Another great weekend

Ok, so I'm super excited right now.  I got the most beautiful new dress today - for under $40!  It will be perfect for dancing at BLS, wearing as a cocktail dress, going to the symphony, even going to church (with a few minor adjustments).  Ah, I'm just so happy; it's something I've been wanting for a while.  Anyway, I just thought I'd share my moment of bliss.  :)

In other news, I'm pretty much exhausted.  Between BLS last night and wandering around downtown Little Rock today, my feet have taken quite a bit of abuse.  It was worth it, though.  I mean, hanging out with three awesome friends, learning the samba, filling up camera memory, admiring art, enjoying incredible pizza, shopping...what a way to spend the weekend.   

So, I really like the samba.   That's one thing I learned last night.  Another thing I learned was that I have a lot to learn.  :)  I'll suffice it to say that the entire evening served as fresh motivation to find a dress, some better dance shoes, and a good instructor.  Finding an instructor is probably going to be the most difficult of the things on that list, but probably the most crucial.  I've learned a lot of the basics of a lot of different dances, but I feel like the more I dance them, the more I'm practicing my mistakes.  So, I'd really like to find someone who can tighten up my technique and help me move beyond "playing around," because if I'm going to do this, I'm going to go all the way.  No half-hearted dabbling.  Life's too short for that.

Well, I'm getting distracted, so until I post again...PDMS, guys.  ;)
