So...What are you up to today?

[peachexploration]

Nothing much going today. I have to go shopping and I'm dreading it big time. Traffic, screaming children, etc. Hey, you know what, I think I'll just go hang out at the coffee shop to pep up my spirits before I fight the crowds.. Later SF! Will check in later. Hope everyone is doing something fun today. :D

[la celia]

All the day at home! :?

[peachexploration]

Hi la Celia. Going dancing later, right? ;)

Came home early. Have a bad tummy ache! :( :cry:

[Miami Rueda dancer]

aw..... what happened peach? :( I'm in a good mood :) I"m going to ask the girl who has been in my head for almost in a week to dance in 2 days! she won't get out!!!!!!!! ARG!

Song that plays when I think of her: Como Olvidarte :lol:

[peachexploration]

Good for you MRD. :) My tummy ache is a combination stress and very bad restaurant food. Not a good match. I think I'll stay away from restaurants for a while, even if it is a salad. :(

[Miami Rueda dancer]

I sure hope you feel better! :D

[peachexploration]

Thanks MRD. I feel better already. :D Tomorrow, I finish my shopping. More Salsa CDs. :rocker: :lol:

[SDsalsaguy]

Feel better Peach!

As for my day, I surfed around the Plexus Forums (http://www.forumplexus.com) this morning, practiced some ballroom tango for the first time in four years ( :!: ) with a new practice partner this afternoon, just got back from having a quick broown rice & vegetabel bowl, and am getting ready to go out salsa dancing! :P

[peachexploration]

Thanks, SD. I think I'm gonna hit the sack though. Tummy ache is back. :( I feel awful. :cry: Have fun dancing, SD. :)

[la celia]

Good morning (to you obviously :lol: )!!!
Yesterday evening...ehm...I didn't go to dance! :?
Maybe this week I'll come!I hope! :roll:

[jimedoc]

[Miami Rueda dancer]

[la celia]

Hi la Celia, good morning! I dind't go to dance yesterday neither... Maybe today i'll do something funny :)

Hi jimedoc!!!!Welcome here! :D

[peachexploration]

Hi everyone. :D Just getting up. Still not feeling so good but hey, I'm at Salsa Forums! :banana: MRD, how lucky are you! They usually broadcast Calle Ocho on TV. Hopefully, I'll get to watch some of the festivities. Would have been nice to actually be there. :)

[Miami Rueda dancer]

I got unlucky this year :/ they are showing it at 6pm on TV tonight my cousin slept over her friends house cause she lives across the street. They closed them all down so there's no way of gettin in for me :(

[peachexploration]

Oh no! Right across the street! How lucky is that! Sorry, you can't get in. Maybe a miracle will happen. :)

[Miami Rueda dancer]

I should have went over her friends house.... but I rarely see that cousin anywho. It would have been fun but really packed and sometimes pretty unfriendly :argue:

[jimedoc]

I really need to go to calle ocho some day.... We almost don't have salsa shows in chile :cry:

[la celia]

PE PE PEPPE PE PEEEE...PE PE PE PEPPE PEEEE...

The party must go on! :lol:

(I'm crazy... :D Don't worry!!!!ah ah ah)

[peachexploration]

Oh my goodness! Has anyone seen the movie "The Day After Tomorrow"? Talk about on the edge of my seat! :shock:

[Miami Rueda dancer]

I saw Hitch today... one of the best movies I've ever seen :D

[peachexploration]

That one is on my list to see as well. :)

[peachexploration]

I really need to go to calle ocho some day.... We almost don't have salsa shows in chile :cry:Really? :shock: I don't know, I thought maybe you'd have quite a few in Chile. :? What are the traditional or most popular dances in Chile?

Oh my goodness! Has anyone seen the movie "The Day After Tomorrow"? Talk about on the edge of my seat! :shock:I just had to fast forward about 20 minutes of this movie. Made me jumpy. :shock: :lol:

[peachexploration]

Boy, am I tired. Today was absolutely crazy at work. And to top it off, I got a letter today that my interview was great but they chose someone else for the position. The kicker is, I never interviewed for a position. :shock: :? :shock: Yeah, it was a typical Monday. :lol:

[SDsalsaguy]

...I got a letter today that my interview was great but they chose someone else for the position. The kicker is, I never interviewed for a position.
:shock: :shock: :shock:

:? :? :?

:lol: :lol: :lol:

[peachexploration]

Yeah, SD for some reason, there is definitely some sort of wierd cosmos going on today. :lol: :lol:

[la celia]

Hellooooo!!! Well... I think that I'll go to have my hair done!!!
Here is a sunny day!Great!!! SPRING SPRING SPRIN!!! :D :D :D

[peachexploration]

Today was great! Got some work done. I had Birthday cake for breakfast and lunch. And a nice dinner! Totally awesome! Now, back to my restricted diet. :? :lol:

[peachexploration]

Vegetable shopping today! Yummy. :) Will probably wash car today. Get some dance shoes. Get my hair done. Call a couple of friends, maybe dinner later and hang out at SF in between. Yeah, that sounds like a good day. :D

[peachexploration]

I did nothing I said I would today. :P I took a serenity drive instead. I visited Titusville, Florida. Home of the NASA. Watched the pelicans on the beach and Merritt Island. Had lunch there. Drove through various towns like Christmas, Bithlo and Kissimmee and now I'm back at home and happy. I love Saturdays. Hope everyone else had a good day. :D

[Miami Rueda dancer]

oh man! Peach you have got to come down to Miami! :)

[SDsalsaguy]

Today? Hmmm, let's see...

1) Finishing providing information, and photo captions, for an article I have coming out soon in AN (Anthropolog News, the monthly newsletter of the American Anthropological Association).

2) Trying to find some discussants to complete my panel submission on "Globalization, Embodiment, and Identity" for the 2005 AAA anuual meetings.

3) Making some progress on my article submission that's due this Friday for Human Mosaic (a soical science journal out of Tulane).

That's about it...

[peachexploration]

[SDsalsaguy]

[Miami Rueda dancer]

-going shopping for an outfit for salsa tonight
-wasting time at school, going on salsaforums instead of reading
-going clubbing tonight

[SDsalsaguy]

-wasting time at school, going on salsaforums instead of reading
As I've been known to say from time to time... "I go to graduate school so that I have something to do until the salsa clubs open up at night!" ;)

[peachexploration]

I'm leaving early to day to do more Salsa Party Planning. Yay! See you later, SF. :D

Hmmm, personally I'd rather have her just make a fresh one for me... mold being what it is and everything! ;)

[peachexploration]

Two fresh Cyber Blueberry-Peach Pies with Ice Cream on the way to SD and Jimedoc! Enjoy! ;) :D

[peachexploration]

Pie Day rocked! :rocker: But, I must say that I'm not going to want to even see, smell or stand near a pie for at least the next three months. :lol: :P :lol:

[Ms_Sunlight]

Pie is good. But quiche is better :D

Today I am going to make up for lost time since I've been in an undanceable condition for a few days. Bellydance DVD this afternoon (even though I'm about as co-ordinated as a brussells sprout I am DETERMINED to get those isolations) and salsa class tonight!

[peachexploration]

Actually a spinach quiche, I could probably handle. Yummy! I am exhausted today. I think I'll just be a vegetable today. :? :P

[Ms_Sunlight]

I'd rather eat vegetables than be one! Broccoli quiche is my favourite, by the way :D

So, i'm not the onlyone!!! :)

[peachexploration]

Fighting with the telephone company. My DSL was down since Thursday and was able to dialin at work until Saturday night. Server maintenance at work. :x The nerve of the telephone company though. They even asked me if wanted faster DSL. I'm like, "You can't even get this speed to work!" :roll: Silly rabbits! :nope: Well, I can say that this is the only time I've had a problem with my DSL so, it's not too bad. Well, unless they don't show up this morning. :?

[Miami Rueda dancer]

Bellsouth DSL stops working everyday for me. the service is so great ya know :?

[peachexploration]

Yeah. They did show up this morning. Bad modem. I told them so. :roll: *sigh* Some computer people. :? Think they know everything. :roll: :lol: :lol: ;)

[peachexploration]

See you later fellow Salser@s. Have to go finalize my menu. Have a good night. :D

[peachexploration]

:lol: SD, can you tell I'm a total DSL nut! ;)

Still finalizing everything for next week. I'm changing my menu, again. A good friend of mine is going to do my flower arrangements at no cost. Yup, quite happy about that and grateful! White lilies and/or tulips, my favorite flower! :banana:

[SDsalsaguy]

:lol: SD, can you tell I'm a total DSL nut! ;)
Ummm, is this a trick question? :shock: ;)

[peachexploration]

:P :lol:

[Miami Rueda dancer]

So.... what are you all up to today? ;) i'm gonna go dancing tomorrow so im really happy :) I really wish I was back in Italy though, its so beautiful over there, no curfew, clubbing every week!! great people! good food!

The thing is.. The US is considered free because you have freedom to your own property.. but you don't have freedom to to do your actions... their are the other countries which are the opposite situation, controlled by the government, but the environment is wonderful! I would trade the US and freedom to property in an instant to live in a country like Italy or Uruguay.... one of my homes.. does everyone understand where I'm coming from? :oops: :oops:

[peachexploration]

....The thing is.. The US is considered free because you have freedom to your own property.. but you don't have freedom to to do your actions... their are the other countries which are the opposite situation, controlled by the government, but the environment is wonderful! ........

Freedom do do your actions? Want to explain a little more? :)

[Miami Rueda dancer]

no drinking under 21, no smoking under 18 curfew is at 12 o clock etc, etc and... there's not enough of a friendly environment here...

[peachexploration]

I see. I wonder if that's a good idea for here in the US. I'm just afraid that quite a few people may take it to severe extremes.

[jimedoc]

Hollo guys!
Well, what are you planing to the weekend?
I'll go dancing in about an hour (as every friday afternoon :D ) and maybe go to a salsoteca in the night.
Tomorrow night, i have to dance merengue in a show, so i'll go practicing in the morning. I'll tell you how it was

[Miami Rueda dancer]

woo! that sounds like fun jimedoc! Es que, yo tengo a trabajar... :cry: no puedo ir a bailar todavia, solo tengo quince anos :)

[nicelau]

Hey Peach! it seems that your party was really good! :D
Finally, i couldn't go dancing yesterday. I had to dance in a show, but the event was canceled, so i stayed at home.

[peachexploration]

Hi Jimedoc! Wish you were closer, you could have partied with us! It was great! Are you going dancing today or are studying for school again? :)

[peachexploration]

Today, I'm freaking out over black snakes slivering around the walk way to my apartment. :o :shock: Yuch! *shudder*

[Rosa]

My first post on this thread! :D

I've just had an e-mail from a dear friend who I hadn't been in touch with for a long time. It was a case of 'who's going to make the first move....'

Now we're back in touch! :D :D :D

OK, he's a man, and we will never be anything more than friends... but all the same, my heart is doing somersaults, just because I've heard from him.

Rosa :)

[peachexploration]

Yeah, I have a special friend like that too. :D It really makes your day when you get those kind of calls from special friends. :D

Not up to anything too spectacular today except hanging out at SF when I should be working. ;)

[peachexploration]

Menu planning and re-writing my brochures. Have to take another look at my website. Needs updating badly. :?

Probably will just hang out here mostly. :lol:

[jimedoc]

today i'm studying for next week exams. And in the night, i'm going to a salsoteca to see Santiago all stars!! :banana:

[Wicked Salsero]

[peachexploration]

As long as you're enjoying it, it's not boring. ;) :)

I'm listening to my favorite Salsa radio stations at the moment. My Saturday has been great. I think I may have a dance partner, finally! :banana: Have to keep my fingers crossed. Will know for sure tomorrow. :D Right around 2:00pm today, my apartment complex blew a transformer hence, no power. So, I went shopping. My feet are really aching but it was a good day! :D Now time to do laundry and fix dinner.

[peachexploration]

Hot Diggity!!! :banana: The Peach is Back!!! :banana:

Everything was fantastic! The class, the instructor, the lesson. Just awesome!!!!! I'm so happy I can hardly contain myself. My instructor rocks, bigtime!!! Mambo On2!!! Weeeepaaaaaa!!! :banana:

[peachexploration]

At the moment, eating dinner and watching Bambi. Right now, Bambi is learning how to ice skate. The bunny rabbit (Thumper) is teaching him. Very cute 1942 Disney production. :lol:

[Miami Rueda dancer]

its my little neice's 2nd birhtday and we are preparing for a party! I'm hoping there will be salsa!! :D

[peachexploration]

So, how was the party? :D

[Miami Rueda dancer]

it was fun... there was a clown there, so desperate to dance salsa that I had my face painted with a butterfly and danced salsa with the clown :shock: and then with my mom, my aunt, and all the girls in my family :shock:

[peachexploration]

:lol: :lol: :lol: How cute! Dancing Salsa Clowns. :D

[Miami Rueda dancer]

can't live without my salsa! :)

[peachexploration]

I'm so excited!! I just purchased some dance sneakers with a 2" cuban heel. :banana:

[peachexploration]

Listening to La Nueva Mega. Merengue now playing, yeah baby! :banana:

[hopelessly_addicted]

I'm so excited!! I just purchased some dance sneakers with a 2" cuban heel. :banana:

Hey that's really cool! :) I love cuban heels... I've never seen any dance sneakers with cuban heel though :?: That's really cool cause it won't be as bulky as normal dance sneakers I'd imagine?

I'm forever in search for the perfect dance shoes that I can wear outside.... Haven't quite succeeded yet. 4 failures so far! :(

[peachexploration]

Hi HA. :) Check dancedresser.net They have some really nice ones. :D

[hopelessly_addicted]

Hi HA. :) Check dancedresser.net They have some really nice ones. :D

Hi Peache :) Thanks for the link. I love the look of "Dance Naturals Ladies Sneaker B". Is that what you bought? Looks very comfortable yet stylish :D Seriously.. one of these days, I gotta get a credit card lol.. never bought anything online in my life either.. feel like I'm from the stone age or something.

[peachexploration]

Yes! Those are the ones! :D Yeah, that are quite stylish. I have capezios now that are on their last leg. I really need that heel which gives me an extra lift in my posture without pinching my feet. :lol:

[hopelessly_addicted]

Yes! Those are the ones! :D Yeah, that are quite stylish. I have capezios now that are on their last leg. I really need that heel which gives me an extra lift in my posture without pinching my feet. :lol:

I think 2 inches is what I'd like try next :) I've got a 1.5 cuban heel at the moment. Very comfortable but would like an extra lift as well.. I bet it looks hilarious when I gotta be on my toes when dancing closely with tall leads or they lower themselves.. Last night, this cuban lead lowered himself to my level and he said "wow" lol I got a bit embarrased but what can I say.. I'm born short!

I wonder how sneakers are with ventilation? I guess not as good as open toe heels.. Did you get to try the pair at your local vendor before buying them online?

[peachexploration]

The ones I have now, the capezio high tops have almost no ventalation. But the ones I'm getting have that mesh top and sides of the foot which is great. When I first purchased my capezios, I didnt pay attention to ventalation part and my feet stayed on fire. :twisted: :roll: I remember this time, thank goodness. :lol:

I wonder how sneakers are with ventilation? I guess not as good as open toe heels.. Did you get to try the pair at your local vendor before buying them online?HA, it turns out that they had them in stock at the store and they're only 10 minutes from my home. I ended up getting a whole size larger instead of the 1/2 size recommended because of my high instep. Those shoes run smaller for some reason. Anyways, I love them. They're perfect! :banana:

[lolita]

it was great, actually the miami style looks so PROPER and so unme!!!

i mean i luv they way pplz look on the dance floor doing it , but am not sure if it suits me though

Been revising for my taxations exam the whole afternoon. All these cases that have similar facts YET contrary outcomes are driving me crazy :twisted:

Hope everyone's having a great dancing weekend...

Last 1 hour, I tried to get onto SF, but for some strange reason, whenever I try to enter, the website closed itself.. anyhow, it seems to be working fine now..

[peachexploration]

Good luck on your exams, HA. :)

Feeling a little blue today however, I have On2 class in two hours. :D

[hopelessly_addicted]

Thank you Peache...

just a random question for you. Do you get more excited before going dancing socially or going to classes? (assuming that you get excited at all ;) )

[jimedoc]

I'm studying today... taking an ethics exam tomorrow.
Good luck on your exams hopelessly addicted, and good luck with the On2 Peach!

Thank you Jimedoc. Good luck with your exams tomorrow as well. HA, I get excited with both. Just had a rough and stressful last week. Had to let go quite a few of my friends business wise. Business and friendship do not mix sometimes. So, that's why I'm a little blue. It will pass. Nothing like dancing to chase the blues away. :)

[lolita]

exactly, it just throws blue skies away
good luck with youe exam HA and jime
thank god i finished on thursday . phewwwwwwwww

[hopelessly_addicted]

Nothing like dancing to chase the blues away. :)

Absolutely :)

Sorry to hear about the problem with business/friends... I think there's an old saying that goes something like never mix friendship and money matters... I even avoid sharing house with close friends :p

And thank you Jimedoc. Good luck for you also.. what do you study?

[jimedoc]

medicine, what about you HA?

[hopelessly_addicted]

am studying accounting & law

[peachexploration]

Nothing like dancing to chase the blues away. :)

Absolutely :) Yes! :rocker: Just want the doctor ordered! Class was awesome. We got a lot done. Loved it! :banana:

...Sorry to hear about the problem with business/friends... I think there's an old saying that goes something like never mix friendship and money matters... I even avoid sharing house with close friends :p......?Oh yes, been through the sharing house too. Not a very good idea at all. :lol: It's always sad when you lose friends. :( Just been going through a lot of that these days. It sucks and is VERY nerve wrecking BUT hopefully, in time, wounds will heal. If not, I will certainly have fun in dance classes!!! :lol: :lol: ;) ;)

[pr]

gooooooooooooooood PR have fun
and dont forget to tell us how was it ;)
Thanks! I didn't enjoy it from the beginning, but when I stopped thinking it went much better and I started to enjoy it... (I was thinking too much about getting some turn patterns that I've learnt right.) Also there were a (Brazilian carneval) samba show at midnight that was fun to watch, including a lot of hip action of course... :) :raisebrow:

[peachexploration]

Glad you have a great time, PR. :)

Work for me today and the class tonight. :D

[hopelessly_addicted]

Work for me today and the class tonight. :D

heya Peache! Happy to hear that your class successfully chased the blues away :) It seems like you take quite a few classes a week.. how many? And what kinda classes does your teacher run?

[peachexploration]

Only two classes a week. But they are like 2 hours long so we get a lot of material covered. :D On2 classes.

[pr]

That's a long time... Do you have any break?

[peachexploration]

Yeah, we do like a 10 minute break midway. But guess what we do on our breaks? Yup! Practice, Practice, Practice. then the last 30 seconds, scramble to find water. :lol:

[peachexploration]

Right now, listening to one of my favorite radio stations over the internet. Live Broadcast from Coco Bongos. They're playing bachata... :? :roll:

[lolita]

Class was cancelled today! :(

[Miami Rueda dancer]

aw, that sucks... :(

[peachexploration]

Yeah, I know. My instructor is actually in Miami today for the Miami Mambo Project event. Somehow, that slipped by me. Oh well, Tuesday is only a couple of days away. 8)

[Miami Rueda dancer]

theres a salsa event here? that slipped by me too. :)

[hopelessly_addicted]

I watched Mr/Mrs Smith today. The movie itself wasn't great, but apparently Luis Vasquez was in that movie! His name was the last one to be listed on the credit.. Didn't notice him while the movie was on though.

[peachexploration]

Really? If there's Salsa in the movie, then I may go see it! :lol: Was he an actor/dancer? Remember what his role was? :)

[hopelessly_addicted]

Really? If there's Salsa in the movie, then I may go see it! :lol: Was he an actor/dancer? Rememeber what his role was? :)

No salsa in the movie. A typical hollywood action movie :P

At first, I thought some actor with the same name, but then I saw his name under "dancers", so there, he must have been one of the dancers in the movie.. There was a tango scene and at the start, a scene from Colombia so he could have been in that scene... did not notice him at all.

[hopelessly_addicted]

Been watching "Buena Vista Social Club"... gosh I've been having 2nd thoughts on going to their performance because of the cost but now, i really wanna go! Their music's beautiful! :D

[peachexploration]

Wish I could see them. Hopefully, they will come to Florida soon.

My boss will be here all day from Tallahassee. :roll: I much rather hang out here with my fellow Salser@s. :D

[hopelessly_addicted]

Went shopping today. Because of the end of financial year, everything's on sale at the moment. Bought a pair of Jazz dance shoes at a normal retail shop for $70! Woohoo! Very comfortable 8) Also, some bodytights from metalicus (I think it's an aussie brand) very cheaply. Am a happy woman :D Am gonna test them all out in the near future... I wonder how bodytights would work with the sweat and heat ventilation :?:

[hopelessly_addicted]

Yes! yes! yes! Go see Buena Vista Social Club. Wish I could see them. Hopefully, they will come to Florida soon.

well, they're touring Brisbane first and will go if my friend there gives me a good review on it. This time, only the younger members of BVSC are coming...

[DeeplyDippy]

So...What are you up to today?

Taking my new lady along to a salsa party night :D

[lolita]

a job related meeting at night..its a boring day:S

[DeeplyDippy]

Hmmmm, I've been quite the little devil in the past :twisted: So, she may live to regret it :D

[peachexploration]

Well, I've resigned from my job. What a relief. Long time coming and finally did it yesterday. Today? I begin to focus on my new career life. Life's good! :D

[DeeplyDippy]

[salseralon]

[DeeplyDippy]

but at least i have the clubs to practice.... oh and in front of the bathroom mirror when no ones watching.... :roll:

I'm thinking of trying my healing knee at Ealing this Friday - do you go there ?

[salseralon]

No on Fridays i go to Ronnie Scotts in Central London, simply because the group we go with on fridays comes from all over the place, so its the easiest place for us all to get to.

I was going to head out to Ealing at some point because i heard the salsa scene was gettin bigger there, where do u go? if u dont mind me asking

P.S -btw hows the knee feeling now?

[peachexploration]

Good morning SF! Class today! :banana: I feel much better today (wonder why :lol:). A little blue yesterday. Terrible headache all day yesterday. :( Feeling much better today. :D

[peachexploration]

Enjoying my day off today and hanging at SF! :banana:

[johnnyBG]

huh
Today we have final of the StarAcademy - one of the best teachers in sofia is choreographer of the Academy. His name is Alfredo Torres - from Cuba, a former Tropicana dancer... I'm waiting the start of the show on TV ;-)

[peachexploration]

:headwall: :headwall: :headwall: I was the only to show up for class today. BUT, I have a private class with my instructor on Sunday before regular class. :rocker: :rocker: :rocker:

[peachexploration]

Right now? Laundry and Salsa Video clips. :banana:

[pr]

I will go salsa dancing very soon! :D 8)

[yola]

hey congratz!

saturday i think....hmmm long wait

[peachexploration]

Right now, listening to bachata on one of my favorite radio stations. :? Two songs are enough. :(

I bruised my middle toe an hour ago trying to hang curtains. :cry: Ouch! :x

[peachexploration]

Three hours of Salsa Class today! :rocker:

[salseralon]

I'm having a lazy day today. I cannot believe that it is July 24th and its raining here in London, it should be sunny at this time of year! :headwall:

[peachexploration]

Right now, I'm watching Frontier House on PBS. The show is about people who are trying to live a life on the frontier as they would have over 100 years ago. Very hard life and on top of that, dinner includes rattlesnake one night. EEwwww!!!! :x :x :x Yeah, that's enough to make you eat only your vegetables for about a week. :? :lol:

[peachexploration]

Getting a cold... :cry: Vitamin C to the rescue! :)

[DeeplyDippy]

Right now, listening to bachata on one of my favorite radio stations. :? Two songs are enough. :(

You're not liking the Bachata ?

[peachexploration]

Bachata is OK but I don't like alot of it. :(

[peachexploration]

Preparing for my good friend's Salsa Bash tonight! Can't wait!!!!!!! I'm so excited for him, I can hardly contain myself!!!
:banana: :bouncy: :banana:

[SDsalsaguy]

So, what's everyone doing today? Enquiring minds want to know...

[peachexploration]

Finally, catching a breather today. Working on a friend of mine's website all day. Going to get dinner now. Dead tired and hungry. Be back later. :car:

[SDsalsaguy]

Have a nice dinner Peach, and I'll "see" you later! :D

[peachexploration]

Thanks SD. :)

Took a personal day today to run errands and practice my steps. Didn't get too much practice in. :( Looks like I'll just have to double-up tomorrow. :banana:

[peachexploration]

First day of work!Really really amazing! :D

Hi La Celia. Did you get a new job? How's it going? :)

[peachexploration]

Watching the Discovery landing. Praying for a safe landing.


Edit: Home and Safe!! Yeah!! :banana: :banana: :banana:

[peachexploration]

I'm missing class on purpose today and it's absolutely driving me nuts. :headwall:

[SDsalsaguy]

Why if it's on purpose?

As for myself, I'm trying to find the paperwork for the extended waranty I purchased for my car, found out that a large panel I had put together for the Annual American Anthropological Association Meetings got aproved, and have been contacting all my panelists to let them know accordingly. Also did laundry this morning and have a salsa practice (with my practice partner) at 6pm.

[peachexploration]

Why if it's on purpose?Oh, not doing it on purpose because I want to do it on purpose, if that makes any sense. :lol: I have to make sure I take a day off once in a while to avoid burnout. :( I'm sure I'll thank myself later. :roll: :lol: ;)

[SDsalsaguy]

Oh, OK, gotcha.

Well, I hope it was a day off well spent in that case. :?

[SDsalsaguy]

Anyone around today?

Anyone?

:?

[peachexploration]

Hi SD. :)

Right now, eating dinner. Sliced tomatoes, yellow rice and parmesean chicken. Yummy. :)

[SDsalsaguy]

Hiya Peach! :bouncy:
