Yes and no.
We miraculously found a house that met the vast majority of their ridiculous requirements, and they turned it down.  They are under contract (a very sketchy contract) for a different house that is on a lake, but is not what they SAY they are looking for otherwise.  The inspection came back iffy and they're now trying to get out of it, but the contract was so "red flag" that they can only get out of it under certain conditions.  I don't think the conditions were met to back out, so we'll see.  They might get stuck with this.

I'm so over it.  My IL's don't know what they want, haven't been honest about what they want, and are making me nuts.

Eh, she unfriended me and one of my other friends who was supporting me.  I blocked her on my personal account, but I can't block her on my business page (how stupid is that?!).  I checked her shop and her stuff looks like crap next to mine. *evil finger tent*

Regularly:Waltz, tango, foxtrot, cha cha, rhumba, swing, quickstep. 
Once in a while: bolero, Viennese Waltz, jive.
With another partner I did salsa and samba, and rarely paso doble.
Mambo was just a train wreck, haha.

We danced both latin and American style, although our coach was America style so that was our forte.
Edit: I wish we still danced for fun.  That shit is expensive to do.

I could PM you if you want.  I don't want to bring traffic to her site by putting it out on a board
She used to do all hairbows and beauty competition dresses, and they were really quite pretty!  I guess she branched out.

[origamimommy]

Yes pm me! I wouldn't expect you to put her on blast her; just curious.

[origamimommy]

BUUUUUT, you know how big a fan I am of yours, so don't worry about me choosing cheap over quality! You are my fave!

[somethingcleverer]

Do you like watching Dancing with the Stars? How did you get into dancing?

[britbratjf]

I had no idea you danced! How fun! I love watching those ballroom dances.

Oh yes!  Thats how DH & I met.  We competed for like...3-4 yrs together and a couple of years with other partners before we met.

I do not watch it.  I think I watched it season 1 or 2, but the way they judge wasn't "actual" judging so I couldn't bring myself to watch.  Its what they call "flash 'n trash" meaning lots of stuff that looks pretty with shitty technique.

I'm sure if I wasn't such an asshole and just appreciated it for what it was, I'd have liked it more.

How did I get into dancing?  I took jazz as a young child and always kept a toe in it, so to speak.  My first few days at college I saw a poster advertising a ballroom dance club, and agreed to go with a guy friend who wanted to go to meet girls but didn't want to go alone. HAHA!

Turned out, I was pretty good and was willing to dedicate a lot of time to it.  Also, it was great exercise.  I was in the best shape of my life because of it.

If you had unlimited time/yarn, what would you make, just because you wanted to?

[aimeefarrahfowler]

What's your favorite yarn? lol

I had no idea you danced. Look at your teeny tiny waist!

Another hippie vest for sure.  Stevie Nicks ftw!

I'd like to make a whole bunch of playsets (like BBQ-type foods, breakfast foods, etc) and donate those to a kids shelter.

I'd also make a scarf a day and save them.  I'd tie them around trees in the park in the winter so homeless people could take them if they needed to.

I would also probably make 500 bags because I love totes.  I am officially a bag lady.

Favorite yarn?!  Arrgh I don't know!  I love cotton yarn, Lily is pretty great. There's a store a few towns over that sells like, corn yarn and alpaca yarn.  I like that because I feel like I'm somehow recycling.  Natural fibers are great.

YUP I used to have a tiny waist!  USED TO.  Thanks, birth.

I've done donations every year.  People need that stuff more than I do, and a skein of yarn + a few hours is a very low investment for such an important return, kwim?
