My belly danced

Posted on | December 12, 2006 | 5 Comments

There are muscles in your abdomen that you probably never use. Instead of the stomach being the core center of my strength, I’ve used my back as the support for my sagging body. No more. Anne, Rebecca and I went to a belly dancing class. There was hesitation when I agreed to accompany them. When I swirled through my early twenties, I had rhythm. I could dance to any music except country. A disconnect happened somewhere, removing my almost primal motions for the slow, measured steps through the grown up world. I miss dancing with abandon. Beats moved my feet, and when I closed my eyes, I danced for myself and no one else. The outer world didn’t exist. It was me, that’s all. Last night I was reintroduced to my body and now I won’t forget. Although the class highlighted specific movement, and proved challenging, I began to remember how lovely it feels to move. The girls and I agreed to go to class every monday (and Anne, those people waiting were for the advanced tribal class).  If you are interested, here is the calender. It’s very close to my house. Instead of driving, I’m going to walk. Yes, it’s that close.

In other news, Puck and I can’t be running partners anymore. :( We have to figure out a nice way to seperate the dogs so that I run with Pip and D can walk Puck. The old man just can’t keep up anymore. He got a spur in his paw this morning and I felt bad. It’s time to haul ass and I just can’t do that with Wags. But, it’s going to be a pain in the ass to get them seperated enough so that I can run with Pip and David walks Puck. We did it once, and Pip hunted Puck down, yanking my shoulder out of its socket because he knew Puck and D were right around the corner. I love our dogs.

I got one of my grades back. I got an A- in Ital Ren. I deserve it, honestly. I fucked around on the final and didn’t do as much studying as I should have. It was embarassing, but I focused on my Editing Essential and let everything else fall to the wayside. Oh well.

So, it’s Tuesday. Yay and stuff. We need to fast forward through the week so that I can get to Flyday.

And this is kind of an incoherent post because I’m just tired and not awake enough to edit.

    Thank you Claire :)

    Anne – I danced around the house when I got home. I think D is tired of hearing about it, but I am soooooo looking forward to Monday.
