In and Out

I had a lovely lie in till 9am today- bliss! I had dancing at 12, and the lesson was really bad. I actually thought I danced better, considering some of the routines are very fiddly, but my teacher thought otherwise. When I dared suggest it's because I don't really know the choreography, I thought she was going to explode she was so mad! It doesn't matter that we've been learning these for months, for some people, the figures are difficult, the names confusing, and the execution complicated! We kind of agree to disagree- ie, I stand there just saying "ok" while getting my ass kicked! There is no point in explaining. If I do, then I'm making excuses. I can't win! I do recall at one point her saying "are you deliberately trying to be stubborn today?"! NO!!! Generally I am quite thick skinned and I can take it-I know it's frustrating for her when I don't improve and she just wants me to do my best. I hope I can dance my best on the day.

But I also felt it was just one more example of me not being strong enough to stand my ground and defend myself (see Friday's blip). When did I become such a wuss??! I think it's because I try to see the bigger picture and don't like to rock the boat.

Today's blip is my quick foray into M & S where I was trying to pick out the perfect Mother's Day Card. I was about to write my alternative suggestion but then remembered that my mum sometimes reads my blips!
