I own and rock people’s faces off teaching ballroom dancing at Dancers Studio in St. Paul, MN. My husband and I compete professionally in American style and wrangle eight children in our spare time. I’ve been teaching and competing in ballroom dancing for over 25 years and have lots of opinions on it. I am an expert by any means, but there are quite a few dancers who are better than me and I have a solid knowledge of basic technique, so suck it.

List of Last Week’s Labors of Love

– an hour and a half of weeding somehow made the garden look worse.

weedy garden

bad garden, bad!

– plants are on the way for the 2nd bed.  Maybe I will spend some more time out there, trying to contain my over-achieving plants?

– this is how you put on lipstick, then admire it…

– danced at TCO.  "Low points": dancing 9 rounds (A- hell, that's a lot of dancing; B- isn't that the point?), missing the Open Rhythm semi-final by 1 mark (kind of glad not to dance it, though; I was rather tired).  High points: dancing 9 rounds (um, hello, 2nd place in Rising Star Smooth! nice to meet you; what's up Open Smooth final, nice to see you again), missing the Open Rhythm semi-final by 1 mark (we did make the Rising Star semi, and almost made the final).

– party party party.  Our good friend stayed with the ladies Saturday night while we danced and then partied with friends, new and old.  And Kimberley Mitchell talked to me.  *drool* Love her.
