Pole Dance - Lesson 4

Perma-Bruises.

But not as sore as I have been. I was able to do all the pushup work and all of the stretches. I'm slowly starting to build my strength and the moves are starting to feel natural. Even having my hands wondering is starting to feel natural.

Yesterday we learned the backwards spin. While walking around the pole: Step with inside foot; step with outside foot; Swing your inside foot all the way around you until what was once the outside foot becomes wrapped around the pole; Land on your knees; Back arch and get up in sexy manor. I need more practice on this one.

This morning when I woke up, I realized that my arms were a little sore from doing all the floor work (it's like doing variations on pushups for 20-30 min) and I was having trouble reaching my feet with my legs strait. It's now just after noon (and yes I changed the clock to reflect daylight savings time) and I've already managed to find my ankles. All little bit more stretching and those toes will be mine. Mu-ha-ha-ha!

In other news, I keep wanting to do something different with my hair. My brains easy answer is cut it off. But I'm hesitant to do that. Everybody thinks its a bad idea. So I tried straitening it this morning with a round brush. I'm not very good at it but it looks better and reduces my urge to cut it off. Maybe I will try straitening it. I might even get good at the round brush thing.

Otherwise, it's been a really uneventful week. I'm still waiting for my acceptance to school for winter term to come back. I wish they would hurry up. I still need to apply for student loans but I have to ensure that I get in first before I do that. Hurry up.

The one interesting, and positive, thing that did happen this week... My Mom is trying to quit smoking again. She gets closer every time she tries. And then she have one smoke and call the whole thing off. So I was giving her a pep talk. One of those, "If you oops one night and smoke when you're out with your friends (it doesn't help that all of her friends smoke), don't reach for the pack the next morning. Keep going and brush off the oops." and so on. Then it hit me: I was giving my Mom a think-positive talk. She's been giving me those all the way through this rough point and now I'm giving one. My mind set is finally showing that it really is changing. Woo Hoo!

Today we're going to my parents house. This is important because they are redoing the paint job. Yeah! No more pink walls. I will post pictures. I'm sure I have one that shows the old colour. Or maybe they haven't painted a room yet and I can get a picture of that. And it's not just another boring colour. It's actually colour. Real, vibrant colour!

This is me signing off. One doesn't have all day to write you know.
