Swing Dancing

I am ashamed of myself. I cannot believe I forgot to write about my night swing dancing. Well. It's kind of hard to write about it without going on and on about all the people I danced with. I just tell you the highlights.
Well, the night didn't start out very well. As soon as we walked in, the scary looking guy dressed in all black asked me to dance. Wah. It was funny to dance with him however, because he frowned the whole time while we were dancing to this upbeat happy song.
I got to dance with 'Big-Headed Boy' who was one of my favorites, and the 'Spinny Guy' who was this old man who spins you the whole time.
But I have to say- my ultimate favorite was Maris. He was this black guy who totally got into the music. It was funny, because instead of coming up to me and asking me to dance, he kind of just dragged me off without my permission and started dancing. Yeah, he was confident. But he had a reason to be. I thought he was good. But then again, I don't have very good judgment 'cause I'm a newbie. Oh well. He taught me a new move as well.
I also danced with the nondescript guy. He wasn't really nondescript, but I was trying to tell Nikol who he was, but I couldn't describe him and I couldn't remember his name, therefore gaining him the title of 'the nondescript guy'.
There was also a birthday circle and performances. The performances were good, but I think if I were in the birthday circle I would die. Simply because I wouldn't be able to handle all the eyes on me and my lack of swing dance knowledge.
There's more I'd like to write, but I'm sure you don't want to here about every single dance, so I'll spare you.

New Beginnings

I'm starting to really focus on Personal Progress more. I'm starting a 10-hour project. I get to plan our next New Beginnings. And guess what? It's Princess themed! Yay. That makes me so happy, I just couldn't turn it down.
Anyway, I'm really excited. I'm gonna make a castle cake and make banners, and make everything pretty and pink. One thing I'm not looking forward to too much is painting three castles on cardboard. With acrylics. I am not a fan of acrylics, but painting it with oils would definitely be a unwise move.
I need ideas for handouts. I wanted to give out a crown to each girl coming in, but I can't do that. (For a secret reason I can't tell anyone. ;D ) So any ideas would be great.
Eee!
Excitement!

That is one big tumbleweed!

Today was most interesting. Our family went outside to do yard work together and we took out this HUGE weed. Dad had to chop it up into little pieces. And with what? Why, Amy's machete from Brazil of course! It was a great sight to see. When we filled the truck with the whole weed, it filled the whole truck plus one or two feet. First, Mom had to sit on it, and then Dad started jumping on it. And I actually got a picture- and video- of it!
Karmen seemed to enjoy all the time with us as well. She was jumping all over the place following us everywhere.

I loved that tumbleweed.

Go, Dad!

And of course- the video of Dad jumping. I know some of you are thinking "So what? He's just jumping..." But this video makes me happy. 'Cause it's Dad jumping. Sorry that it's in black and white. I forgot to change the settings before I took the video.
Yay for tumbleweeds.

Color Code

Yesterday I went puddle jumping with Andrea and Nikol. I got soaked all the way up to my waist with gutter water. Lovely.
I took to color code test today. I got a red-white. The second hardest combination to get. My dominate color is white. It really fits me. Here's what the book says about red-whites:
"Red-White combinations are difficult to read because they can be aggressive and determined one minute (Red), then quietly passive the next (White). If you fit this category, your guiding motive is power and peace. You are likely to be misunderstood because your behavior is inconsistent, and you don't easily allow others to figure you out."
White fits me most because it says people that are white tend to have a silent stubbornness about them, and can be very indecisive at times. They enjoy listening to others, but can often be very unmotivated.
So I've decided- since I'm Red-White, aren't I technically pink?
Yay, pink! =)

Updated Celebrity Look-Alike

Here's my outcome of the celebrity look alike thing. I do have some similar people in there, but it's a little different.
