sakon76Last night, Wonderful Husband and I went to our first dance class that was being offered through our local community college. This morning, we dropped it. Yes, it was that bad. Despite having a total of seven students and two hours of class time, the instructor couldn't or wouldn't bother to teach at differing levels of experience, nor to dance with her students herself despite the class being one female shy of parity, and in that two hours she taught a grand total of three steps. She used incorrect and contradictory terminology, lost count of the beats multiple times, and was in general a horrible experience. She may or may not be a good dancer herself, but she was definitely an abysmal teacher. So we're going back to the city classes offered Tuesday nights where we used to live, ~20 miles away, and Amy Register, who is a superb teacher. And hopefully the college will give us back most of our registration fees.
Today was also the city of Anaheim's compost giveaway, which was nice in that they filled up your containers for you and put them back into the back of your truck or SUV, and also in that they didn't even bother to check ID for residency. This is making me consider the city of Fullerton compost giveaway in a month's time, which I believe is hosted by the same disposal company.... O:)
There was going to a couple estate sales (me: Are these pumpkins on this scarf? *turns right-side up* No, they're ladies in 1950s ballgowns! *snag* Also got a 1958 book on hostessing and table setting and the like. All for $1.50.) and whacking back overgrown stuff in the garden and discovering my Yukon Gold and All Blue potatoes had decided to chit themselves through the plastic mesh sacks they were in. ^_^;; Wonderful Husband made more progress on our gate replacement, and we measured out the remaining three garden beds to be built. Today we took surplus materials back to Ganahl Lumber and tomorrow we will take other surplus materials back to Lowe's and get the boards to build the remaining beds sometime in the next month.
