take a bellydancing class (read all 2 entries…)
I LOVE it 4 months ago

I am completely obsessed with bellydancing. I actually want to do crunches and push-ups now, so I can dance better. I never saw that coming! And I bought my first hip scarf with jingly coins. That totally makes me want to practice just to jingle. And I bought a DVD and set up to record a bellydancing workout series on FitTV. Can you tell I really am obsessed?

This week: 4 months ago

Went to the grocery store and bought 3 fruits I’d never had before and tried them- a Zulufruit, a pepino melon, and a red pear. Then I sat out and had a fruit picnic to eat each one in the living room.
