Week 3: Up and Down
So I finally figured out this new blogger stuff. Here's what you all have been missing for the past 6+ months... start where you left off and work your way up.
I should go to bed, but I thought I’d shoot off a quick update on my "dancing" lessons. Things are going great... I mean I still fall on my ass from time to time, but I’m actually making it around the pole more often then not, and I’m starting to add a little sexy attitude to my moves (instead of just squeezing my eyes shut and praying for it to end.)
However, I’m thinking I need to tone down the sexy a little. My parents came to visit today and we went to the mall. While my mother and I were browsing in the book store, a slow song started playing over the intercom. Before I knew it my hips started moving to the music in a very suggestive manner. Thankfully I caught myself before she turned around and saw.
I’ve told my folks I was taking the classes, and besides my mother’s ear shattering scream when I broke the news over the phone... they’ve been fine with it. My dad even offered to help my husband put up a pole in our apartment if it meant he’d get grandkids sooner (swear to god that’s what he said!)
Back to my progress on the pole. I still have bruises, but they don’t bother me as much, nor do the sore muscles. And while I feel like I’m in a lot better shape, I haven’t lost any weight.
As for my social goals, I’m taking baby steps there. During my last class one of the girls came up to me and wanted to be my pole buddy (get your mind out of the gutter.) We had shared a pole in a previous class (there are only so many to go around,) and had gotten along. Of course I was shocked by her request and handled it badly by squeaking out a startled "why?" But we had a blast and laughed and cheered each other on the whole time.
Of course I’m trying to play it cool, giving everyone the diluted version of Sassy(you know, the one where I rarely talk about myself or act like I know everything.) But I can’t quite stamp down "pessimistic" Sassy. She reared her ugly head shortly after I gained my new pole buddy. I’m trying very hard to ignore my suspicions that my new friend only wanted to share the pole with me because I’m one of the worst in the class and just about anyone looks good next to me.
But I won’t let it get me down if she blows me off next time... I’ll just work harder at being friendly with whoever’s around me ^_^*

Whew! Read it all. All I have to say is:
1. I miss you!
2. When are you coming to visit?
1. I miss you too!
2. Tell me when you'll be home in April... I can't take time off in May and I we may be going somewhere in June.
