About Me

I LOVE DANCE!!!! I dance for a studio and for the university team and it will without a doubt be part of my career along with graphic design. I am sooo friendly and such an awesome friend but i am terribly shy. I love watching movie but im also outgoing. I love love love ice cream! but that comes after dance. Im always trying new things with my hair (its always a different hair color) and sometimes it could be a drastic change but its okay, its all fun.

Splended Weekend
More...

So I really enjoyed my weekend, it was pretty busy. Friday I ate dinner with my family again and we had steaks so my family was so happy about that. The weather this weekend was just gorgeous. My boyfriend and I decided to go mini golfing. We used to go a lot because we really enjoyed. I enjoyed it more because I always beat him. But it just worked out that the weather was so nice and once again I beat him saturday at minigolf. Ill be nice and say it wasn't by much but I was always one or two ahead of him.

I had to work this weekend. I had to close saturday night and sunday night. It stinks closing because sometimes you can make good money but saturday applebees doesn't close until midnight and sunday they don't close until eleven. I don't know what kind of restaurant stays open to eleven. Well at least Applebees shouldn't because the most we get is one or to tables. So since I was working this weekend I set a goal to make at least 100$ between the two nights. Just because I have a lot of things I am going to be buying just this month.

Well, saturday night was so slow and we had nine people on. By the time it was 730 pm and our dinner rush basically finished, my sales were only 199$, which is not good at all. So we cut two people, kind of got busier. It wasn't until we went to closers, which is just two people working the floor for about the last three hours until close, when we got busy. I was excited to but swamped when a party of 21 people come in. Luckily my co-worker really likes me and helped me with the table when she wasn't even on the clock. Just alone that night I made over 100$. So I was really relieved that I made my goal in the first night and whatever I made sunday night would be a bonus.

Sunday night, tonight was awesome. We were steady. It was busy but not crazy busy where your running through the restaurant. So I'm really wiped and my feet are killing me but i made another 100$ tonight! This seriously made my weekend. Even though I'm going to be spending this money this week on my boyfriends birthday day gift, I'm still so glad!

Johns gift! Man he is so hard to shop for. I have no idea what I want to give him. I want to really treat him to something nice because he paid for our whole florida trip but I really cant think of anything. So I have less than a week to figure something out with that. Otherwise I got a new phone!. I'm glad we did that because my phone was a piece of crap! My battery was fried and the reception was terrible. The phone was a refurbished one and it sucked. So yea I got a new phone and my younger sister has the same one. That's lame.

For stuff this week I'm looking forward to: Monday I start my kick boxing class with my friend from work. Also this week I'm going to Hubbard Street Dance Studio to by my class card and then I get to start dancing next week! I'm really excited for that. Some things I'm not looking forward is definitely midterms and I have to schedule a dentist apartment. I hate the dentist but when its over I love the feeling. Well more to come this week. Ga-night!!

This Weekend
More...

So I was really excited about a few things this weekend. First monday I had my kick boxing class which I was surprised at how well it went. My arms were sore for two days because of how many push ups we did. I took this class with a friend from work at the park district. Also I talked to the park district about teaching a dance class and they are looking to start an adult dance class, which I am a little nervous for but I think it would be so much fun since it is what I really want to do.

I got my dance pictures in from recital. I have a lot more than what is up these are just my favorites. The show was at Governors State University and this was my last recital with Creative Dance Studio. I am moving on to another studio, Hubbard Street Dance. Which I did go there thursday to buy my card and I am going to be starting classes this week which I am so excited for. While we were there we were watching this advanced ballet class. I haven't been dancing for two weeks so I am really anxious to start again.

Friday was John's Birthday and I was really happy with the gift I bought him. My dad helped me pick out this nice tool set to help him with his carpentry. We didn't really do much for his birthday. We went out to eat at Bostons, which they had a nice choice of food but our waitress took forever to bring john his lemonade. He asked for a lemonade when we got our food and didn't get it until we finished eating so he wasn't happy about that. So after we ate we went to best buy and bought the sims 3. The sims 3 and Spore are the two computer games that me john always play together. I play on my laptop and he plays on his computer.

The new sims game is crazy and fun. There are so many more things you can customize and now you can add traits to your characters. There are all sorts of traits and it affect the sim in the game and how they interact with others and how they live there daily life. It has been pretty hard for me but a lot of fun. We spent like five our playing the game the first day. It gets so addicting.

I had to work saturday night but I was off by ten but tonight, Sunday, I have to work until close which is eleven. I am just hoping to make some money. I spent about 700 dollars just within these couple weeks. So now I have to work hard and make extra tips to make up for it. Lastly, last night I was playing halo with john, his friend, and his brother. Now I am not good at this game at all. Especially when your playing with people who are not pro but might as well be when it comes to me. So we played that for a long time and I was actually having fun with it. Usually I am always getting killed and losing I get tired of it. So that was my weekend/week and I have plenty to look forward to!

My Pets
Marley Tiny Lizard1 Lizard2 Milo

So I decided that I was going to do a blog about my pets. I have some pets at home and I have a couple with my boyfriend. I listed them in order from my favorite to least favorite. It always seems like every animal I get, definitely has some personality to it.

So starting with my favorite, Marley, she is going to about a year old and she is a runt. She is so small and a big brat. John was working at Blue Island Rental when he came across her. At the time the doctors said she had to be about two to three months old. I remember sitting at home the one day and I received a picture message of this little kitten, from my boyfriend, while he was at work. I said aw cute whose cat is that. He responded and said ours. I didn't wanna believe him but he was serious he brought it home that day and we were hoping his mom would let us keep it. So was adorable and so cuddly the first couple days we had her. Then she started roaming the house and getting comfortable. Now she acts like she is the boss and she only wants attention when it is on her time. She has quiet the personality and very smart. She is quiet the cat.

Next is my Black Capped Conure, Tiny. I bought him from the pet store and that was his name at the store so I just left it the same. I bought him when he was 6 months old. And I remember going to the store, I am such a big fan of birds, I was looking and he was in his cage just wanting to get out and was letting me hold him and pet him. I knew he was the right bird for me! Such a beautiful bird. For a period of time he went through this bitting stage and I was so upset that he didn't like me. Now he is two years old, loves attention, only from certain people though. He gets along with me, my dad, and john. For some reason I noticed that he gets along better with men than women. Don't know why but ya my sister hates him because he tries to bite her. He can really bite hard. He has bitten me to the point where I cried. But I am a big baby. He loves being out of his cage and he is soooooo LOUD!. Sometimes I try to sleep in and he just starts screeching. I can rarely have him out of the cage because the cat, not Marley but Milo, wants to play with it. I never really taught him how to talk even though he can but only short words. He whistles at me. you know that one whistle to tell someone they are hot. Ha. He loves doing that when he wants attention and to be out of the cage. Well I'm gonna be stuck with him for about another 38 more years, since they leave up to 40 or more. We shall see how that goes.

Next, Lizzard1. We never gave him a name but this was our first animal together. I bought this for John as a christmas gift and he has had it for I wanna say three to four years. Nothing much we can do with it. He does like people and we can only keep him out of his cage for so long because he needs the heat. Also, Marley would love to play with him. He has gotten so big over the past couple years and there is really nothing more you could do with him.

And the other, Lizzard2. He is the most recent addition to the family. We bought him before we left for our florida trip over spring break. I am not exactly sure how old he is but getting the picture of him was really hard because he is really jumpy and doesn't like to held. Also, he is shedding so I Don't know, he probably just doesn't want to be touched. Both of these lizards are Leopard Geckos. We Don't know if it is a boy or a girl. All we know is that one of them cant be male because you cant put to males together or else they will fight. So when we put them together they got along and still do.

Lastly, Milo. She is technically my sisters cat but the whole family pitches in. We adopted her when she was 6 months old around September. So she is about over a year old. Now the problem we had was my sister want to get one of those little kittens which is what I wanted to but p.a.w.s told us we couldn't because we had a dog, who has never been around cats before so they didn't think having a kitten would be a good idea. Unfortunately my dog got hit by a car about four days after we brought home milo. She lived but her back legs were paralyzed and there was no other choice but to put her down. I Don't have any pictures of her up here but she would have been number 1. She was a black lab about eight or nine years old. Such a smart well trained dog who knew all sorts of tricks. so friendly and loved attention.

I love all of my animals and I miss my dog the most. I have tried so hard trying to get another dog because Milo doesn't even compare to our lab, Angel. Milo doesn't want the attention like Angel she would never cuddle with you the way Angel would. Overall I have a number of pets and one day I will get my Angel back. =]
