Tonight I was practicing a routine for an upcoming hafla in October (I need a LOT of work), and the phone rang--my daughter had gotten the car stuck on a concrete curb at a closed gas station. It was minutes before the car was needed to get Rajeshwar to work, since she had borrowed it today, and out I went, dressed in this outfit. It is a lengha topped with a duppata I had bought some time ago, but have been unable to wear as it was made too small. After a costume disaster with the purple skirt when I made and dance tested that, I always test out any new conglomeration I put together before wearing it out in public. (Thankfully I dance tested my purple skirt before wearing it to class. It originally had a drawstring waist, but no matter how tightly it was tied, one good shimmy shook it right to the ground. A few minutes with the sewing maching that accquainted the skirt with some bad-ass inch wide elastic and I was shimmy, shake, and hip roll proof.)At any rate, out I went in this with a shawl to cover me up somewhat and keep me dry as its raining out--I was fairly well covered up, but there was no covering up the jingling of my hip scarf with every step. It made for a few interesting looks from other folks out walking tonight! *lol*
At any rate, the car was safely removed from the curbing with the aide of a jack, my daughter made it home in one piece, Rajeshwar made it to work within 5 minutes of being on time, and my costume sucessfully survived the activity. I think I might just use some of the duppata for fabric and alter the choli so it fits however--it will be much more comfortable for dance purposes.

You look fabulous!!! I'm so glad you're dancing. I had to take a season off because of foot problems. I had surgery last Friday, plantar fasciotomy so maybe by the fall show I'll be back in business.
As far as a weight loss blog is concerned...for me right now there's not much to blog about. I'm afraid to get on the scale. Not doing well, I'm afraid. I blog pretty much every day, on MySpace...but it's about every subject under the sun. I got really gung ho about Sparkpeople and used it religiously for a few weeks...then just...stopped. Completely. Right now about all I'm doing is finally getting around to reading "Body Clutter". After that, there's an enticing copy of "The Diet Code" waiting on my coffee table...that's the one about Leonardo and the Golden Ratio as related to food.
So thanks for checking in with me but I'm a slacker. If I start a weight loss blog again I promise to check in to my Blogspot sometimes.
I am sure that you got dragged into it like I got dragged into "tap dancing with electrodes" we should start a group.
Miss you girl.

Now you KNOW you loved Riverdance with cardiac monitoring electrodes. *grin* Do you all still have as much fun at work? Theareaon left I suspect, at least judging from the number of references I've given him. Where I am now I've managed to slip in the occasional saline flush sneeze, but we haven't made it to roverdancing yet.
Ummm, riverdancing. Roverdancing is another sport entirely and would involve very placid puppies...
As long as I am working there is always fun. I will let it die.. NEVER!!!
My co-workers are just as crazy now. Before it was just you and me. Now the whole "B" shift that I am on are nuts.
Am I rubbing off on people? The dancing was fun. It was the after effect with my shoes that I could have cared less about.
