Cats and Choirs

I had a dream that I owned a cute little baby leopard. The sad part was we kept it in a storage facility. I would come and visit and feed it every day. I also seemed to have kept a little puppy there at times. I am not sure how the two critters got along but that was the end of that dream.

The scene changed to another dream. I was in a choir full of other people that were all different but also all the same. I was to be in a production on a stage where I got to choose whether to be on the dance team or in the choir. I chose to be in the choir. I am not sure why. I guess I thought I would be better at singing than dancing. We preformed on stage then after we got a few credits each to trade for some prizes. There were booklets of stuff to choose from. All kinds of games for different consoles like the Xbox and other things. I was looking through everything and about to chose something when I woke up.

A pretty lame dream but there were lots of colors in it mostly the red of the curtains and the white gold on our choir robes and the gold of the prizes. It was very pretty and the performance was very well done by all the singers and dancers.

Obsticles and Pigs

6.14.2008 Dream

First the dream started out ok with me taking a belly dancing class. I thought I was doing ok until the teacher comes over to me and has me do a hip movement she just demonstrated. The rest of the class was continuing to practice and I tried to copy the teacher's movements. Then she grabbed my arm and yelled at me, "What is wrong with you? It's not like that, it's like this," She did the move she was showing us again. It was a simple push of the hips from side to side, something I can actually do in real life just well. Anyway, she continued to yell at me then stormed off to take care of the rest of the class. I muttered that this should be a ballroom class, I'd be better at it and she overheard then snapped that I should go down the hall to that class instead. I said that I couldn't afford that class and it meets at the wrong time for me. Then we had to do this really weird group move where we pick up the smallest girl in groups of three and swing her around in various different forms. It was my job in my group to catch her legs. I was determined I could do this because I am a big strong girl and should lift her on my won when she spread her legs to late for me to catch her so I fumbles a bit before I could hold on to her but didn't drop her at least. The teacher was furious and stormed out of the room. I tried to do my best.

Then the three of us had to do an obstacle course around this jungle gym that was too small for adults to go down the slides properly. I had to pick her up on my shoulders and she had to get to different points where there was a ball to collect and punching bag to hit, a marker to grab, and a door to go though without hitting her head. The third girl was there to help catch her if she fell off my shoulders and to go over the ground parts of the course.

Then we took a break and all went swimming. I did good with my team so far and spoke about it to some friends. There were boys over by the edge of the pool and they were all my type of good looking (don't you just love those kind of dreams?) and I was shy to go over to talk to them. One of them came over to me and made me feel better. I instantly had a crush on this guy and I think he like me too but I wasn't sure. We had a lot of fun playing in the water. (Don't get the wrong idea here all of you dirty minded people; it was normal play not special play.)

The obstacle course continued and we got near the end where our smaller girl had to climb to the top of this small flat area of the jungle gym we had to all crawl to the end of the plat form and if we stayed the wrong way we got sprayed with a bunch of water. We laughed so hard after getting sprayed so many times! Then we slid down the rope to the end where we were supposed to pick up a small fan type sign with a number on it saying we can get a prize and move on to the next round being handed out by the race master. I almost sank to the floor when I saw the guy from the pool was the race master. He was handing out the winners' signs. He asked one of the passing groups if they remembered to bath the pig. My group looked at each other and smiled, "we forgot to bathe the pig," we said to each other. I looked up at the guy and said to my group, "Stay here and I'll go bathe the piggy." His eyes met mine and we smiled as our eyes locked. Then I woke up.

Hungry and Other Thoughts

So, I am almost walking normal today. My toes are healing nicely. Still hurts though. My tummy is feeling better. I am currently listening to music and I can't wait for lunch because I am hungry. I sent another two letters to Mom and she just got one of them yesterday, and I sent the other one yesterday too. I hope she gets it soon. I don't always remember what I put in those letters but I have them saved and some are the same as this blog so I have at least got records to look at to remind me what I put.

Ok, I am better now. I had a cheeseburger for lunch. Sometimes when I see a blank piece of paper, either on the computer or right in front of me, I feel inspired to create, create, create. I have a thousand ideas for things like plays, books, songs and stuff, but I can't get them out of my head fast enough. I think of them and then they escape me before I can put it down or paper. Then there are times when I think them and I can't break them down or be patient enough to put the pieces together well. Even a rough draft of something seems better than just staring at a blank piece of paper wondering where to start with my ideas. See, I never know when to start. I know what I want to write about but I don't know which one I want to write first.

You know here at work I am capable of so much yet all I have to do is watch a door. Make sure only the right people go past. So for lack of much to do I am allowed to be here on my computer. I am so happy about that but things still get boring. I just hope no one thinks for a moment that I cannot see them. The reflection in the computer monitor tells me what is going on behind me at the door. I can name you ever person that goes in and out as they go in and out of the room I am guarding. Not that I would or anything. I am here for security so I won't tell you anything. Nope you don't get to know a thing about who works here. Sorry folks. But I mean I don't miss a thing and I hope they all know that.

Ouch!

Yesterday was not so good. I woke up and had this pain in my lower tummy like a cramp. It was there all day and is less today but stilll there. Also, I went to the hot tub to try and relieve the pain and when I went to rinse off in the shower I slipped and hurt my right toe and foot. It turned slightly purple and is only pink today but still hurts pretty bad. I can't even wear my normal black shoes at work. I hope they don't mind but i have to wear my slip ons to so I can walk at least some while wearing shoes. So I couldn't do or focus on much yesterday. I am not doing much better today but am at work and have no choice.

The people here at work are very nice. I am so tired. I had some coffee today but I don't think it is working the way it should. Things are better with the music on.

I realized this week that I need more friends around my age group. The thing is that most of those people that are in my age group are not very mature. I need friends that are mature and not so stupid. I think that is why most of my friends are around 40 or 50 years old. You would be surprised how many of them can still be immature and stupid but I like them more because it is a different kind. There is a downside to having old friends. I can't always keep up with all the old movies and shows. The upside is they are willing to tell me about them and teach me things I didn't know before.

Ok well, I was wrong. The pain in my tummy is about the same as before.

Interviews and Bellydancing

Well, I had my interview on Tuesday. I think it went well. I could have held my toung on a few things and said some others but nothing is perfect and I was nervious. The lady was nice. She said is was an Admin job where I would make things more organized and help things to run smoothly if I got the job. I sure hope I do get this job. It would be a nice change from my current job who gives me hardly any hours.

Last night Hubby and I went to a Bellydancing show near Santa Cruz at an interesting place that has a bar, mexican grill, american grill, and a stage. It was a lot of fun. I got to see my teacher perform as well as a few other very good dancers. Twice they opened the floor to us and I got to dance with the rest of the audience people. That was lot of fun too. My teacher said I did good. Hubby said I looked like one of the pros. He said I am able to see it done and copy it almost perfectly. I did not know that was what I was doing but what a nice long day yesterday was.

I hope everything is going well with people on your end.

New Things Going

Hubby and I cooked breakfast together for the first time ever. I know I have cooked for him before and he has for me before but we did this together. I am so happy about it. I made banana pancakes and he made cheezy scrambled eggs. We had milk and orange juice and everything was great on Saturday. I didn't have to work on Saturday so instead we took a rest day. It was much needed. I would like to do so again. I have been working ling and busy days lately. My first pancake was not so good but I kept getting better at it. and Hubby's eggs were perfect!

Yesterday I taught my very second student for the first time. I taught him the Two Step. And on Friday I taught my first student for the first time ever. Everyone starts somewhere. I am so happy I got through it! I was nervious I tell you! I want to do right by my students and I have no idea if I would be any good of a teacher or not. I had to try it to find out. I am glad it went well.

My first student was very very good right off the bat. She had some experience in dance in the past. She took some of the same classes I did in jazz and so on. She said she hadn't danced in two years or so. I couldn't tell. It seemed as if she had been doing this for while. She took off running just like I did when I was 17 and just got started in ballroom myself. a breeze to teach my teacher said. Well so is this girl. I am a lucky teacher but I feel as if she will surpass my abilities as a teacher soon. I am only teaching beginners and she will soon be intermediate.

My second student said that he was really bad and had no real hope of getting any beat of any kind. He really wants to learn and really has the heart for dancing. He led me to believe he would never pick up the beat. He was so wrong. He got the beat just fine. He may have not been able to keep it for long but always got back to it. I even had a bit of trouble when I got tired. I can see why most teachers only give 45 min lessons instead of 55min. I am so really proud of him. He did an actually really great job for a real beginner. Most guys look horrible when they first start out but he really listened to me and got it down when I asked him to fix something. He is getting the technique just fine. I am happy that we both proved him wrong. There is no way he is a hopeless case. I have seen hopeless cases and he is not one by far. Soon he will be twirling me accross the floor.

I also went to bellydancing class again yesterday. It was a lot of fun and a great work out. It is a lot more difficult than I thought it would be. My shoulders do not want to relax enough to move properly.There is going to be a preformance for us to watch on Thursday. I can't wait.

I have an interview tomorrow and I am nervious about that. It is for an Admin job. I have never done it but that is what my degree is in so I should do well. I only hope that the company is lagit and that they like me.

Anyway, I am, ocourse, listening to music at the moment. I have this playlist all set up. I am currently really liking the songe "Baby I'm Amazed By You" by Lone Star. If I spelled any of that right it would be nice.

Yesterday I worked at a hotel in Burlingame and watched a ballroom. It was so boring. I am only glad that I had a book to keep me company.

That's it for now.
