a coffee table and the waltz

This has been another stressful week. But, that's old news. Let me tell you about my evening last night. First, my husband picked up our brand new coffee table. Why did we get a brand new coffee table you might ask? Well, the answer is simple. We got a new coffee table because our old one was shattered one night when my husband took a spill right on top of it. You see, I was sitting on the couch.. and my husband was approaching me.. I gave him a push (or was it a kick?) and back he tumbled... right on top of the glass coffee table. The legs gave out... and the glass shattered to tiny bits. My husband was fine though.. just surprised, I'd imagine.

Now before you go thinking that I have some kind of super human strength, I have to tell you that I really didn't even push him very hard. He just lost his balance. (Even he will admit to that part of the story) And thus, we now have a brand new coffee table.

The second part of my evening last night involved learning and then coreographing a WALTZ with my husband. It's a good thing that he knows how to dance; because, I sure don't! This quarter's Fine Arts Performance calls for a waltz, and if it wasn't for my husband, I would be hopelessly ignorant about how to teach my students to waltz. It's actually pretty easy, when you learn it (I learned the most simple version, I'm sure). But, it was kind of fun waltzing around the living room with my husband last night.

I wouldn't mind taking some dance lessons with him now that I think about it. I think we'd be pretty good! :)
