I'm a W-O-M-A-N.

I went dancing last night again. Salsa, merengue,and Bachata were the order of the evening. I danced with about 6 or 7 different ballroom instructors...and it was really,really fun. I have been lightly tossing the idea in my head of looking into what it would take for me to compete at the Ohio Star Ball (ballroom dance competition)next fall. I don't have a ton of time or money to throw at it...but it would be SUCH a fun goal for me to work towards. So...I was kind of scoping out the instructors..see who I dance well with, and snatching info about their experiences competing.

I probably won't. But maybe I will.

Not sure.

Then again....

.... every time I look at that photo above,

I think I don't really have a choice. I simply MUST wear a dress like that and DANCE in it once (preferably more than once...but you get the idea) before I die.

One funny thing, this morning, as I was talking to my sis on the phone, we were joking that I am the living impersonation of Peggy Lee's song, "I'm a Woman" click to listen! It's SUCH a cute song.

(I have ALWAYS loved her music.)

The lyrics are SOO incredibly appropriate. haha.

I'm like a 1940's swing dancin' housewife right now.

I highly recommend giving it a try! =)

Here we have why I am the WOMAN.

~

I can wash out 44 pairs of socks and have 'em hangin out on the line
I can starch & iron 2 dozens shirts 'fore you can count from 1 to 9
I can scoop up a great big dipper full of lard {or butter/olive oil as the case my be} from the drippins can
Throw it in the skillet, go out & do my shopping, be back before it melts in the pan
'Cause I'm a woman! W-O-M-A-N, I'll say it again

I can rub & scrub this old house til it's shinin like a dime
Feed the baby, grease the car, & powder my face at the same time
Get all dressed up, go out and swing {or salsa!} til 4 a.m.{or at least midnight! haha!} and then
Lay down at 5, jump up at 6, and start all over again
'Cause I'm a woman! W-O-M-A-N, I'll say it again

If you come to me sickly you know I'm gonna make you well
If you come to me all hexed up you know I'm gonna break the spell
If you come to me hungry you know I'm gonna fill you full of grits
If it's lovin you're likin, I'll kiss you and give you the shiverin' fits
'Cause I'm a woman! W-O-M-A-N, I'll say it again

I can stretch! a green black dollar bill from here to kindom come!
I can play the numbers pay the bills and still end up with some!
I got a twenty-dollar gold piece says there ain't nothing I can't do
I can make a dress out of a feed bag and I can make a man out of you
'Cause I'm a woman! W-O-M-A-N, I'll say it again
'Cause I'm a woman! W-O-M-A-N, and that's all.
