Hope everyone’s having a lovely October!

We’ve been doing better at getting out for a walk every day, even if it’s just a short walk before sunset.

Found the end.

And some pretty little flowers.

The fanciest fire hydrant.

Samples for tasting time! Note how I made sure each piece got a good bit of bacon.

When Shrimpy noted that we accidentally burnt some fries…

he wasn’t kidding.

My brother REALLY likes Oreos, so when I saw this… I just had to get it for his birthday.

Haven’t made it yet, but I’m going to do the silliest Sushi Labs ever for it…

I’ve been reflecting upon how I always say I want to dance… but never do.

So I’m making myself come up with prompts and post daily dance improv.

It scares the heck out of me, but I always say you have to make shitty art before you can make good art, so I’m following my own advice.

Just show up. Don’t worry about the perfect outfit. Or having your hair and makeup and nails done. Don’t hold yourself back because your body isn’t perfect, you’re not strong or flexible enough, you haven’t put together the perfect choreography. Nobody’s gonna judge you because nobody’s paying attention anyways. And if you want something, you’ll never get it if you never start. So just show up. ~~~~~ Thinking of putting together daily dance prompts to force myself to dance as much as I wish I would. Does anyone else want to play along? Today’s prompt: just show up #dance #dancer #balletaday #danceeveryday #danceeverydamnday #danceimprov

Saw this fellow hanging out in a tree.

Day 2. It’ll be a while before I actually like the stuff I’m posting… but I’m sharing it anyways.

Today’s prompt: Stuck (I discovered it’s very difficult to be “stuck” with socks on ?) Gotta work on my “I’m staring at myself in the mirror right now” face ? Shifting away from perfectionism. I don’t 100% love how this came out but I had a lot of fun working on it, and the rule is that I gotta do it every day… so here it is. #dance #balletaday #danceeveryday #danceeverydamnday #hapa #hapagirl #danceimprov #dancer

[SPOILER ALERT]

It’s the best feeling when a random idea turns out REALLY REALLY GOOD.

You’re gonna want to see tomorrow’s post!

Getting baked.

Fresh-baked bread exists to be a tasty delivery mechanism for good butter.

BREAD!!!

Day 3: OH MY GOD I’M SO SORE

I just wanted to lay on the ground and call it art.

Instead… I laid on a chair and called it art.

Plenty of good food (and questionable dancing) coming up! Hope you all have a lovely week! I need a nap…
