I became a World Cup fan yesterday after watching the Italian team play the US. Wow...... Italy....yummy.....is it a requirement that you have to be gorgeous to play soccer in Italy?? I mean really...it seems scary to think the whole country could look like that. Gotta add Italy to my itinerary of travel.

Feeling pretty good. Finally have Cable. The cable guy was nice and complimented the smell and decor of my apartment, which I found complimentary if not a bit strange coming from a sweaty scraggly guy with a tool belt....gotta love it.

The world is opening up and I have a lot of new exciting things happening. I kind of feel like a snail or a turtle. I have on my protective shield but I am sticking my head out a little by little. I must say things look much better than I thought they could be.


Got back to dance this week. Humbling since my cohorts have passed me by with a new Flamenco dance in my absence.

Started painting again. Hadn't had the patience to do it in sooo long. I sit and paint while listening to Andrea Bocelli's "Amore" album! It puts me in a blissful mood while I do my crafts and decorating.

Now I need to get the physical stuff in gear. Been so tired. I've actually been needing a daily nap. But it my moon time and that always saps my energy. But nevertheless I feel good and hopeful. I only wish that I could take a month or so off from work to enjoy my new abode!
