It don't mean a thing..

If it aint got that swing.

I was just getting my groove on to some Mercy Me and I thought of my want for this week’s I Want It Wednesday.

I want, have always wanted, to take Swing Dance lessons!! Does anyone remember the movie Shag? (Debs - in the Carolinas, where I’m from, the word Shag refers to a certain kind of dancing much like Swing dancing) Or how about Swing Kids?! I want to be able to dance like that! And my good ole Carolina boy husband ought to be able to learn that. He can get a little groovy in the kitchen (I’m still talking about dancing, people) when the Curious George soundtrack is on!

When we were at our very first official Ball (not counting the ROTC balls we went to in college) there was a Major and his wife who had taken Ballroom dancing. They were so elegant…and we were so jealous. After all, we don’t do the kind of dancing that is popular now - and which I think is incredibly inappropriate in a ballgown anyway. (actually - it’s always inappropriate) Though I have been known to do the Electric Slide… :razz:

So. That’s what I want. I want to get in great shape and take dance lessons!! And I don’t need to dance with a star - my manly man Marine is the perfect partner! (well, other than the 10 inch height difference :lol: )

So…what do you want?!! Dream big…or should I say small?

  1. Blest, I’m assuming that your husband is taller than you since elsewhere you’ve been described as petite, otherwise he must be tiny! ;-)

    I want, hmmmm, more sleep is the first thing that comes to mind. I want to be at a point that I feel happy about the way I look :-)

  4. Blest…how could you just begin the song???
    It makes no difference if it’s sweet or hot…Just give that rhythm everything you got.
