Back to Business

Today is the first business day of the year. Lots of people were waiting for this day to come. To finally end their vacations and get back to work. I kind of feel the same. I am starting to see the wheel turn and while I am still on the couch, I won't be here for long. I will be applying for 2 more faculty positions today and sent my resume to a local restaurant yesterday.

I played phone tag with Shy, the instructor for the yoga certification program and after finally connecting today all is a go. Even though he did not remember our email conversations or meeting me in person - my application was strong enough to snag a slot. Or at least he said he enjoyed reading my application.

Whatever that means.

What excited me most is that everyone that applied was not accepted. Some did not have a strong enough background and others have not taken a class with Shy. I had both. Go me!

Second, I finally heard back from the owner of the belly dance studio. I gave it one last ditch effort and texted her. I am so glad I went with that option rather than the nasty email I was going to send about her not contacting me. This was the email I received yesterday.

I like your energy and your persistence. After working with you, I am concerned that you are not familiar with the songs that we use in Shimmy Pop as the whole class is based on the teachers ability to relate to the music. Do let me know if you want to proceed :)

The music??!!! That's what your concern is? Crazy. I got the link to the class videos and sent her this reply after 2 cocktails and a glass of wine at Hugh Groman's holiday party. Luckily, I kept it short and sweet.

I do want to proceed and yes, I do know the songs better than you think. I can sing along with the best of them.

So, as I plan for my trip to Davis tomorrow to get ready for the arrival of Jess' dancers, I will get myself off the couch and on the yoga mat. And then I may throw in some hip shimmies for good measure.
