I just re-read my last post and I can only assume I was bordering on delirious when I wrote it. Well except that it sounds a lot like my other incoherent ramblings (also known as this whole blog) so I'll try to assume that the internet at large loves it when I sound just a teensy bit insane and/or sleep deprived.
Speaking of insane... my life has been INSANE these past few weeks. One of my best friends got married this past week, which was fantastic! And work has been semi-crazy as well. But mostly I just feel like it's been a whirlwind of family stuff, and friends stuff, and stuff stuff.
Brady and I went to Zumba today, which is something we do every Tuesday now. It's embarrassing how much better Brady is at Zumba than I am. Zumba is based on Latin rhythms. It requires the shaking of hips, the undulating of bodies, and occasionally the very feminine art of shimmying. And to be really good, it requires attitude. Brady has the attitude. And he's surprisingly good at the shaking of the hips and the shimmying. I'm chalking it up to his Guatemalan heritage. We Germans just weren't made for shimmying.
Really though, I have to admit that watching Brady shimmy and shake just impresses me. Somehow it makes him seem all the more masculine, because seriously, how many men are secure enough to take a class with five women and no men. (Although, considering it's a class where said women shimmy and shake and undulate in time to Latin rythyms, you have to wonder what all those straight men are waiting for. Not to mention at the last class our teacher asked if any of the girls were single and they all raised their hands (including me, but only because I missed the question and thought the hand raising thing was a dance move)). I like to think that all the manly men who peered in at our Zumba class on their way to the rock climbing were thinking "Damn, that guy is BRILLIANT! Dancing with all those single ladies. And man, he looks great doing it too! Sign me up!"
Of course, then I remember what I look like doing the undulating body roll move, and I think maybe they weren't thinking he was lucky so much as being tortured.
And now to go to bed before 12 for the first time in DAYS. I'm more excited than I should be.
