Let Me Tell You About White Girls Dancing

I told you about my love for Zumba, right? Well, since Igwe and I moved, I have not actually attended that Zumba class because it's about 50 minutes away from where we lived. Plus, it's actually expensive to take Zumba classes. It's $5 per class, which sounds very affordable. But when you do it about three times a week like I did, it quickly adds up to about $60 a month, which I would ordinarily never pay for gym membership. Anyway, I joined LA Fitness primarily because they offer Zumba Read More

I Met Gamella The Python – Literally

I went to Walmart yesterday to buy some yogurt and oranges, and while I was walking back to my car, I spotted two guys who were carrying what looked like a snake. Sure enough, it was a damn snake.

I have been going to this Pakistani mechanic for some years now. The actual mechanic who does my car is an older man, and he's the one who owns the garage shop. His nephew who also works there with him has the hots for me, and it's the funniest, strangest kind of hots. Every time I come, he stares at me. And stares at me. And stares at me. And the entire time he's staring, he has the biggest smile on his face. He always asks how I'm doing, tells me over and over that he works so hard that he Read More

12 Lessons I’ve Learned From Zumba

I attended weekly Zumba classes for a few months last year. I went about two to three times a week, and it was really, really fun. Hadn't ever maintained any physical activity for that long. My Zumba instructor - Consuelo - is from Cuba, and I think she's so pretty. I've never seen anyone smile so broadly and look so happy while performing such intense physical activity. And she has a cute accent to go along with it. I have learned a few lessons from my Zumba class, and I thought to share Read More
