I have officially taken three whole Zumba classes, and it is a blast. My reaction to seeing myself in the mirror while dancing is that I look embarrassingly white, gangley, and awkward. BUT, who cares? The music is fun, the teacher Julia is so fun, I am not frustrated by not being good at it, and you burn calories no matter how you look. There's ( Read more... )

So I'm officially sick, but it's okay, because I only have one class this evening and can spend the rest of the time laying in bed, reading The Inheritance of Rome and drinking hot tea ( Read more... )

It's Wednesday already? This week is flying by. French is going well though, so that's good. Tonight I'm going to bake cookies to send in a father's day care package for my dad. I hope they turn out yummy! What are y'all getting your fathers for Fathers Day? I am at a loss for what to send him besides cookies. Suggestions appreciated ( Read more... )

So today, since dancestore.com gave me a discount, I bought myself some new swing shoes for dancing in St. Louis with my husband! They don't make the kind I currently have (and have danced to death) so I went with this little wedge with a swede bottom, and I think they're going to be great.

Today by five pm I hadn't gotten a lot done, productivity-wise, and that kind of bummed me out. I was having a hard time concentrating on research, which I had hoped to power through all day, because the book I was reading wasn't good. But, despite this mood of lazy wasted day, I actually had a very nice Thursday ( Read more... )

Aside from the mountains of homework, it's been a good week/weekend. Thursday out dancing with friends and Casey was amazing. We took Phil and Robert with us and Christine joined us when she got out of class. It's fun to see how much better Robert gets with every time he goes, and it was nice to attend the beginners lesson with Phil - always good ( Read more... )
