trying my hand at something new... just for fun

ok, I'm was walking down the street and a little ditty popped in my head... guess I'm trying my hand at song lyrics... they are rhyme-ie and juvenile but that's all i got right now!

Look at the stars
look how they shine for you
and everything you do
and they were all yellow

WAIT, that one's taken isn't it... ok how about this...

Look up at the sky
the stars are bright tonight
I can never get enough of such a breathtaking sight

The winter moon is new
and the clouds are unseasonably few

He's pulling me along,
as i ponder this very song
all I hear is the crunching of my feet
as they crush the pavement on the street

Look up at the sky
the stars are bright tonight
I can never get enough of such a breathtaking sight

They send vision of grandeur like daggers to my brain
All i can do is wonder if i could possibly be going insane

Visions of he an I, and you and i and him and you, the collective us
All the thing we all can be and do if we just remain conscious

Look up at the sky
the stars are bright tonight
I can never get enough of such a breathtaking sight

So what? I'm like Bono huh? Just kidding :) Maybe I'll add to it another time when something comes to me. For now, I must shower! Zumba class went extra well today. I think i had almost 10 people. Also, i added 2 new dances and that made all the difference in the world. Variety really is the spice of life!

Zumba Update

OK, so I never heard back from Jim-Bo. That's ok. When I went to meet with him I had a long chat then I showed him my stuff. I could tell he was impressed with my skilz but he expressed concern about the fact that I had (at the time) never taught a single Zumba class. I can't say I blame him. Anyway, the good news is that it seem that he didn't pick any of the Zumba instructors at all. He put in a pilates class... wow, a pilates class in Seattle, how original! So whatev, I'm slightly relieved because I didn't really feel ready and I also have a new development that seems to be taking some of my time... i will save that blog for a later date.

I also have some good Zumba news too! I have officially taught 2 weeks of Zumba classes and they are going great! I had the class fill out comment cards after class 1 and I got responses like "best class ever", "thank you for making us all feel comfortable", and "can't wait for the next class".

I am secretly worried that the class might be a little boring but my friend who takes it assured me that I am mostly likely just grossly overestimating the dance abilities of the students. That's good for me because I can just do the same routines the next few weeks so they can "perfect them" and I don't have to do any outside work. Yeay!
