I am scared and excited about doing it! The date is set for Saturday, March 10th, 4-6pm. We haven't yet got the location we want. Must do it Monday. It's not much time, but it would have otherwise had to be after May. I've got five, maybe six instructors who've agreed to come to town from Lilianahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14277404229549584813noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9104487.post-53249374094488509922012-02-07T10:31:00.001-07:002012-02-11T12:06:08.976-07:00My cousin died a couple days ago. Age 68. In Vermont. Fell on ice, hit his head, and died. His sister got an email about it. Usually you'd think a phone call would be in order but things are not all that they could be. Things are broken. So he's gone. And it's very weird to think of that.

I had 23 people in class! We finished with a big Conga line. Haha! It was fun, fun. At my church it is the year of Double Portion so I've been prayin' and puttin' legs on my prayers and I got an answer even better than I'd anticipated. I earned more than twice what I earned last January! That's a double portion. God is good, all the time.

Well. Suffice to say, I don't think the instructor I know is renegotiating her deal. I'm not going to ask her what happened. I don't want to make her feel any more down than she's probably already feeling. But, word on the street is she was fired. Fired! That's the word from the gym.

I sang tonight. My first time. I had such fun. Now I can't stop thinking of more songs I wanna sing. I sang Bye, bye, Miss American Pie, drove my chevy to the levy but the levy was dry. The words were really easy to see in front of me and the word you're supposed to sing lights up. I killed part of the song because I only know the chorus by heart, but luckily my friend, Sarah, Lilianahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14277404229549584813noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9104487.post-13711251672689329632012-01-18T02:18:00.000-07:002012-01-18T02:18:30.181-07:00I bought a totally cute top online.

Sold two sets of toning sticks. They'll love 'em. I sure do.
So I saw a thread at the Zumba forum tonight. Questioner says, "My classes are small and I want growth, so how do you get an old hippie community inspired?"
The answerer says, "even old hippies need to exercise, don't they?

At 10:30am. With Zumba music playing in my head. Then I got butterflies in my stomach.
Twenty-two students Tuesday night and I expect a generous turnout tonight too. I'm learning and improving as an instructor I think. To my mind, the class is a little bit easy but to non-dancers and those who are just getting into a fitness routine, it is not. I've slowed myself down a bit Lilianahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14277404229549584813noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9104487.post-59243058277394450532012-01-11T02:15:00.000-07:002012-01-12T11:53:57.597-07:00It went very well and on my husband's advice I decided not to make an announcement to the entire class, but rather take the one person aside and talk with her when class was over. She started to cry and apologized half a dozen times before I even said three words. We talked a few minutes. She hugged me. I hope it never happens again.

We ate tamales for lunch then watched Passion of The Christ, then sat down for more tamales (I had chicken soup) and she, my husband, and I, talked over dinner for an hour. Then we did a Bible study on the Parable of the Sower aka The Parable of the Four Soils. Then at about 9pm she left. Tomorrow we might go shopping.

They said they'd call today and last time she called me for the clerical test she called at 10:00am. Someone did better than I did on the interview and clerical test and that's not a far stretch to figure on. Shoot. So it was practice for the next job interview.

Zumba was fun tonight. Eleven people. We did a new routine that's humorous - a funny song called "Chocolate (Choco Choco)." Next week I'm adding a bachata! I'm excited about it. It'll be a brand new style for our class. I hadn't even heard of bachata before Zumba. I sold one pair of sticks too.

I learned about typology. I learned about Eljah and Elisha. Elijah was a prophet. Well, yeah, he has his own book in the Old Testament, so I kind of knew that. Elisha was his servant, as in, student. Elijah was Elisha's mentor. I was never sure if the two names were the same person or two different people. It's two different people.

My lip swelled up. I looked like a duck. Now my lip is down but I have a big welt on bottom of right foot. I can still wear my heels though. I tried them on and was able to walk fine. Can't walk fine flat footed though.
Took a Zyrtec at 5pm and hope it resolves my problem well enough to look fine tomorrow; and to walk fine.

I washed it last night and just lay it over the top of my pillow when I sleep. I have hardly any tangles in the morning. There have been times when I thought I should cut it because it's not as thick toward the bottom as the top. I'm glad I didn't. I like having long hair.
No welts today, but I burnt my hand pretty good on a cookie sheet. Sheesh.

He's a quarterback for the Denver Broncos. He's an unapologetic Christian and tends to say a prayer on one knee now and then on the field. On tv. So now everyone calls it Tebowing. I tebow a lot but I've never done it on one knee. I've done it on two knees? Yes.

Husband walked outside to empty the trash and the porch broke. It's just a good thing my dad wasn't the one walking outside. The UPS guy is being funny leaving my package on the top step.
Good news! Pastor is going to change the schedule so play practice will be during Zumba. She asked me if it would be okay with me. Very sweet of her. Woohooooo! So happy.

When Jesus left he told everyone to wait for the promise. About 500 heard him say, wait, tarry, but of those only 120 stayed.

Last night had a big, shall we say, discussion, with son in which I yelled like a banshee. It's not my best look. It's not my best side.

I like the saying that pretty is skin deep, but ugly goes to the bone. My favorite saying is, "Hoo-rahed by a little girl," a line from the western movie True Grit. If my husband is watching a movie I ask, "Are there any girls in it?" Because movies with all guys are usually boring. I do like one oldie movie that has all guys, The Treasure of Sierra Madre.

F is for Furry
Firstly, F reminds me of Angel's fur. She is the sweetest cat I ever knew. She gets into everyone's lap. If you sit, she will climb up to your lap.

In California, the only people I knew who had a horse were either well off and had gorgeous homes with expansive, well-kept property or people who kept a horse in a rented stable.

My first one is about how I got an epiphany. A pastor I pray for went to Las Vegas. There are so many wonderful places to go for a vacation that I cannot understand him choosing Vegas to celebrate his birthday. It has a nickname: Sin City. I'm sure, surely, he partook of Lilianahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14277404229549584813noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9104487.post-1289642888740234132011-08-01T11:46:00.002-06:002011-08-01T11:47:07.222-06:00I feel terrible today. We watched Ordinary People last night and I think I could have done without it.
I have two more zits.
Want to do a new routine Tuesday but not sure I have it down pat enough.

How will I use it? I got my period and I feel like laying in bed all day. Can't though. I have a zit under my chin, so I wanna stay home all day but I can't do that either. I have Zumba tonight.
For the adults I'm working on a fun song called "Zumba He Zumba Ha." For the kids next week, I think I'll do a bit of dance history and teach them how to do the Twist.

I tried to do Facebook, but I just can't keep with it. People started posting more on my page and I can't deal with it. I'm a blogger at heart.

I have playlists ready for both classes. I'm getting nervous. I thought I was ready but now I'm not so sure. I did a practice run with a few kids on Thursday and it went okay. Just okay. The kids who stuck with the whole 30 minutes, about seven girls, seemed to love it. I think.
Basically, I'm worried. Even with the little group I forgot a few of my steps.

I'm getting to know so many people. Ladies. And it's because of Zumba. Tonight there were 14 in class. It's amazing. It's so hot and humid and we sweat buckets yet they keep coming back.

It was a bit of heaven on earth.
I have made friends. Even, I have made more than one friend. It's all because of Zumba.
They made for me a birthday party on Friday. A surprise birthday party! Mayela was the prime mover. She made it happen. They were all so kind. There were presents. There was food. Cake. Balloons. And friends.

I will keep concentrating and continue to feel more and more better. In my heart. Truly, a little bit of stumbling is good experience because it's the only way you keep moving. I didn't stumble actually, but I thought I'd feel different is all. Or maybe I didn't know I could feel bad like this.

I always like it and learn a lot from it. We have a student from Oral Roberts University here on a summer internship and I would like to talk to him. He seems interesting.
My day was good.
But I got mad because I ordered two Zumba t-shirts for a total of $28.90 only to find a set of 12 for $42.95 on the Zumba shop site this morning.

I can't stop reading scripture. I can hardly put my Bible away. I'm learning it remarkably efficiently and am finding verses I need to support my witness. One scripture leads to another and supports the one before and after.

At the Renaissance Fair last month an old woman (I say old but she couldn't have been more than 10 or 15 years older than I) asked me for money to buy a drink. She was thirsty and she had no money. It was a hot day. I had purchased a lemonade for myself and a friend an hour before.
