Riot and Frolic

a mostly ballroom dance, but also a bunch of other stuff, blog

– new blog design, yo.

Do you like it?  I love it.  I love that it kind of hurts my eyes because it's so bright.  

There's the fun new feature of my Instagram (another app for the ye olde iPhone) photos.  If you click on the mini-pictures, it'll take you a nifty window where you can see my super-clever [not] description and a bigger version to gawk in amazement at.  

Plus, a funner bio and WHITE SPACE.  

– multitudes of awards for my ballroom buddies at the USA Dance Amateur Nationals!  Congrats to Lee and Leslie, Tom and Anne, C.J and Lori, Larry and Jessica, Jeremy and Yuko, and all you nerds who proved you could come back to MN with your heads held high.  Represent[ed]!

– a new app that I downloaded purely for the fantastic description.

Eat. Chew. Rest. app of awesomeness

No, I have not used this to slow down my eating.  Yes, I have played this game more than most of the other actual games on my phone.  Eat. Chew. Rest.  It's free and sooo worth the price.

– guess who wants a goat?  This girl.

612!
You'd never guess it from the six inch platform shoes, but after visiting the MN Zoo farm with the fam this weekend I WANT A GOAT!

If only to watch Mae Cake chase a short, fat one around with a brush saying, "Come 'ere, GOAT!"

The MN Zoo farm, by the way, is awesome.  Pretty.  Idyllic.

– planting seeds with the ladies, who love playing in the dirt as much as they love being princesses.  Nice juxtaposition, I think.

helping to plant seeds
I reeeeeally hope any of our seeds make it in the ground and become, like, plants.  I have 22 varieties of flowers, herbs, and vegetables started.  I'll share the plan with ya later this week.  If it works out, it'll be AMAZING.  And I'll also have to start canning…  Hey, Gramma!  [Maybe I can get her to tell me her secrets from back in the day.  If only she read this blog…*cough cough*]

– cute photo fail.

the ladies
The matching dresses are adorable.  The children in them?  Meh.
