APRIL 21

Juggling is coming right along.  I found using weighted balls or even bean bags works better as it gives me something to grab on to easier than a bouncy ball.  I thought about using balloons to give myself as much time as possible but haven't done that yet.  I am sure I will have conquered the juggling assignment before my next challenge.  In the meantime, the dreaded ballet recital is in just a few weeks...ugh.  I have not and will not invite anyone I know as I just want to put a mask over my head  and get this over with.   Practicing at home is easy, but once we get together and that music starts, it's a whole new ballgame.  Still begging to be the tree but drill sergeant Isabelle is not going for it.  Even though I listened to the Spanish cds in February, our Spanish class has finally begun!  Senor Arnoldo would show us a picture of something and ask us what the Spanish word was for the object in the picture.  We would all answer in English...haha.  Homework assignment to write a word(s) for every letter in the alphabet.  (the Spanish alphabet)   I already started on my list.  Having a little trouble though finding a word beginning with the letter..... ñ.    (Pronounced ny...fyi)

APRIL 15

So it's been a while since my April post.  April has proven to be a very busy month indeed.  Still glad to be over the guitar and on to my juggling.  I have been practicing with two balls to start.  It was advised to do it that way and that's the way I'm doing it.  It's amazing how hard it is to even juggle two balls!  I'm getting the hang of it and really want to be comfortable with the two balls before I move on to three.  I'm using weighted balls so when I drop them I'm not spending all my time chasing them. I(learned that the hard way)   I think I'll get this.  It's only mid-Apri,l so I'm thinking if I'm juggling with three balls by next week, that will be good.  Staying the course!!

APRIL 2

Thank goodness March is over because I couldn't take that guitar anymore!  April...well, I went to my friend's sons circus show a few days ago and he inspired me!  No, I'm not joining the circus, but I have decided for April, I want to learn how to juggle!!  I have good hand/eye coordination (in my mind anyway) and I have always wanted to know how to juggle, so now is the time!  Who knows, if I get good enough, maybe the circus isn't out of the question......juggling 101...here I come!
