Today's Italian Phrase
Non sono più dove sbaterre la testa.
You use this phrase how you would use the English phrase "I'm on the end of my rope." Except, it literally means, "I don't know where to bang my head."

Tai Chi
If there is anything that I've remembered from the past three weeks of tai chi classes, it is this: Standing still is incredibly hard. Remembering what comes after the Sun style repulse monkey or after Golden rooster stands on one leg in the 48 combined form? These things are a cake walk compared to standing still for anything longer than a minute. Who knew that you'd have to put the most work into the simple things?

Quote of the Day: Jeanette Winterson
It is true that words drop away, and that the important things are often left unsaid. The important things are learned in faces, in gestures, not in our locked tongues. The true things are too big or too small, or in any case always the wrong size to fit the template called language. --from Lighthousekeeping

I feel the same way...
I think I'm a nice girl. I don't clean, but I cook. I'm tall. I go for long walks. I read a ton. I can appropriately use semi-colons and adverbs. I know the difference between a porter and an ale. And, yet... *sigh* I think I'd have an easier time getting hit by a meteor than I would being back out on in the dating world.

It is Official
My parents do not believe that it is necessary that I sleep. In the middle of closing four nights in a row before switching to opening, My Mother called me twice before ten a.m.
This morning, before 10, my Father brought me a cup of coffee. He was surprised to find me still asleep. The coffee does smell nice, though.

Quote of the Day: Harriet Beecher Stowe
Home is a place not only of strong affections, but of entire unreserve; it is life's undress rehearsal, its backroom, its dressing room.
