I was so excited about my trip to Colorado that I forgot about my seat assignment anxiety. Seat 21E. E as in EEEK, Egads! the middle seat! I board the plane. The Evil Flight Attendant then announces that the flight is "completely full." Shit! I walk down the aisle of the cabin and scan the row numbers. I tried to smile to counteract the panicked look that flashes over each passenger who sits by an empty middle seat. I'm not being paranoid. I know that look of "Please God, not next to …
P.S. I forgot to pack my girdle…
OMG!!! It's true folks! I forgot to pack my girdle this weekend. I am performing at a black tie event without a girdle. You might ask: "How could this happen?" Hell, if I know. I have never- let me repeat - never, ever, forgotten my girdle. And we ain't talking no prissy, wimpy Spanx shit. I mean a GIRDLE.

However, this time I just started putting things back in their place. I had forgotten that everything does have a place, even in my apartment, which up until this evening I had referred to as "The Pit of …
The Amazing Adventures of Permanent Lifestyle Change Girl: Backsliding & Baby-steps.

In one aspect it has been a good month because I have been very busy performing - which translates to physical activity - dancing and movement onstage, walking up and down stairs to and from my apartment to go to work.
