Be My Valentine

Sigh. Gary and I enjoyed a lovely Valentine's dinner and dance at the Indiana Downs, sponsored by the Shelby County Players. We like going to dances for a good cause, and since we used to live in Shelbyville, IN., and we have family members who act, this was all the more sweeter.

Who knew such an elegant affair could take place at a casino? Of course, you had to walk through the dinging and all the smoke to get there, but it was worth it.

Neat Stuff: Under Armour Shoe Bag

As a dancing couple we tend to lump our dance stuff together for the trip to the ballroom. It makes travelling easier, there's only one bag to lug around, one bag to watch over, and one to pack up before heading home. Sometimes, though, it's nice to have your own space and when it comes to bags that means something small enough to carry around easily, but large enough to contain your shoes and the little things you need (for me that means hankerchiefs, a fan, a brush, some bandages, and a bottle of motrin).

Under Armour to the rescue! The large PTH bag is designed for atheletics, so it's big enough to accomodate shoes and sundaries while still being portable. Plus it has that manly vibe that says you recognize dancing is a sport as much as an art, in case you worry about that kind of thing!
