Dancing

I have this little obsession...dancing.  I started doing ballroom dancing....I can't stop now.  I will be dancing in a competition on Sunday.  12 entries.  6 dances. 2 ballroom gowns.  And a good time with my dancing friends.  Hopefully I'll be able to post some pictures soon!  

Oh, one of the gowns I am borrowing from my inspiration to start dancing.  (THANKS ELAINE!)  The other one is an altered bridesmaid gown.  I am taking my very first bridesmaid gown (Jess's) and making into a fun dancing dress.   

By the way...I'll be taking a personal day on Monday...it's the first day I left my students with a substitute.

Almost over..

The first weekend of August...I ran my car into a retaining wall.  :-(

The rest of the story is almost unreal. 

1st Rental Car - PT Cruiser
  • Received on August 11
  • August 13 - went to leave the house and it had a flat tire
  • I changed the tire and drove it to the nearest Enterprise
  • They didn't have any cars left
2nd Rental Car - Toyota Tundra
  • Received on August 13
  • August 30 - License plate stolen/lost
  • September 2 - return to Enterprise
  • I got notified of a "bulls eye" from a rock on the windshield
  • Had to be charged $250.00 to cover cost of windshield until their claims department calls me to settle

3rd Rental Car - Nissan Sentra
  • Received on September 2
  • Will be turning this car in tomorrow because rumor has it...that my car is ready to be picked up.  

I am not going to hold my breath.
