Learning To Live

This photo was taken in Nurnberg, Germany. It's how I feel now. I don't know what to do about this week. It's going to be crazy hectic, and I won't get everything I want to done. I guess all I can do is jump in and try to swim. The couch I made! Kyra and I did a WONDERFUL job - this thing is gorgeous and comfortable! It makes me smile. And this week, hopefully I'll be able to get over to Chris and Kyra's to help Kyra hang artwork :-) Black and white makes dancing look even better. These are the two best dancers I know, and I am privileged to call them my friends.

I got many responses to my post about dancing. To Jen, yes I would like a part-time job, but I'll lose my health insurance if I work. So yay for that. And I was reminded that this fall I'll have a little person to help take care of - and boy do I love little people! Especially in baby form. I got an amazing email from an amazing person reminding me that she has been where I am - and she's now one of the best, if not THE BEST dancer I know (who isn't a professional teacher). And I will dance with the other team - I just won't have the administrative stuff I love doing. Maybe I'll enjoy dancing with no administrative junk. I still feel like no one stood up for me on the team, though. I know they didn't because they'd most likely be sitting right where I am if they had. It just hurts to see really good friends continue to take lessons from him like nothing happened. Like they have no idea the kind of person he is. I cared so much about the team - ...

So these are a couple of the MILLION photos I have from dance. I chose these for some reasons - mainly to make fun of myself. P.S. click next to them/on them/near them to see bigger versions :-) This one: Way to stand sideways next to the two smallest people you know, Carla. Way to go. How IS that 6th month of pregnancy??? This one: Posted out of pure love - look at my foot position - that says nothing but "Latin Dancer" And all four of us are in the right spot, doing the right thing, looking the right direction, and IT WAS CAUGHT ON FILM - well not film, digital memory card. So thanks, Dar-Dar for capturing this one. I love it. This one: Brent took it at a practice. Shortly after this I announced I had to go home before I puked all over my shoes. I had the stomach flu - and I wish you could see the close-up (click and you can!). I am laughing and look so happy (probably because I forgot where we are), and Jason is doing what I like to call the "dancing smile...
