Food and Dancing (Not the baby-making kind)

Today we had a potluck at work for all the September birthdays. There were four this week and one more in a couple of weeks. I made taco soup because it's really easy: just cook some meat and dump everything in a crockpot. It was a big hit and it was just about gone by the time I got to eat. I decided points (Weight Watcher's) don't count on your birthday (or on the day before your birthday :-) ).
Tonight Tim and I are going to the first session of our dance workshop this weekend. It's West Coast Swing Styling for all levels, which should be interesting...not sure what that entails but it should be fun. Tomorrow morning we have a West Coast Swing class for novices and then a novice Country Western 2-step class. After lunch there are intermediate swing and 2-stepping classes, and maybe I can convince Tim to sign up for those. We'll see how the beginning classes go before we decide if we're really ready for intermediate. Tomorrow evening is a dance to practice all the moves we learned. This will be Tim's first dance class experience so it should be lots of fun. I discovered swing dancing a few years ago when I went with a group from church and liked it a lot. It's pretty simple and just a lot of fun to twirl and none of that bumping and grinding stuff that makes babies (Church of Christ folks will know what I'm talking about :-p).

It's been a pretty interesting week. One particular student who didn't like me last week for enforcing the rules with her has liked me this week....another kid had a perfect day on Tuesday, but has had a few melt downs since then. Every day is just unpredictable and you never know what's going to happen. And now it's time to get back to work!!
