This is why I don’t have time for tumblr much anymore:  I spend my time contemplating life in barns, looking so deep. 1 month ago / 2 notes

Really sorry for the lack of posts, lately. 12 hour work days while still trying to find time for trapeze and sleep have been taking it out of me!

Thanks, that’s awesome to hear! It does the same thing for me as well :)

Just had one of my last Friday afternoons at trapeze :(

I got a pretty big promotion and now my work days are going to change. I am more concerned with having to change my trapeze schedule than with all my new work responsibilities! There are a few women who are also regulars on Friday’s with me and I am really going to miss getting to know them…which is saying a lot for me because I am generally pretty quiet!

inkstainedaise asked: I'm in Iowa, so Chicago is only four hours or so away from me. Where can I find more information on TSNY?

I go to TSNY in Washington D.C. so I don’t know too much about the Chicago branch…but if you go to chicago(.)trapezeschool(.)com it should tell you everything you need to know! But remove those ellipses of course :). If you go, tell me how you like it!

Circus goals for 2013

1. Get a solid handstand!

2. Get my freakin’ middle splits.

3. Take more silks classes.

4. Finally take some trampoline classes.

5. And as always, keep working hard on the flying trapeze. Slow progress is still progress! :)

What are your circus goals for the year?
