Swing Dancing

This weekend a friend of mine on the base, Mark, and some guys from Big Fork hosted a swing dance workshop at the base. They flew a couple of people from Seattle out to teach some lindy hop lessons and then we danced a bit for the last couple of hours. It was so much fun! I've never done lindy before, so that was definitely a learning experience. I felt bad for some of the guys who danced with me a bit because I was thoroughly confused and very tired, but we made it through. :D Had a good time dancing with some of the guys on base as well as meeting/dancing with some others I didn't know. It makes me excited to come back home and make it a weekly thing either at the VFW or AFA. I learned the Shim Sham line dance...actually quite difficult, especially comparing it to other line dances like the Electric Slide, etc. Anyway, all-in-all it was a lot of fun. I was proud of every one and the effort they put forth to learn new things - including myself! :)

Sunday

Well, I have tried to write a couple of different things lately, but haven't had much time to do so. Let's see, what did I do today?

  • Got lost in Kalispell a couple of time just wandering around going wherever happened to suit my fancy at that given time...thrift store, random side roads...Wait, how do I get back? Turn around...start again...Somers...back home again... :)
  • Went to Wal-Mart for deodorant and found a couple of good movies - Memoirs of a Geisha and The Trouble with Angels
  • Went to Starbucks and McDonalds...because the two go hand-in-hand...?
  • Ate a very awkward dinner with what was supposed to be an "all guys" table...sorry, Eirik. :/
  • Will eventually watch The Trouble with Angels later today
  • Will watch Hooker's basketball game (Hooker is his last name for those of you who are confused right now)
  • Then I'll be going to bed fairly early tonight...hopefully (*Fingers crossed*)
My weekend = Sweet. :)
