I found out last nite that I really, really like belly dancing with a veil. She taught us 4 simple veil moves: a high and low “teardrop”, the “Roman cape,” “butterfly wings” and “around the world.” I like the “around the world” because it’s a two-handed swirl of a 3-yard veil around the body. The veil Vanessa got me and refused to let me reimburse her for is of a black chiffon-like fabric with black sequin detailing around the trims and around patterned crocheted hearts. Very cute. We also found out, much to our disappointment, that yesterday was the last belly dancing class for the “semester.” “Then why only start the veilwork today?” I said, bummed. Vanessa said it must be to tantalize us into signing up again next “semester.”

Another bummer yesterday was what happened to Vanessa after belly dancing last nite. She was driving home and was hit by another car. The guy who hit her was drunk, and altho they both got out of their vehicles, he refused to exchange information with her after telling her he is not insured and he does not have a driver’s license. And then he took off! I was so pissed when I heard her voice mail. She’s okay, but how many reasons does this guy have to NOT be on the road?! She did call the cops, tho, and apparently she just followed the guy to his house which was a block and a half away. Genius drunk people.
