How my life is going...
Brilliant day today.
Work went well, we got a lot of work done, including some access that my co-worker Katherine had been working with IT to sort out for a few days. We've got a team building day tomorrow. That should be interesting.
Then I went to belly dancing class for the first time.
Man, I *really* suck at dancing. But I decided today I don't care. If I like it, and I'm at least enjoying it, I'll just keep at it until either it's not fun anymore or I get better. So, win-win.
And someone said they liked my skirt. Not someone at the class (although they liked it too - i was the ONLY one in the class wearing a skirt, everyone else was in spandex workout gear) but a random (work related) bloke in the pub before hand. And I don't think he was taking the mick either. It really boosted my self image. Especially since I was feeling a bit self-concious in my 'gothy' skirt.
So. For next weeks class I am going to
a) practice my shimmy. It is SO much harder than it looks (or than my brain thinks it should be!)
b) get a hip scarf. cheap way to add fun.
c) wear leggings and possibly a crop top.

I don't know much (well, anything ...) about dancing but in general the key to mastering most physical activities is practise and repetition till it gets so ingrained you don't have to think about it any more.
It takes a hell of a lot of time and effort to make something look effortless.
