The other day Alec the ROTR guy from work (Restaurants On The Run, they deliver food from various restaurants that don't offer delivery service) invited me to come to his swing dancing class that he teaches on Friday nights. So tonight at 7:30 I headed over to The Neighborhood Cup coffee house where the lessons are held. I had to sit and wait awhile since Alec was going to be filming a music video with his band and was rehearsing for it.
Swing Dancing was fun. Alec taught us some basic steps which were pretty easy although I really sucked on the last steps he taught us. I guess I'll have to get them down next time..
Todays class was a little small. Only 8 people showed up but I was told that class sizes vary. Last week they had 40 people! Most of the people there were highschool kids but it was still alot of fun. I cant wait for next week!
I stayed after class and watched them film the music video which was pretty cool too. All in all, it was a fun group and im excited for next time :)

And for todays blog we have...
...mmm nuthing much but I was trying for a catchy title.
Just so you know, my love for reading has returned. I read By The River Piedra, I Sat Down And Wept which was awesome just like anything Paulo Coelho writes is. I swear that man is the most brilliant, inspired, amazing, incredible person ever. It would be awesome to meet him some day, I'll put that on my to-do list..
I just now finished reading Memoirs of a Geisha and loved it! My friend Mo says that this is one of those few instances where the movie is actually better than the book. Psh, right. I guess I'll have to watch it to see if she's right.
Now that I've finished these two, its back to the library to start on the book list! :)

Books Books Books
Recently I have had a hard time getting into books which is very bizarre for me since I LOVE to read and will read pretty much any book be it a romance novel or a psychology book. I started reading Sense and Sensibility when I first came down here and it was good, but for some reason about half way through I lost interest and haven't felt the urge to pick the book back up again. Same with Honeymoon with My Brother and Choke. Eh, really I stopped reading Choke because I watched the movie right after I started reading it and it was pretty lame and the book wasn't doing so good so far either so I quit.
The last few times I went to the library I couldn't find anything that looked interesting, So today at work I decided I'd ask my co-workers what their favorite book is or one that they would recommend and the list below is what I ended up with (the name following it is who suggested it)
Wicked~Johnnie Thorton
The Art of Racing in the Rain~Samantha Winterburn
A Long Way Gone~Manager Dan
Grapes of Wrath~also Manager Dan
Helter Skelter~Shawn
The Reapers Line~Brenden
The Silmarillion~Sam Renihan
A Child Called It~Cynthia Bales
Journey of Desire~Melissa
Captivating~Melissa again
Time Travelers Wife~Terri
I'm excited! Right now I have By the River Piedra, I Sat Down and Wept by Paulo Coelho and Memoirs of a Geisha by Arthur Golden. I'll probably read those first and then get started on the list beginning with Grapes of Wrath or Wicked...cant decide but I'm REALLY excited :D
