I still gots it!

Remember when Solei was born and I was heartbroken, thinking my days of being me were over?
I performed this weekend in front of a few hundred folks, playing a wild electric fiddle (not my usual one) and holding my own while playing with the fiddler for the TransSiberianOrchestra (also a Juilliard alum).
I feel so good right now - I still gots it. Heck, I perform better than when I graduated college. And I feel like I'm not done yet...
I still rock!!! Who knew??
And now, Jane tagged me to list 10 weird facts about me. We allknowhow weird I am, so I'll try to kick it up a notch.
1. I woke up this morning and actually wondered if Britney Spears had sucked or uber-sucked yesterday. Turns out it was the uber. The saddest thing? SHe's about my size - I'm not a skinny-mini around the middle - but even I know that sexy is not about walking around in panties and a bra. I think she figured she could show off everything and then hoped the flesh would be distracting from her lack of talent. Heck, even I know that, the wee fiddler that I am;)
2. On Sunday, I teach some teenagers at church, Usually it's a disaster because they all fall asleep. But yesterday I must have had some lingering cool on me, because they finally decided to like me. They also decided to start calling me "REVA!" (just like that) and asked me a mazillion questions about my personal life. I was TRYING to teach them about church, dagnabit!!!
3. Solei's first word (I SWEAR - she said it 3 times already) - Jesus.
4. I took a pregnancy test last week just to make sure I was fat and not pregnant. I am NOT pregnant, just fat. But man, you get a little pudgy in the tummy and you start to wonder...
5. Remember how depressed I was after nursing because my boobs were all sagggin' and baggin"? They have RETURNED!! I have no idea how. And NO, I'm not pregnant.
6. When bodysuits were cool to wear back in the nineties, I knew I had no chance to go buy them. Mom only took me shopping once a year! So... I wore my old leotards from ballet. I think I had to dislocate a shoulder to get into them, but I was stylin'. Yo.
7. I am scared of nature. Bugs, small animals, big animals. Googly moogly!
8. I think I can dance. But I really can't - in college was known for my butt dance... ask Annie to show you - she does a good version of it;)
9. I don't think I was meant to exercize. I really don't think it's in my body make up. Really. I just don't think it's for me.
10. Yogurt freaks me out. I couldn't eat dairy for a long time,a nd now dairy just weirds me out and I can't eat it. Well, American yogurt anyway - the Brasilian stuff is like a smootie and YUM, I can go for that! But the American stuff... oh, and I can only eat I can't drink regular milk either, it toootally grosses me out. but I can drink lactaid all day long, go figure.
Must go, Solei is dancing and I want to join in. Maybe I can learn some moves!!
SUPERCRACK out.
