They are HERE!!!

Yup, I got my salsa shoes!!  I was told them to order 1 size smaller.  I guess it helps with dancing...just listening to the experts!!

Hm...a little behind this summer...

At the end of the school year, I always end up taking home a load of papers that I SWEAR I am going to sort throughout the summer and have it ready for when school starts.  Well, here is the crate sitting in its original spot, untouched since the end of May.

Here is my attempt last night while watching "Losing it With Jillian."

 I'm getting somewhere, right??? :-)

Graduation Party

Since my last post, a lot has happened since then!  My cousin left to Seattle to start her career as an optometrist.  Not to toot my own horn, but I was pretty creative with the decorations at her graduation dinner in town.  

Besides putting my scrapbooking skills to work on the poster board, I found this neat website that makes personalized eye charts to show a message.

Thanks to my friend Charlene and her creative holiday projects, I took her tag idea from Christmas and made photo tags with my cousin's graduation picture on them and tied them to all the silverware at the restaurant!  On the back of the tags are a bunch of optometry jokes.  I also printed off funny optometry comics and spread them around the table.

Here are just some of the jokes (watch out, they are very corn-ea, hahaha, corny and cornea?):

Q: What do you call a fish with no eyes?

A: A fsh !

  

Q: What music do optometrists listen to?
A: itunes

Q: What was the lens's excuse to the policeman?
A: I've been framed officer

Q: How do you take over the globe?
A: With a contact lens

Q: What did the sailor say to the captain of the optometrist’s boat?
A: Eye-eye captain

Q: Where is the eye located?

A: Between the H and the J.

Q: What did the right eye say to the left eye? 
A: Between you and me, there's something that smells...

So You Think You Can Dance????????

Chris and I have completed 1 month of salsa lessons!  We're almost experts, LOL!  Well, okay, so we're not quite there but maybe after next month's lessons!  I really want salsa/ballroom shoes!  I have been wearing my black jazz shoes in class, and, well....I'M SHORT and those shoes don't help either - no heel.  There is only 1 guy in the class whose height is about mine.

Speaking of dance, we've been following So You Think You Can Dance - one of my favorite reality TV shows! I've given up on American Idol and all those other talent competition shows.  This past week was amazing!  If you haven't seen Twitch and Alex's hip hop routine by NappyTabs, YOU MUST!

Although I adore Kent's innocent personality, Alex is an all-star dancer!  A ballerina doing hip hop PERFECTLY?!?!?  Yes!  My favorite for the girls is Ashley.  Her performance was so beautiful and her facial expression work so well with the dance!
