Watching the oldies but goodies

September 18, 2007 by Tricia

While I was lying on the couch earlier today trying to recover from the severe pain I was in last night and trying to sleep I scanned through the channels and I came across a station that was playing really old television shows.

I watched episodes of Lassie, Happy Days, Maude, and All in the family – remember Archie Bunker? I haven’t seen any of those shows in ages! You know, shows like All in the Family are still funny today. Yeah it was a politically incorrect show, but it had it’s funny moments.

It was sad to think that the majority of the cast that I saw on All in the Family are long gone. It just goes to show how old that show really is I guess!

Do you ever scan the channels and stop to watch an old show that you might not have seen since you were a kid?

I can’t wait for Heroes to start next week!

September 17, 2007 by Tricia

Just for the heck of it my husband and I watched Heroes this evening.

As I suspected it was last years season finale that they were showing this evening. When you enjoy a show as much as Chris and I enjoy Heroes it doesn’t hurt to watch the previous seasons finale just before the new season starts as it helps you remember exactly where the show left off when you last saw it.

Did you watch the show? Did you see the end? Hiro seems to have either gone into the distant past or ended up in the middle of a re-enactment of a historic scene … I won’t say what it was in case you didn’t see it, but I suspect that that’s where this seasons premiere will begin.

Learn to dance the Salsa, Merengue, Cha-Cha and Bachata

September 15, 2007 by Tricia

Have you ever wanted to learn how to dance the Salsa? It’s a lovely dance and it’s fun too.

Perhaps you experimented with Latin dance while on a vacation? Come on, you’ve tried it haven’t you? I was lucky enough to learn to Salsa and Meringue when I was only 12 years old as I got to spend two months in the Caribbean visiting my brother. He lived and worked on one of the islands and I have wonderful memories of that time.

Never mind vacations and dancing I’ve noticed that over the last few years there’s been a lot of interest in various types of dance. Look at shows like Dancing with Stars – doesn’t that make you want to dance too?

I think people have become more interested in dance because the television shows have made it so much more popular, and also because the stars in the dance shows really get themselves in good shape. Just look at how their bodies change from the start of the dance competitions to the finales? The stars are in fantastic shape after all those hours of dancing. If dancing will do that for me – sign me up!

If you’re interested in dance you should visit the Salsa, Merengue & Bachata Dance Bootcamp. It’s an online dance school. Imagine that.

As a member of the online Salsa BootCamp you can watch videos that will take you step by step through each of the Latin dances that they teach. Lessons start off with the most basic of steps and work their way through to advanced dance steps. As a member you’ll also receive free professional quality DVDs that you can use to practice dance steps anywhere.

Just think. You can learn how to do these beautiful dances in the privacy of your own home. It’s a fun way to get some exercise and you’ll be able to surprise your family and friends when you show them how well you can do the Salsa, Merengue, Cha-cha and Bachata.

When you sign up to learn to Dance with Salsa Dancing BootCamp you’ll get two free DVD’s right off the bat. You can start with a three day free membership if you want to explore the site and begin a few dance lessons in order to see if you’ll enjoy the courses. If you want to continue after your first free three day trial you can choose from a month, three month or one year membership. You’ll get free DVD’s and Salsa dance music with each membership.

It certainly sounds like fun and there’s plenty of lessons to take at the Salsa Bootcamp. Who knows, I might even sign up and brush up on my mostly forgotten Salsa and Merengue dance steps too.

Canceled due to illness

September 15, 2007 by Tricia

Well I didn’t end up going out of town to the surprise Anniversary party.

I had a massively horrible headache all last night that didn’t give up the ghost until about five in the morning. I probably just about killed my liver taking Tylenol yesterday. Hey maybe I did hurt my stomach, ’cause it started to act up worse than normal by about 11 pm so I was contending with my headache/ migraine and abdominal pain at the same time and into the night.

Needless to say I really didn’t get any sleep so I could see going out of town to a surprise party that might not even happening!

At about 11 am Chris called his sister to see what the plan was for later in the day. Since I wasn’t going to Brantford he’d decided to go a bit earlier and clean out the eaves troves for his parents since they’d asked him to do it a couple weeks before. Chris’ sister couldn’t talk long when he called because she was cooking a turkey and a roast for the small party!

Hey … this was supposed to be an afternoon party with finger foods.

I mean, our friends didn’t even know about the party and I’m pretty sure the reason it was supposed to just be a small late afternoon party was because Jan had to work in the evening or do a night shift at the Casino. So now she’s going to go to work with a big meal of turkey in her belly and probably fall asleep at work? LOL Maybe.

I just hope that Jan really isn’t greeting them at the door dressed in lingerie or something right about now …
