Back To Back

Its been a good morning, Ive done whats needed been on various errands and finally got to that time of today where i can go run a bath and chill out for a while.. I still ache just about everywhere but determined to keep going this week, my fellas away in Scotland next week for the early part so i may as well get all this good dancing in before he goes, ill stay at home and paint the house onces hes gone as i'll be bored then..lol

Last night was another toughie, i said i was having one of those weeks and last night just confirmed it, yes it was another class full of spins, is someone having a laugh or what, I'm so glad its Cuban tonight, Ive been permanently dizzy since Tuesday doing all this lot..hehe

One of the chaps was there last night who was unfortunate enough to have me as his partner on Tuesday and boy did he giggle when the instructor said we are doing spins tonight ! he had seen first hand how bad i was then so two nights back to back, the guy deserves a medal.. he was so funny though and made the night as by the end of the lesson id managed to blag my way round the poor chaps either hitting or standing on all of them in turn, even the instructor was calling me trouble ~ I left my mark then :)

When we got back in last night i always go to give the kids a kiss, its my little ritual, so imagine walking into this without giggling ~

You guessed it, its Brandon ! hehe they decided to empty my airing cupboard out and make alternative sleeping arrangements, which had me in stitches, my kids are so much like me at times, i remember doing exactly the same thing as a child and tying a piece of string to my mates toe that ran along the length of our gardens, so she would wake up when i pulled it early, the thing i remember most was my mum and her mum flying up the stairs shouting at me, as her toe had gone black overnight ! :) so that's not recommended as a cheaper version to an alarm clock !

10 out of 10 for creativity though, he slept in his hammock all night and it held up !! I laid there waiting for the thump to come all night, giggling.....

Right im leaving the kids in Sandra's capable hands and going to see how much bubble bath it takes to reach the rim..

I can't wait for salsa tonight ! i didn't think i could do 4 nights back to back of all this energetic stuff but today im looking so forward to it and am on a high .........Good job really

As tomorrow i'll probably be in a heap ! hehe

Spinning Around

Oh my word do i hurt this morning, we must be gluten's for punishment...

We met up with our friends Cheryle and Fran last night at Caistor hall to catch up on whats been happening, it was lovely to see all the guys again, there were so many there we knew and used to dance with. But talk about fish out of water, i had to giggle, I couldn't have picked a harder night to go along! I think I'm having one of those testing weeks..hehe

It was Larissa's cross body class and my word was i dizzy by the time i got back into that car...

We don't use spins in Cuban style salsa but occasionally my fella will throw one in as he likes them, but walking into that class last night i was really pushed! Larissa decided it was the night we were all going to learn triple spins !! it was so hard ! started the dance with a triple spin kicking off straight back into a double back ~ 5 spins in a row isn't nice ! i managed it for about 6 guys (you move round every few Min's) but by the time i got to Ken i was feeling pretty queazy so went and got myself a drink (just so i could grab a breather)..lol

I did giggle to Cheryl on the phone and said id be fine as long as it wasn't a routine full of spins! My old cross body instructor was even there ! we did both classes and learnt cha cha cha which i loved but I'm definitely Cubanized, Larissa said id did really well and helped me with my arm work (apparently I'm working twice as hard as i need to be) with the spins but by the end of the night i was getting it...

Tonight we are going to Indulge as i need to pick up our salsa boat tickets from Nad.

Ive already been warned this is the class where all the good ones go ! hehe What the hell, we wanted to push ourselves and get moving again after 3 weeks out, so will go along and enjoy the night, by the time we get to Richard and Sharon's cuban class tomorrow we should be rearing to go....

I do enjoy cross body style as i like the spins but it seems really strange going backwards and forwards only, i kept wanting to walk round the guys last night and stick my hand on every ones shoulders....hehe

Will let you all know how tonight goes, its got a real big following as its like a club scene so will be interesting to see, i may just take that camera along for the ride.....
