This is a day late because I've been dancing for the past three days, but here's some Irish dance facts for St. Patrick's Day

-There are six types of Irish dance; Reel, Hornpipe, Slip Jig, Treble, Light Jig, and Single Jig. These are danced in either hard or soft shoe depending on the dance and can be done single or as ceili (in a group)

-Women used to only be allowed to dance the slip jig, which is named that way because ladies used to raise their skirts just enough to 'slip' across the dance floor. Now both men and women dance all the dances.

-Hornpipe used to be danced primarily by sailors and is called this because the music was typically played on a ram's horn pipe.

-Hardshoes were created when nails used to be put in the heels and toes of boots to keep them resistant to the cobblestones. They made a good sound so an entire form of dancing was created around how fun the nails against the ground sounded.

-Most Irish dances are done with arms straight down by the sides because Irish dancing used to be illegal. Thus, all dancing was done with feet only so the soldiers walking by on the street glancing in through the windows couldn't tell the Irish were dancing

it's wild to me how many americans will misidentify tap dance as irish step. like tap is distinctly american. no 2 ways about it. and still your first instinct is irish step? how

Took Grace to her last private Irish Step dance lesson of the summer today. Did some writing in one of my new notebooks while waiting for her. After coming home, made test-run smoothies for both girls to make sure they like them for school breakfasts. Upon approval, put together individual smoothie freezer packs for them for the week--all they need to do is dump them in the immersion blender cup, add juice (and yogurt, in Joy's case), and blend. Figured out the last of the needed school clothes and made plans to go shopping Friday afternoon and Saturday (amusingly enough, the biggest priority is hiking shoes, black ballet shoes for Grace (I found out she'd spent all of last year's dance class dancing in SOCK FEET because A) the step dance shoes were a nuisance to lace, and B) all the other girls danced in their sock feet. I informed her that since I prefer her NOT to break an ankle, she's wearing black ballet shoes this year, and if anyone gives her grief for it she can tell them her mother is a fusspot), and a new ballet leotard for Joy since I accidentally ran hers through the dryer at the end of the season last year and now all the elastic bits on the lace are sticking out all over the place--the actual "clothes for school" are somewhat negligible this year).

We did school supply shopping on Tuesday, and the kids have their new backpacks all loaded and ready. Figured out school lunches, and all the prep work for those will be done Sunday afternoon.

Something in the air has shifted, and even though it is still hot out, it is starting to feel like fall.

We are, somehow, unbelievably, just about ready for the school year to begin.

(Oh yeah, and my textbooks for my three classes--Readers' Advisory, Intro to Reference Services and Materials, and Cataloguing and Technical Processes--arrived, and I was able to look at each class's syllabus and am probably one of the few people in the world to say, "Oh boy, I get to finally learn more about MARC standards!" with 100% genuine enthusiasm. My ILS classes thus far have been exercises in patience, but I suspect I'm finally getting into the good stuff.)
