Ready to Rumba!

Last year, I had the privilege of dancing in the local fundraiser based on Dancing with the Stars.  It was a great experience and I had a blast.

Actually, I was voted "Audience Favorite" for the women.  This year I have been asked to come back and dance with the male favorite.  I just got my assignment and we're working on setting a rehearsal schedule.  Of course, we're starting off way later than last year.  But, it doesn't matter.  I don't have to win. 

I just have to look worthy of having won.  Hmm, I wonder if that is possible? 

The most exciting thing about dancing this year is my weight loss.  I'm curious to see how much more I will be able to do.  But, even more important... I won't have the costume issues of before.  I had an incredible costume last year.  Truly, it was exceptional.  And, it made the dance.  That's why I won.  It was spectacular.  The bottom of the dress was 8 yards of fabric around.  That dress weighed close to 40 pounds!  It was heavy. But, when I turned... it was incredible.  Of course, it had to be specially made -- which took lots of time and money.  This year, I should be able to shop in a store.  And, that's pretty exciting. 

I'm so ready to rumba!!
