ho ho ho
I love Christmas! We put up our lights and got a big blow up penguin holding a gift. We have some lit up reindeer......some lit up presents, fake little christmas trees with white lights going down the driveway. aannnddd i'm proud to say that our christmas lights are a tribute to "old school christmas". They're not those tiny little colored lights, and they're not (Thank god) those white hanging "icicle" lights. They're the big bright bulbs with a crayola brightness, instead of pastel colors. I love them. Our tree is beautiful....i usually help put it up, but i've been so sick the last few days that mom put it up while i was napping. It's a fake tree, as always....and its all pink ornaments....sounds gaudy but its sooo pretty. It's all the pretty, glass, and victorian ornaments. And we have white lights, and a lavender bow on top. There seems to be more Christmas spirit than there was Halloween spirit. Oh well. Can't have everything. I'm almost done with my shopping. I'm not really buying for a lot of people this year. My bests, and the family. Being single is good for one thing-makes Christmas a whole lot cheaper.
I need all the money I can get right now. My car is in need of repairs. My medical insurance runs up at the end of the year, and I wanna keep money in the back for medical emergencies (never know when those stones are gonna strike). I have to pay for my acting class. I need money for some good headshots. I need money for getting up to the city twice a week for 3 months.
Lucky for me, the bar decided to throw one more "Barmaid/shotgirl go-go rama" before the holidays. It's on the 14th, and I get to dance for the night. Hopefully make some good money. Everyones saying you make like 700-800 at this thing. I can't wait to try my pole tricks,lol. "I'm gonna spend my 15 minutes on stage at the top of that pole like a koala, and just wave and blow kisses to people". I'm meeting up with Jess (one of the bartenders) tomorrow and we're going into Elizabeth to buy some hooker heels and other outfits. I'm doing a 7-2 shift, so i'll have 7 sets. I'm really liking my work at the bar. I hate selling the shots...they're girly drinks and everyone knows it. Guys usually just buy them for me to drink, so I can make some money. But I'm really good at the massages...least thats what everyones telling me. I've got customers that come in and won't let anyone else massage them. I've got dancers that come to me for massages every shift. It's cool. The money's really inconsistent though. I've made as much as 340 and as little as 90...depends on the shift, the crowd, my outfit,lol. Rule of thumb: the less you wear, the more money you make. It's pretty simple. Overall though, its good money...considering i work 2 nights a week for 6 hours each, and basically drink, talk to people, listen to music, flirt. I've made some cool friends, and I like the 2 managers I work with.
Other than that....I've been chilling. I'm getting sort of unofficial acting lessons from a couple of people who took me under their wing. I really can't wait for my acting class...its going to be rough, going up to the city 2 nights a week and having to find time between every rehearsal to meet up with my partner (wherever they might live) and practice. It's going to be such a challenge, but I'm up for it.
We had our Bush Open House for the 07 season and it went pretty well. Attendance was great....31 there for the colorguard, which is awesome for an open house. Having Wendy's beforehand helped the time go a little quicker. I was a little rusty cuz I hadn't spun in 3 months (which is the longest I've ever gone without picking up my sabre). I did better than I thought I would though. We did a pulse exercise that was almost exactly like the ones we used to do in Phoenix,and the ones I now do almost every night. I've also been doing the famous Curtis's Cadet Crunches. Those things KILL. But they work. I'm getting happy with my abs again.
I don't have much else to say. Take care everyone, come see me dance on the 14th, if you can. Contact me for directions if you need them.
