Today is the day I get the lost filling fixed. I am going to try my best to not think about it too much. I'm not scared of the dentist, by any means. It's just annoying to have cavities filled. Even moreso when you have to have it redone. Luckily, my dentist has little televisions in all the patient rooms so I can distract myself. They usually play movies like 'National Treasure' or 'Zorro.' With any luck, they'll have something good on today.
I want a pretty house
My Zumba meeting this morning went well. I begin teaching at the community center on April 5. I'll be sure to post more information when I can. Until then, I will spend my boring days looking at beautiful antique hardware reproductions even though they would look completely out of place in my house. I need a prettier house so I can have pretty doorknobs. Then again, I'm ready to just have a new house period! Mine seems to be falling apart all the time. I think I need a new, sturdier one.
Zumba update
I have a meeting this morning with the local community center. We're going to talk about holding Zumba classes in their gym. If everything goes well, I'll be teaching there twice a week. Not to be selfish but that means that I'll lose more weight as well. I can't wait!
A mixed weekend
It's difficult to classify my weekend. On one hand, my daughter turned nine on Saturday. Her birthday party went well. Everyone had fun and the food was delicious. On the other hand, I lost a filling in my tooth on Sunday. That means I have to try to make an appointment with my dentist to get it fixed. I also tried (and failed) to find some good outdoor lighting. I park my car behind our house. Normally, there is a regular light back there so I don't have to trip down the stairs in the dark. Unfortunately, that light burns out a lot. I was trying to find a better solution. (Though, the best solution would be to get rid of daylight saving time so I don't have to come home in the dark...) I'll have to do some more looking around. There has to be a better way.
Favorite Friday
Jdorama update
I am having such a difficult time getting through this series. Currently, I am on episode THREE of Manhattan Love Story. I just can't get into it, which makes me want to do something else instead of watching it. There's eleven episodes for me to soldier through. I have no idea how long it will take me to watch this. My goal is to have it done by Monday. I guess we'll see if it happens. I'll try my best though!
Monday!
Well, OK....I'm not really that excited that it's Monday. Honest. After all, that means another work week to trudge through and it's supposed to rain all day. It's not the best day ever. However, my legs have stopped aching finally. Also, my daughter's birthday is this weekend so I'll be spending most of the week getting ready for that. And I'm to the good part of Zumba training - picking out the songs and getting choreography ready. (I'm trying not to think too far ahead again. We are allowed to sell Zumbawear to our customers so I keep debating the need to research merchandising jobs to see how people handle it. Not yet, Cass.)
So, in all, I hope this week will be fun and mostly relaxing.
Massage Day!
My husband and I have a couples massage today. Not a moment too soon, I think! My legs were feeling a bit better, then I decided to go to my Saturday morning Zumba class. Now they ache again. I hope this massage will make them feel all better. As an aside, I'd like to ask a question. A few of my friends are currently pregnant. Since it's been a few years since I went down that road, I'm sure things have changed. Anyone have any ideas on what the best prenatal vitamin is out there today? I was lame and didn't take mine because they made me sick. Not taking them didn't seem to have any bad consequences though...
Exhaustion
I successfully completed my Zumba instructor training yesterday. It was pretty difficult but I did it. My entire body is sore though. (I wonder...are there any supplements to combat muscle soreness? ^_^ ) I'm excited about getting everything ready to teach a class. It'll take me a few week to memorize the music and the movements though. That's OK. It'll probably take me that long to recover from the intense training! I don't mean to scare people off by saying it was difficult and I'm sore. It's only difficult because they needed to teach us all the basic moves and there are a bunch of them. A regular class wouldn't be that intense. Regular classes are fun!
early Favorite Friday
Since I won't be around all day tomorrow and I'm not sure what my schedule will be like on Friday as a result, I'm giving you an early Favorite Friday video. It's the Zumba guy, Beto Perez, on a morning talk show.
I have to admit that I am a little bit nervous about my training class. Mostly because I have problems with new social situations and I'm kinda afraid that I will be the fattest person there. (Aren't fitness instructors always way thin? Is it that they exercise a lot or do they take apidexin? Hrm...) Hopefully I'll get over that quickly once I get there. Wish me luck!
