Taking Responsibility for My Success

Tuesday, April 21st 2009

We went to a local bar, not because it's a bar; okay, maybe for a couple of the girls because its a bar, but more for the fact they have a really good line dancing band. I'm not a drinker, I go for the dancing. My husband's not into dancing, so line dancing works for both of us.
