one of the minnie's moochers, that is. they're based out of ithaca and are one of the best swing dance performance teams in the nation. where? lindy hop body shop in dallas. i didn't get up there for the workshop, but i was able to go to the dances in the evening. we spent saturday bumming around shopping at a thrift store in mckinney. *gasp* one that appeared to have not been found by a swing dancer yet. i found the cutest pair of sailor pants you've ever seen - black, high-waisted, six buttons down the front, and three white stripes around the bottom of each leg. i also got a pair of striped pants, another pair of sailor pants without the stripe, and a cute swishy skirt. all in all a good trip - i only spent $13!
anyway. i was having a great night. my knee held up beautifully (i'm still not going to push my luck!), and i finally seem to be figuring out musicality and stuff. there is quite a bit for me to work on - i'm pretty sure i'm still a heavy follow, and i'm trying to get rid of these weird kick things i do instead of swiveling. i'm working on it, though.
it's moving day! or moving week, at least. the apartment complex agreed finally to paint the cabinets in the kitchen of my new apartment white (it looks *so* much better!!), and they should be moving the appliances back into place this evening. i spent last night shuffling boxes around in my apartment, grouping them by room in my roommate's empty bedroom so that when my friends help me move they won't have to ask where stuff goes. i've also found a ton of stuff my roommate left behind. I really don't want to store it/keep it. i hope she gets back to me soon - otherwise i'll probably just pitch it all in the garbage or something.
back to work, i suppose. i'm in the middle of up updating information for the new school year on the webpage at work.
