    I know, I know… there’s still 2 more weeks left in the year, but today’s the day I’m taking stock of things. Goals from January 2016: Front Splits  – not quite there, but progress is still being made. I think I’ve figured out how to get the last 3″, so should be full touch down…

    It’s been a little bit, since I’ve been busy, but not with anything ridiculously exciting, so minimal updating. Getting ready to go into the standard holiday depression-y bit, with the visit to the family this coming weekend, so that’ll be fun on one level, but I’ll be missing the hell out of my Mom again.…

      Another busy week.  But now… we start adding a bass line. Bass lessons started for me today, and the instructor I’ve found seems to be fantastic. He translated a lot of the basics into piano terms, so I’m feeling quite a bit more aware/knowledgeable about them. Also, he gave some technique bits and pieces…

    Having a moment of P!nk. Because, why not? If I’m writing, I might as well share some favorites too. So what’s happening? I don’t even know where to start with the awesome. There’re the achievements over on the Dainty Bitch Skin blog – namely, superman and side saddle superman/poleorama being conquered today, the hamstring deciding…

    I’m definitely noticing a change in my world in the first week of detox from Facebook. To be completely honest, my account is still active, but I’m not logging into it. Sure, I’m not getting everything as it happens, but not having so much static to wade through has been excellent for getting my brain…

    Happy 2016, y’all! My goals include continuing to give myself a mental break – i.e., not riding myself so hard or ferociously when I have something that feels like/looks like/is a failure to me. In other areas, I’m planning on having my shoulder back to full strength this year, thanks to Fit and Bendy’s  Shoulder School…

    I think I finally understand pole burns. The hip hold to superman transition wasn’t so successful tonight, and I have my first true pole burn – that’s still burning two hours later. I wish I didn’t have dainty skin, but I’ll keep using the tuf-foot, since it’s been helping with the general skin owie. But…

    Apparently, I have too much going on constantly, but I don’t ever feel like I’m doing anything.  That and I don’t really feel the need to publicize when things aren’t going well – I just get my butt in gear and fix them, rather than being online passive-aggressive.  It makes me an infrequent blogger.  Anyway,…

    Any polers know of a way to toughen up sensitive skin – other than doing the trick a gazillion times?   Unfortunately, my skin’s so ridiculously sensitive that it’s extremely hard to try to do a trick more than twice or three times, without getting to the point of tears from the skin burn.  My…

    Pole unstickiness resolved. Finally. Yay! Back to the work on that, thanks to DryHands and overall dehumidifying of my surroundings. Hopefully starting work on the new number tomorrow. Keep your fingers crossed!
