Time To Dance

Mar 26, 2015 by winjaw

There has been a tad more moaning and groaning around nuestra casa lately.

Scratch that, there’s been a lot more moaning and groaning around the abode. The reason for this is because The Little Black Dress is on an exercise kick.

This is not to say The Dress is not in perfect shape (yes, going for brownie points here). Rather, she’s exercising to be ready for a rather big upcoming and, I will say, quite athletic contest.

It’s not the exercising that’s causing the moans and groans. And it’s not the exercising causing the litany of bruises, welts, contusions, swelling, discolorations and let’s just call it what it is, big-time boo-boos.

I am not to blame. Haven’t laid a finger on her, well at least not in anyway that would cause the above. I am innocent. But I know the guilty party.

And that would be Paulo Manso de Sousa. Paulo, as in founder and artistic director of Southern Arc Dance studio. That Paulo.

Unfortunately, I have been forbidden to discuss just how said welts/marks have appeared pretty much all over the LBD’s body. Professional secrets that will be unveiled eventually.

But I can tell you why.

Paulo and The Dress are teaming up for the upcoming Dancing with the Stars contest to benefit the Community Welcome House, the county’s only shelter for abused women.

She has graciously agreed to represent The Newnan Times-Herald. Knowing her, this will result in my forking over several gift cards from various shoe stores in appreciation. Some people make it to the gold level; she’s at like the titanium or tritium level at some of those establishments.

The nursing mothers are also prohibited to wholesale cialis pills continue reading over here be involved in the process together.

Between 85 cheapest viagra in uk and 90 percent of all kidney disease is caused by an inappropriate immune response. The medicine robertrobb.com viagra price is easily available at authorized medical store. The Dress and Paulo are, to borrow the phrase, in it to win it. Based on all the time they’ve practiced, I guessing they’ve danced more together than the LBD and I have in 20 plus years of marriage.

Wouldn’t be the first time I’m been upstaged like that. We spent our honeymoon in Hawaii. I was big into scuba diving at the time and wanted her to get certified. Let’s just say she did it for me, although it was not her favorite sport. She probably held the instructor’s hand more than mine.

The big event, not the honeymoon, rather the dance competition, is about three weeks away. It’s getting rather intense and The Dress has discovered muscles and joints she didn’t know she had. She knows she has them now because they’ve never hurt so much before. Basically, she didn’t even know some of those joints/muscles existed.

While I obviously have a favorite in this contest, there are 10 other couples who have graciously agreed to submit themselves to similar aches and pains.

It will be a great event helping an even greater cause – providing financial support for the Community Welcome House.

Even if you can’t attend the event, you can still vote – and support the Welcome House – by visiting their website. Vote as often as you like. Each vote is a dollar and goes to the shelter.

The big event is April 14 at 7 p.m. at the Centre for Performing and Visual Arts on Lower Fayetteville Road. For more information, and to buy/vote, please check out this link: http://www.communitywelcomehouse.org/dancing/

And again, please vote.

Until next time.
