Tap, Tap,Tap



Well, I looked at the name of my blog and had to laugh. Definitely my body is growing up and I guess am just not ready for it. I have always wanted to learn to tap dance and last September I had the opportunity to start classes and so with the encouragement from Jeff and Jill I did. 5 months later I am going to have to stop. Oh my aching knees... went to the Dr. and was told I have arthritis in both my knees and chondromalacia (soften of the tendons). Really? So I could either continue and after every tap go ouch or start taking better care of myself such as eating better, wearing my braces, and strengthening my quads. So I chose the latter. I figure that I have full filled one of my things on my list of things to do before I go up to see my parents. Life is funny as we all know. I guess the thing that I am trying to say. Is if there is something that you want to do, then you must at least try it. Even if just for 5 months. Life is grand and not so grand! But if that is the worst thing that is happening to me in 53 years...not too bad. :0)

Baby it's cold out there...


They are calling it the Winter Storm of 2011! And I guess it is seeing that schools have been closed for 3 days due to the tempatures not getting out of the teens. The funny thing is that people tend to forget that down here in the Dallas area we are not equipped for these types of conditions. People complaining about no power, but forgetting that at least they shelter. I for one am thankful and it may not be the weather in St. Croix it is Texas and we will survive the "Winter Storm of 2011".
