Final day of our holiday celebrations was also quite lovely. I dragged Gramma out of bed around 8:15 this morning (if I don't, she is likely to sleep until 10:30 some days) and took her home to visit my parents for the morning and into the afternoon. Mom cooked a very tasty dinner of quiche and a glazed ham for us, and I managed to trick dad's ( Read more... )

I don't really watch Dancing with the Stars, but the second week I did catch the last half hour or so because it came on right before Castle. Dirty Dancing's Jennifer Grey was the last routine I saw, and seriously, it boggled my mind. The woman is 50 years old and still gorgeous, and it has been 23 years since Dirty Dancing came out and she can ( Read more... )

Man... It is Friday afternoon and I am insanely restless. Enough so that I totally just got up and danced in front of my office chair when a particularly bouncy song came across my MP3 player, but alas, five minutes of getting my groove on has done little to ease the "OMG, WANNA DAAAAAAAAAANCE!" It's bad enough that I am seriously considering ( Read more... )

icepixie has been systematically working her way through all of the Fred Astaire/Ginger Rogers movies out there for the last month or two, and recently she decided to make a fantastic fan vid of the two of them. It is very awesome and if you like dancing at all, you all should go watch ( Read more... )

Went dancing with Mandy and some of her co-workers last night. Had lots of fun for about two and a half hours and then all the heat and all the smoke got to me all at once and I ran out of there crying and feeling extremely light headed around 12:45. Before that, though, there was lots of dancing, which was good ( Read more... )

Went out to the new dance club in town with roommate. It was okay - far better than anything else Stevens Point has to offer - but the music was very rap and pop-ish, so not really what either of us prefer. It was still fun, though. One guy from Arkansas hit on us numerous times, which was nice at first, but he was also rather handsy and wanted ( Read more... )

Shame on me. I have skipped dance class the last two weeks - first week because I was sick with that nasty cold, last week because I got a lovely headache that would've likely only gotten worse with all the bending over and having weird positions. Also, I just didn't want too ( Read more... )

Just got back from the dance class I'm taking with Mandy. Neither of us went last week because we were sick, but thankfully they didn't do much that time period so we aren't behind or anything. I think I'm getting the hang of it. I just have to stop worrying about doing it right and just do it, even if it is wrong. I'm a very relaxed person, ( Read more... )

I have a bed! With a mattress and everything. Went to Lowe's and got a bunch of wood sheets so, you know, I *had* a flat surface in which to put my mattress on cause all I had was an empty frame. A really *nice* empty frame, but empty none the less and requiring one big 3 and a half by 6 sheet of particle board or ply wood before I would be able ( Read more... )

After watching a bunch of YouTube clips, I've narrowed the list of dance classes down to two - Modern and Hip Hop ( Read more... )
