Dancing with the Stars

O.k...here goes I am practically holding my breath as I watch Dancing with the Stars. It is so hard because I think both contestants are great. I have to admit though I truly enjoy watching Mario dance he is so intense. All the professional partners are just astounding and I must say I am a little jealous.

I always wanted to be a ballroom dancer and yet it wasn't in the cards for me. At least not in this lifetime. That of course is not to say that I can't learn ballroom dancing.
In fact it is still on the list of things to do before I die.

I nudge my husband about it all the time and truth be told he is even more into the show Dancing with the Stars than I am.

Every time I bring up learning ballroom dancing though I get a "we'll see".
I think it is going to take every coaching tool I have to get him see what a wonderful opportunity it would be for both of us.

But the fact still remains that this gal ain't getting any younger and I won't be able to enjoy it at the full level I would love to....but you bet I can still have a lot of fun.

I must say though that I am noticing more people have fun on the dance floor...actually doing dances and not just mindlessly moving back and forth.

If I keep seeing people around my age taking up ballroom I think the dance floor will be a more interesting place. I am all for that and I am looking forward to when I actually have a little spare time to work on learning some of the moves.

I don't think I will be asked to participate in Dancing with the Stars but I will learn a skill I can enjoy for many years to come....Go Mario!
