last night....

i had my first belly dancing lesson.
i was late because i had to go to the bank first and then there was an accident. i was a bit surprised at how some things seemed totally unnatural for my body to be doing (like anything invovling a shimmy)and some things i did like i'd always done them (like the variations on jazz walking). people in the class were really nice and a couple of total strangers were kind to me.
i think this is going to be very fun.
and there is a henna party on the 15th involving several professional artists, performances by the local company and snuggling with a bunch of girls on blankets and pillows and having our bodies painted and snacky sort of stuff.
i can handle that.

also, i MAY have figured out luther's puking problem. i was trying to think what had changed for them....when i moved up here i got the kitties a new drinking bowl. one with a filter that recirculated the water in a fountain.....i have switched back to regular water bowls and so far so good. we shall see.

Hrm. Well, I found mine at a shop in Georgetown, but that doesn't help you much. ;-) Check Asian/Indian import stores? Definitely get one, though, they're REALLY helpful - makes it easier to know when you're doing things right, cuz they jingle quite nicely. :-)

Yeah, I'd love to try again with lessons, preferably from an instructer who wasn't so horrible! :-) Alas...
