in India.
Besides all of the work, I'm really excited about the trip. We were given copies of our itinerary today and it makes everything all the more real. It is time to start taking the acidophilus, eating yogurt and upping my vitamin C. Getting super healthy before going will surely be some help (not to mention all of the immunities I received through my time in New Orleans and Thailand.)
While there are many things to take care of with the end of the semester and my approaching move (not to mention having to get the plans started for the fall in Italy) I'm feeling relaxed about it all. Now if only I could make it to yoga more often...

So I'm trying out Ping.fm to see if it makes my online presence easier to keep track of... Not sure that this is really the application I'm looking for but I'll give it a try anyhow....

Cole: I own a pair of gold hotpants. Look.

Xn: They are gold, and they are hotpants.

Cole: How do they make my ass look?

Xn: Accessible.

Cole: umm...okay.

Xn: You can blog that.


Just a little snippet of my life.
