Text Messaging with My Sister:

Her: Hey! How's your day been so far (though it prob just started! Haha)
Me: I AM NOT WEARING CLOTHES.
Her: Um, well that's not what I wanted to hear but I hope you're not at work like that Mr.
Me: We have a very lax dress code.
Her: You mean you LACK a dress code.
Me: Ooh, clever.
Her: I learn my wittiness from the best (ie my two brothers)

Laga,

I think you have special pill swallowing skills.

How in the heck do I dress for a job interview in New Orleans summer that involves being out on a potential job site for part of it? Closed toe shoes and long pants, yes... and a short sleeve blouse, I guess?

Man, I hate it when I sometimes don't take the pill right. (I don't know why it happens - but sometimes it does.)

How would you dress if you were a male? Would the shirt be a polo or a button down?

Skipping and skimming like a skimmy thing-- go smonster on your job interview-- you're totally going to rock it!

Much ~ma and feel better to everyone who needs it.

I'm in recovery after my weekend of dancing-- yesterday went okay. I kind of choked on cha-cha which is still pissing me off, but it gives me something to work towards. I was thinking too much, which Lewis said was clear. He could see the wheels turning and smell the smoke. The rumba was better-- and I did take a first in one of the heats, but overall, what I got out of the weekend was seeing concrete evidence of what I want to accomplish, the bad habits I want nip in the bud, and putting some faces and names to the people I'm going to run up against as I start competing more throughout the West Coast. (Which... *she mumbles somewhat sheepishly* I'm going to do.) Should things continue progressing the way I want, I'll be in SoCal for the Hollywood Dancesport Series the first weekend in November.

I also saw a LOT of tacky ballroom gowns/dresses. Oh my word, I'm so glad my instructors steered me in the right direction with respect to laying out money for nice gowns now.

Latin dancing seems to require fringe ... lots and lots of fringe.

Congrats, Barb!

Barb,

I feel like watching "Strictly Ballroom" again in your honor.

Barb, the more you dance in general, the more all the basics (posture, etc) will become automatic; the more you dance a given routine, the more it becomes automatic. Less thinky, then. (all probably stuff you already know)

And depending on the costume, not much else!

If you're on G+, I posted a picture of my probable interview outfit tomorrow. (If you're not on G+ and really want to see it, let me know.)

Oooh, yes, I would like that chair.

I would also like to win the lottery. Job hunting BLOWS.
