What can I say? I love to read. That's why I am here, right?

Along with reading, I love to belly dance. Belly dance is a passion of mine.

    Hey Vonnie, I finally got the gift card!! :-D

    I promised Dave I wouldn't go too insane with buying books; instead, I'm going to buy one hardcover book a month, starting with the month we get married. I plan on using this gift card for exactly that purpose.

    So thank you very much!

    Hey sorry. I hadn't been on Shelfari in weeks due to all the wedding planning!

    I don't think I did receive your gift card. I've looked but I can't seem to find it in my e-mail. Either it's not working or I accidently deleted it (I hope not!)

    Oh, Vonnie! I so appreciate your hard work on the challenges, and you never get a thing besides satisfaction. I am sorry for the delay, but I just kept buying little chachkas, thinking "I'll mail tomorrow." There is something for all of the sides of Vonnie in that box. Enjoy!!

    hi Vonnie! Did you ever send the gift card from the Challenge? I was hoping to use it to buy a book or two.

    Hi Vonnie! I like the very seductive lady avatar. I've been quite absent from shelfari but trying to change that so I wanted to say hello!

    spirolim says

    Hey Vonnie, Shelfari didn't tell me that I had any new notes, so I didn't see your post.

    Thanks for your compliments on the journal entries! I'm not a good writer so it means a lot.

    And to answer your question... yep! I am a dance teacher. I teach ballroom dancing at my mom's dance studio, but I also guest teach at elementary schools during their gym classes as a part of a city arts program. I teach the kids fun line dances that my family invented; the kids really enjoy it!

    You're a teacher too, right? Are you in a school?

    hey Vonnie, I'm working on the mini-challenge right now, but I wasn't sure if you want me to post it on my thread or if I should send it to you via e-mail. Which one should I do?

    We should probably both just put out heads between our legs and kiss our butts goodbye, regardless of where we lived, if this happens! haha

    My higher rate of survival would more than likely come from my reserves of blubber. It would keep me warm, feed me, and sustain me while all of the skinny women of the world came after my big fat butt with forks. haha!
