For awhile it seemed that life just kind of sucked with hubby not getting enough hours doing electrical work and me getting tired of having so little money left over for fun. So I didn't really want to do much beyond what I have to do. (Work.) Plus, my job I have now is second shift Monday through Thursday. (So no free time for classes on those nights.) :-( I've never been a fan of second shifts and when I'm not such a new employee, I'll start hinting around about first shift.

Hubby just got a job with a real employer so things are getting way better, but I'm still on second shift. And just before that, tribal and tribal fusion quickly pushed cabaret to the very back of my mind.

I want to study tribal fusion, but maybe you want to get more students who are interested in it before having a class for it. And then there is me with the four weeknights at work. <Sigh> And as for ATS, Fraya won't be having Saturday classes this winter quarter. She even had to cancel the Saturday classes this quarter because there weren't enough students.

But SkittleBug (hubby) and I joined Gold's Gym where they have Marcia's class on Friday nights. (Even though it's mainly just for exercise and not learning dances.) I ordered two of the Balady scimitars from Kult of Athena. I love stuff like that. (Hey all you folks who wanted them, they'll be coming in this month!) I've been selling CD's, DVD's, books, and zills I didn't want anymore and getting other stuff. I'll check out the DVD's you recommended, too.

I also read something about the student show being on January 12. If I can learn a dance (and put together a costume that won't have my extra fat sticking out of it), that would be great. If not, I'll be in the audience.

Have you heard from anyone named Holly? She's on first shift where I work. She was kind of interested in bellydancing, so I told her about your website.
