Wrist update, Rip Van Winkle, Line Dancing and Unbearable Cuteness!


Rip Van Winkle am I

Yoda, I am too, evidently.  Hmm… Say I.   Difficult to stop, it is.   Save me, somebody must.

Cat Kitten in a Cast Sleeping (CC)This week I have slept more than I have ever slept before in my entire life.  Which really really sucks because I really was planning on doing other non-physical things while my wrist has me out of commission.  Nope.  Some much for best laid plans.

Wed and Thursday, I literally slept about 35-40 of the 48 hours in those two days.  I’d wake up for a bit, then WHAMO!  Snnnnzzzzzz.  Wake up and WHAM!  Snnnnnnzzzzzzz Wake up for a….Snnnzzzzz

Get the picture?  I am so TIRED of sleeping!!!!!!!!!!!   In fact, I just woke up from a three hour nap.  I know that on this one that I should be listening to my body.  I’m guessing here that energy is being diverted to the healing process but come on!  Beginning tomorrow I’m going to force myself to try and get back to a more normal sleep pattern.    Wish me luck!

Wrist Update

My wrist showing the healing incision from the surgeryThe short version is that it is getting better but not as quickly as I would like.  It has been 4 and a half days since I saw the doc and he says I’m on schedule.  GROSS PHOTO warning… click on the image for a close up only if you like scars and dried flaking surgical glue…  You’ve been warned.  😉

He gave me a couple of therapy things to do which I’ve been doing faithfully:  Read the rest of this entry

If you will indulge me… I’m going to brag just a bit


Keep the rotten tomatoes handy in case my head gets TOO Big…

I iz Awesome ©2011One of the things I’ve been doing to create new income, since losing my job, is to write online.

The first actual money from this writing won’t show up until August, but all in all, I think it is shaping up into a very nice endeavor.

In case you were wondering, yes, there are people who actually do make money at it.  If you’re curious and want some cold hard statistics check out Greekgeek’s Squidoo Stats.

But I digress…  Back to that bragging thing…  😉

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!
