For Ariel:

Suffice it to say that listening to Turkish Romany music when very tired can result in some amusing misheard lyrics.
As for me, I am wiped. I took Lisa Z's tribal combo class at Bellypalooza, and I'm definitely going to need to practice my chest lifts. I came home and napped forever. I'm going to attempt dinner and a bath before going back to sleep. My body is completely worn out.
On the plus, I got an awesome kuchi choker from The Gypsy's Monkey. I'm a little nervous at how big it is, and wondering if I should have gotten the smaller one, but it does look cool.
And my hair has been lightening up to a medium red-auburn. Looks nice, especially when I sleep with my hair in braids so it's all wavy in the morning.
In other news, chocolate chai + french toast with nectarines and candied pecans for the win.
