WOH, day four: and the peeps, they dance, they shake their bootys

 
i think it's well past surfing time in more than a few areas of the globe that do check this blog (areas? more than one is plural, yes?) but i did not flake! r & i have been at a health fair all day long here in LA, and we met some very wonderful, infectiously happy people. i taught a dance class (an afro-brazilian dance class) on top of a building (a 17 story building) on a helipad (a HELIPAD!).  how cool is that? so my day four WOH creation is booty shakin. dance-right-off-the-roof booty shakin. seriously, the railing was not that big. i decided, rather quickly, to take any and all spins OUT of the routine.

i have to admit that i was stressed out about this class. r set up the entire event, and this was the big finish. i don't think i would have been as confident creatively about it, truly, if i hadn't been creating on the days leading up to it. i was still crazy nervous, and of course i would've done a few things differently, but It. Was. FUN.

we've both been on all day, and i am dog tired, as is r. tank decided to overheat a few times on the way home, for good measure. r's vegging with the ultimate fighter (a favorite of both balloonas; these guys are amazing, they beat the absolute hell out of each other and then cry and hug and are complete BFFS) and i'm playing with photoshop. with some good oaky chardonnay, of course.

tomorrow we're both creating good health by going for our annual physicals, but i promise something a bit more fun than a doctor's visit. until then, WOHs from YOU: you know him, you love him, BIG DADDY's got a hosta named after him in eileen's garden... and a plant that would spark a rumbling in anyone's stomach grows in maya's spot... the rumbling fruitfully continues at marmota's... and mick is spinning yarn, bellydancing, and taking a really gorgeous picture while she's at it. like, i'm this far away from stealing it. but bed is closer. so to bed i go.

WOH, day two: get snappy


my day two WOH has to do with dancing-- and just to prove we are sympatico, i woke up this morning to this video from r, courtesy of the NYtimes blog. i defy you not to grin while watching.

i was at the dentist, but no! i did not welch on the challenge! this creation just had to be something portable. i'm teaching an afro brazilian dance class this thursday, and i thought instead of throwing on a cd, i'd create a mix. i was excited to make you all a muxtape, but they only accept mp3s... so here at least is the playlist:



i'm hoping it makes them boogie half much as matt does. maybe i should serve mojitos...

(PS: more sympatico bloggness, mick belly boogied for day two! and maya has joined in with something every stylish girl needs for the dog days of summer [and she did it without a pattern, i'm telling you, she's got elves])
