Happy and or Random Thoughts

[Sagitta]

Sorry to hear about the car problem. Would have loved to see NY covered in white snow...Thanks. ACtually just the slight warming from the sun was enough to open the door....and thsi after I got everything together for my operation car recovery!!

[pygmalion]

This is the first time I'm actually glad I live in Texas. Frozen car locks are very rare, in my neck of the woods. :wink:

[lynn]

Frozen car locks? That's why you should always walk around with a cup of hot coffee in hand :wink:! You never know :lol: !! But don't forget the hose the key hole afterwards!

[lolita]

a random thought: why is there anything called TRADITIONS? why do we follow traditions? just becuz someone a long long time ago stated something and every oen followed him, why would we take it for granted as it is true!
who decided that skirts and dresses are for females? iit is unacceptable for a man to wear a dress, just becuz we r not used to it. what if that tradition stater stated that dresses are for men and pants are for ladies. i hate traditions.

[Rosa]

My car is frozen. Yesterday night was parked at teh wrond side of teh street, but could not move. No ticket today! :-)

Went to dig up de-icer and found that I have can, but no straw...

Frozen car locks? I'd be happy just to have the car! :cool: :D

Rosa :)

PS: Glad you got it sorted out.

Did you just say what i thought you said ? :) A coffee flavored key hole ? :shock:

:oops: Thanks. :)

A had an interesting experience today. On the way home, I stopped by the supermarket for dinner. I'm not picky. I just wanted something I didn't have to cook. :lol: I saw some gourmet cookies on sale and thought about buying a few dozen to share with my coworkers. I hesitated, but decided to go for it. Why not be nice, right?

As it turns out, the cookies rung up the wrong price in the computer, so I got all four dozen gourmet cookies free. The cashier and I agreed -- that was nature's way of reminding me to be thoughtful and kind, whenever I can. When you send good things out into the universe, good things come back. Not usually this quickly, but they do come back.yep....I'm not a big beleiver in labelling stuff like that when it happens but I do notice that it does and I do savor it....and you certainly deserve it...I hope you lap it up .....and I hope when its my turn I'll be buying margaritas:cool:

Yep. I know what you mean. I'm not much for labelling, either. Too many years of hearing people blame events on fate or God's will, I suppose. But I do believe that the universe of human interactions is a closed system. What you send out, you get back, eventually, I think. And all the better if what you get back is margaritas. :wink: :lol:

I HAVE A DANCE LESSON TODAY:bouncy: :banana: :banana:

[lynn]

our studio was closed during the Christmas holidays so i was without dance lessons for about 3 weeks - i could hardly remember which foot goes where :shock: !!

[lynn]

Did you just say what i thought you said ? :) A coffee flavored key hole ? :shock:

but then your car will smell really nice! Esp now that our office has vanilla & hazelnut flavoured coffee - yummy smell!!

[lynn]

no kidding, 3 weeks without dance class is far too long! I forgot about 1/2 of my routines and i kept on tripping over my teacher!

As long as it is the "no fun" version of coffee....the coffee without the kick.

[Sagitta]

o.k., 3 weeks without dance classes AND real dancing.....can anything get any worse than this :wink: ??!!

[chachachacat]

The Crystal Ballroom sounds beautiful. It's always a real treat to dance somewhere gracious and elegant and really beautiful.

I wish there were more places like this in every city.

So how did it go last night???

[It's Wonderful]

Amazing. Just amazing. We had, at the highest head, count 1,105 dancers!!!! It's unbelievable! Swing is back!!! It was a lot of beginners there for the free class and dancing, but there were also a ton of really excellent dancers, and everyone had a blast. I hope all the beginners keep coming back, it was awesome! (can you tell I'm excited?)

Wow! I'd be excited too! Young dancers or older or a nice mix?

[It's Wonderful]

A very nice mix, I thought. Heavy on the mid-twenties, but there were plenty in their late teens, a few younger, and wide variety of people 30 through 60-ish. I think there were enough in each age range that if you felt inclined to hang out with a similar group, you could. I really didn't pay much attention, I was having too much fun dancing :p I'm working on getting some pictures and videos that I took online - I'll post here when it's up.

[Twilight_Elena]

o.k., 3 weeks without dance classes AND real dancing.....can anything get any worse than this :wink: ??!!

You must be joking, surely. I'm stopping dancing for 6 weeks because of exams.

Twilight Elena

[Twilight_Elena]

I'm procrastinating a lab report. I really shouldn't because it's due tomorrow and I've got dancing to do tonight. But meh.

Hmm, remind me of the time i squeezed in my 10 page paper 2 hours before the dead line.....*shivers*......

Thighs are sore from the hip abductor/adductor machine. That's what a 6 week break gets you!! Anyway...By the end of this year I'll be playing on that machine as end of last year I was doing the whole stack...

I have what is probably an unhealthy love of those weight machines...I'm consistently at about 2/3 of the weight stack and looking to improve it as much as possible.

[lolita]

happy thought..exams are done in 12 days... back to dancing after 6 weeks of undesired rest.

[africana]

my roommate asked if i wanted to go skiing and without missing a beat i replied, "i certainly do not, i can't risk it." she was like, "wha?" that's when i realized that dancing is WAAAAAAAAAAAy too important to me :)

[africana]

:lol: i can't tell you how many times i've forgone hiking or some otehr activity fo the sake of saving my limbs for dancing

i just bought my first pair of pointy-toed boots :) boy it took me a while to wrap my mind around the concept, but they feel comfy and look "fashionable"

[lynn]

[Twilight_Elena]

I have hated pointy shoes ever since I first saw them. One of my friends calls them cocroach killers. :lol: He has a point.

thanks TE...oh and here is my random thought for the day...I love my ex-boss b/c she not only introduced me to ballroom dancing but also to earplugs....I sleep very lighly and she brought them with her to osb b/c she snores like a jackhammer and didnt want to keep me awake...I have slept beautifully ever since:cool:

[Sagitta]

I keep my era plugs for dancing to loud music. I'm afraid I'll sleep through my cell phone alarm, otherwise. Thinking of making small buns with meat inside and kul kuls today. After I got and buy coolant for my car. ta ta. :-)

What kind of earplugs are so miraculous?

[fascination]

What kind of earplugs are so miraculous?they are just these foam cylanders that you can buy at walgreens ...they come in like packs of 40 ...and you just shove em in and go to bed;)

[pygmalion]

I've been wondering all day why you've slept so well ever since OSB. Loud neighbors or snoring hubby. Hmm. I shan't ask. That would be too rude. I'll just wonder aloud. :wink: :lol:

[pygmalion]

Okay. Back to bed for me. I had a long and productive work day, today. But I think I want to wimp out and grab a little more rest while I have the chance. :lol: When my body signals me by getting sick, that means I've pushed myself way too far. Bed, hot water bottle, and tea for one. Coming right up. :wink: :)

[Sagitta]

made sooji dish. Fried some mustard seeds in oil, turned down teh heat, ands fried some curry path leaves. Then added onions (cut fine), tomatoes, tumeric, salt, pepper... fried for a while. Added water and heated to boiling. Then added toasted semolina pasta flour. I really shoudl ahve used coarser semolina but sued thsi substitute as I coudln't find the coarser version. then at teh end add cut up cilantro. Delicious. :-)

Making bread now. :-)

[pygmalion]

Ooh! Sounds yummy.

I wish I had tomorrow off from work, so I could cook up something good.

I think I need a new job...one that involves actual holidays. :lol:

Understood. Why do you think I've been using the same fake tree for the past five years? No need to recycle. :cool: :lol:

Not nearly as much fun, though. I guess you can't have everything. :?

First full week of dance. Going to check out Tuesday night...must call friends...Practice Wednesday and Thursday...hmmm...FRiday?...

[Twilight_Elena]

Not nearly as much fun, though. I guess you can't have everything. :?

Nah, it's fun. After all, it's decorative. No reason to use real trees. We used to have a real tree (in a pot) and it was hell each year. Not to mention it went yellow and all. Meh.

Need to get more exercise...

[diputs]

Need to get SOME exercise!

I'm going out next week for a local fun run to raise some money for charity... could be worth a try?

I was off yesterday for the holiday - spent it painting the kitchen!

[fascination]

not happy...just horribly random...my co-worker...a wonderful nurses aide for hospice, was struck and killed by a semi leaving her first nursing hom of the day this morning...she was the single mother of two struggling teenagers.....please keep her family in your thoughts....

[pygmalion]

OMG! :cry: Yes. Her children, especially, will be in my prayers tonight.

I feel like such heel. My random thought was going to be about gardening, of all the shallow things. Yeesh! :?

[fascination]

[pygmalion]

I will.

On a totally unrelated note (and since you've made me feel better about being shallow lol) where would one buy a very, very small gazebo? I have a landscaping project planned for my teeny, tiny yard, and I want a gazebo in the middle of it. One. I went to Home Depot and Lowes today. No gazebo. Two. I'm not the gazebo building type of gal. Am I out of luck? :?

[pygmalion]

*giggle* That's Plan B. Plan C? Hire a professional. :lol:

[fascination]

well yeah, but not as much fun

[pygmalion]

Exactly. My landscaping plan is to do stuff this year so I can fire my lawn guy next year. I want organized chaos; I want my yard/garden to be planned, but look totally unplanned with (surprise!) a gazebo in the middle (for midsummer romantic trysts, of course. :wink: :lol: ) And , of course, no mowing required.

That said, I have to get on the ball. The time is now, if next year is my deadline.

I found the fake pond I want easily enough. Benches too. Just no gazebo. Maybe I should google. :idea:

[pygmalion]

I'm with you on the organized chaos. But I like a little more seclusion. I say a little, because every gazebo I've ever seen has giant, open-to-the-world, cutout windows. But yeah. A little shadow is a good thing, IMO. :wink:

Whatever you do, don't put a fountain. All the water noise must be a killer at night when you're trying to sleep.
Oh, and :google: is your friend. ;) http://www .gazebodepot.com/

Twilight ELena

[pygmalion]

Ah yes! The mighty google. :D :notworth:

I probably will have some sort of fountain -- just to keep the water from stagnating. I'm pretty sure you can switch them on and off, though. *shrug* I guess I'll find out. :)

Edit: I checked out that website, T_E. Cool! I'll definitely consider them as an option. I'd rather find something local, to help avoid high shipping costs. But, if I can't gazebo depot has a very nice selection. At least very least, I have some ideas I can work with. :)

[Rosa]

Woohoo! Way to go, Rosa! :)

Thanks, everybody, for your good wishes, but the deal has just fallen through. :( The buyers couldn't get the loan they needed.

*sighs*... you win some, you lose some...

But two other families are interested and we hope to close a new deal within the next day or two.

Rosa :)

[pygmalion]

Yeah. Buying and selling houses can be a tricky business. :?

[Swingolder]

My dh says he is never moving again, he hates the whole process. I don't like the anxiety of waiting for a buyer or hoping the seller accepts our offer, but the rest of it is fun. Cleaning up and cleaning out before the move and then finding new places to put all the stuff in a new place.

[Medira]

On the upside though, there *are* other interested parties! I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you Rosa!

[cl5814]

"Strictly come dancing" is coming to South Africa in February on local TV. And i heard from a trustworthy source that Michael Wentink would be on the show.

Local TV (as opposed to satellite tv) means that everybody will have the opportunity to see the show.

Im flying to sandiego! Yippee!
Warmth!
Dancing!
Last minute adventure!

On the upside though, there *are* other interested parties! I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you Rosa!

Thanks, Medira. But things have moved on... the house is now sold! One of the other families took it (contracts were signed on Friday), and though I say so myself, I'm sure they'll have a very happy life here. :D

Rosa :)

[pygmalion]

Woohoo! I was going to ask for an update. Yay for you! :banana:

[Rosa]

Thanks, pygmalion. I've got mixed feelings.. and it all happened so quickly in the end... but life must go on.

Rosa :)

[pygmalion]

Yeah. I had a feeling that the parting might include some sweet sorrow. I remember moving out of my house last year -- a place I hated because of all the memories there. But still, I had mixed feelings, too. :?

[fascination]

a house even full of bad memories is a known and safe quantity...at least it was for me...we moved out of our itty bitty trilevel to a nice sized but not fancy house and I should have been overjoyed but it really unsettled me and made me feel lost...and then I made a new home

That really is true, isn't it? A therapist was explaining to me once about how unsettling it can be for people who grow up in poverty to fall into money or improve their standard of living. She explained that even though poverty sucks, it's still a known quantity, as opposed to a change in one's circumstances which is by definition an unknown quantity.

That sums up exactly how I feel.

Well, since I'm going to be a displaced person anyway, I think the time has come to realise my ambition to visit Latin America. I'm looking into language schools there - my Spanish is already quite good but there's always room for improvement. I'm looking into some courses that combine Spanish classes in the morning with Cuban salsa in the afternoon.

Actually, that happened to me. I grew up in poverty (I don't want you to think I was walking around without shoes or anything, but we were definitely poor), then I married a professional man with a high income, who came from a rich family.

We were married for a long time, but looking back, I realise that I never felt at home being part of his family. There was always some sort of mental barrier there - I couldn't understand them and their ways, and vice-versa. Yet, over time, it came to be a known quantity, and I suppose that's why I stuck it out far longer than was good for me.

I see now that material security had a lot to do with my marrying him in the first place (though I didn't think that at the time - I genuinely believed I loved him when I married him.) It's so easy to see things with hindsight, isn't it...

Anyway, I now understand where John Lennon was coming from when he wrote "I don't care too much for money, money can't buy me love."

That's true, it can't buy you love, but walking out of this marriage now with half of our joint assets, I see that it can buy you freedom.

yesterday someone complained to my boss that I was doing my job while wearing...get this...hot pink....sheesh:rolleyes: I had to sgn a document acknowleging ther ewas a complaint that I wore hot pink...sheesh...and I had a crown put in...and well everyone seemed to be bucking for a fight yester day...today was great, ....mom's last radiation is monday...and instead of doing chemo through june they are going to stop after feb if her scan is clear...(crossing fingers) she looked very tired last week and pretty space out so I am releived

[pygmalion]

people are weird. Why the heck not wear hot pink? Because you're a grief counselor? That's ridiculous, at least in American culture. In some countries, color is very, very important, when it comes to the grieving process. But not here.

I'll never forget an old lady at my old church -- Sister Robinson, who was 85 when I last saw her, a couple years before she died. She wore red every day that I knew her. Period. And, from what I heard (I'd moved away) she wore red at her funeral, too, by her choice.

So hot pink doesn't work? Sounds like your client or his/her family has issues with accepting the possibility of mortality. Hmm. Not your fault. Sad. But not your fault. :?

[cornutt]

yesterday someone complained to my boss that I was doing my job while wearing...get this...hot pink....sheesh:rolleyes:

There are way too many people running around looking for things to be offended at. At a place I worked at about ten years ago, one of my co-workers had a framed portrait of his DW in her wedding dress on his desk. She was a pretty lady, but it wasn't a wedding dress that was particularly revealing or anything. Someone complained that the presence of the photo constituted sexual harassment, and management forced him to remove it.

Happy thought for this Owl or rather happy event with happy thoughts attached.

I just had a new CD come out recently and it's starting to get some nibbles on CD Baby and another retailer, here's the CD Baby page:

This definitely AIN'T dance music BTW, I leave tha tto the experts ;)

[delamusica]

I've been teaching a dance class at my university for a little while now - students take it for a gym credit, and it's just a very intro-level class.

But, the exciting news is this: The final number of students registered for this semester is . . . . (drumroll, please) . . ..

92!

It's huge! I think it's great that so many people are interested (even though that's going to be A LOT of papers to grade come midterms/finals!).

[cornutt]

92!


How on earth are you going to teach 92 students?

Pretty much the same way I taught 70 the last few semesters, just a little more crowded. :)

I don't worry much about technique in the feet beyond heel lead vs. toe lead - most of the technique I talk about is in terms of frame and leading/following. Obviously I can't be too picky.

Right now we're almost done with our first unit, which is foxtrot and salsa. I've managed to get them all to do a basic, left rock turn, and promenade walks with an underarm turn at the end in foxtrot. In salsa, they can do a basic, an underarm turn, and a cross body lead.

Ok, so their foxtrot looks a lot like walking and their salsa is a little sloppy. But they all follow line of dance in foxtrot and are mostly on time in both dances, and they can generally get through a whole song without stopping to regroup more than once or twice. They may not look great, but they can get through it and have fun, which is pretty much the point of this particular class. :)

On a happier note...I made small buns with fillings. No basting brush anywhere (one of thees days I'll kill my housemate for moving things around...and who knows may have ended up in a painting project..:-() so the brushing with egg yolk to give a rosy color didn't work too good.

Fascination,
I work for a dentist. Dab a little vaseline inside the temporary and pop it back on. I'm hoping it's just cold sensitive, if so, getting the temporary back on will fix it - and get back in to your dentist soon to have it put on with temporary cement. I hope you get the permanent crown on soon!

There is a lot of sun here this morning so six more weeks of winter. Although as mild as it has been so far, I guess that won't be too bad. 52 degrees this afternoon - I haven't worn my cords and big heavy sweaters to work since the second week of December.
