Old garments cast aside

[primsong]

Back in the 50s my church apparently went through a legalistic phase, the 'no smoking, no dancing, no makeup' kind of thing and of all of that only a lingering whiff of 'no dancing' was left by the time we came around to it.   For the past 20 years every time dancing came around (even the chicken dance at a party) there were always a few older people who had that 'I feel like I should feel guilty for dancing, but I don't, but what if there's an even OLDER person here who still thinks it is wrong?' reaction. 

Well, we have officially jumped the shark on that topic now - with the approval of my teaching bellydance to the ladies this coming January.  Talk about casting aside the old garment with flair!  Haha!  It's on a freewill donation basis to fund-raise for building updates, I'm quite curious to see how many actually sign up.  :-D  I'm actually quite astonished that they let it go through.

Hm - while watering plants outside this morning something stung my foot and now my little toe looks like a sausage... little toes are strange enough as it is, hopefully won't last long.

That is truly wonderful, about the belly-dance class.

As for the sting, my guess would be a little tiny scorpion. I got nailed on the finger by one as a kid at camp: my bed was a thin mattress on the cabin floor, and I was required to make it every morning, which meant tucking the sheets neatly underneath. You can see where this is going. It hurt, but the pain and swelling didn't really last all that long.

The only thing I've ever been stung after stepping on it barefoot, was a spider wasp. And I surmise that's not what got you because you're not saying THIS IS THE WORST STING I EVER HAD IN MY LIFE SEND HELP.

bellydancing for church ladies sounds like a fun afternoon if you ask me XD
