Gigs are done, for the moment, which is both great (I can sleep again) and not so great ( darn they were fun!! ) I think this trio is going to be playing out more, it was simply to cool not to do it on at least a semi-regular basis. My Boss thinks we should use a different name each time ie : Fabulous Lorraine and the …..which seems kind of fun.
( Mullie suggeested Fabulous Lorraine and the Wankers or Fabulous Lorraine and the Sheepshaggers, sweet, but maybe not , hee-hee )
Ideas????
I started my new food journal thing today. Gads it adds up quickly. For me tho, it is the best way to keep track of exactly how much I am eating. No more junk food on the way home from shows!!! ( another week of gigs and I will have nothing to wear! ) Went for a lovely long walk as well.
( I know, weird idea, it will never catch on with mainstream America, eat right and take some exercise every day. Personally I think I am onto something )
I have also been reading more on Malena’s site. Sometimes I forget how smart she is ( well THAT came out wrong! ) I mean I tend to think of her as my best friend and bandmate , and forget how much she knows about the mind , body and spirit connection and all such things. That was how I got to know her, some months before I got up the courage to actualy write to her, it was reading her essays and articles. I thought she was one of the most amazing women going. (still do)
Which is important, but more importantly, I want to LOOK as good as she does in a corset by BalticCon, so it’s back to work. ( or workOUT as it were, hee-hee, I need to sleep )
Next month I do get to go to LA twice. This makes my heart very happy.
( tho the velvet gowns , orngina and chocolate came as a bit of a suprise, but hey, I’ll go along with anything Nocturna comes up with ! These wacky Creatures of the Night!)
I hope you are all as happy, and I wish you a very good nights sleep….
Love and lullybyes,
Lorraine
Hmm, yeah, I think I might try that whole eating less and working out thing myself…I hear it’s good stuff! It’s neat that you mention starting a food journal, as I’ve just started one myself (with El Hubby). Hopefully that’s the stars telling us it’s a good time for it. We’ve also just started following Dr. Weil’s 8 Week program, because frankly this girl needs bunches of discipline…hey, maybe there’s a name for the band: Fabulous Lorraine and the Discipliners…Fabulous Lorraine and the Punishers…Fabulous Lorraine and the Svelte Seven (who cares that there’s not really 7?). Arg, when the stream of consciousness begins, you know it’s time for bed! Good luck, have fun catching up on sleep!

Fabulous Lorraine and the Svelte Seven? I like it. Now all we need are 7 sexy back up singers in green corsets and shamrock hats. Lucky Charms indeed!

This must be Food Journal Week. I’m doing one too. (Which should scotch any theory that it’s the backlash from holiday food, no?)
I finally got the sound to work on my computer! So I could listen to your songs, and they’re fabby… who sings the really low part on “Dark Sonnet”?

Malena does all the vocals on Dark Sonnet, wonderful girl that she is.
Isn’t this cool that we are all jumping back on the diet journal thing? It will help SO during the holidays. I read the other day that the everage person gains 7 pounds between Thanksgiving and Xmas. NO WAY!!!!!!
Read Malena’s notes, they helped me so very much.

If anyone is looking for a free online diet journal, there is http://www.fitday.com. It’s a bit flawed but it is helpful. I go in spurts of being obsessive with it.

Yup, I put on five pounds EVERY holiday season and am determined to buck the trend this year. I have never actually chronicled my food but the words staring at you in the face: 30 Frito Scoops, 3 chocolate chip cookies, etc…. might make a difference! I do record exercise tho - 6 days/wk doing 3 days aerobic/3 days muscle toning (lots of osteoporosis in the family), and find that helps keep me on track. I am fortunate that my job is pretty active as well. Aagh if I could just hate chocolate….

This band gets cooler all the time, yes, we do need sexy green backup singers!!!!
Comment by Fabulous Lorraine — November 28, 2005 @ 10:04 pm
looks like we’ve found one, Lolo! Corset included. How cool and with that figure, it won’t matter if she can sing. HAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaa

KittyCat is making me miss California!!! All your talk of ocean views and Malibu reminds me that I need to plan a Pumpkin roadtrip before he’s too vintage to do it.
Hey… I’m Irish… green eyes even (when they’re not trying to be hazel)… got room for another?
