DANCE

Well I have finished up my evaluations for Revolution. For those of you who do not know, I work three jobs. Yes, three.... I am what they call a work-a-holic. I work from anywhere from 12-14 hours a day. Anyway back to the evals. I have to do them for each dancer in my classes. Going back on the year, listing what they can improve on and also what they are good at. They take a while, but I have finally finished them!!! I was up all night doing them, trying to frantically get them done. YEAH!!!
"So You Think You Can Dance" was on last night as well. It was really good. I am really beating myself up for not auditioning this year....but next year, next year I will! If you don't watch it, you should try to catch one show. There is one airing tonight at 8pm-9pm. After "Are you Smarter Than a 5th Grader." I've only seen that show a few times, but it was pretty good!
I am happy it is almost the weekend. This is the 2nd weekend, in a row, that I have not had to work. You see, with dance we have competitions that go on Fridays and Saturdays. They are long, and sometimes will go until midnight both nights. Its quite tiring, but thats what I get for being a dance instructor.

Thats all for now!

YESTERDAY

Well yesterday was a very productive, interesting, tiring, and fun day. I taught dance classes all morning, afternoon and night. The day started out with two and three year olds, and OH BOY!!!! I really don't know how a teacher can do it every day. Only 30 minutes each, but it is extremly hard to keep their focus for that long! The day progressed with older girls each class. My favorite class would have to be the four and five year olds. They are fun!
I have a new niece!!!! 10 lbs 2 oz. Yes she is a chunk! I will post a picture of her soon.
No other new news....Still working a lot and can't wait for my short, but "finally" break!!!

Bye!

VACATION

And I am back once again! I need a vacation really really bad......oh yes, I am going on one next week. To beautiful San Francisco. I love that place! There are lots of great things & person(s) there! ahh....this summer, for me, will be all about vacationing. I need to get out and explore the outside a little. I've already pretty much booked the month of July with a few different explorations, and August booked too! Then I will be going back to dance full force and more busy than ever. This new dance year, I have more classes and solos. I love it and hate it at the same time. and by January, I'm already burned out.....ahhh life of a dancer! I just really want to get the vacationing bug out of me this summer, plus I like to take dance classes wherever I go, so I can expand on my learning and choreography.
Today after work, yes I am working, I will be heading off to a BBQ. And I LOVE BBQ's. Everyone knows that about me! BBQ, Drinks, and the Basketball Game.....Yep sports people....

Happy Memorial Day!

TAXES

Well I finally got my taxes done today. Yes, I know that it is almost June. I've been so busy with dance, that I had to get an extension. This year I only owe $575!!!! And I get a whole $5.00 back from the state HOO-RAY. I am a rich lady now, Fella's, don't even think about me being your sugar mama! I dont' know what I am going to spend all that money on...but I'm sure I'll find a good way to spend it. You must be wondering why I am happy about owing $575...Well last year, I paid the rotten government $2500. So I'm down to $575 this year, and HEY!, maybe next year I'll actually get some money back. Making progress.....oh yeah!
So I'm trying to figure out how to post pictures on my Blog....Help!!! Anyone. I downloaded Picasa and now I'm a dum dum!


Well I'm going to keep working on the picture nonsense!

Check ya later!

I KNOW I can dance!!!!

Did you get to see "So You Think You Can Dance?"
www.fox.com/dance/
So good! While watching, I was getting angry that I didn't audition, but I will just have to calm down until next year. Did you see that "Sex" is back? He is so rad and untalented, and bless his mother's heart for supporting and standing up for him! Way to keep going Sex! Some pretty amazing dancers last night, and some not so amazing. Possibly again this year, I will see some dancers that I know. I hope so, I'll be cheering for them! For all of you, who don't know how crazy I am about this show......Picture this.....Me, glued to the television, waiting for the phone lines to open. One phone in my right hand, one phone in my left hand. A number already set into both phones, ready for me to just push send. Phone lines open....and....BAM!!!!! Here I go, I keep dialing on two phones, probably over 100 times. Right phone, Left Phone, Right, Left..... Don't bother me while I'm dialing.....The year that Nick and Melody competed, I was voting for over and hour and half....guess how NOT inexpensive my phone bill was.....Alright, I will stop typing now.....Make sure to catch the show next Wednesday!!!

IKEA

Hey Everyone!

I have been "IKEA De-Virginized!" And it was SOOOO good! I love the IKEA. Everyone should experience it at least once. I spent an hour and half in there, and still didnt' look at everything. Its my new favorite store. I bought a wine rack, holds 24 bottles, and you know how much it was.......$29.99!!! How fantastical is that?! I say, Quite! Anyway try to get to an IKEA store today. http://www.ikea.com/ Check it out, its FABULOUS. My head is spinning....I'm a bit flustered, so I must say good bye now!

Goodbye !

CREAM PUFFS

http://beardpapas.com/

Do you enjoy cream puffs? These are the best I've ever had! They are quite large and Fat Free......HA! just kidding. They're way to good to be good for you. So I know I shouldn't ever eat these (trying to keep a dancer's figure), But they are just way to delicious to pass up, you HAVE to try one. And then basically starve yourself for the next week ha ha!
Check out how good they look. They taste even better, and it was hard to stop at just one! They are not in this state, but look up the locations. I ate TWO....ok really just one and a half. One was chocolate, and the other was pumpkin which was shared with an incredible person! I've been craving since then.....hope to have another one soon.
HAPPY EATING!!!!

AND SO IT BEGINS...

I am no longer a Blogger Virgin....Phew! Although it will take a few times until I get really good, I will be a pro in no time!!!!
The dance year is almost over! HOO-RAY!!!! My last competition was last Saturday May 19th. My studio did very well. Lots of 1st place and High point trophies. Now only the June recitals, and then FINISHED.....ok only finished for a week, then right back to the grind. But it will be nice to finally have a small break. My brain is pretty fried.
Lets see....what else can I say?.... Nothing to crazy going on in my life. I am heading out to beautiful San Francisco in a couple weeks, and then to Minnesota in July. Yep Minnesota..... Reasoning you ask.... take a guess!
Just so you all know, IKEA opens up tomorrow, Wednesday May 23rd. There are people already camped out at the front doors. IKEA will be giving away a chair to the first 100 peeps.
And the most exciting news.......drum roll please........So You Think You Can Dance starts on Thursday May 24th 7pm. And to all of you who are asking me why I didn't audition, I was going to audition, but I had to be a judge at a competition. But no worries, I have already set my schedule to audition next year. So everyone giving me grief....you better be voting for your one and only.....ME!!!!
