Sell Out??

Been in beauty school for 2 months now right? Ok, so far I have "checked out"(passed in class w/ hands on training, also known as practicals) on face waxing (brow, chin, lip, cheeks, neck), leg waxing, brow tinting, facials, back facials and water manicures and pedicures.

With that being said, we are allowed to practice at home. But i want to "practice" on friends and family. I do want to make a lil' money doing services but if state board finds out I'm doing this at home (and how would they find out?) without license, I wont get my license at all, but at the same time, i need all the practice I can get.

What U guys think?

Back to School

Hey Y'all!!!!!!!!!

Tons going on right now, listening to Gospel right now, lifting myself up :)

Me and a few friends have come together to choreograph for a show coming up, and its awesome so far!!!!! We have since then become a troupe! Something for fun! Its so awesome to have freinds! If u would like to see us perform, visit my site for details, www.freewebs.com/jaeweb. The events is labeled Unity House Fundraiser.

Last weekend we had a craft night. One of the girls is making me a tribal belt and i am loving it! Details are not quite finished yet but so far so awesome! I had her leave it with me cuz I used it in a fundraiser this past weekend, which was awesome by the way! We made good money for the organization :) Couldnt have done it without me friends!

I started school monday and I am loving it!!!! i am going for nails and esthetics! I am the only newbie in my program, so all the seniors love using me as their guinea pig to practice for state board! And i am not complaining!!!! And as a student, all services are FREE!!! Cant beat that!!!

Well off for now, need a nap before practice tonight :)

More to come when it happens!

L8terz!

Phoenix heat!

A lot has happened since my visit here!!! We arrived Sat, June 18th, and went right to work cleaning grandma's old house. We finished that on wednesday. Thursday st. vincent de paul came to pick up all the "goodwill" stuff and friday the movers came and took all the stuff we are bringing back to cincy. We also had a cleaning lady come in and clean the house, and it sparkles!!!! Friay afternoon, the real estate man came and put the "for sale" sign up out front.

Sat we went to Jerome AZ. It was soooo lovely!! Its about an hour and 1/2 north of Phoenix. Its a tiny town on a mountain! While browsing the shops, i found`a bellydance store!!!! Such lovely costumes! I found one i really wanted, but cant afford it, so i took a pic of it, i will post all pics when i return from Phoenix. We then went to a friend's cabin in Flagstaff. It was just the thing we needed! Perfect 75 degrees, wind blowing through the pine trees, the forest smell....
Sunday we went to the grand canyon. My dumb butt forgot my camera that day!!!!! Grrr!!!!
Monday we came back to Phoenix, and could see the "Cave Creek Complex" wildfire just west of the interstate. it has burned over 125,000 acres in 8 days now and is only 25% contained.....

Monday the house sold!!! So quick!!! You can see the smoke from the fire northwest of Phoenix.

Today, i met up with an old friend and went mall hopping. While out, another wildfire broke out west of Phoenix, the smoke is now intering city limits. Though it isnt on the ground, it is drifting towards the valley. There are 5 wildfires burning right no in Arizona, all started by lighting strikes. It is very dry out here, only 6% humidity right now, and a lot of dry landscape!!!!

I will write more when i have time, but arms are tired, im on a laptop.

Love u all!!!!!

I'm a Big Girl Now!

..Literally....

I have gained 20 lbs sinceDecember. i havent been working, cant find a decent job, and havent been excersizing like im supposed to. But lately I have been busier than usual. I dont feel like ive gotten bigger, and i dont see it, but its what the scale is screaming at me.

Prom was 3 weeks ago, and it was a blast! I performed a tribal number, and a caberet number. I made good mulah! Visit my photo's page to see pics.

This week has been busy. I've been cleaning house because we will have out of town company this weekend. My grandmother's memorial service is Saturday so a cousin is flying in from Baltimore to be present.

Tonight, a documentary, "American Bellydancer" was supposed to be playing at the Esquire in Clifton. It didnt happen. So we went to Skyline instead. Then to Graeter's. Then to her house to glimps at some of her costumes. She let me borrow her Tribal Fusion Belly Dance DVD by Rachel Brice. So this will whip me into shape!

I'm off to bed, hopefully i will write in the near future! ¡Felis Cinco de Mayo!

Night all!

Home!!!

Ahh, its good to be back on land! I'm sore, and tired. Around 7 tonight, I returned home from Phoenix, Arizona. 2 weeks ago, my grandmother went back into the hospital for the second time in 2 weeks. So she asked that we fly out there to see her. So we did. Last minute of course. She isnt doing well. In fact she will probably go any day now. Her last wish was to see me and my brother, and now she has. She has emphezema, among other things. That was the biggest reason we flew out.

* My mother flew into Phoenix Sunday Morning. Me and my brother flew out today. Our plane took off from Cincinnati @ 7:02am. We landed in Detroit about 8:20. We were only in the air 37 minutes so i am confused on how it took over an hour to get there if we were only in the air for 37 minutes.... Anyway, we grabbed some McDonald's then boarded our next flight from Detroit to Phoenix @ 9:45am. We arrived in Phoenix @ 11:44am(1:44pm Cincinnati time). After landing, we settled @ a friend of my mom's house. We then visited grandma in the hospital and had cupcakes and ice cream to celebrate my belated birthday. We visited for about 2 hours.

* Another beautiful day, mid 70's and suny. We went back to the hospital and visited my grandmother. Around 4 or so, me and my brother met up with an old friend of mine I havent seen in 8 years! We reminiced, went to Arrowhead Mall, then to Metro Center. She then dropped us off around 9pm. Leave it to me to forget to get a picture with her!

* Back to the hospital. Grandma is doing a little better. Breathing is still short though her voice has improved a little bit. After that we went back to our old neighborhood and saw some old neighbors. We chatted for a bit. Then we went to Grandma's house to get some things. She will never get will enough to move back in. She has seen the las of this house... Around 8pm we watched the Incredibles forthe first time. I liked it, but not the best I've ever seen.
- Thursday, March 24, 2005
* Today is Josh's 21st Birthday, although I am not home to tell him happy birthday, so I will text it to him. Today Grandma was moved to Glencroft Center. This will be the last major move she makes.
- Friday, March 25, 2005
* Good Friday. Grandma was very tired, so we didnt stay long. We went to Good Friday services at the old church we used to go to. It hasnt changed since we left.
- Saturday, March 26, 2005
* We went to Glencroft twice today. This is the last day we will see our grandmother, possibly forever. She got to see me and my brother one last time, she is happy. Its hard to believe we will never see her again. We packed our things and went to bed.
- Sunday, March 27, 2005
* We got up bright and early. Our flight to Detroit left arround 10:30am(12:30pm Cincy time). Landed in Detroit around 4:20pm. Our flight left at 5:05pm and landed in Cincinnati at 6:40pm. What a week. Glad to be back on the ground!!!

Hello again!

A lot has gone on since my last posting... Apparently Bed Bath & Beyond didnt need any new employees because i have yet to hear from them, and the 2 times I did call, they brushed me off, so, I'm just going to keep looking.

Recently, my grandmother in Arizona has been in and out of the hospital. So today she called my mother and wants to see us. So we are flyin out Monday, March 21, the day after my birthday. But of course I havent been there in 8 or 9 years so I will be visiting other friends and visiting places i havent been to since I left. From what I hear its changed a lot since I havent been there. I wont have any connections to the internet while Im there so, I wont be able to reply to any email until I get back in town.

Sunday is my 21th birthday! Happy Birthday to me! I will go to my youth group, then we go to TGI Friday's and then onto Jacob's for karaoke. Thats going to be my birthday. Then I will be on a plane to Phoenix....

Time for bed. I will write back when I am home and tell you all about my time spent in AZ. Love of love!
