Z is for Zumba

Remember the class I was going to take? Well, It is a slow process for me, but one day I will finish my book. Here is one of my entries for the letter "Z".

Zumba
Have you ever made a decision not knowing how much it would change your life? Well, that is how I feel about Zumba. Back in May 2010 when I finally gave Zumba a shot, I did not realize how much I would love it! Yes, it took about 4 instructors to find the one who would motivate me, but it happened, and I am offically in love. Monday and Thursday are the highlights to each week. Zumba is more to me than just exercise. I tried it to prove to myself that I could actually do something that in my head I had told myself was too hard for me. I don’t have balance, coordination, or rythmn. I am too self-conscious, and I can’t do this in front of others. What if they see me and make fun of me? All these thoughts went through my head at one time, but I went inspite of my thoughts. And what did I find? Sure my balance, coordination, and rythmn aren’t the greatest, but with time they have all improved. We are all there with the same purpose, to have fun and feel good, so if I look stupid sometimes it is okay. If I leave class feeling good and wanting to come back then that is all that matters. Zumba has helped me break down some walls that I put up a long time ago. It is my own prozac.

Me: The Abridged Version

I am registered and anxiously awaiting for class to begin.

Fan Emergency

I sent this to my friend as a email today and decided that it would be a good blog post. I am going to try and write everyday, not sure if it will end up here, but at least I'll be writing...


I almost had a major emergency at 11:30 last night. My fan has been on the fritz lately. I have to turn to level 3 for it to start and then turn it to level 1. I haven't bought a new one cuz it still works..sortof. well last night I turned it to 3 and it was not moving at all. I tried like a million times and nothing. I looked around to see if kay had another fan...nothing...I almost started freaking out, cuz how the heck was I going to get to sleep with no fan!!! I decided to plug the fan directly into the wall outlet. I turned it on and I at least heard some motor noise, even if it was faint. I tried that a couple more times, and then, miraculously the fan started to work.

Needless to say, I will be going to Walmart today and getting a new fan...I can't have a close call like this again!! :)

New Beginning

I want to start blogging again...I just don't know what to write about. I have lost my nitch, if I even ever had one.

I am obsessed with Ugly Betty right now. I have started to relate my life experiences to the show. I feel like I know the characters, along with so many other tv/movie characters who are my "friends". Sometimes I think it is sad that I do this, but then I just shrug it off and say oh well, it is part of who I am.

Ugly Betty, check it out.

Just because...

I came across this song awhile back, I was looking for songs with my name in it :) The group that sings it is Safetysuit. Anyway, I like it.


There was a girl named Annie, she had a very pretty face
And not the way you think so let me see if I can try to explain it
She had a smile that could light up the room and if she moved it'd be moving in you
But she wasn't like a magazine, she was just plain Jane and her name was Annie

She never looked in the mirror, she never liked what she would see
And even if I tried to tell her, she never listened to a word I'd say
She always wanted what she never had, but never had what she needed so badly
Someone telling her she was fine and that's not right and it's why I'm saying

Annie don't be shy here,
Annie don't just lie there,
looks don't make the world go round but it comes around
Annie don't be shy here,
Annie please don't cry here,
I always have to stop myself
Cause you're beautiful

I didn't know if I could tell her, I didn't know if I could make her see
She didn't need to find her beauty, she didn't need to find a way to show me
They took her moments of feeling alive and made them moments of dying inside
She needed someone to scream her name, to take her pain and it's why I'm screaming

Annie don't be shy here,
Annie don't just lie there,
looks don't make the world go round but it comes around
Annie don't be shy here,
Annie please don't cry here,
I always have to stop myself
Cause you're beautiful

And Annie you are the one sight my eyes never tire of,
it's like I cannot get enough of you
Annie you are the one song left in my symphony,
like you were made for me

Annie don't be shy here,
Annie don't just lie there,
looks don't make the world go round but it comes around
Annie don't be shy here,
Annie please don't cry here,
I always have to stop myself
Cause you're beautiful
