Today was a wasted day. I got up late and read Harry Potter all day. I did manage to get outside and work out this evening, but it was brutal. What made it worse was that I wasn’t feeling that great today. The weekend really took it’s toll on me, as I don’t eat that much junk food or drink at much usually. My stomach was a mess. Actually, it still is.
My sister went to the doctor tonight and she is indeed pregnant. So is her sister-in-law (her husband’s sister). Both are due in March. They both feel that this was a gift from their late father/father-in-law. It’s nice that something good is happening. Besides I love babies and the more the merrier.
To Tango…
I wore a white skirt with big red poppies on it. A black shirt. Black heels. My hair was down and in its natural wavy state. I wore very little makeup and red lipstick.
It was a small club in Philly. I had never been there before and probably would never have found it without Tim and Rich. It was very dark inside and there was a band playing. There were people dancing and I was extremely intimidated. I’m not even a novice. We got some drinks and found a table. After a few drinks, I got the courage to dance a slow dance with Tim. A guy in the band was playing an acoustic song on the guitar. I must say that I didn’t do that bad. I let Tim lead and we just did the basic steps we knew. It was nice. Let’s say that all three of us danced the night away, as the club played all types of Latin American music. My feet hurt, my obliques were sore, and I was extremely sweaty. Once I got into the groove of the music, I just let the rhythms move me and I didn’t think about anything but the music. It was awesome.
The weird thing about a dance like the Tango is that it’s like sex in that unless you’re really passionate about your partner, it’s kind of awkward. I had a great time dancing, but the dance is very sensual and at times it’s odd to be pressing yourself up against someone that you’re not attracted to and who you know isn’t attracted to you. And it doesn’t help that your partner’s boyfriend of 2 years is watching. The best thing about the night was watching the professional people dancing. I was in awe of them. It was like watching art.
