Month gone by

Wow...it's been over a month already. Life continues on bringing blessings and wonder each day. Not much and so much has been happening.

September is the start of school, season premiers and work (especially for Europeans who took august off). The American University of Rome began it's academic year and with that began my first time teaching job...yoga. I'm in heaven! I love yoga, my classes and the girls that I have met. So far no man has had the balls enough to join my yoga class! I know Mr. Harry would if he was in Rome! ;) I've been keeping up with volunteering and am still the volunteer coordinator at the cat sanctuary. I have a little hesitancy at times because yet again I've gotten ringworm form those adorable balls of fur! Italian medicine does crap nothing to get rid of it! I've results to bleaching my spots! *Don't worry mom and Mick, the bleach is diluted!*

Vance and I have come to the realization and acceptance of our current addiction...House MD, the tv series. We have downloaded the last season off itunes and hopefully haven't lost it completely on our hard drive that pooped the bed! We'll see! In the meantime... we are watching what we have and I'm taking occasional peeks in youtube! Hehehe!

My book reading has slowed down as I am out of books. Vance's cousin has given me an idea about online free audio books. Hmmm. If you do have some books handy and would like to pass them on, I'll be in Houston in Dec! Of course fiction is my fav, I love to learn and explore so nonfiction is good too.

Movies....other than the downloaded films we get from friends, I have only recently gotten the chance to see a couple "new" flicks that have recently came out in Rome. Hairspray and Michael Clayton. I loved Hairspray and have seen it twice! Musicals...what can I say! Michael Clayton was a good movie, but it ran slow for me. Clooney did an excellent job carrying the film.

Friends....Of course that is what I surround myself with so I have to blog about it. It's so nice to be able to spend time with my Stephie! She's a sweetheart and I'm so proud of all that she is doing and what she is striving for! My prayers are with her! Veronica is missed as see has escaped to Miami for a month! When she gets back we'll have to have a bbq! Maybe not on my terrace this time as I have great fears of the apartment burning down. (Vance has even tried to ease those fears and bought a fire extinguisher! ) Finally Dani and I were able to get together, thanks to the brilliant planning of Audra. We had a great time at the movies and they had a nice laugh at my bike riding gear.

Life is good and blessed.
