during this recent phase of my dance life i've been fortunate enough to cross paths with some wonderful people. this past saturday one was laid to rest while another started a new life.
normally, i don't do death. i've only ever been to one funeral in my life and i don't look forward to having to attend more. but i felt compelled to attend miss v's wake, not only to accompany my sister but to show my appreciation for who she was - a woman dedicated to helping others. she was diagnosed with cancer earlier this year - too late for much to be done about - and was only 31. the many lives she touched during her time was made apparent by the long, winding queue outside the funeral home.
later in the day, the receptionist at the dance school got married. only 19! she left for florida the day after to live and attend school. i'm going to miss her being around but i wish her all the best with her new life.

since last we spoke...
...i've lost at total of 10.5lbs and my booty is rounder. all that kicking and stuff has made it a bit more firm. awwww yeahhhhh © barry & lavon. my sister called me muscle butt. sizzle, sizzle. speaking of muscle butts, have you seen janet on this season's antm? i'm enamored with her booty. i can't find a picture so you're gonna have to watch the show to see for yourself.
...i celebrated my thirtymumbled birthday.
and i actually got gifts!
...i got my hair cut (and colored). i was bored and it was long overdue. it's asymmetrical and reddish brown now.
...i got to test drive the new c-class mercedes.
luxury driving was always a concept that eluded me (ironic considering the amount of time i spend behind the wheel). it never dawned on me that i could have a car where i didn't feel every pothole or roll back on hills. the first one i drove was navy with tan leather interior and it was just okay. the second one though was black on black with a sunroof...just damned sexy! if i could afford it (and the overhead) i'd buy one with no hesitation.
...i've finished the first four harry potter books. i'm not looking forward to reading the 5th because the movie make me feel some kind of way and i know the book is much more in depth. plus i'll probably only read it at home because it's too heavy to be lugging around with me.
...i bought four new tires for laverne. hopefully she won't need anything else anytime soon.
...i attended my ex-roomie's bridal shower. it was a lingerie brunch so i got her a white nightie and a whip. it went over well and i want one of my own (the whip, not the nightie). the wedding is this wknd and i’m kinda sorta excited about it.
...i had the best salsa EVER at this spot called tequilas in philly. i mean, it was so fresh and the taste was so clean. as much as i like mexican food i barely eat salsa; i usually just dip my chips in the juice. but the tomatoes omg they were perfect. i also had a raspberry margarita (on the rocks) that was bomb. yum yum yummy.
things have been a bit confluffled around these parts so i really haven't had a lot of time blog. rashad called me out so i felt obligated to update. so *wikki wikki wikki wikki wikki wikki wikki wikki wikki wikki wikki wikki wik THERE IT IS!*

wedding bells
yesterday i received a save the date card informing me that my college roommate is getting married in the fall. after screaming omg for a few minutes (out of both shock and excitement) i logged on to check out their wedding website. it's a really cute site but i couldn't help but feel sad after viewing it. there's a quiz on there about the couple and there are well wishes from ppl who know them as a couple. i don't know them as a couple. i have no idea where they met, what they like to do, how good they are for each other. i dunno, i guess mostly i'm sad that i'm not a part of her life like that anymore.
anyway, this makes wedding number 3 that i'll be attending this year: one in june, one in august, and this one in october. i'll finally be able to put those dresses in my closet to good use!
