Just Dance

Every Tuesday night you'll find me dancing the evening away at hip-hop class with some of my good friends. We laugh, we dance, and we repeat that for an hour.

We've been working on a dance that we'll be performing in June...ah I get butterflies thinking about performing in front of others, but I need to just feel the beat and forget about the rest.

Hit me with your best shot.

Last night I got hit on with this line:

"Mmmm...you're so sexy your like butter and I'm the wonder bread. I want to spread you all over."

My response:

"Hmmmm....I don't like wonder bread, but thanks."

I gotta give him credit for trying--plus it gave me a good laugh, but seriously what a nasty pick-up line!

5k

April showers...oh wait in Utah that means snow. But nonetheless we Santamaria women went out and ran a 5k at Wheeler Farms on Saturday morning. It was a good time all around and any excuse to spend time with these lovely ladies is always a pleasure.

I am

Invictus

Out of the night that covers me,

Black as the Pit from pole to pole,

I thank whatever gods may be,

For my unconquerable soul.

In the fell clutch of circumstance

I have not winced nor cried aloud.

Under the bludgeonings of chance

My head is bloody, but unbowed.

Beyond this place of wrath and tears

Looms but the Horror of the shade,

And yet the menace of the years

Finds, and shall find, me unafraid.

It matters not how straight the gate,

How charged with punishments the scroll.

I am the master of my fate:

I am the captain of my soul.

~William Ernest Henley~

A trip to India or it seemed like it.

Saturday my roomie and friend coaxed me into going to the Hare Krishna colors festival.

If you're from the area, you surely know about it or have seen the zombie like people walking around town every year with all their brightly colored and chalk infested clothing and hair.

I have honestly never had a desire to go, not sure why, but perhaps the idea of just getting that chalky didn't sound appealing or that it seemed like the young college scene was another turn off.

Well a few of us friends went and we were all first timers at this festival. It was fun to see everyone covered in bright colors, throw chalk at one another and to listen to the interesting music played.

I will say it was fun, but it was a one time event for me--showering twice in a row to get chalk out of my hair is where I draw the line.

Coincidentally on Sunday my family was having a bit of an Indian feast, my brother wanted to try and make some delicious chicken tikka masala. It was so so good. We feasted on tikka masala, homemade naan and mango lassi's.

I was stuffed happy.

Oh and I made the samoa bars--yep amazing as well.

It was a fun weekend that truly felt themed, but was in no way planned that way.

La Ley

I was out with a friend the other night and while driving he put in La Ley{One of the best Chilean rock bands}. Now I used to listen to La Ley way back in the day and loved them. So it brought back all these grand memories and now it's back on the pod, where it belongs. Take a listen here.
