(I&#8217;m&nbsp;<br \/>\npretty surprised I&#8217;m not sore today!).&nbsp; I did the same thing on<br \/>\nWednesday, except it was because of the rain (wet flip-flops) and it<br \/>\nwas in my garage.&nbsp; Again, I didn&#8217;t fall, but I did a funny twisty<br \/>\nmaneuver to stay standing which I&#8217;m sure looked like a modern dance&#8230;okay, apparently I am a clutz, and I should start wearing only treaded<br \/>\nshoes.&nbsp; Seriously&#8230;I&#8217;m sure there are easier (and less painful) ways to learn to dance!<\/p>\n<p>Other than almost breaking my neck, the day was productive. I made lots<br \/>\nof cookies. Then I cleaned all 3 bathrooms, mopped all the<br \/>\nnon-carpeted floors in my house, and dusted and vacuumed the<br \/>\ndownstairs <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/Images\/pleased.gif\">. Eric&#8217;s aunt, Patti, was coming, and she had never been to<br \/>\nour house, so I figured there would be at least one tour.&nbsp; I tidied<br \/>\nthe rest of the house, but didn&#8217;t stress too much about her seeing a<br \/>\nlittle bit of clutter!<\/p>\n<p>The party went very well.&nbsp; It was actually pretty fun, and those who came seemed to have a good time. (Karen ditched us in the end <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/Images\/winky.gif\">&#8230;so everyone decided that she should now host a party to make up for it and to show off her new house!&nbsp;<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/Images\/laughing.gif\">)&nbsp; Also, being the hostess, I got free stuff and discounts, so that was also great!&nbsp; Most people left about 9, but I wasn&#8217;t done with my order and then we stood around chatting with the designers.&nbsp; They didn&#8217;t leave until after 11:00, so it was almost midnight before I was asleep. They are very funny people, but I&#8217;m too old to be up that late!<\/p>\n<p>Today the agenda is really about finding a birthday gift for my brother.&nbsp; Don&#8217;t know what to get him really, but since there is a chance he&#8217;ll read this entry, I won&#8217;t include any of my ideas or specific plans.&nbsp; Suffice it to say that I&#8217;ll be doing some shopping today.&nbsp; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;ve apparently decided to teach myself to dance this week.&nbsp; I was hurrying to get some cookies out of the oven yesterday afternoon.&nbsp; I must have gotten a thin layer of flour or something on the floor because my sandal &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/elhogue.com\/shannah\/2006\/07\/14\/learning-to-dance\/\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1042","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/elhogue.com\/shannah\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1042","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/elhogue.com\/shannah\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/elhogue.com\/shannah\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/elhogue.com\/shannah\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/elhogue.com\/shannah\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1042"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/elhogue.com\/shannah\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1042\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3009,"href":"https:\/\/elhogue.com\/shannah\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1042\/revisions\/3009"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/elhogue.com\/shannah\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1042"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/elhogue.com\/shannah\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1042"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/elhogue.com\/shannah\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1042"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
