It's official: I am making a pilgrimage to Palm Springs at the beginning of August. The 5th through the 8th, to be exact. With Amanda. Should be interesting, and hopefully fun, but we'll see. As it will be over 100 degrees during the day while we're there, we will likely spend most of our time in the air conditioned austerity [is that the word I mean?] of my great Aunt Evie's (eh-vee) house with her little white dog, Billery Clinton (I kid you not); probably we'll also go to the movie theatre, in which you need a winter coat to beat back the intense air conditioning and earplugs to fend off the Senior Citizen Sound System. And then, of course, there will be a day of outlet shopping. Mmmm.......outlets......
Meanwhile, life is pretty good. The tango practica last night was super-fun, even though my feet were throbbing afterwards. I've come to the conclusion that dance sneakers wouldn't be such a bad idea; I need to improve my balance and "center", and dance sneakers would help a lot to support my poor little feet. But I do feel I'm improving considerably, which makes me really happy. It might be difficult to keep it up while I'm at school, but considering I only dance two days a week here and that's how much I was dancing (if not more) last semester, maybe it won't be so hard.
C'est tout, pour le moment.
