Don't know what it means, it just came to my head.
Updates...
Writer's Update....updated ch. 54 of my story and am almost done...I think four more chapters and the whole thing comes to an end and hopefully a third story begins...which it already has in my head.
Brother Update...90% chance that he will be relocated to Ft. Bliss instead of being send off to Italy. He may be returning to the good ole US of A by next month. Yay!
Parental Update...mom is getting a hearing aid...top of the line with 60 batteries. Best part? All is covered by Medicaid!
Financial Update...still selling plasma to make ends meet...although, this coming month I'm going to be selling to save up money to get my car a much needed tune up. Good thing the mechanic at home is only going to charge me ten dollars. Not bad.
Work Update...put in my request for vacation days and if approved, will be on vacation from Sep. 17 to the 23rd. Five of those seven days will be paid. Yayness!
Social Update...making plans on attending a free Dwight Yoakam concert at Speaking Rock (El Paso's one and only casino) on September 17. Will get the times later. Also want to volunteer for a Sparks clean-up thing that my church is involved in...but Stephen has yet to let me know about the details.
Love Life Update...just a waste of typed letters.
Health Update...my weight is fluctuating, going up and down. I lose two pounds since I last donated plasma, then gain three after the second donation, then lose another few after another donation...It makes no sense. I have gone to the nutrition club a coupld of times and plan on going again, but only when I have money to pay. Right now...no moolah.
Anymore updates?
None.
Adios!

Can't Figure Out A Snarky Title
So updates....
Social Life Update-haven't done much on this particulare section of my life. I did go to my nutrition club after depositing my paycheck and hung out for an hour or so with my gals...hopefully we can plan stuff for my soon to come up vacation week.
Writer's Update -I am up to chapter fifty-four of the current fanfic story that I am writing. I am also three reviews away from hitting 200 reviews, which is my goal. The story is almost done, which would then make my finished story quota move up to two finished stories. This particular one seems to be getting pretty popular...I get a new reader/reviewer about once a week or so.
Health Update -I've gained a couple of pounds or so, and I blame it on the plasma donation. But what can I say...I need the cash.
Financial Update -Things are tight but one way or another, God's taking care of us.
Parental Update -Mom was diagnosed with sleep apnea and has been placed on a C-Pac breathing machine that she will have to use for life...also, her Velfaxine dosage was increased...and her new psychiatrist has talked about looking into a medication that can help with her fibromialgia if the Lyrica (which her pain management doctor increased) keeps interfering with her memory.
Dad...well, haven't talked to him recently. So I don't know what's up.
Love Life Update -None.
Spiritual Update -I went to church this past Sunday and it felt good. I really need to make an effort...afterall, I can't grow in God in a vaccum. More on this later.
Any other updates -Not really...I got them to give me my days back at work, I have a paid vacation coming up and I plan on making plans to enjoy it instead of just staying at home...
Well, that's it.
Adios!

Dancing –Expression of Self or Mating Ritual?
I know, the title sounds like a possible sociological study paper.
In a sense, that's what it was...a sociological study.
Last night, I headed out of the house around midnight to Whiskey Dicks, one of the country dance halls in El Paso. I had been wanting to go for a while but I never did because I had no one to go with me...so last night, I pulled out my courage and dusted it off, got all gussied up and headed out.
Two hours was what I spent at the country dance hall...of course, the word country isn't the best way to describe the music selection...there was some hip-hop, R&B and other such popular club music mixed in with the country. Definitely not Couplands.
Did I dance, you wonder?
No, no one asked me. But I did my next favorite thing...watched people while they danced.
Several interesting things that I observed during the two hour watching people dance session...less than 70% of the people on the dance floor actually knew how to properly two-step. That made me miss Lee Kothmann and Karl Winkler.
Another thing was that apparently in El Paso, people are crazy about the big group dancing stuff...you know, like the electric slide and such.
The other observation was that at some point (usually during the hip-hop sessions), the dance floor almost became X-Rated.
That was what got me thinking...
Is dance a form of expressing oneself or simply a mating ritual to show off vertical moves that can easily be translated into horizontal moves?
I myself have always thought of dance as a form of expression...that's why I love to dance. Because I can express the rhythm and music that I feel in my soul. Besides, I can dance.
Anyway, that's my social update.
As for work update...I was placed on a three-three schedule...which means I had yesterday off, as well as today and tomorrow...what punks.
On the upside, there's the news of a pay raise floating around the work place...a whole 25 cents!
Man, gotta get a new job.
That's my work update.
I am currently on chapter five of my study book, right on schedule. The thing is...I have to teach myself to read all over again. Yikes!
That's my educational update.
No boyfriend.
That's my love life update.
I got to see my Jaden last night, along with sharing cheesecake and good conversation with Stephen and Krysia. I am also sending messages and wall posts back and forth with Becca at this moment because chat doesn't work on her sister's computer. Oh! I got to chat a while with Stephanie, whose just an acquaintance that happens to be a life long friend of my Becca's.
So that's my friend interaction update.
Family update?
Mom's been diagnosed with a mild case of sleep apnea and her CPAC machine was delievered yesterday afternoon. I didn't see her this morning when I left so I didn't get to ask her how she slept.
My dad....not much.
My brother...still in Iraq, looking for another avenue concerning the Compassionate Reassignment.
My sister and nephews....in Alburquerque.
My brother-in-law...still alive.
There, the family update.
Well, everyone, adios!
