When I started out this month, I thought I had it all planned. Neither one of those plans came to fruition. Not to worry. I was reflecting on this month and I did do several new things:
1) Went to a fish fry
2) Went to a hip hop concert
3) Went salsa dancing and subsequently signed up for dance lessons!!!
First, the fish fry was completely and wonderfully awesome. St. Pius V had a very festive atmosphere. It was completely packed. When I finally arrived, the band was setting up. They had sheets of lyrics on the table. The best part of the evening was singing a song ABOUT the fish fry. My group of friends were completely into it, so much in fact the priest came up to us after and thanked us for participating in the singing.
Second, the concert. A young man who sings with the worship band at my church released a cd in December. This month he gave a concert promoting that cd at The Journey. J.R. was engaging and had very thoughtful lyrics. While that type of music is not the first genre to which I would gravitate, I had fun dancing.
Which brings me to the third new thing--salsa dancing. My friend, Tim, organized an outing at a local dance studio called Flavor, located in The Loop. I actually have attempted salsa dancing before, so this is not truly a "new" thing. I was, however, less inhibited and enjoyed myself so much that I signed up for 5 weeks of salsa lessons.
I must apologize. I really did have pics from my tattoo experience. I thought I had transfered them from my camera to the computer--I was wrong. I had already erased them from my camera. That will teach me to double check!!!
I already have a new thing for March, a cooking class. Stay tuned.
