I believe it's been a bit...
Seems as though I haven't blogged about dancing in a while so why not do so now?! I'm still into it full swing, pun intended, and am still loving every minute of it. My dad and I have actual dance shoes now and joined the swing club so I take that as meaning that we are hard core professionals now! Or not ;)
We have graduated from the beginning to intermediate classes although there are certainly some things that I have yet to master from the beginning class such as my poor frame. I just can't seem to keep good compression when I partner dance! That probably makes no sense unless you've partnered danced before! Regardless of my poor frame, our hearts are still in it and we at least feel like we do well :)
Last night pops and I went to a bar/restaurant out south for dinner, a few drinks and an introductory lesson to salsa! It was a blast! After the lesson, they open up the floor for whoever wants to dance! We really had a great time and I'm sure I'll return next week! Apparently, every Tuesday, they have an introductory lesson to all sorts of stuff (rumba, salsa, cha cha, two step, night club sway, blah blah blah) and then afterwards the west coasters show up and swing!
Not 100% sure I'm going to my normal lesson tonight though. I've either got a really slammin' (and not in the good way) case of allergies or I've got a cold. My head is filled with crap and I can't seem to hold my eyes open. Blah.
Even though it may be the weather making me feel like this, I can't ignore that it is FREAKING BEAUTIFUL outside this week! We have a FULL garden now and the mister has started working on renovating our deck which I am SO excited about! It really needs a facelift!
Also, Monday was my last day to teach this semester. It's always bittersweet it seems. I totally miss my students and being in front of the class but I also love the extra free time I have to do whatever! Now, I still have a stack full of projects to grade so I'm not out of the woods yet but I'm not lesson planning for a while! I start a summer course up on June 1st so it's just a little break really.
Sorry if any of this seems disjointed or discombobulated or whatever....my brain is struggling through all of the snot today. Nice image, eh?
OH! Also, I am thinking of making this blog private so if you're a reader I don't know about and would still like to read this, let me know so I can invite you to it!
Ta Ta! Bodaciously ;)

I've seen the other side and it's not pretty.
Oh. My. Goodness. I can't believe I'm alive.
This weekend was such a good weekend...for the most part. Friday night, the mister, daddy and I went to our first official dance to put the learned steps to use and had a good ol time! We partook in dinner and drinks before arriving (late) to the Night Club Sway dance class and did our best to stumble our way through that one. It was fun though. It was most enjoyable to watch the mister give it a go as he's never done any of the dance classes! Watching some of the more experienced dancers throughout the night was so entertaining and only inspired me to want to learn more and perfect what I've already learned!
Saturday the mister and I journeyed to 'the city' for an interesting wedding complete with a communion service and a conga line. This was a wedding of one of the mister's good friends. Nobody knows the new mrs very well but we're all hoping she is a keeper! Fingers crossed! We had a wonderful time hanging with old friends, laughing and staying up way too late which always seems to occur when we venture that direction :)
Sunday we returned back home in a leisurely manner and once we had arrived back at the casa, I took a nap to catch up on the sleep lost from the night before. I woke up with a very very odd feeling in my stomach. Not a good odd feeling, if there is such a thing. Within the next hour, I found myself perched upon the toilet, buck-naked with a bucket in my lap getting VIOLENTLY ill for the next SEVEN hours. I know that is NOT a pretty visual but it is the truth. And I'm not shy. :) It was truly complete and utter hell. I had caught the nice and contagious stomach bug floating around these parts. The mister is one of those people who hurls at the thought of hurling alone so I was amazed to find him as a wonderful and supportive nurse! Thank god I wasn't alone through all of that! He's seen me at one of my worst points now and still loves me and my vomit! Yeah unconditional love! ;)
One funny story through all of this, if there is one, was that I eventually made my way from the john to the floor, yet still in the bathroom, and would doze on and off between bouts of sickness. at one point, the mister came into our teeny-tiny bathroom to check on me, not knowing I was passed out in the floor and SLAMMED the door into my head. Didn't phase me one bit though. I believe that was hour five or six and by that point, I felt no pain.
So now it is Wednesday night and today was my first day back 'to the grind' and I barely made it through it. I am SO weak and am still having pep talks with my tummy to be ok with food but I will survive. When you get sick like that I guess it takes more of a toll on your body than you think!
On the flip side, during all of my time becoming more familiar with our bathroom, I found that Vimmy, my orange devil of a cat, is fascinated with the loud ticking second-hand on our bathroom clock. It is incredibly entertaining :) Maybe you can leave this post with that image as opposed to the previously mentioned one ;)
