Dance like no one is watching

I can still dance even when carrying a bulging belly. If one day I can't dance anymore, just let me end myself.

I took a Zumba class the other day and got reminded how much I miss dancing - or how I miss the days when I went to school full-time, taught 20 hours a week, plus office hours, did research and wrote papers any time I got, worked at restaurants on weekends, and still managed to go out clubbing with friends at weekend nights. I miss the late night, I miss the loud music, I miss the dim light that makes everyone good looking, I miss the flirtatious looks that people used to give me, I also miss dancing all night soaking in my own sweat.

Sound gross? No, that's the best feeling ever when you stop caring about being gross; when a gentle waving of hair would splash out all the sweat on you; when you are dancing like no one is watching.

Maybe I have been lazy for a while, or maybe I grew out of the single life phase. But I can never quit dancing, like going out in a club dancing.

I don't do it anymore because no one asks me to go out nowadays. Being married and being pregnant do not make me a good going out buddy. I tell my friends that I have a black dress that covers my belly very well that I could wear when I go out, and I promise I won't embarrass them.

I pulled that dress out from an unpacked suitcase and it's now sitting there and ready to go anytime. Oh, and that pair of heels to go with...

You might think I sound desperate. But let me tell you, I have a picture of how my life will be in 4 months (and thanks to my loving husband who keeps reminding me), and it's not pretty (granted I puzzled together this picture based on others experiences but still...). So while I can still do it, I should really do it, even though nothing has ever stopped me before.

So if you are going out, let me know. I am mostly free on weekends if I don't work. Please make sure there is good music and good crowd. When making plans with me, please make sure the night starts at around 7 or 8pm, in that case I can hang whole night (until 1am). I won't be able to "get drressed and go out" after 10pm since I will be in bed if I am not already out.

For those of you who read, please spread the words :)
