An article about my bellydance teachers, their philosophy, and our show:

At least it notes where there music is from; I'd like to pick it up . . .

Progress

The leia metal top bits are painted and were left to dry last night. The belt part is sculpted, and needs to be glued and painted. Then boots and acessories (but at least I know the main bits will be done).

Before picking up supplies we had dinner at The Aztec http://boston.citysearch.com/review/4635548 , one of the things we miss about living in that area. I can never get enough Mexican food, you know.

We're picking up veggie share #2 tonight :)

A year ago today

Brian and I sold our house in tha' hood in Framingham and bought our house near Moody in Waltham. Its something I thought we may never do, and almost gave up permanently on many times due to short supply, high demand, and growing real estate prices so close to Boston. I had given up once before (hence, buying house #1 in Framingham in the first place):

I'm glad that all of the pieces fell into place and that we were stubborn enough to keep trying. It was quite the stressful process selling and buying at the same time, but we did it. Our house has definitely got some issues with smaller rooms than the last one and some weird setups, but I wouldn't trade it for the world. I'd say its one of our largest accomplishments thus far together, and I'm really proud of us and still beaming about it all :)

Some related posts to give you an idea of the process:
