December 15th!

I had a dream Mon morn about him {U2's drummer. This pic is from Zooropa 1992. Good things then. wished it was still the 90's.}

Well, I made it to the end of the year. I am in a better place, but, not really. Everything that was promised before we moved did pan out; but so did of alot of other things. Those things weren't not part of the plan. But we are not going to talk about those "things".

It's almost 80 degrees today and hot. I DON'T like hot weather!!

Tomorrow, Alvin + the Chipmunks open -- fingers crossed I can see it.

My career has picked up some, from zero to 4-5 different options!! So, I guess the end of the year and moving has not been that bad. Only one thing is heart breaking and that is the opposite sex -- well, was not meant to be.

The first real post of 2011

The last pic---I just love....... love Liam Neeson.
I have spent most of the day working--doing admin work. Preparing for an audition, RDC II auditions, my rehearsal, and loads of computer work. It seems to never end!!! On other news, I begun taking ballroom lessons again {for the umpteenth time}. But, I think I have an interest in my teacher and visa versa. That's all that I am saying. I'll see if this has any future or not. Hopefully, the former.
I have started teaching hip hop again. It's only one genre of dance--hopefully, it will lead to other genres {smile}.
The ex--well, he's just that. I am so tired of his meaningless emails and non-exsistant thoughts. A new year--a new interest--well, I can dream!!

Halloween

Well, first of the "official" holiday is here...no real posting just a holiday them hello!! A new blog wil return in November! With lots of exciting news......

Spooky month approaching!!

Had a dream about him posting comments! ^&&%%$

Supposed to be working--but am taking a break!! October is nearing--yahoo!!!! Have my first rehearsal next week---excited? - yes.

Good tidings tomorrow??

Tomorrow my mother is supposed to have a meeting with a "good tiding" Yay!! Today, I have to teach in 2 hrs and 45 mins! Hip Hop and a new student. More tomorrow -- hopefully with an update!

Resting........

The dreadful day in history. I hope everyone who lost a loved one is better able to deal with their loss...it is very hard.

I am very sore from rehearsing yesterday. I keep telling myself that teaching & rehearsing aren't the same...but somehow, I think it is!! Tonight is SM's last gig in Paris...wish I was there! Am awaiting news if I get my status or not {you know what that is}. Really need something to spring, pop, or whatever. also, am waiitng for the hot weather to END. I HATE hot weather. Period. It is so disgusting and all. Not much else to report on....need to take new pics...supposed to do some yesterday in rehearsal--but forgot as always. So, I'll catch up and do some new business shots. {Fingers crossed}

***Oh, I lost 15 pounds in two weeks--something I was not looking to do!!

News, news, and more news.......

There is alot of news to mention and all of it is very good. I don't have time right now to write as I am still working...but it all has to do w/ dance, rep, classes, MISA, and performing. More later....

The first is nearing and so are activities

Well, this might be my last post of the month {??} But, I am not really sure though. The wonderful news I had to share is not the same thing--but is still good, neverthless. Tomorrow, we have to move everything to the other side of the house. So, I planned to have a day of cleaning! Yipee. Sunday, we might go to church, not really sure yet. On Monday thru Wednesday, is back to here {my sanctuary} to return to work. The 1st arrives---and that's when things take off.
I have so many things to accomplish/purchase. Read on to see....
~Aug zodiac book
~face care
~new socks
~pick up my clothes/shoes, CD's, slip case
~many others I can't recall at the moment

And...... we have to be out and about at 8:30AM til 3PM. It will be nice to divide up our time by going different places we have not been to in a LONG time. Plus, going to rehearsal. I also need to look into inquiring about teaching ballroom. Well, more next week!

All day has been admin work for my Rep Series and just general self promotion. Very important if you are self employed!

Alot to write about....

Well, alot has happen and I cannot write about it now....but, my Rep Series is back on, I found a new studio to rehearse at {and love it}, have a new teaching job, and been offered the space for RDC...and will be holding auditions next month!
And a lovely pic of Mr. DJ!!! Aaaahhh...

Coming soon.....

A new blog---I hope. I have had a hard time getting internet here in in the country....HA HA!!!Of the five jobs--I still have 2 left and am doing legwork here in Conroe.....more later!

Thursday and its moving time again

Okay....so, I haven't really given a reason why I am no longer in Kingwood. I had to move out because I could no longer pay the rent. This all stems back to September of 2009--when I was given given the approval to teach on property and then it was pulled out from me. October-December, I searched for a job like crazy - but no luck. Could not pay rent for 90 days. In August, I paid a neighbor's rent {and she never paid me back}, paid for MISA's liscense to get re-instated {did not pan out}, and bought a car--did not pan out. All of these things was something I did not feel like it was going to work {except the neighbor}. I bought zero for myself well, just tee's and CD's}. Basically, I gave away $8, 000.00........

Here in 2010.....I moved in with a friend for about a week in Houston. Tomorrow, I am heading up to Conroe to live with my aunt/uncle. Yesterday, I spent online, emailing, surfing for work - and got 5 job leads. So, 2010 is looking up to be much better. Maybe I had to lose everything just to start over from scratch.

I hoped everyone has enjoyed my pics of Ralph Fiennes--I enjoyed posting them for you!! And here's another.........

Close to the end of the year blog!

Well....it has been 10 days since the last post. Some has happened--some has not. The biggest worry is still present--but not as bad. This worry has been present ever since October. So, with the holidays approaching...its holiday time.

The news that I am supposed to post is this: an old employee of my dad's contacted us and after talking has decided to do some networking for us. In our biz {security} a man is better than a woman. We are also doing some advertising. He said in passing about apartments that offer live on courtesy officers in lieu of monthly rent. So, I slept on it and came to a realization. Why not pitch an idea to apartment communities about live on officers in lieu of rent?? So, we did. It is weird mixing business with looking at apartments. Very foreign!! We visited 2 complexes today and had a good response at one of them. They just opened and are looking to expand out into a 2nd officer. So, we have to bring out an intro letter and speak with the manager Monday.This will help tremendously if we can get a live on in terms of $$$.Mom does most of the talking as I am still learning about how to approach clients. My deal is the office....admin work!

In other news.....I just concluded the last performance of 2009 and for the retirement home. This week I am going to look at some more centers {and bring the portfolio}. I am also working with a young lady in NY who is interested in doing the centers with me.

Really, nothing else to "report"---I am sick of this place and really want to get out of here. It has not been a pleasant place....makes me wish I would have stayed at the first place in Kingwood!!

****Oh, of course, my so called friends have not called once this year to see how I am doing or my mom. They will have a BIG change coming in 2010....a big one!

Last week's recap

Okay......alot has happened!! I been having to update for about a week...and haven't really had the chance. So, here's goes the recap.......

~finally, mom got the offer to drive {after a couple of snags--but all is well now!!}
~met one of the KW people in person--he was nice and gave us a "present" and we had pizza that night and Chinese food the next
~we both met the man who mom is driving for---a medical condition......well, its true. Long story short, he has a boot and is on crutches -- meaning cannot drive. And he's a photographer!
~I got a job offer from the pictures guy. I went to the ladies room and he asked if anyone was looking for a job----talk about a job falling into my lap LITERALLY!!!! So, I did accept the offer and begin this coming Tuesday.
~put an ap in at Bath and Body Works {b/c I want to!!!!}
Today we get to take the photo guy to a photo shoot---very different and new.

So, I have to get out my business clothes and do a little shopping for a couple of new biz outfits + dress shoes. I am also going to see This is It on Saturday--a day that is our own {well, besides Monday}. Also, will have to buy lunch and of course groceries.
And.....today is the 9th annivesary of my father's passing.

{oh......I guess I have a new or secondary career}

Happenings {!!}

Well, here I write! I have been so busy. Still haven't bought anything for myself. I am listening my playlist on this blogger--Bedroom toys! you know what Simon was thinking about when he wrote it--bedroom toys....hmmm.... a Scorpio!! But, it's catchy!!

Busy bee have I been.......meeting this person, going here, paying this, eating here. Get some sleep...get up and repeat. What a life, huh? I figured I have been on a LONG A** vacation--so now, it's time to work. Ha Ha. My aunt is in the hospital---she fractured her shoulder---ouch. She's out of commision for at least 6 months--and Christmas is coming---oh hell!

So, we are waiting for the liscensce to arrive from Austin. The Crown Vic is in the shop---having more work that should have been done before! We talked business yesterday with a neighbor who is actually going to be helping us! Exciting!
I had a job interview this past Friday and was hired then she reniged and did not b/c my choreo did not depict classical ballet---hello--choreo!!!! Oh well, my gain at another place....I have another interview. And, the "new studio" where I supposed to work---well, I told them I was leaving! She did not know when the studio was opening, no enrollment....just a huge mess.
Well, my classes {Dancer...} begin this Wednesday.

I have pics from the road trip to up north!

Enjoyed my ballroom--but the manager was trying to gauge me on the price and tomorrow is my last class. If you'd tell me the truth and not lie you would have a succesful business and I would not leave....but, oh well, that's the way the cookie crumbles. But, I hate it b/c my teacher is Latin and cute and just so sweet!!!

My beau {ex--I dunno what he is anymore} sent me an email by and invite {u know like facebook has invited u....} to RDC's and my personal email. I guess he is trying to say "I messed up." I am like "really?!" Well...men, what do you say??!!

Recieved my balance of $$ and this is the recap {QUICK}

Okay....I am going to go real quick--so keep up! That's all I can say.

-I got the car--bought+paid for--that's nice...no notes!!!
-I got my ballroom class sceduled for this coming Monday---real nice instructer--he has an accent--his name is Antonio!
-Have not heard from my new "job"
-Will be starting DE classes in two weeks {mine other biz]
-Already running the company---signing paperwork with LaKiaya tomorrow
-Submited fees for MISA to operate legally---close to $3,000.00 + the new car.
-Doing alot website work, printing, advertising via Blogger/Myspace {whew! where's an assistant when you need one??}
WHAT ELSE??
I have not bought any groceries in 3 weeks---eating out everyday and leftovers for the night time. Also, have not bought me anything remotely fun, well, except for ---
candles, 4 tee's, face care {whoo hoo}, 8 CD's, printer {for biz purpose--of course}, and office supplies!
Hopefully, after next wek's MISa meeting and RDC's meeting I CAN and buy some new clothes--I will need biz clothes for working in the office!!!

And...........this Sunday, I am going up to Cleland, Livingston, Lufkin, and a little farther north. I am bringing the camera this time. {In 2007, when we had a lump sum $$$ we went on a rad trip and no camera--but had plenty of $$$$. Any sense to you? Me neither!}

Great, great news!!! {HAPPY HAPPY, JOY JOY}

This morn I recieved news that I will be recieving the remainder of the balance for my mortgage in August or before!!! It is a drop in the bucket -- but a couple of thousand will really help {say estimated $14,000.00 give or take}.

WOW! And I was wondering what was going to happen and my friend who has a 6th sense said around Aug/Sept and October things will pick up and improve.
{SIDENOTE--Just sitting here listening to my stereo - All Right Now --- a little portable for teaching here on the property}

Plus, my mom has just begun selling candles and she has a party next Wed. So, guess who gets to clean?? And, I got to begin planning classes for DE for the Fall.

The first "pricetag"---a vehicle - would like a Dodge Dakota....but we'll see!!

Now.....We Will Rock You is playing----great voice---real artist w/ a great band!!

And........like the song says --

'we are the champions, my friend we'll keep on fighting til the end; we are the champions, we are the champions, no time for losers cause we are the champions of the world'

just a little quote to amuse myself with from all of the un-self inflicted pains that I have endured.

A real post is coming!

In the midst of running around like a crazy fool, rehearsing, pictures, and filming---I am tired! I am the middle of prepping for my concert.....

So, a real post is forthcoming....I promise!!!

And, yes, my hip is giving me problems--just lovely; Plus I am sore from dress reh last night!

The end of June is tomorrow, and what have I done?

Via Twitter......am not happy at the moment. I leave others comments and no replies - it is kind of that way with emails as well. I am talking old people.... say more than a week old! How Wude!
Well, enough of ranting about the rudeness......can't change people--but, maybe I should get off Twitter {!} There's a thought!

Anywho, my show is in 6 days and I am writing this! Very professional aren't I? The beg of July is going to be very busy, busy, and more busy. Well, I wanted this and now, I have to prepare. That is always fun. I get into pre-performance mode and I am told I am a bitch to be around. That's what I am told. I guess it is partly true--I am a perfectionist!!! Go figure!

In a day and a half, I have to get my soup for the chicken and rice that I forgot to get but got everything else! Really brilliant, isn't it??
I have to get to the store, make my cd for the show, do the programs, get a couple of staging things {tape}, make the cd for the house music, and this is not including the pics and performance video.

I was watching movies last Friday night and I caught a movie that I haven't seen in 12 years-The Glimmer Man, with Steven Seagal and Keenan Ivory Wayons. I had not seen that in a long time!Still was a goood relaxing evening. I was his bio {Seagal} and it is interesting to say the least! I have seen every one of his movies {very interesting action star}.

It came to a crashing halt!

Well, lots of news to tell…and most of it is not good. I had classes--this is what happened.

First my assistant misses class and does not show up to the rest of classes. Second, the two new students were supposed to register Monday, did not. Then, I had a class schedule to teach on Thursday and she cancelled. On the same day, my manager emailed and said her boss was out and all of the flyers had to come off of the doors/windows. That was the last straw. I got fed up tore up the flyers, took everything down, and told her I am not going to do the classes. Of course, she said I was being negative. I figure it this way. I had a business deal go south because of someone dropped the ball, running low on money, and classes did not bring the $$$ in like they are supposed to because no one ever paid {and it was right there in BLACK AND WHITE}.
So, that day was brought to a crashing halt. I still have not emailed my apt. manager back and it has been 2 days.

I did turn it around though----
I decided the one thing that CANNOT be taken away and be told sh*t things is MY SHOW. Already, I have three interested people who will probably be there.

On the door of the fitness room, were my flyers and a man was looking at them and the look on face was like “I can’t workout because of the class schedule everyday’.
Then, Michael Jackson passed away, and that day was me reliving the passing of Hutch all over again.

So, that was my update, outlook, and present state of mind.
Due to all of people’s sh*t--I figure it this way……
You give me problems, well, no one will dance---so everyone suffers…..except for me!

In closing, I have a show to prepare for that I cancelled b/c of a neck injury {should have never done that}. It has been 2 days since this incident and I still feel the same was regarding the classes here. But, my mind is better and more positive.

....here {from myspace}

....just here......awaiting for more enrollment. Today was going real well---UNTIL I got down to the office. {You won't believe the next part!} Some f*ckin idiot put my class schedules into the printer for paper for printer paper. Was I pissed? Oh yes! Can you wrap your brain around that concept? I mean idioticy. Clearly a zero score on the intelligence board!! Stupid people!!!! Geez...... As you can see, I have changed the profile again, and loaded a couple new pics of Vincent. Still love Mr. Taylor {Roger}--he is just too cute--but Vincent--well like fine wine and just gets better with age. {and he will be turning 50 next Tuesday}

So, I have been just waiting for people to enroll in classes and doing computer work at the biz center. I am sending out a second flyer announcing ther dance classes next week. If no interest still afer that--then a performance/pot luck dinner.

Well, nothing else to report--just working away! Do I perfer him with a beard or no beard? I kinda like the full beard on him---adds a degree of sexiness! DROOL.......
