And so, this weekend I went camping and it was good. Everything that should be a part of camping (camping and hiking are different) was there .. fire, food, beer, freaky deaky tent sex. It was quiet this weekend because it had been threatening to rain all weekend, but we got none of it, it all migrated south. Alright, that is a lie, it rained for about 20 seconds. That's it. Not even enough to get the ground moist.

It was very relaxing and hard to focus when I got back. I was mellow and good and sat around for a long while doing nothing when I got back. We decided to head back early Sunday morning because well, if I had had nuts, they would have been frozen off. We had wood still, but no kindling and it was just a pain to start a fire. So we just packed up and headed home. We avoided most church traffic, so it was probably best we left when we did.

I feel renewed in a way. But, my mind is still distant, unfocused, relaxed. I suppose I feel like I am in a few places at once. I wish I was still out and about in nature, but I'm not.

No matter. When I get home I plan to ride a mile or so on my bike with my husband, then fix some dinner and curl up with a book or MUD a bit. I am looking forward to riding my spiffy new bike around. I want to get back into shape so I am going to keep track of all the days I am good and go on at least a short ride. I want to get into the habit of riding, so for the next two month I am going to try to ride everyday as soon I get home from work and change into some sweats. My husband also needs to get into shape to help prevent the onset of diabetes that is tragically hereditary in his family. He also needs to get into shape to get into shape.

I actually got home in time to listen to myself on Mango Radio. I think that will be the last time I listen to myself. Uhg. I hate hearing myself babble. I sit there thinking, "Why the fuck did I say that?" "Fuck, I am stammering like an idiot." I want to tell myself to shut up. Gods, I suck. Oh well. That is what I get for not editing I suppose. Though, I don't think my show would be all that much better if I did edit. Who knows. Maybe next week I'll give that a spin and try some editing.

My "Spotlight On" will be Tori Amos this week. I need to remember to do a little bit of research on her before I get together that blurb. I've found that I open my show generally with something older and classier than what I play the rest of the show. I think I'll stick with this and open up with some Duke Ellington this week. Probably Black and Tan Fantasy. Or maybe some Billie Holiday, not sure yet. As for the rest fo the set lists, I have no fucking clue. I'll probably wing it as I sit there talking and try to segway into music that makes sense with what I talk about.

Lots of neat stuff in the news today, but that should probably get a blurb of its own.
