WOWZERS!

Ok Guess its time to update.
lets see...
It's been a great summer so far. Dance is starting up again....WHY oh WHY....my life is crazy busy. My boss had twins. We hired new amazing teachers. I've been doing Zumba to get my abs and butt sexy for sonoma. I am going to Sonoma with my girlfriends, at the end of this month. We'll be doing a lot of wine tours.
I just woke up from a dream, and my mom was in it. also in my dream my dog was humping my leg and i did not have the strength to get him off. You know those dreams where you want to run or scream but you can't, well it was kind of like that, only I couldn't get my humping dog off my leg. By the way, i got my dog in february, he is a japanese chin and he is about the cutest thing ever. He weighs 3lbs so far and it makes me sad because he is so independent. I named him Ramses (you know, like the ten commandments)
I'm going to be a hair model on monday. Not so sure what that intels. But I havee to look nice.
I've taken on the duties of cleaning the studio. It is disgusting....i don't think it was cleaned properly. (and jessica or corie, if you are reading this, sorry....but its still pretty gross) I am going to paint my studio room a metallic grey because I think that would be really awesome.
WE finally got rid of the ugly brown and pink decor in the office YAHOO!!!!
My dancers are so beautiful, I love them so much and I love the parents too.
i still haven't taken down my christmas tree, but no need to now, since christmas is only 5 months away.
i guess that is it for now.....i'm sure i have more but gotta run to the studio to clean!

wow

Geez its been a while.....i'll post again soon!

TIME TO UPDATE

DON'T YOU THINK MY DANCERS ARE JUST SO BEAUTIFUL!!!!!
This past weekend was my last team dance competition and we went out with a BANG!!!!
It was truly an amazing weekend
Here's how we placed

SOLOS!
3 Queen solos
4 2nd place solos
4 1st place solos
1 3rd place solo
And our fabulous dancer Elizabeth (14 yrs) received High Point. For those of you who don't know what "high point' is, let me explain, out of 39 solo routines, from all different studios, Elizabeth had the HIGHEST points out of all, therefore getting the high point award, Quite an accomplishment!

TEAMS!
my boss had three dances.
Two placed first
and her little minis placed 3rd.
She also received the best choreography award out of 41 team routines

I had 12 dances
Eight placed 1st
two placed 2nd
One place 4th
and one placed 5th
one of my jazz dances received HIGH POINT AND BEST TECHNIQUE out of 73 team routines
Another one of my lyrical dances received HIGH POINT out of 37 team routines. (THERE WERE ONLY FOUR HIGH POINTS GIVEN OUT FOR THE ENTIRE DAY AND TWO OF MY DANCES RECEIVED HALF HA!)

And my pro team lyrical dance received JUDGES CHOICE - This particular dance was my 8-11 yrs old, they placed 2nd place only because they were penalized 3 points for being to good....??!! WHAT?! seriously...we followed the competition guidelines and put them in the appropriate category, but the judges thought they were to good....when do you ever get penalized for being to good.... so if they werent so good they would have taken 1st in their division.

Anyway we went out with a bang and we have one more SOLO competition this coming weekend so GOOD LUCK TO THE SOLOIST!

Dear Brodder

I will miss you so much. You were always there for me and I know how much you loved me. Being adopted with you was a great blessing in my life, and I am glad we were able to watch each other go through happiness, and tears, and major trials.
I'm going to miss you saying how fat my butt is. I'm going to miss watching you treat women with incredible respect. I'm going to miss the funny moments you brought into my life when my day was gloomy. I'm going to miss our little dinner dates. I'm going to miss the little brother/sister chats that we had, mostly I'm going to miss not seeing you tomorrow or the next day or in week. You made my life full and crazy and sad and awesome all at the same time.
Jason, you are an incredible brother and most importantly, an incredible person. I always thought you could accomplish anything. I wanted to be just like my big brother except in a girl version. You're my hero brother, you're my protector, you're my friend. I am so sad right now, I hope to feel your presence always.
I love you so much, I will never forget you and I will always make you so proud of me. I love you, miss you so much....

DANCE!

So I am in the middle of competition season. It has been a lot of work. Last week we had 15 team routines in which 9 placed first, 6 placed second and we had one high point award. This is where they put all the routines together and whichever dance has the highest points overall wins! we also had 15 Soloist. who all did well, 7 of them placed first and one placed high point! Also had comp this weekend. Instead of boring everyone with the details, my soloist did VERY well! Will have competition every weekend until the third week of May...sigh....long nights and early mornings!
I have included pictures of some of the costumes that I have Rhinestoned.... I do that

OK ITS BEEN A WHILE....

So I haven't been blogging for a bit....reason....well....I guess its the whole facebook addiction. But here I am blogging away now...well at least for these next 10 minutes.
lets see....whats happened since NY....oh yes...nothing much bleh!
Lots of dance, lots of stress, and a whole lot of coffee to help me thru the day ha ha ha ha!
Recently I've been DYING to have a dog. Not a big dog of course, but a toy dog. One I can put in my Louis Vuitton, I just miss my Baxter so much. For those of you that did not meet Baxter, he was a full bread Beagle, he never barked, but I could get him to howl. He had the BEST personality. When I moved into my new apartment, I didn't want to pay the ridiculous pet deposit and secondly there was no yard for Baxter to run around in. I felt that it would be totally unfair to him that he would have to be shut in never to run around except for the daily walks on a leash....so I made the very hard, sad decision to give him away to my boss.....Luckily I can see him whenever I want. He is still the same baxter and I miss him very much.....I could never replace Baxter, but I still want a dog....a toy dog....keep that in mind if any of you want ot give me suggestions of breeds. I like Maltipoos, papillions, Yorkies....small dogs perferrably with hair not fur, and ones that do not bark a lot.
On to the next adventure....lets see....
oh yes. one day after a LONG day at work, feet killing me, eyes droopy, knowing I was going to fix dinner....I walked in the door, and Chris, had dinner waiting for me, with fresh flowers on the table, a glass of yummy red wine and he even dressed handsomly. Now keep in mind Chris, bless his heart, does NOT cook...so this was a treat in its own. The meal was DELICIOUS!!!! Spaghetti, Garlic Bread and a lovely green salad. MMMMM I will forever remember that night.
next on the list...
Valentines Day
Chris took me to the ballet, Madame Butterfly. Can you believe that he actually thought I might not like that!!!! I thought that was pretty funny....of course I loved it....I'm always watching the technique and such. then we went to a fabulous dinner at Rino's. If you've never eaten there DO! it is delicous everything is fresh and they grow their own veggies and i even think they make their own pastas. VERY DELICIOUS!
Last but not least....I bought a new purse...I have an addiction to Dooney and Bourke......
I spend WAY to much money on that site. I need to go do D&B anonymous.

NEW YORK! NEW YORK!

Guess its time to write on the ol' blog again! nothing new has happened except I went on a teenie tiny vacation to NEW YORK CITY HELLLLOOOO! It was a lot of fun, I took Chris for his Christmas/Birthday. We did everything I mean everything! Here are just a few pics. If you want to see more, just go to my facebook. ALL my pictures are there!

Statue of Liberty

Grass Gorilla @ Tavern on the Green in Central Park

My first New York City Hot dog....uh yeah...won't be eating one of those again.

One of the many trips on the train

Woman vs Food...ugh...wow

When I think of chicken wings, I think of very tiny ones that are the size of my index finger....I think they had to kill at least three birds for six of these wings.
