dog days of February

As I predicted, the weather turned icy cold and windy as soon as I picked up my bike from the store. I'm not even making excuses, either, I swear. Still working on finding a Pilates class, too.

Things are pretty quiet around here. Payday is coming up (on my birthday, if everything is prompt, which it usually isn't), so we're all short on cash and laying low until we get our dough. The days have been dreary and cold, making me long for sun and sandals. I know that will all come soon enough and before I know it I'll be complaining about the heat.

At the risk of being taken away in handcuffs, I must mention that the pirate DVD market here is incredible and I've picked up several titles to tide me over to warmer weather. There is also enough trading of DVDs and books among the teachers that I won't have to worry about entertaining myself for cheap. Nonetheless, if you are planning on visiting do not hesitate to bring along some books with you.

Speaking of visiting, a very nice young man will be here next week and I'm so excited! If you know who he is and want to put in an order for a cheap pashmina, let me know. I promise he won't mind that I am volunteering him to be a scarf mule.

More soon!
