So I've now officially started my ballet class....needless to say my skills are still the same....can't balance, can't straighten my legs out all the way, not flexible in the least! And did I forget to mention that I kinda look, for lack of a better phrase, like I'm taking a dump when I plie? I've decided that I will be the comedy relief for the others in the class, ha ha. I know that I'm not a dancer, I just have to take this class for my degree. I'm a singer, but hopefully taking this class will improve my posture and "gracefulness" on stage. But I'm the short "curvy" girl in the class in comparison to all of the tall twigs that are in there.
I've been working out lots thus far in the month of June. My ballet class is for 2 hours and then I lap swim for about an hour directly afterwards. So hopefully by the end of the month I will be more toned and loose a little of weight too. I've also been refreshing my languages via The Rosetta Stone software. It's been helpful, but not quite what I was expecting. In other news, just learning new voice literature. I have a lesson with Pina on Friday, so big YAY! My lessons are the high points of my week, I just love 'em! I always feel better about myself after them.
It's been a little warm here in Wichita the past few days, but the evenings are beautiful! About 70 degrees with a cool breeze. I love sitting on my porch in my wooden swing and reading a good book with a glass of wine....it's the perfect way to wind down at the end of the day. I also am being eaten out of house and home, but love it at the same time. There is a family of finches that live just off to the left side of my porch. I bought a bird feeder a few months ago and it has to be refilled about every 2 days or so. They are so fun to watch hopping along the wire bars :) And I bought myself a shrubbery...okay, it's not a shrubbery, it's a vine to be accurate...a Mandavilla. It looks like it could have a few blooms any day now! I just love seeing and watching the beautiful nature around me. It the little things that I enjoy so much. They are God's little gifts to all of us, we just need to take the time to see and enjoy them. I'm off to bed because I have ballet tomorrow...eek!
