Belly Dancing on Tuesday

Posted by Lori Dorn on February 24th, 2008

Yay! I’m starting belly dancing classes on Tuesday with Fat Chance Belly Dance here in San Francisco. It’s something that I’ve always wanted to do, but was always either too shy or too self-conscious to actually do it. I’m not sure what changed, but I’m super excited to finally embark on this [...]

Posted by Lori Dorn on February 7th, 2008

Last week I went shopping at my local Trader Joe’s store on 9th Street in San Francisco. I was a little harried, very tired and probably not in the best of moods since it was the end of my day and I’m not loving my job so much lately.
I got on the shortest [...]

Green Cay Wetlands

Posted by Lori Dorn on February 7th, 2008

I was on vacation in lovely Boynton Beach, Florida visiting my Daddy. It was very relaxing and I made friends with a bird or two.
This photo is from the Green Cay Wetlands which is a gorgeous set of wetlands designed to assist in the water filtration process for Palm Beach County.
I wish I could [...]
