I dreamt I met James Garner and told him how much I loved the Polaroid commercials he did in the 70’s. Sometimes I wonder where my brain comes up with such crap?

Yesterday I set my alarm for 7am. At 7am I woke up, looked around and decided it was too dark to get up. I reset it for 7:30 and found myself waking up at 9am. I was disgusted with myself but determined to wake up earlier today. I set my alarm for 7:30 but when I opened my eyes the next morning and peeked at my alarm clock, it read 8:30. Again I was disgusted with myself but I do intend to wake up early tomorrow. Right now it seems I am waking earlier in 1/2 hour increments– I may be perfectly fine come Monday.

Last night I went to Latin Impact class. The instructor told us that tonight we would be celebrating Carnival. She then she handed out beads and feathered masks for everyone to wear! Oh my gosh it was so much fun! Eventually everyone removed their masks because it was just too difficult to wear while doing the PUNTA! Especially with all the sweat dripping down our faces. I will admit that I am finding it easier and easier. Sure, hip shaking is not in my culture but I am working hard at it and I am sure I will get it soon enough.

Pookie and I are going to take a little trip– a last hurrah before I must get back to working. I am excited. It seems like I’ve been stuck here in the donnavilla for months… wait, I have been here for months. Yeah, I really gotta get the heck out of Dodge.
