Fridays are quiet at my job~  — 2 weeks ago

Since I am the only one here I can crank up the music…today it’s Mick Jaguar & David Bowie…who could resist Dancing in the Street? :)

It's raining and business is slow  — 2 weeks ago

So I turned on Garth Brooks and danced around the showroom to I’ve Got Friends in Low Places…way fun. ;)

Blame it all on my roots
I showed up in boots
And ruined your black tie affair
The last one to know
The last one to show
I was the last one
You thought you’d see there
And I saw the surprise
And the fear in his eyes
When I took his glass of champagne
And I toasted you
Said, honey, we may be through
But you’ll never hear me complain

‘Cause I’ve got friends in low places
Where the whiskey drowns
And the beer chases my blues away
And I’ll be okay
I’m not big on social graces
Think I’ll slip on down to the oasis
Oh, I’ve got friends in low places

Well, I guess I was wrong
I just don’t belong
But then, I’ve been there before
Everything’s all right
I’ll just say goodnight
And I’ll show myself to the door
Hey, I didn’t mean
To cause a big scene
Just give me an hour and then
Well, I’ll be as high
As that ivory tower
That you’re livin’ in

‘Cause I’ve got friends in low places
Where the whiskey drowns
And the beer chases my blues away
And I’ll be okay
I’m not big on social graces
Think I’ll slip on down to the oasis
Oh, I’ve got friends in low places

3rd Verse:
I guess I was wrong
I just don’t belong
But then, I’ve been there before
And everything is alright
I’ll just say goodnight
And I’ll show myself to the door
I didn’t mean to cause a big scene
Just wait ‘til I finish this glass
Then sweet little lady
I’ll head back to the bar
And you can kiss my ass

There are free Country Western dance lessons  — 1 month ago

every Wednesday evening at a local honky tonk. A friend has been going and loves it. I have been staying away but last night I was actually listening to a local radio station called “Hank radio”.

After I stopped laughing at the name (reminded me of King of the Hill)I started enjoying the music, missing all of the times I went dancing at Billy Bob’s or other great places in the Fort Worth Stockyards.

Maybe I should try the dance lessons here in the wilderness.

Absolutely my most favorite thing  — 2 months ago

in the world to do is to dance. I am dancin’ around the shop today…can’t seem to stay in my seat.

Shimmy Shimmy~  — 4 months ago

I have been practicing the Shimmy with a program on Direct TV. It has been fun to do alone in the living room but I’m not sure I’d show anyone my new dance.

Maybe with a little more practice.

Lately I have been  — 5 months ago

dancing with friends at clubs and at home just for fun. They are amazed that I dance so well. It is fun! Dancing brings me so much joy.

When I was young I spent hours dancing around the house and knew all of the new dances as they came out. I wanted to take formal lessons but was not allowed by my mother.

Her critical words still ring in my mind. Sadly, I listened to her instead of developing a God given talent.

No regrets. It is a much sweeter past time for that. ;)

I read/heard once that  — 8 months ago

the TV entertainers (talk show hosts, newscasters, etc) usually have a theme song that pumps them up for their entrance onto the stage…that’s why they have the confident smile and spring in their step…or so the story went.

I once had a friend that marched to John Philip Sousa music each morning around her apartment. She swore it fends off depression and made her smile.

I’m putting some thought into this.

What song would you choose?

For all you ballerinas~  — 10 months ago

I love the ballet! One of my regrets in life is I never studied it but that does not stop me from being an avid fan!

I just found a delightful library of balletvideos on You Tube. It isn’t the same as watching in the theater but it is beautiful just the same.

What did we do before the Internet?  — 10 months ago

This week I found music for everyone at US Live Radio with 2500 streaming radio stations around the country plus stations in Canada, Australia, Europe and New Zealand.

Dance on my Friends! :)

Jazzercise and aerobic dance~  — 10 months ago

I used to do this two – three times a week plus my friends and I went dancing alot when I was in Texas.

That is something I would love to find to do here…good for all that ails me.
