My JuJuBees participated in their very first show last night!
Oh my gosh! The traffics was so horrible getting downtown due to a concert at the Convention Center that we spent over an hour getting off the exit and I STILL had to hop out of the car while we (my parents and I) were still on the expressway and RUN to the show so I wouldn’t miss all of it.
I didn’t! I saw my JuJuBees do their part! It was so wild to me! Watching my CoCo Puffs stand up there like big little boys and say their lines and do their dances..WOW! That was really a rush!
As they spoke and danced all I kept thinking was, “They came out of my body…Wow!”
Like…PLOP!
Now they walk and talk on their own and have desires and opinions and preferences.
Ya’ll should have seen their Daddy. He was so proud of them. He used to participate in this program when he was younger so watching his sons enjoy it makes him proud. We all had a good time as we crowded around taking pictures and congratulating my boys…
~sigh~
The show was really good too. All of these kids from around the city, from the Keyes to Ft. Lauderdale come to participate and bring awareness to different issues that kids face. They did skits about encouraging kids to SPEAK THEIR MIND on topics ranging from dealing with hatred in school, to being unhappy because their parents divorced. All of them were excellent lessons that I hope my children pick up. Speak up! Say how you feel! Work through your emotions!
For the first time, I think EVER, I wore a sleeveless dress. I never wear clothes that reveal too much of my body. Even when I took that picture that you see above, my sister showed up at my house and said,”What?!! You’re showing your back?!!” ~smile~ I don’t usually wear clothes like that in public.
But for some reason I said, “Forget it. I don’t care,” and I wore a tube top dress. I think Second Life is helping me to release some of the issues I have with my body. Dressing up my avatar is like playing with Barbie except other avatars comment on your outfits and there are always contests for BEST DRESSED. Even on there, I’m a bit conservative in my appearance, but I’m trying to branch out and show some skin while it’s still firm! LOL!
Today I went to the library to do research and I found a lot of articles that will help me write my paper that is due in 3 days. I’m on a tight deadline, but that’s when I write my best. I’m going to write about Prominent Factors that Influence Attraction in Women. I hope that’s not too broad of a topic. I’m investigating this because if I hope to understand what creates that PULL when a woman meets a man.
Today I am feeling great and alive! I was feeling blah before but now that my research is done I know I’ll get the paper done quickly. I was given the software to automatically format my paper in APA style so hopefully, my first draft will be cleaner than the last one.
Ahhh..Let me go get to my writing.
I love beautiful sunny days like this!
