The Weekend Is Here! My favorite time! Dance, dance dance – some benefits of the kids being away at college. Although my younger daughter Katie graduates this May (you’re all invited for her party on Memorial Day!!), so all that extra time available may change a bit…but I’ll deal with that when it happens. Worrying about it now…
DetailsI’m seeing more and more line dancers dip their toes in to test the waters of couples dancing. It’s so exciting! None of them has had a foot bitten off, so things are going well. Kudos go out to the veteran dancers who encourage new dancers, especially the men of Cadillac Ranch, who are especially gracious with…
DetailsThere’s nothing like getting a new perm – which admittedly smells better than perms smelled years ago – and hearing from the men you dance with that you smell like Fritos. FRITOS! Oh well; my hair is curly again at least – and I danced with a some really handsome fellas – so they can…
DetailsHappy Rainy Tuesday! Don’t you just love this Chicago weather? When I was a kid, we’d be up to our knees in snow by now. Last night I fell asleep to a thunderstorm – and it hasn’t really stopped raining since! My kitchen floor is full of muddy pawprints from the dogs; who can keep…
DetailsFacebook is AMAZING…I’m still in awe of how quickly information is shared. And I’m still in awe of how much better everyone is at using it than I am!

DetailsYesterday I noticed the name on the soap I was using to wash my hands – Calming Hand Soap. Really? That’s how to get or stay calm? Use this SOAP? That’ll save me a lot of money on shrinks, I figured…good thing it’s purple soap. I’m sure to use it, and sure to be calmed.…
DetailsChocolate, cookies, and peppermint flavored egg nog..sigh, what a holiday season! Trouble is I now have to lie flat on the bed to zip up my jeans. Guess I’ll be back to Zumba Sue’s class after all! Or pole dancing class…or any kind of dancing class! (You knew that was coming.) Here’s hoping everyone’s celebrations were just as…
DetailsFor some of you, that may be an eye roller – after all, did we really break from work for the last two weeks? – but for me, I am sincere. Even though life didn’t stop over the holidays – FAR from it – I had two weeks off from classes, and I feel rejuvenated! …
DetailsCan you believe it? Only yesterday it was January 1st, 2012, and we had the whole year ahead of us – with 359 days till Christmas – surely a lifetime! Those 50 minute class periods of American History took FOUR lifetimes to pass by, so a year must certainly take forever. But here we are:…
