flexagonSo what's happened lately is that I worked off my ass off in order to quit Colubrid fairly cleanly on Thursday, then went to a bar to watch my friend play on that night's showing of Jeopardy (and HE WON! it was so freaking cool), then flew to Oregon the next day. On the plane I knitted a sock toe. And as of this afternoon my cousin has successfully upgraded her boyfriend to a husband, so congratulations to them.
Yep, crazy few days; I really haven't internalized much of it yet. At my cousin's wedding reception they gave everyone a little flag on which to write advice for newly married couples... I wrote something like what I always write. "Keep individual bank accounts, even if most of your money is managed jointly."
Did I mention we're staying at a hotel that has a real fitness center, with free weights? Worth the extra money, in my humble opinion. I hope the lifting good mood lasts through what my mom has planned for us tonight, which is contra dancing. Must... remain... open... minded.... ommmmmmmmmmm.

There are 8-count patterns you might dance with your partner, your "neighbor" the other guy, or the other lady, or all together holding hands. A dance is only a few patterns long, and it repeats, but before it repeats, you and your partner move up or down the line to make a foursome with a new couple. So you end up dancing with everyone.
Music is usually live, and dorky.
