Life’s been busy – I’ve found plenty of time for unfun things, like working and paying bills and elevating my still-in-cast ankle.
Now, that’s not to say I’ve found no time at all for pleasantries. I’ve seen too many movies (I think four is a lot), mastered my favorite shoe sale (three pair, all lovely, for $55) and spent some time with my family, including my adorable younger cousins, who, as I will write about later, have some serious concerns about me.
Also, I can’t figure it out, but this woman, the one who generally doesn’t have too many chances to boogie in public, has found at least three occasions to dance around like a moron while also wearing a cast boot. The first being the wedding, the second being a Mardi Gras ball, the third being one night when rain dampened the parades and we were forced – forced, y’all – to take refuge in a bar with a few good beers, some food and a band.
Each time I’ve started out tentatively and eventually ended up twirling and spinning along, which was followed by lots of medicine and foot elevating the next morning. It’s a vicious, vicious cycle.
Not that I’d change it at all.
Sounds like life is going well. And I love the title of this entry…:)
I was dancing too….but *at* Mardi Gras…:) I got here this morning and attended “Barkus”, the official parade of owners and their dogs in costumes through the Quarter. No, I’m not kidding. I have pictures. I’ll post them on my blog later tonight.
When life gives you a cast, make excuses to dance! I love it (and hope that your supply of Ibuprofen allows this life to continue).
I am glad that you are back, I missed your blog!!!
S.S.
Vicious indeed! Welcome back, darlin!
That’s awesome–you gotta take opportunities to dance, even if there’s some patching up to be done in the morning
Rock on! Most people don’t get enough opportunities to dance around like an idiot (myself included), so I’m really glad you’ve been getting out there and enjoying it. Screw the cast – shaking your butt in public is much more important. : )
Glad you’re enjoying yourself, but make sure you look after yourself too.
Man, I just hate when I’m forced into a bar. You poor, poor thing. Heh.
Dating in a cast eh? Sounds like that could prove to be very interesting!
Tag – make a list of seven things that make you weird (in a wonderful kind of way) then tag 7 others to do the same! Have fun!
Hmmm, everyone should know that I’m bad at tags/memes and not answering … I’ve done three and they’re all kind of similar …
