Before wedding planning chaos hit our house, the stage was set up and the dining room table was moved to be infront of my book shelf. (Gasp! I know...) I was unable to comfortably get to my books and even though I'm small, it was a tight sqeeze to ponder what to read next and put read books in their place.
Frenchie has been asking if I'm putting the pole back up. I made a deal with him. We have to move more furniture around so I can get to my books.
What resulted:
- Loveseat moved from front room to living room (legs removed and put back on to fit it through doorway)
- Armchair moved living room to front room (legs removed and put back on to fit it through doorway)
- Table moved so there is space around it
- Pole set up
- AND the roomba went to town on the carpet where all the furniture was.
In other news related to fitness... I have awful flexibility. There's nothing like having a new student come to class to make you feel bad about yourself and your abilities. I am not an amazing dancer. Far from it. I don't put enough effort in to get better. I don't stretch enough to improve.
We had a new student come to class who is great and flexy and I feel awful and self-concious about myself. I am the least competitive person I know and when someone makes me feel self-concious, I tend to give up. I don't have that drive to "be the best".
Ah, but just remember, others feel the the same way about you. I think you're graceful and an amazing dancer and I'm totally self-conscious about dancing next to you. I feel like the generic no name mac'n cheese next to your Kraft dinner...same basic ingredients but there is no comparison when it comes to taste! :)
ReplyDeleteI'm with you on having new students come to class. Makes me feel that I'm miles behind when I see what they can do. You just need to develop tunnel vision and focus on what you're doing. After all, we ARE in a class where everyone is at different levels of learning and has different goals!
Very True Lynnette, that is the point of the advanced class. "Work at your own pace"
ReplyDeleteIt's true - I used to feel that way about you too - I remember seeing your dance to 'Crazy Mary' on youtube and it was one of the video's that inspired me to take classes. Now that I know you better, I'm much less intimidated. Maybe once we get to know the new student a little better, her flexi-ness will be less intimidating. Besides, there're probably things that are easy for you that she had to work hard to get, and vice versa.
