A series of Nights

In lieu of friends and family responding texts this evening and my husband being sick in bed and asleep since 7 pm, I am reviewing my list.  It frustrates me, the list itself, not the journey of completing the tasks.  Having things hanging over my head is hard.  It makes me think twice about starting something I can't finish.  I think I will ignore that nagging feelings though.

On Saturday we celebrated Leann's birthday with dinner at Cheddar's and then moving on to Big Texas. Matt seemed grumpy the entire evening but was persistent and finally was successful in getting me on the dance floor.  Leann went out with him and she couldn't get him to be successful.  Since Matt and I had previously danced in the house to iTunes, I knew the trick.  Under the railing I went to drag Matt along on the dance floor with me.  I'm glad I did...

It was the beginning of mine and Matt's two-stepping night at Big Texas.  I do not have faith that my sweet husband could two-step with someone else, but that's fine with me since it leaves only me for him to dance with.

I feel good marking this off my list...WE TWO-STEPPED, IN PUBLIC!!  No more being jealous of the people on the dance floor while I look on longingly.  Now if only my readers could have been there as Leann tried to get a picture of us two-stepping...it's one of the reasons we kept getting back on the dance floor.  You can see the anticipation in the photo - my face and my thumbs up in the air like "what the heck, woman?"

 Now we will see what happens the next time we find ourselves in a two-stepping situation.  At least we I know how now.

Any number of things

I feel very chaotic with so many things in limbo right now...

5. Print out and frame wedding photos
20. Learn to two-step
25. Pay off all MY credit cards
63. Change my blog design once a month (1/33)
70. Buy a grill and learn how to use it!
73. Unpack all the boxes
76. Return the cart at the grocery store each time (6/6)
82. Have a girl's night at least once a month (1/33)
83. Try a new restaurant once a month (1/1/33)
(July-T Jin's China Cafe)


Four of the nine things in limbo are things that will continue the length of the blog.  I am going to have to figure out a spot on the blog in order to organize them all or something...it will drive me nuts!!

Wondering What Counts

Tonight Matt and I are going out with my very first college roommate, Heather, and her husband, David.  We happen to live in the same neighborhood so we have gotten together a couple of times.  Tonight we are going to the race track and then to Big Texas for some dancing.  A couple weeks ago we went to Big Texas for Caitlin's birthday party.  This was after I had started this project.

Once we finalized these plans with Heather and David, I decided Matt and I would learn to two step, #20, via YouTube.  This morning, I woke up about an hour before Matt so I started YouTubing it up.  Looked easy enough...but then I added in my husband.  This is now me...

Oh...boy.
He's cute...
I love him...

BUT OH BOY!!




So now I'm wondering whether or not I can count #20 if my intention was for me to learn how to two-step and then accomplish that publicly with my husband.  I can two step after watching youtube seeing as how I had a bit of before knowledge and just needed to turn it around, since I learned to lead.  Maybe I should change it to

20.  Teach husband how to two step
