Zumba, Dreams, Halloween



I went to ZUMBA for the very time with my good friend Emmy this week.  It was a lot of fun.  It also was hard.  I am so out of shape.  I also felt like the most awkward woman in the room.  I like what Emmy said, "She (the instructor) makes me feel so white!"  That was spot on!  Poor white women with no rhythm.  The funny thing is we both can dance.  I can really appreciate the stars on DWTS now.  It is seriously like okay your going to do a dance you have never done before and you just follow along.  Oh and it is a mix of Latin and Belly dancing.  I do think a lot of it is muscle memory.  But the thing is, I liked it.  It was nice to be out doing something that wasn't grocery shopping, taxiing kids around, or making meals.  This was all about me.  And I like to be all about me...sometimes.

I had a very bizarre dream last night.  I am guessing my nose must have been completely blocked on one side because in this dream I had cotton balls, wads of toilet paper, and even a plastic bag up in there.  I wasn't picking my nose in my dream.  However, I had like an inside view.  Think The Fantastic Voyage.  Or for you younger folk, Innerspace.  

Now that I have completely grossed you all out, why don't you go and visit my other blogs today:  Point and Shoot and Metabolism Blues.

Have a Happy and safe Halloween!!

I am so glad you posted that video, because I had no idea what Zumba was. Now I really want to go to a zumba class because I feel fubsy (real word! I just learned it and right now it is possibly my favorite word ever) and I know exercise is exactly what I need.

What a funny dream! I hate when I have dreams like that. This morning I dreamed that my hubby brought the baby to me, but she didn't want to eat from me, she only wanted to suck her thumb, which is weird because she hasn't sucked her thumb since she was a new born. Funny what dreams do to you.

Isn't it crazy how your dreams sometimes feel so real based off something in your sleep!

Seriously, glad you liked the zumba. I have been hearing so much about it.

Huh. And I always thought Zumba was some kind of sports drink.

A Leave of Absence

Image
I just wanted let you all know that I am taking a (short) leave of absence. I was feeling under the weather last Friday, and Saturday I was a lump. By Monday I felt almost normal again. Tuesday even better! By Wednesday night the whole left side of my face felt completely packed. Today(Thursday) I am at death's door. Or maybe it's at mine! All I know is, I haven't felt this crappy in a long time. I spent the day at my mom's and mostly slept. Thanks Mom. Now Rich is home and he is running the show. I shall return...as soon as I stop feeling like this.

Dancing with the Stars---Dead

Image
That is how the show was introduced on Halloween night.  "Dead, from Hollywood, it's Dancing with the Stars!"  with your host, Tom Boooo-geron! Oh and Brooke who didn't get a play on her name.  Tonight, the dances are all spooktacularly themed.  Plus there is also a team dance. David and Kym 1-800-868-3406 David and Kym are dancing The Cha Cha and David wants to add magic to the act, so they bring in a professional magician to help with some basic tricks.  I enjoyed their Cha Cha.  It was fun. Len said it had  lots of tricks and treats and that David turned himself into a dancer! Bruno told him he has got the prestige, and that he was a natural at turning tricks. Carrie Ann said his improvement was phenomenal. She said he was polished and finessed, but that he needed to work on his holds. Scores: Carrie Ann:  8 Len: 8 Bruno: 8 Total: 24  JR and Karina 1-800-868-3410 JR and Karina are dancing the Tango to Ghostbusters. Why do they give such ch
