Stella Marie was bikenapped this past Monday evening from my apartment. A police report was filed, but she has not been seen since. I was angry and upset when it first happened, especially since it happened while I was home, but I’ve settled down a bit. I’ll miss the great times we had. However, I have a matching bike on layaway at the same bike shop. I love my local bike shop. They’ve all been so very helpful in getting me information that I need to give to the police, and just helpful in general. I hope to support them for a very long time.
Last night was my bellydance troupe’s biggest performance of the year at the Arizona Witches’ Ball. I must be honest, I was getting a little nervouse as it approached. Not to mention the stage fright at the actual event! I left my glasses on the table. I normally wear my glasses so I can see what’s going on, but the audience of nearly 300 intimidated me just a tad. As soon as we got to the stage, I realized my mistake. Without my glasses, I wouldn’t be able to see in case I got lost during choreography! The butterflies living in my stomach decided that this would be a great time to flitter about. My shimmy sister assured me I’d be okay, and I was! I have to say that there is something addicting about the sound of applause. Nothing gets the blood pumping quite like it.
You paired a bad thing and a good thing in the same post. Love the balance!
I’m glad that you were able to replace Stella. I like the picture in my head of you riding your retro bike to work.
