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......

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!

Greatness in the form of strangers

Today brought the best news in six months time!!! However, I cannot tell you what it is due to people who have chose to make me an adversary {in their mind} -- "Let go and let God". When you intentionally create stress for others it, comes back to haunt. Anywho........
Well, due to the aforementioned, I will not be telling of my dreams, hopes, and wishes here on Blogger.....well, not important ones anyway. I will be writing on Myspace {if you are a friend u can actually read--as some are private and soome are open}. The adversaries again. %##&*!! Oh well. Next!
Anyways, the news is just wonderful!!!! Happy, Happy, Joy Joy! Aaahhh, asking for blessings, going to church and having people {complete strangers} pray for you, and meeting an angel who ministers the word of God to my mother and I is the heart of it {and how it started}.
When everything is completed, I will let everyone know.

June did not bring my plans to fruition--but brought another gift

{and I still have to go to the studio to rehearse my Rep Series---in July}

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...

Just watched a movie + a "relevation"

Today was interesting---had rehearsal, took a shower in Twisted Peppermint, cut hair {nice and short and managable}, watched Twilight {finally--after the all of the hoopla died down}, had dinner {bowtie pasta + fried chicken w/ four cheese alfredo sauce and Calif style veggies}. Am waiting for a movie to come on around 1AM -- can't get it On Demand.

Going back to Twilight---I read a blog "breaking down the book"....after I read it I said OUTLOUD --- What an idiot! Good lord. It takes all types of people to make up the world and a small percentage that I am witnessing/witnessed is really stupid. Really makes you wonder where the brains are located! But the breakdown really had a look on my face--are you serious? You wasted a chunk of time on a blog posting for this! Oh well......evidently no common sense {yes, moves across the country with hardly no financial resources---guess she didn't think he ecomony would go to hell in a hand basket.} Loser of the month!

Well, in other smart, grownup news........
Mom did get a job as a driver----in a Lincoln Cont'l..... Need I say more?? A nice car that she's not accountable for the gas/maintence. {When good things happen to good people} I rode in a Lincoln years ago--nice car! I might just look for a "holiday" job----would like to work at Bath and Body Works.

No other news to tell---boyfriend is doing better--I swear he has something up his sleeve---a surprise.

Just a note----I still live in the same place as I did in April 2008--had not had to move. The next move would be in a partnership {I'll just leave you hanging---think about it}.

October's update

Well, I did not move....instead the noisy neighbors are moving--and the last date is the 15th. Can you say joy?? Almost a year with stomping around, running in the space, and not to mention the parents are just like children themselves. It's real funny when the parents begin to act like the kids themselves. Showing a positive example to their kids? ---No. Oh well....not my problem anymore!!! So HAPPY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am short on $$$ this month--my neighbor did not pay me the loan in Sepember and now I cannot pay all of the rent, not to mention pay the bills. After {and then only} she did confront me and say that she will not be able to pay the entire amount back {really?!}. Of course, then there was the "drama" she was trying to get me enbroiled into---all the time I was thinking "I am going back to bed".
So, now, we have to find a way to recoup some $$--perhaps, by selling off both security biz's. Then the dream is this: sell off the name and invest in a studio. Hopefully, it can become a reality. Well, if God wants it to be, it will be.

The past two weeks, I went to the mall {2 wks in a row}!! I saw Couples Retreat---freakin' hilarious! Loved it....I think Carlos Ponce kinda stole it from Vince Vaugn---a yoga instructor that did not do an inch of yoga! A must see---if you like commedy!
I figure if I am going to be without and its not my fault--I will splurge just a little. I went to Bath and Body Works and got 2 wallflowers {sweet cinnamon pumpkin/creamy nutmeg}, 2 candles {kitchen spice & cimmamon/clove bud}, a new item--body mousse; plus, and old item---foaming body wash--both in Black Amethyst.

Today, is a day of rest {after yesterday's rehearsal} and I am sore. I played LIFE with mom and she won this time I gained about 900 grand and she won!!! Tomorrow, we are going grocery shopping.
And, lastly--the weather---isn't it nice??

FALL WEATHER.....AAHH!!

Here!

This is actually a pic of a certain "someone" from the late 80's!! {see below for name}

I had a rehearsal tonight and taught the guy's solo {On A Day...} and the cursor is messing up so you know what that means? To bed real soon!!

Also ate at home for the first time in I dunno...a week. Had chicken + rice soup. Yum!!

I guess DM are doing okay--have no checked the website today or the other day. I am going to MISS them in two weeks when they come thru Houston.....I was going thru the Woodlands and saw the trucks unloading for the Def Leppard concert last Wednesday! .....didn't see Joe Elliot!

Back to business

Lost the beg of this damn thing--well....tin the morining is rehearsal!!

Anyways, eaching, sending angie on errands, payroll, and teaching ballet barre

Afterwards, we ahve to go look at a Crown Vic.....fingers crossed!! Literally.

Saturday, LaKiaya, is coming to the audition and going to help me with the repertoire section of teaching it. Before, we have to meet and sign all of the contracts!! More later.....but, I need to go to bed-----rehearsal at 11AM!

The most gorgous man in the entire world---just look at him--so adorable---now, if he would smile while he is performing!!!

A real post is forthcoming.....

With so much to do, I am trying to keep up to date--running two biz's {well, one will be operational in about a week and a half}. So, while I update stuff, enjoy........

Dr. Taylor~~~doing his thing!!

***Oh! I updated the website with adding a page titled Falling Down---which is appropiate for Tidbits***

Last blog of May & what is coming up for June

Posted my last blog via Myspace.....

read all about it here!

I have finally recovered!!!!

Isn't he just too cute??!! I need something to gaze at after the past week I had! I am just now fully recovered. Last Wednesday, the car came and immediately my ball of my foot and neck were hurting. Both are still hurting almost a week later. So, here's a recap......

Wednesday--went all over Houston. I did my flyers for my show next month {that was a challenge--let me tell you--had to RECREATE it}. Went to Best Buy to find Plant/Page--no avail {came to find out, it is out of print!}; and to Sephora and MAC... Saw Kat Von D's new makeup line {Nikki's girlfriend}.

Thursday--Mom's app't a joke--yea right! Went to visit a friend, and had chinese food.

Friday--Delevered flyers, had Souper Salad for lunch, went to go visit a friend {he worked for us in the 90's and stayed in contact all of these years}. I have noticed since 2006, he looks at me alot--an interested look. Then, had rehearsal and filmed.

Saturday--We went to eat chinese food at an old restaurant we used to go when our office was in the Galleria...and then went to see Star Trek--it was very good!!! FREE--even better!!!! went to HEB to get some odds and ends .. .also, got the Page/Plant DVD

Sunday--back to the studio for more torture---and a bummed foot and neck was alot of fun--plus I was exhausted. Came home to load the vids and watch the new eppy of CI!

Yesterday, was my sweetie's birthday---we are now exactly 10 years apart. today, just relaxing and letting my neck rest--I had to put three hot packs on a nd a application of biofreeze to loosen it up!!! And been working posting this and that!! Also, have a prospectable job for this coming fall!!

The weekend

I am tired and so sore..my foot hurts like hell -- only when I walk on concrete...and my toe is acting up! and I am so tired--my body hurts like hell.....my neck has been hurting for the past four days --it was easy up yesterday--but rehearsal made it hurt again---well, its sore!
I'll write more........I have been running like crazy for the past 3 days......supposed to see Star Trek--I dunno......and it the bitch neighbor upstairs is making all kinds of noise. I hate people that cannot keep quiet---no excuse for making noise...really isn't!

I just might go someplace to have peace and quiet!!!

Start of the workweek-con't

I made this just 5 minutes ago---I made one for RDC...just messing around...so, I found something to play with!!

Tomorrow, I have errands to run---- bank, Kinko's, store {for drinks}, post office box, Best Buy, and Chinese food for dinner {YUM}

Thursday, Mom has an appointment; then we are going to eat lunch out {free dinner}!!

Friday, I have to go to the Post Office up here where I live and then all around the town to drop off flyers....then rehearsal.

Saturday------FREE MOVIE!! Star Trek we will see!

Sunday, it's back to rehearsal and video too.

So, there's your agenda {well, mine actually} and a collage of that cute drummer! Somewhere in betwen this chaos I have to go to Deerbrook and return 2 items.

The start of the workweek!

Roger Taylor of Duran duran {the original drummer}

A left over from the wekend!! Well, it is over...finally! I am a WORKAHOLIC!!! I like to be working, doing projects....but, I do relax! My favourite way of relaxing is either watching a movie/show that I enjoy, or listening to music/watching old videos.
This week is some work that is left unfinished. We are getting a car on Wednesday, and take care of some things; also, we have free movie and dinner tix; rehearsals; and more.
I read something this morning that was really stupid--but I had to laugh as the person clearly thought it was a useful insight of info {when in reality it was something similiar that already did}. I was going to mention it--but what is the use? Giving the twit the sastifaction..........there's more to life than sheer idioticy!

My rehearsal, L&O:CI, and a mild irritation

Well, here I sit as I drink my refreshing glass of Pepsi and recant the day--rain, stretch, rain, choreograph, and guess what?...MORE RAIN. It is still raining! I know by tomorrow morning I will be very sore....3 hours of rehearsing! Oh well, whatever it takes to get these pieces done, right? I think I lost 5 pounds--and my clothes were soaked. Not a pretty sight....
So, I had a nice, hot shower and my body feels so much better {and clean--feeling gritty/dirty is just nasty}.

Tomorrow is the season premiere of Law and Order: Criminal Intent!!! Who Hoo. All day long is a marathon of the show--so no dancing/internet! I have been waiting since Nov 2008 for this to premiere.

Anyways...the dances are coming along pretty well. I think I am going to have to pull one of the dances---it will take another year to complete. The Greatest Gift is so far the most romantic piece yet. You can go to myspace to hear the song playing. Just breath taking.....
Also, I have to delete some of the songs on this playlist and add more.

I have been on Twitter, and these people are relentless......asking Jim about tour dates. Do you think he wants to chat about tour dates? The one thing that irritates me is this---they don't know how to talk to him {some people can}. He is a normal person.....Good Lord! Yes, I used to be ga ga over him--but I grew up and relised he is a person and has a mind. Oh well.... what can you do?
I might write a little later on tonight--not sure though.

PS: a certain person can message me and say thanx. Just kidding! LoL.

My Muse, My Love; seriously....my recap 'til today!

My Muse, My love---what a great “falling in love’ title.

WED: Got the majority of the mortgage and went to the mall to eat and do light shopping--Bath and Body Works, got my May issue of horoscope mag and Duran Duran’s Astronaut {I need the CD to choreograph the song--What Happens…}.

THURS: Got the car and went to the chiropracter---feel much better. Got my Pespi’s, and also bought the boxset, Nine Lives. {smile} Watched the videos at home--didn’t remember but 1 video.

FRI: Went to the bank, got lunch, picked up MISA box from the Loser, went out to the studio. Spent a good chunk of time there and while there had a little accident--not to worry……I slid and my bad knee caught me. I was not even dancing--but standing GETTING ready to dance. Did 6 videos. Got to go back on Sunday to choreograph What Happens--well, finish some more….and this beautiful song that I found off of Nine Lives---The Greatest Gift. It is a love song and so beautiful. It made me cry just a little. Robert Plant made me cry. {I bet that has never happened to him} Came home and ordered take out--Chinese.

So, that’s just part of the adventure…..and still continuing onward.
