Damn Blogger

Well, I just spent a good bit of time (which I really don't have these days) writing here & then Blogger ate the whole thing. Dammit. I don't know what happened. But it was gone. So I'll tell you briefly what I told you at length before (aren't you glad Blogger ate the first one!).

Answers for Rap: NoCal daughter is the one who lives in Northern California. SoCal daughter is Peanut who lives in Southern California. I can just see you slapping your forehead and saying, "of course." Finding my voice: I'm not sure what A. meant but here's what I mean. In my family where there were all sorts of nasty things going on, no one talked about any of it. No one told us not to talk. It was just clear that certain things weren't discussed. So I didn't really until I met you at age 15 and even then not the real knitty gritty stuff. I really wanted to be in the school choir at Ichabod but singing out loud at the audition was so scary I could barely get a sound out. So after threatening the music teacher that I wouldn't babysit his new twins, he let me in with the proviso that I mouth the words. Learn a new language? No problem. I could read & write in Latin, French & Spanish. But speak any of them. Forget it. Not a word. Nope, none. Senior class play nearly caused me a nervous breakdown. I had a small but pivotal role which required that I speak with a hoity-toity accent. Totally inhibited. So finding my voice means finding all of them. Making sounds. Making noises. And toning or chanting is supposed to be really good for you -- sets up healing vibrations in your body & all sorts of good stuff. If only A. good leave comments!!

What I also had written about was my little victories. I made it around the circuit twice for the first time at Curves Wednesday. Of course, I could hardly walk yesterday and every muscle hurt but I'll get there! There's a woman who goes at the same time Tina & I do and she's really a hoot. She makes me laugh & makes it fun.

Okay, I'm going copy this before I post it. That way, if Blogger is still hungry, at least I haven't lost the whole damn thing!
