Tonight was my first Belly Dancing Class, in a couple years anyway. Way fun! And I am way tired! Here’s a picture of me tonight, I was surprised the teacher had us all using such big snakes the first evening…That’s me on the right with the Snake, whose name is Harry….

Or not. It might be my Teacher, Rebbecca. But that’s what I felt like. You can’t help feeling really good doing Belly Dancing, graceful, sultry, happy. Hurting. I am pretty sure that I have muscles I have not used in a very long time but I feel like I have a lot more space inside, if that makes any sense.

And I am sort of slinking around the house with my new moves. The Bengals slink too. Kind of a slinking party tonight, all of us slinking together, from room to room.

Here is a picture of what I actually did look like. ( KITTY!!!!! I took this photo myself OF myself using Photobooth!!!!!!!!!!!! ) That’s the necklace Kitty and Malena made me for my birthday.

I thought it looked nice with my “Evil Keeps Me Young” tank top, and green harem pants.

Hmmm…That didn’t quite pan out the way I had hoped. Tho I do like the shooting rays of light.

Here’s another bad photo, with many shooting rays of light, just for Kitty.

I think it is me. Cameras simply fail to capture only my image. (Cue Spooky Music)

A message just popped up on my TV screen, saying the unit was overheated and I needed to move it to a cooler place. Where? The fridge??? I looked at the thermostat and saw it ws 87 here in the house. Hmm…..Might need to turn on the air.

I worked with a theater group years ago, taking improve classes and one of the things they taught us was how to work in any condition, hot, cold, you sort of slip into it and become it, so I don’t notice things like “Darn, it’s really bloody hot in here.” Would that my cable box felt the same. I turned it off for a bit, and fanned it with my coin belt, but am not sure it appreciated the effort.

The DVD player seems to be made of sterner stuff, so I will spend the evening improving my French by watching Underworld in French again. (which I am certain will cause some Arrogant comments in French , from a certain Arrogant Frenchwomen)

Love and Belly and Heat,
Lorraine
