One, two, cha-cha-cha.

Sooooooooooooooooo, I went out dancing last night for the first time, and it was great. It was a new Country and Western Bar, and I was very nervous about going in but in I went. It was pretty crowded but I managed to find a stool at the back where I could still see the dance floor. The band finished the first set and I just sat though it sipping coke. I notice a guy in a stripped tee shirt at the bar was giving me the eye, and i thought "Oh god he's going to ask me to dance. He didn't, anyway the next set started and a fellow came over, grabbed my hand and led me off to the dance floor, and before I knew it there I was dancing to Brad Paisley It was soooooo wonderful, but I'm not sure if he was looking at me or my bra that was lit up under the black lights duh. (Note to self - Black lights and white underwear don't mix)

I went back to my stool and noticed that the guy at the bar was still eyeballing me, you know he would be looking at me, I would glance over, catch him, and he would quickly look away. I flashed him a smile. About two songs later the band played a slow dance and another guy came over and asked me if I would like to dance, and I nervously said yes. Slow dance, what was I thinking. I got my hands mixed up at first and I put my hand on his waist but quickly realized that it wasn't supposed to be there, then placed it on his shoulder. He took my waist and my other hand and we danced. It was so nice. I declined a second slow dance with him as I didn't want him to get too ambitious and went back to my seat to find the guy at the bar still eyeballing me. We made eye contact a couple of times and I again smiled at him thinking "Hey, you, what are you waiting for, a written invite. Just ask me to dance and I will" but no, all he did was smile back, Jeez, guys are dumb.

While I was having a good time and had a couple more dances, I did keeps my wits about me, and only drank coke, but it truly was a great night so I'm definitely going to do it again.

...I thought it was against the law to look so sexy at 53

Did the flood gates open or what. Last week I received email from one long lost friend and then this week two more arrived from two others. The word is out, I've been found. Now this could be a good thing or a bad thing but really I think it is wonderful to here from them after such a long time, yep it's good to have friends.

Another thing that I've noticed is that I'm being contacted a lot more on Yahoo Instant Messenger, by men looking to chat. They always have some very corny lines to get attention. The nicest being "Hello there, I thought it was against the law to look so sexy at 53" Yep he won, and I started to chat, yes I know I'm soooo weak, but hey a girls got to have fun.

A voice from the past...

I had rather a nice surprise yesterday. Waiting for me in my "In Box" was an email from a good friend who I hadn't heard from in almost eight maybe nine years. It felt good that given all that has transpired since I last heard/saw him he still felt close enough to contact me and give me a short up-date.

Of course I replied with quite a long email and hopefully he will reply in kind. This is so out of the blue, that someone was able to find me after all these years. It makes me think about who else knows but has not seen fit to contact me.

Emails can be happy things.

Today I received an email from my Dad in England. It was quite short but it contained some wonderful news. My Mom will be coming to visit me on May 13th, and 14th, yay.

I haven't seen her since last year and there have been some major life changes since we last saw each other. Although we chat on the phone at least once a month, visits are so much better. She is coming over to see my brother as well and he will be driving her from his house to mine so I will be able to see him as well. Can't wait.
