Cats, Capitalists, and Transformations…


Capitalism and Transformations

Cat - Cash Kitty - 20 Dollar Bill (CC)

I have to confess that I’m beginning to feel like a budding capitalist.  Oops!  I’m in business!  🙂

Also, I also have to confess that I’m feeling a little bit guilty about the preponderance of “Gee look at what I’m doing online” kind of posts which have appeared on my blog as of late.

But before all six of you who are reading this go all “99% on my not so skinny butt” let me connect the dots as to why me doing what I’m doing hooks up with me doing what I was doing.”  Still with me?  I hope so! LOL

This whole blog is a record of what is going on in my life as I try and move from

“out of shape, unemployed librarian” to “fit healthy in-shape full time writer and dance instructor”

At first the mission wasn’t so concrete and it certainly didn’t have the “unemployed” bit!  At first, I had a job, I had a blog, I had a very large body and I was VERY Stressed out and UNHAPPY

ai haz a happee! ©Well, now for the first time in ages, I’m happy; I’m not stressed, well not much anyway.   I still have the blog and the large body, but the 9-5 job is gone and my new job is transforming that body into something that I’m proud to call “my body.” However, to do that, well it takes money. *Siiiiiiiiigggggggggghhhhh*

I literally did just sigh as I typed this.  I kid you not!  I did!  I really did just sigh.  Now I’m smiling at myself for being silly and sharing that tidbit with you but hey, this is me we’re talking about.  LOL  And we all know I’m a little bit silly.  Ok, sometimes, I’m a lot silly

But I digress…  (yes, I do that a lot, but that’s how my brain is wired)

Oh, back to the post…

Top 10 “Best Known” Line Dances


New “Top Ten Line Dance List”
Posted on Squidoo.com:

Top Ten “Best Known” Line Dances

Kickit Logo (TM)

On the Internet there are a number of online stepsheet collections. Probably the best known and the largest of them is Kickit.

The URL for the site is “http://www.kickit.to/ld.”  Basically it is a huge database where you can search for a particular line dance and get the step sheet.

For those who are completely new to line dancing… A “Stepsheet” or “Step Sheet” or “Step-sheet” is an organized listing of the steps for a line dance as created by the choreographer. Watch for a post soon on how to read a step sheet. By reading the step sheet sometimes in combination with watching a video, you can learn the dance!

Once you hop on over to Squidoo, you’ll find a video for each dance followed by links to the stepsheet and music. Clicking on the music links will take you to the complete album listing where you can choose to preview the song and/or purchase the song or the complete album as a download. If you prefer, you can also purchase the album as a CD from Amazon by clicking on the link below.

I hope you enjoy this list of dances!

See ya on the dance floor!
