I haven't blogged in forever.  My life has been crazy and I have not had time to write down what is going on in my life.  
Friday was my last day of work!  I have hated my job for over a year and I am finally done with it! I was so excited to sleep in, but now that I can my body wants to wake me up at 7 everyday.  I think it is because I have had so much on my mind. 
 Yesterday I moved to St. Augustine, but moving was the death of me.  I started packing on Friday and wasn't done until Monday.   It was probably one of the hardest things I have had to do, it took me so long because I couldn't see through all the tears.  My mom showed up with her boyfriend on Monday late afternoon, we get everything packed up and start to drive only to find out the bearing on the trailer was broken.  I don't know anything about cars, but I know that it took about 6 hours to fix that thing.  I ended up leaving Orlando around 2:20 and got to St. Augustine at 3:30 in the morning.  Today I just unpacked everything and made my new place feel as homey as possible.  I think I want to cut off my knee's and calf's because they hurt so bad, moving out of a two story and into a two story is the worst.  
So yeah now I am in St. Augustine and I am hoping for sun tomorrow so I can start working on my tan!

Dance like no one is watching!

While growing up I was fortunate enough to try many activities.  My mom wanted me to be active and I guess find my talent.  I did gymnastics for 4 years, piano for a little while, played clarenet for 3 years, was involved in winter guard for 4 years, and danced off and on my entire life.  Out of all these activities I am always going back to dancing.  Dancing makes me feel alive and free.  I have done all types of dancing such as ballet, tap, modern, african, jazz, and I took a couple of ballroom classes.  Ahh how I miss it all so much.
This weekend I went out with a couple of friends, we chilled at the bar and then decided to dance a little.  As I looked around at the dance floor I saw all the different types of dancers.  There are those ones that are really speratic with their movement and it seems like they have a tottaly different song playing in their head then what the DJ had just put on,  then there are the ones that are to shy they hardly move or are leaning against the wall just watching people.  There are the crazy dancers, the sexual ones that just air hump everything, and then there are the super drunk dancers that are just falling over ever 2 sec.!  I love to watch people dance because most of the time you can really see their personality come out and you see people just having fun and enjoying themselves!  I know I just let go, enjoy the music and smile!

Zebu

So I know this is a random post, but I was recently introduced to this really cute animal.  It is called a Zebu.  Pretty much this is a humped cow, but it is so cute!  Take a look at this baby I got to get up close and personal with!

Dog Love




I went to St. Augustine this weekend and got to bring Dakota with me.  I took her out on the beach sunday morning and I can't even explain the joy it brought to her, here are some pictures and you can just see the happiness on her face!

Confessions (part 1)

I always want to be dancing. When no one is home I jump and twirl around my house with such joy! Sometimes I am really good and sometimes I just do it to get all the frustration out!

I hate to cook, but if I am re-creating a dish I love it and get really prideful that I actually made something edible!

I want to grow my nails out so bad, but something stressful comes along and poof they are gone.

Sometimes I wish I could just pack up my car and drive somewhere. I wish I knew people in every state and I would just go and bum a night with them.

I am very scared of the dark and still see things and get scared when all the lights are off.

I am a very shy person, but I have been trying to overcome it my whole life and have just learned to step up when I need too.

Serving up fresh lemonade!

Such sad news

So tonight I sign into my mail and find out Heath Ledger died.  He was only 28 years old, his maid found him dead in his bed.  The police are thinking he overdosed on sleep medication, but don't know if he purposely overdosed or if it was an accident.  I am so sad, I love him as an actor, he was the lead role in "A knights tale" and "The Patriot".  So tonight we will mourn the death of beautiful Heath.  We will see him again in the summer of 2008 when "The dark knight" comes out, a sequel to "Batman begins", he stars as the joker.  Heath we love you and will miss you.
