the cha cha...

last night as suggested by my previous blog, i went line dancing with my grandparents. among other things, i learned how to do a cha cha line dance and i must say, it was a good time minus the melodic selection. this precious, very old couple was there dancing to the beat of their own country music drummer and i got to watch this amazing ballroom dancing couple shake their hips better than the most scantily clad clubsters of my own generation. amazing! on a side note, my extensive research on digital cameras may actually be leading to a near future purchase...i think after much deliberation and prayer (well, not actual prayer per say) i've chosen the ebay route and "i'd say strong, to quite strong" that i will get the best bang for my buck that meets my amateur, yet well intentioned photographic desires. this just in as well: i've realized that the length of my blogs will most definitely be long, and well, probably frequent, so please consider carefully the amount of my words you're prepared to handle on a regular basis because if you so choose to be a frequent visitor to this site, you may consider making the purchase of some reading glasses...

today...

it's interesting being at home again, even for a short period of time - i feel as if i can't really be myself here. i've changed over the last 5 years being away, and although i love my family, it's as if i feel trapped in this small town. i will not be here for long since this is just a visit, but how i wish that my house felt like home to me. i think there's a song about that...possibly revamped as a result of american idol? not sure...well, i've just managed to put a bummer of a blog up for my first entry. sorry 'bout that. after my random evening of line dancing at the club my grandparents go to tonight, i'm sure i'll have some whopper of a story...until then...
