So sad that AOL journals are going cease to exist....all those years of entries will disappear unless I can figure how to transfer them to another on-line journal...hey all you aol journal writers what do you plan to do? Well it has been forever since my last posting. I survived Yaa Halla Ya'll, my 2 performance their, the photo shoot, I tested out and was able to move up a level of belly dance (boy what a difference a level makes......I'm still in shock "Were not in Kansas anymore...Toto"

I've recently joined facebook, I'm still trying to figure out the in's and the out's of it.

I need a map or a secretary!

I think I need a map or a secretary to clue me in on which way I'm going...I don't think I have been this busy in ages! To top it off I think the heat is bring back some of my awful symptoms for a year ago....scary! I have Bellydancing practices every night/day except Sunday's to preparing for my 2 performances in less than 2 weeks....I'm running in and running right out...my apartment looks like a tornado hit it!
Panda Cam update...no cub yet and from the looks of it, it is probably a false pregnancy...how disappointing ...all that pain and suffering and no beautiful baby at the end of it!

p.s. yesterday...lunch and a movie with my Mom, Aunt Pat, Sister Mindy and my Nephew Spencer...everyone then went to the movies to see Moma Mia (everyone by Spence....you know no guy wants to see a Chick flick with a bunch of old hens....LOL!

nap time

Thu, 24 Jul 2008 04:19:44 GMT

Do you ever get hope from work and just want to go to sleep....that is the beauty of living alone your time is your time.....I haven't been sleeping well the last 3 nights...my Yorkie Teddy (she has early stages of Kidney disease) keeps waking me up through out the night, sometimes she is hungry sometimes she needs to go outside....anyway the result is not much uninterrupted sleep......tonight I worked late so I missed my turbo bellydancing class (I wasn't going to spend 4 dollars of gas to workout for less than half an hour) so I opted to take a 2 1/2 hour nap, when I laid down I really didn't think I would fall asleep....can you say dead to the world! So all I can tell you is that I'm losing ground this week on shaping up before Yaa Halla Ya'll! One dress rehearsal and class photo down 2 to go....tomorrow I have a private lesson for 2 of the dances that I have to test out on to go qualify to move up to the next level...directly after the private lesson it will be time for the 2nd dress rehearsal and class photo...I'm wearing a different costume and wig in each photo....why look the same in 3 photos in the same year book...keep um guessing or thinking your Crazy! night Diane

More changes to the outfit, will the maddness ever stop!

Happy Sunday to all....Wow what 11 hours of sleep will do for you! I love to sleep in when I have no pressing to do's or to be's. It seems Sundays are the only day that is possible. Belly Dancing is pretty much that main componet of my life this days of course minus work which pays for the pleasure. I really enjoy every aspect of it, the challenge in moving up to the next level, the friends I have met, performing and of course all the great, beautiful, feminine, noisy pieces to a Belly Dancing costume. I'm still losing weight so I'm not really ready to alter the expensive beaded bra and belt set that I bought early in the year.....but it is so fun pulling together the perfect costume, my 2 for August continue to evolve...the skirt I'm wearing is a black chiffon that flows really well, I currently have a pair of harem pants that are black cotton....I bought some black eyelet fabric to make harem pants but I'm considering to buy some black chiffon ....even though they are shear I will have a shawl wrapped around my skirt plus a shimmy belt so my essential have no chance of being seen....plus I will have of course have "unders" on......I think the Chiffon harem pants will be the perfect choice, I wonder chiffon is hard to sew....anyone Know? Saturday I bought a black shawl with gold pastelletes hanging all over it.....the shimmy belt will go on top of it......I think the shawls will add a nice layered effect! I don't know if you remember that I bought a portable DVD player....I'm finally using it .....currently I'm watching the 1st season of the Gilmore Girls....I love the little "Dialogue Zingers" that all through out show. bye for now Diane

Presto Chango

Everyday it seems I'm making changes to the 2 belly dancing costumes for the big performance in August, I was at the Belly Dancing studio late last night...classes are lasting longer in preparation and then I shopped for about 45 minutes trying everything on...so far within the last 7 days I have bought 2 shimmy belts, a longer accent scarf with fringe and a veil. On Saturday I want to get another accent scarf for the 2nd outfit.

I'm getting excited.....Rachel Brice, Zoe Jakes, Aziza, Artimis, Fathem ......etc.will be here and I will be taking their workshops and seeing them perform live....way cool!

Bye for now.....Diane
