What is up with me

Our printer is broken so I can't print this out yet but I figured I'd write something anyway. I just went dancing again today and it was a bit boring. The class was fun because I got to see one of my favorite teachers' and I did a good job in learning how to lead the two step and the west coast swing.

I feel like typing but I can't seem to think of anything to put in my book. I am way, way behind in my writing. I went hiking again today and yesterday. This time we went up hill to a more difficult rout but it was still three miles. Yesterday I saw my teacher from Starlite at the walking park. That was cool. We had a chance to chat a bit about it today during class. I am supposed to go to the half way party this Sunday for National Novel Writing Month. I am supposed to go to Kiva on Saturday but I don't know if we will make it.

I bought these two CDs from Roger yesterday and they were supposed to have really cool Zumba music in them but when I got home and listened to them they really sucked. Only one song out of the whole thing was good. I all ready had two of the songs on it. It really bothers me that I paid for something that really sucks. I want my money back but I will probably end up reselling them. Well, I better try and write more of my book now.

F***ed Up Interview

I had an interview on Sunday for a tutoring position and they hired me on the spot so I tutored the kid for an hour then went home. Everything went great and they told me to come back tomorrow. Then the very same day they call me up and fire me! They tell me I no longer need to show up tomorrow. How crappy is that? She said she still wants to pay me for Sunday so she will send it in the mail.

I have been listening to a bunch of west coast swings on my computer lately and it has been nice.

I have been working on my book and I am up to 5,741 words which is not nearly enough for where I should be. I need to get to 25,000 words by Saturday.

Lots of Exercise

I had a class today with my new student. This was our second class. He did his very first Tango and he showed me some Salsa that his friend showed him and it was nice. I am going to have to learn some more tango and some more salsa in order to keep up with teaching. He also wanted to learn the Argentine Tango and I don't know it so I'm going to have to learn it. I went dancing 4 times this week. I went on Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday to Starlite.

I also have been going hiking almost every day this week. It was easier to do today. I have my good days and my bad days when it comes to hiking.

Hubby and I have discovered a new milkshake at Denny's called a Plain White Shake. It has a piece of white chocolate in it and a piece of cheesecake in it. It is really good but we can't have it very often because it is full of all the things we are not supposed to have while trying to lose weight.

I met a new friend on Friday night at Starlite. I met him first through Ok Cupid online. I have a few people I chat with online but I really liked chatting with this friend so I thought it a good idea to meet him. He said he was a good dancer but he doesn't know Ballroom yet. I guess I would have to teach him if he were up to it of course.

New Student

Hi, I got a new student last night at about eight o'clock. He got the ten lesson package with two payments so I got the first payment yesterday and I'll get the second payment after the fifth lesson. He did a good job yesterday. We started out with me teaching him the two-step and then we moved on to the rumba and then I showed him the salsa. He has better rhythm then he gives himself credit for.

I had a lesson with my old student today and he did a great job. We worked on intermediate and advanced bolero and intermediate and advanced salsa. We are going through these dances way too quickly so I will have to continue taking classes at Starlite in order to keep up. He learns fast.

Hubby is now back from helping my sister with moving and he is really sore but doing well. I missed him so much while he was gone. I hung out with one friend on Saturday and another friend on Sunday to keep myself occupied but it was mostly boring. All I did was play games and watch movies. My favorite part of this weekend was when I was chatting with a new friend from Ok Cupid while working on my book. I am up to six thousand words or so now and I have a ways to go. I must refine the majority of those words though because they are not my own. I don't want to plagiarize so I have much work to do in the refinement of my book.

I have another interview today for a nanny position for a ten hour a day shift. I hope I get the job. I'll let you know how it is going later.

I got a new cable for my mp3 player to connect to my boom box so I no longer have to make CDs for my lessons. I am happy about that.

I get to have lunch with a friend tomorrow whom I haven't seen in a long while so I am excited about that. I hope my friend doesn't forget that I am coming over.

Well I have to do some laundry now so I better go. More later.

Halloween

I had so much fun on Halloween! I went dancing at Starlite in my Ren Fair costume and people liked it. Then I went to the First Minute Write In at Denny's for National Novel Writing Month. There was a lot of people at both gatherings and I had fun. I wrote 477 words the first hour of the contest. Today I wrote about up to 6,198 words. Not many of the words are mine, I took a lot from the bible and I am not sure the story is turning out the way I wanted it to but I am getting through it. I'll be going dancing again tonight so I can practice for my student.

Yesterday was a slow day, I watched a movie and took a nap and chatted with a few friends online. Not much to report at the moment. Oh, I do have another potential student I'll be meeting tomorrow, and a phone interview for a nanny position. I also have another interview on Tuesday night for another nanny job.
