time to celebrate

today we're celebrating my birthday.  it was this past week and it was one very, long week full of stress and unexpected chaos. anyway, it's over and i'm finally able to relax...and i cannot wait to eat some cake !

baby it's cold outside.

the temperature really dropped here today.  it's windy and it's cold. cold in the way that i just can't seem to ever feel warm.  i think a nice cup of hot chocolate might do the trick.


photo from gourmet.com - oh, how i loved that magazine!

back to ballet.

it's been awhile since i've taken a ballet class.  it was something that was an integral part of my life for years.  i loved the intensity, the discipline, the long hours of rehearsals...i loved everything about it. after almost two years i'm finally ready to go back .. it's taken me awhile to get here - to want to take class in the way that i had wanted to before.  life had some challenges for me - some good, some bad - but now it's time and i'm really looking forward to it.

an introduction.

an egg and a nest is new.  i'm not sure where it's going or what it's going to be about.  i just know i'm starting it with an open mind and am hoping that through this process i may discover some things - some things about life, some things about me.  i'm ready for a new journey and maybe, just maybe, this will help me along the way. would love it if you want to join me in the process.
