Bunnies and Dancing
Yesterday was a good day for the most part. We got Erica a bunny on Monday. Which Karel is not all that thrilled about because of his allergies to animal fur. But the family was going to get rid of her because they already have another bunny who is much more lovable and since Karel and I are getting divorced, I figured having an animal around would be good for the kids. Erica is in seventh heaven, not surprising. She was even soothing the bunny after she escaped while I was fixing her water bowl and scratched up my arm hard while I was putting her back in. So now I have bunny battle scars. FUN. I have to watch the scratches, some of them are kind of deep and I don’t need to get infections right now.
Erica was also taken bike riding by her grampa yesterday. They were gone for at least four hours. Grampa says that Erica is a real trooper, didn’t complain and was up to every challenge. We are going to have to get her a real bike, one with gears. My daughter happy outside? no..say it isn’t so! I swear, my daughter is going to be a vet in some backwoods little town with her jeep and bicycle and she’ll be so happy a guy will have to wear an animal suit to get her attention. *laughter*
Speaking of guys, I had my second dance class last night. If I haven’t mentioned this before I LOVE my dance class. I love dancing, I love the romance of dancing, I love the completely safe dominated feeling of being led in a dance. Yes, I’m a throwback probably, but it feels great when the guy knows what he is doing and takes you along for the ride. That probably holds true for many things. *grin*
*rant* Guys, when dancing with a girl, it is not a bad thing to securely hold her in your arms. You won’t burst into flames and die. One of the boys in the class will hardly achknowledge your presense and dancing with him is like dancing with a ghost. It can be very frustrating. And you can’t lead the girl in the dance if you won’t hold onto her.If you don’t have good contact and tension between the two bodies dancing, it’s not going to work. The moves won’t flow very well and the girl will have no idea what you want her to do.
*end rant*
So we added a turn to our nightclub 2 step basic footwork and had a ball. Next month she’s going to be teaching Salsa. I love Salsa dancing, I’m not very good at it, but when I watch people at my events that do know what they are doing, it looks like so much fun. Fortunately my friend Richard is also taking the class so I have someone I know I can practice with. Richard is a great guy, very sensitive and has no clue what he’s doing. So he’s been taking all these classes for things he wants to learn to do. We rotate partners through out the class so you get used to dancing with a bunch of different people and it was fun seeing how confident Richard was getting with each pass through the rotation. There’s also several other guys in this class, who are younger then I am by a few years. But two of them have the bluest eyes, one of my weaknesses, I feel all letchery and everything. *wink* All the other men are much older and are taking this class with their wives, it’s really cute.
It’s kind of a bummer to realize that as a 30 year old (almost) with two kids, most men are going to consider me used goods. I have no doubt that Karel will have an easier time finding girlfriends, especially with the help of his friends. Being in your thirties is a good thing for men, it’s a little harder for women. While I’m not looking for men to date yet, it’s just a let down when you realize that you are going back out on the dating scene with some disadvantages and your not really wanting to be on the dating scene anyway. I didn’t date much in high school and I don’t really think all that much has changed. Men still want their little prissy cheerleader types. I listen to guys talking at my events, it’s really depressing if you give it too much thought.
