What a week

What a week! lol its been brilliant..

Thursday was Sharons and Richards first cuban dance class, we met up with cheryl and had such a great time, so many people turned up they could hardly fit them all in, it couldnt happen to nicer people - im so glad everyone gave them the support they deserved..
We have learnt out first cuban steps went home dancing and all had a brilliant night, thank you guys xxx

Friday we were due to go out to a dinner dance, i was getting pretty tired i must admit but the act was great, he was really strutting his stuff getting the croud up and dancing the night away, the food was excellent, my fella tried out his dancing again and we ended up meeting some old friends we havent seen for ages, so all round its been great..

Last night was the last in a row, so much is happening at the moment im running out of nights to fit it all in..lol we met up with our friends for a quiet one !!! hehe OMG what a night it was...
We went from having a quiet night having a meal to dancing the night away ! so dressing in knitwear wasnt the best idea ..oops i didnt let it spoil the night thankfully, without alcohol they managed to get me to totally embarass myself , it was brilliant, their company is brilliant, hes a total live wire which makes anything we do just such a giggle..
You know youve had a good night when you wake up with an aching face ! i couldnt stop giggling....

All we need now is to get these 2 guys into salsa class, now that really would be one, not to be missed..lol

Thank you so much you guys, what a week eh..... great music, great week, such great company....
Im knackered but really smiling inside......... its been a really good one ...

Boogie Nights

What a week its been, Ive wanted to write for the last few days, but haven't got round to being able to, its been work non stop all day, with all sorts happening every night, so the week seems to have flown by ....

We met up with Mark and Anna Friday for our night out..lol my god it was a giggle.. i did have a few drinks (that makes a change, i hear you say lol) and i danced til my feet ached, the night was totally brilliant and so much fun, an excuse to party and let your hair down is always good for the spirit.... especially if it keeps you feeling good inside lol .. don't quote me on that the next morning though please... god did i have a hangover..oops (that's the guys fault as i haven't touched alcohol in months and they were feeding me red wine and double vodkas.. tut tut.....hickup.........

We ended up at a Boogie night where everyone was as mad as us, it was about time my slashed top came out again... the last time i wore it i went pole dancing in Tenerife so its given me many happy memories and the reason to keep wearing it...lol I like feeling sexy and that only stays with you if you keep that sparkle alive in your eyes... (mine were definately glazed) lol

We're already looking forward to our next nights out with our new friends, so if they are anywhere as good as Friday was, then ill book the sitter to stay over...lol .. we didnt get home until very early (or late should i say!) and she had fell asleep sitting up my breakfast bar.. oops i tried not to laugh and it did cost me quite a bit extra (as i did mention i wouldn't be late )..oops its a good job she loves me... she knows i get emotional when ive had a few and laughs when i throw my arms round her telling her how much i love her, anyone who would put up with me worse for wear at that hour has got to love me....

So its a big thank you to our friends and a brilliant boogie night... they made me laugh so much all night my face hurt ... not to mention my feet.....lol

Saturday (after i got rid of my hangover) we had to start again, we had arranged to meet Cheryl and some friends for salsa so after a few " I cant do two nights on the trot" my fella persuaded me to get ready so we could hit the city and our salsa club... all our friends were there so we knew it would be another good night, i was so tired but as soon as i heard the music it kicked up my spirits again and up we got, bopping about again..lol

Cheryl will get up and dance with the professionals, shes so confident, i hide up !! lol I know its chicken but these guys really are something else.... So when one of the regulars comes and asks me to dance i wanted to shrink and curl up into a big hole, he is so very good... i tried not to look petrified and just had a go, i cut a couple of the turns short i think, but he was lovely and just laughed, its like stepping back in time there, the guys all ask you to dance in turn and its not polite to decline, its not like a night club where men all see you as a piece of meat... and the only reason they would ask you to dance was to hang all over you and hope their luck was in...lol

These guys at our club are real gentlemen, i danced with a guy who was in his fifties who literally swept me off my feet, Ive never danced with anyone so good and pray a few of the guys there now will also ask me, they watch to see what moves we can do and then work their leads accordingly, one by one they will gently add in another move until we then know a bit more, the better we get, the better dances the leads have, so everyone helps out and helps everyone else.............. wouldn't it be nice if the world was a bit more like that............lol

Wednesday

It was a bit of a struggle to wake up this morning, yesterday was a full day of doing photos trying to look warm, they went well but i ended up overshooting the time and was late home for the kids, as i pulled up they were all standing there waiting..oops

I have to edit the photos to load in now and carry on getting the rest captured so the next few days i will be back to working stupid hours and chain myself to my computers..lol

last night was salsa... it was a real tester.. we ended up having to move to the mirage suite as our usual room had lighting problems, that part was OK it was just trying to do the turns all night on carpet, we were all giving each other electric shocks..lol the lesson was great though and we learnt another few moves to add to the collection... its getting really good now, those first few weeks were just the basic steps now we are adding so many twists turns and cuddles in, I'm so glad we started the class, every ones lovely and we've made friends with some really nice people.. theres so many salsa clubs out there and weekenders, so hopefully if we keep trying we will get good enough to go along... Sharon who teaches at the forum was at the weekend one in Blackpool and won the competition she was in (she is brilliant) we are going along to Keir hardy this week on Friday as a few of us from the class are meeting up so hopefully we will feel that we can at least dance together and get some extra practise in......lol

Ive made another riding lesson video in so you can all have another giggle..lol I'm on another horse now who's really putting me through my pace, she wont go into canter easily so she is going to hopefully help strengthen my legs and my kick, as I'm still struggling with kick whilst in trot to get into a canter, Shadow does this easily for me but its not what i want, if i learn to ride then I'm going to learn properly how to ride anything, so no pain no gain, with a very sore bum and legs I'm being allocated Dolly... Shes much bigger than shadow at just over 16 hands and has a much wider girth, but i love riding her, although I'm usually scared of heights its different on a horse and i prefer the big horses best rather than the ponies, i was thrown straight on a big one and worry I'm hurting the smaller ones with learning to ride as we make so many mistakes....
Estelle bless is coming with me every week now and helps me so much, although I'm jumping at one school I'm not at the other, both schools are teaching me different things, its adrenaline on Saturdays with multi jumping but i still lack so much of the need to know stuff so the Wednesday school is all technique posture, rising correctly to help the horse balance and control work, so between them hopefully ill learn to do this right..The videos will all be posted so hopefully after watching me making an arse of myself you lot should all have a giggle... it was all leg work today so tomorrow I'll be walking like John Wayne again......lol

Anyway i have guests up tonight so need to grab a long hot bath .... have a great week everyone....
