So here's what has been going on...
I SAW OPRAH!!!!!!! My sister, Connie, and I flew to Chicago at the end of October and went to a taping of the Oprah Winfrey show! The guest was George Clooney. He is positively dreamy. I had this weird out-of-body experience because I was sitting far too close to him. I almost flashed him. Then, ironically, we had a second taping that day about finding the right bra size. It was weird, and no, George did not see my boobs. (He left the set right after his show stopped taping.) I kinda did want Oprah to touch my boobs, but no luck. But it was FUN. We ended up with $250 in Nordstom's merchandise and the soundtrack to George Clooney's movie Good Night and Good Luck. You can see Connie and me in the audience during the George Clooney episode. It's on my TiVo if anyone wishes to come over and see it. No cameras are allowed inside so I only have 1 pic of us outside the studio...it's below.
I had my annual Halloween party again this year. I found this Mexican dress that my parents gave me when I was in 5th grade. That sucker still fit so that was my costume. My dad won the costume contest this year... he was Zorro. I added a photo below.
I finished my bellydancing classes. Those were SO fun. I know a slow routine that I do with a veil. And I learned 2 really fast routines. I'm far too embarrassed to show anyone, except my sweetie, M. So you'll have to just trust me that the classes paid off. :o)
Of course, I turned 30 on Nov. 22! My family and friends planned a big surprise party for me, but my dad spilled the beans. He sent me an e-mail saying, "Clara, are you having a margarita machine for your party?" I questioned my family and they came clean. However, they would not tell me the theme nor would they tell me the date, place, etc. It turned out to be a kick ass Mexican Fiesta! I haven't resized the pics yet, but I'll get some on here soon.
Sorry for this choppy post and I promise to be better about posting in the future.

I'm so geeky that this *should* be my car.
