Tonight is a special Zumba night. My sister Miranda and her girls are joining my class for the Mom and Me Zumba I teach at the rec centre. My daughters Mist and Tabs will be there too. Pip is at a play date at a friends house.
 I taught my first Zumba nooner today at UBC. I like teaching adults at the Uni–may decide to be a prof after all…I had about ten UBC staff members and a student attend. Zumba is always a shock to one’s system the first time. No one is prepared for all of the hip circles and booty shakes. But once you’ve mastered them, they are addictive. My legs are feeling the effect of 5 and 4 class days now. Yep, they are a wee bit tired and sore as I type this. But I am off to teach in 1/2 h.
I made supper and it is simmering on the stove until I return from class. I made Moroccan chicken with rice. It should be delicious. I love Moroccan food. It has butternut squash, raisins and brown basmati rice in the recipe. I used fresh garlic and ginger and turmeric I purchased on a tour of a spice plantation in Malaysia the summer before last.
Tomorrow is Tabs’ birthday party: pool party/pizza party/movie out/sleepover party. Have been invited to a friend’s party as well that night–hope I can fit in both as I love a party!
