Define "Success"

It will come as no surprise to anyone from Los Angeles that the traffic is ridiculous.  It is 4:00 and I've been in the car since 10:30am, going to 2 destinations that are only 14 miles away, yet it took the entire day to achieve.

A quick stop at Target today to buy a bathing suit revealed what dressing rooms always seem to reveal when one is trying on a bathing suit: nothing you really want to have to acknowledge.

I thought that while I was here I'd be getting fit while enjoying lots of sunshine and exercise, but so far I have been sitting behind the steering wheel for 5 days straight.  Fit is NOT the thing I am getting.

Tomorrow Alina has another 4 hour-long class, but it takes an hour to get there even though it is roughly only 18 miles away.  It hardly seems worth driving an hour home to get a little workout in and then turning back around to get her.  Also, the place she is going to for these classes is behind a Gelato shop.  So, what am I supposed to do?  NOT have Gelato?  C'mon.

There must be a Pilates class near there somewhere.  There certainly are an abundance of organic juice shops.

Anyway, two successful auditions were accomplished today.  "Successful" being a term that means, she went to an audition, she did the audition, they liked what she did, they gave out compliments and then she left.  Success!

We'll take success where we can find it and today was an excellent start.  Finding a flattering bathing suit on the other hand...

Success is a relative term.
