a short update

like, what the heck have i been up to, aside from posting ads for fire dancing classes on my blog, now that i've quit my job?

  • well, teaching fire dancing classes, for one thing :-)
  • i've completed the second round of editing my novel, and have been doing tremendous research into writing query letters, hooks, and synopses so i can start sending it out to agents. i've written a hook that i don't love yet, but once it's been edited and i love it to death and want to send out, i may post it here and ask for your oh-so-intuitive and helpful comments.
  • and yes, i'm going to try for an agent first, not an editor.
  • yoga, of course, every day, at least an hour. my teacher training starts in two weeks! yikes! i'm excited and nervous at the same time. i'll post more about this to my yoga blog, though, so stay tuned to that one if you're interested.
  • working out, too, on top of yoga, you know - to get the cardio in. i picked up the shape bikini body DVD, which has three 30-min. routines, but i've only tried two so far. it's all right. when it comes to videos, i still like carmen electra's series the best, though! :-)
  • little jon and i did a performance at a wedding up in tahoe this past weekend - that was awesome. 30 min. on stilts during their cocktail hour, then we headed to the casinos for dinner & play time before returning after dark for a 15-min. fire show. they looooved us, and we loved them! under the full (blue) moon, it was quite spectacular. of all the weddings we've performed at, i liked this one the best. it was small, intimate, and very friendly, and very, very romantic.
  • and that, my friends, has been taking up all of my time!
plans for the 4th include, well, more of the above, plus a fire show up in suisun, ca, before the fireworks. dave's heading to the playa. should be pretty mellow and nice. lovely weather! things are awesome. life is good :-)
