proud?

Not anymore.
Not so proud anymore! I have been AWOL, since May, darn it!
So much for being on a schedule...
Karma is a thing, do ya all remember (all=me, myself, and I) the lovely shoes I put my eyes on?
Well, they won't fit at all!
They hurt my poor feet so badly that I had to pass them on.
A dear friend of mine, with a smaller foot, is now really, really happy.
And I had a good My-name-is-Earl  lesson.
But I will write again.
No pretty shoes involved or bold promises anymore, though.
I promise.


Actually I did write something lately.
On a blog I care a lot, the Roman Lindy Hoppers one, it's worth a look, but it's in italian only.


Non più.

Non più tanto orgogliosa!
Mi sono data alla macchia, da Maggio, porca pupazza!
Alla faccia del rispettare le scadenze...
Il Karma esiste, vi ricordate tutti (e per tutti intendo: io, me e me stessa) le adorabili scarpe su cui avevo messo gli occhi?
Beh, non mi stavano nemmeno lontanamente!
Mi facevano così male che ho dovute darle via.
Una carissima mia amica, dal piedino più piccino, ora è molto, molto felice.
Ed io mi sono beccata una bella lezione in stile My-name-is-Earl.
Ma scriverò ancora.
Senza coinvolgimenti di meravigliose scarpette o sfrontate promesse, però.
Prometto.


A dirla tutta, qualcosa ho scritto, di recente.
Su un blog a cui tengo molto, quello dei Roman Lindy Hoppers , vale la pena buttarci un occhio, è in italiano.

proud.

I made it!



I'm on (my kid) school duty, and I'm back from a very late wedding, so I'll be posting some photos and details tomorrow night, but I'm pretty proud.

Twice.


Ce l'ho fatta!


Sono di corvée per la recita di mio figlio, e reduce da un matrimonio finito piuttosto tardi, perciò posterò foto e dettagli domani sera, ma posso dirmi orgogliosa di me stessa.

Doppiamente.

I'm gonna make myself a spiffy cloche hat.
Within a month.
Uh-huh, sure!

baby steps.


The "Shout Sister Shout" is a Lindy Hop event in Rome.
THE Lindy Hop event in Rome.
The 2nd edition took place from 2 till 4 of December 2011, and it was awesome.
It was my baptism of fire, as "intermediate" dancer (in Rome the scene is really young, the standard really soft) and as a "craftswoman".

first thing first. and 2nd. and 3rd.


1st: I'm an italian gal and my English isn't the best.
No fancy language courses, private schools, or traveling around the world for me. I've learned my English by watching tons of tv shows & movies. I'm a bit shy about reading and writing in my second language, but I'm diving into it and loving learning it, so please be patient, smile at my attempts and have a good-humored laugh with me. I'm trying my best.

2nd: Over the past few years I have started to learn different crafts...
