I dunno, just a suggestion, but maybe you should try hanging out with femmes older than toddlers?

What are you studying, hb?

imperfect_cupcake · 04-26-2014, 12:54 AM

Massage therapy. it's even more gruelling than I imagined. I was warned though! At west coast college the attrition rate is very, very high. 30% failure rate per term. at VCC we lose about three people per term because the instructors bust their asses to help us. and the higher terms will *always* tutor the lower terms when asked. we started with 29. we now have 20. I think that will slow down to 1 per term from here on in. so I should graduate in a class of 15. I do get scared I'm going to be one of the ones that doesn't make it though.

So, okay. First day of serious weed whacking and vine trimming. My rig of choice for vining is my Echo, got her out and revved her up. Trimmed about 5 feet or so, then this ginormous praying mantis jauntily walks out to greet me. She had that "I dare you to continue" face on.

Needless to say, she won. Because of her, had to use my electric trimmer that takes me 45 days to get the job done instead of the usual 45 minutes. Grrrrr. (growling in a happy way)

A nice and long phone call with Mother this morning.

She's 92 years old today and still going strong.

Happy birthday, Mom.

Sitting here looking out the window watching the hummingbirds at the hummingbird feeder and then I saw a Painted Bunting (brightly colored song bird) at the other bird feeder.

I rarely see Painted Bunting's at my feeder so I always get excited when one stops by for a snack.

They invited me to look for a cache with them....we talked about history and archaeology. We never did find the cache. But I enjoyed my time with these lovely people....who,incidentally, were visiting from Florida...

That's always fun to run into geocachers when you are out doing the same thing!

imperfect_cupcake · 04-27-2014, 02:41 PM

Workin on my mate's rotator cuff group. And making a whack of progress in an hour. And watching her sit up, all wobbly from an intense endorphin kick.
That always makes me grin. Down to my bones. Applying my learning makes me super happy. I do love this career choice.

she said, after sitting up "omg. Intense. I feel like I should send you a 'thanks for the sex'" text tomorrow... "
Hahahahaha

In Montreal last year.

Old Masters
Twenty feet above the sidewalk, white chairs are attached to the walls of buildings in the Latin Quarter, with ten senior citizens sitting on them. One is knitting, another folds laundry and a third is eating. All of them appear to be floating above everyday concerns, their strange position adding an enchanting note to the cityscape. Old age becomes urban poetry, insisting that we stop and take a look.

Affixed to the façades of buildings on St. Denis Street, they are an evocative display of passing time, blurring distinctions so that life becomes art. Some might walk by without noticing them, but others will raise their heads and stop to gaze at this surprising image of mature angels adding a touch of grace to the urban space.

An undisciplined and interdisciplinary German artist who specializes in site-specific interventions, Angie Hiesl concocted this “human exhibit” so that we might view elderly people as works of art. After winning over audiences in Europe and South America, her group will make its North American début with this beautifully disconcerting performance installation.

Kobi,
Your post made me smile today! I wish I could've repped it 50x. I love this concept and I admire the very brave senior citizens who had the nerve to sit up in those chairs!

For me, it would have to be talking with my buds and family. It would also be that I met a really nice and cute girl today.

cinnamongrrl · 04-29-2014, 06:41 AM

my bff growing up...she posted on my FB timeline...about how you never forget the kids you grew up with....
I responded by telling her about my recent bike ride down my childhood street (one over from hers) and told her I felt 10 again....and almost expected to look back and see her....with her red braids and all....
