I’ve apparently decided to teach myself to dance this week. I was hurrying to get some
cookies out of the oven yesterday afternoon. I must have gotten a thin layer of flour or
something on the floor because my sandal just slid forward when I stepped on the kitchen floor. I didn’t fall, but I invented a new twisting motion in keeping my balance. (I’m
pretty surprised I’m not sore today!). I did the same thing on
Wednesday, except it was because of the rain (wet flip-flops) and it
was in my garage. Again, I didn’t fall, but I did a funny twisty
maneuver to stay standing which I’m sure looked like a modern dance…okay, apparently I am a clutz, and I should start wearing only treaded
shoes. Seriously…I’m sure there are easier (and less painful) ways to learn to dance!
Other than almost breaking my neck, the day was productive. I made lots
of cookies. Then I cleaned all 3 bathrooms, mopped all the
non-carpeted floors in my house, and dusted and vacuumed the
downstairs 
. Eric’s aunt, Patti, was coming, and she had never been to
our house, so I figured there would be at least one tour. I tidied
the rest of the house, but didn’t stress too much about her seeing a
little bit of clutter!
The party went very well. It was actually pretty fun, and those who came seemed to have a good time. (Karen ditched us in the end 
…so everyone decided that she should now host a party to make up for it and to show off her new house! 
) Also, being the hostess, I got free stuff and discounts, so that was also great! Most people left about 9, but I wasn’t done with my order and then we stood around chatting with the designers. They didn’t leave until after 11:00, so it was almost midnight before I was asleep. They are very funny people, but I’m too old to be up that late!
Today the agenda is really about finding a birthday gift for my brother. Don’t know what to get him really, but since there is a chance he’ll read this entry, I won’t include any of my ideas or specific plans. Suffice it to say that I’ll be doing some shopping today.
Yeah! Trisha and I will come together if you have a party at your new house!!
It IS a good excuse to show off your new house!
Shan gave her your number?
Just so everyone knows. The party lady called me not an hour ago.
Maybe you could give me dance lessons when you’re done teaching yourself. Dancing is not really one of my strong suits.
Doubt that’s gonna happen anytime soon. But I’m sure Dawn will ask.
They do seem to have some nice stuff (and it matches my new kitchen colors EXACTLY!). If you want anything just let me know. One of the ladies booked a party for a couple of weeks, so I could order it for you then. If not…that’s okay, too!
I’m glad your party went well! The stuff in the catalog looked really cute!
