Sad

This was a pretty good weekend. I managed to vacuum, and updated the financial software. Also said goodbye to our friends Steve & Meri, who will be moving the end of this week. We'll miss them a lot, but hopefully we can visit them in the near future. I made a little progress on our trip plans, and discovered a new way I like to eat tuna. And in case you can't tell from the above, I would happily spend all my time watching Fred Astaire movies, if only I could.

Christmas Wishlist No. 3

I am currently obsessed with ballroom dancing. This isn't a new obsession by any means, but is currently moving full throttle thanks to the finale of Dancing With the Stars last week. And is also being helped along by my purchase of the dance game inspired by the show. And constantly watching videos on youtube. I've been fascinated with the idea of dancing ever since I fell for Fred Astaire as a kid. And I think if I found this gem under my Christmas tree that my ballroom obsession would probably last right through till the next season of DWTS, and beyond.
