Fringe made enough money at Rockabilly Riot to cover costs plus $12. Not bad for our first attempt. We also got several offers from professional photographers for trade work. We will be having our product photographed for free basically, thanks to Melanie Titus Photography. The organizers of the show were very nice and accommodating and we have a spot at Rockabilly Riot next month!

All of us girls looked incredible and had a fabulous evening all around. I love my friends.

Here I am peddling my shit:

So I went to a "Boot Camp" class at the local YMCA. My co worker goes and talked me into it, said it was fun and thought I would enjoy it.

It was my first time working out at a gym, keep in mind I was a smoker up until about 5 days ago, and I could eat much better than I do.

Long story short, I almost passed out. This class was crazy intense and of course I over worked myself to the max due to my extreme competitive nature, Definitely not for beginners such as myself.

It was ridiculously embarrassing to have the ATTRACTIVE MALE INSTRUCTOR have to lay me down on a mat and elevate my feet in hopes that I would not go unconscious on his watch. I was literally seeing stars and spots and couldn't breathe. I wanted to run out of there and never show my face again.

It was a wake up call of sorts. I am now jogging to get into shape, trying to eat better and quitting smoking.

Two songs that really pumped me up while I was running :



And



ALSO! I was noticing all of the Red Breasted Robin's about today and Rockin' Robin popped up on my iPod. It made me happy smile happy and I danced with Simba when I got home from my run.

Suffering from something
We're not sure of
In a world
There is no cure for
These lives we live
Test negative for happiness
Flat line, no pulse, but eyes open
Single file like soldiers on a mission
If there's no war outside our heads
Why are we losing?

I don't ask for much (Life less)
Truth be told I'd settle (frightening)
For a life less frightening, (Life less)
A life less frightening (frightening)

Hang me out to dry
I'm soaking
With the sins of knowing
What's gone wrong
But doing nothing
I still run
Time again I have found myself stuttering
Foundations pulled out from under me
This breath is wasted on them all
Will someone answer me

Is there a God tonight
Up in the sky
Or is it empty just like me? (Just like me)
A place where we can hide
Out from the night
Where you are all I see (Where you are all I see)
So blow a kiss goodbye then close your eyes
Tell me what you see (Tell me what you see)
A lifetime spent inside this dream of mine
Where you are all I see

Went for a lovely 2 hour walk along the Broad Cove beach today with Laura, my second mom and fantasy wolf dog Luna. I love the fresh ocean air.

on a side note we have a gig lined up to sell my crafts at Rockabilly Riot at Reflections in 2 weeks! I have created a logo/business cards for the occasion and who knows where else we will go!

Shout out's to Miss CC for showing me the ways of the feather and can't wait to continue crafting together (I have a huge box of supplies now!)

Here is the logo I just designed!

Laura says they are evil and shouldn't even exist.

Remember the post about reading in the hammock on that beautiful day? Well that turned into a nap and a sun burn and my mothers photography skills being displayed.

.I think I'm being pretty clear on this one.

.GET LOST.

Sausaging into my bikini for a good read in the recently instituted hammock. Holla.

It is rewarding to find someone you like, but it is essential to like yourself. It is quickening to recognize that someone is a good and decent human being, but it is indispensable to view yourself as acceptable.

It is a delight to discover people who are worthy of respect and admiration and love, but it is vital to believe yourself deserving of these things.

You cannot find yourself in someone else. You cannot be given a life by someone else. Of all people you will know in a lifetime, you are the one who will never leave nor lose.

To the question of your life, you are the only answer to the problems of your life, YOU are the only solution.
