I love my husband

We just had some pretty good make up......oops did I say that out loud? Anyway the fighting has ceased. I am going to stop hanging out with my friends so much and minimalize my clubbing. I think that should do the trick. I am pretty sure that we'll be together forever. I can't imagine life without him.

Can I just say that pole dancing does wonders when put to use in the bedroom? Okay...I promise that I will never talk nasty again on my blog.

Have a happy Thanksgiving!!!

Accepted!

My offer for the dance studio space has been accepted!!! As of next week, I will be the owner of a $2000/month lease (not including utilities). So yeah, I'm excited and terrified at the same time.

This studio had better be a big hit....that's right Utah....get used to the idea of pole dancing for exercise. (We also offer break dancing, hip hop, ballet, jazz, cabaret, and kick boxing). But, I'm banking on the fitness pole dancing to bring in the bulk of the $$.

I'm going to have to break down and buy a digital camera so I can show you my progress on the studio. Right now, it's got nasty office carpet, italy inspired wall murils, and something nasty growing on the toilet (just kidding).

Anyway, if you live in Utah and you would like to try a class or two, go to my website www.danceogden.com .

If you have any suggestions for what makes a good business or a dance studio, I would love to hear them.

Best decision of my life

Today, I was reminded of a decision that I made when I was 16. This decision changed the course of my life forever....and I'm glad that I made it. I gave my baby boy up for adoption to a great family so that he could have stability and love....and I could properly function as a teenager and discover who I am.

Today, my best friend called me to tell me that she doesn't want to be a mom anymore. When she was pregnant she planned to also place her baby for adoption. At the last minute (2 hours before placement) she kept the baby with a little help from her controlling mother.

Well, all parties involved have respected her choice without ever saying " told you so". When she called me today to tell me about how frustrated she was with her child and her new lifestyle, I didn't say "I told you so". Instead, I took a big breath and thanked god that I had made the decision to give my baby to a family who had the love, patience, and money for him. Because at 16, I surely couldn't have been half the parent that his new mommy and daddy are.

I see the frustration in my friends eyes. She longs for financial stability, dating, and all of the freedoms that come when you are a single woman without baggage.

Don't get me wrong, I respect single mothers and I do everything I can to help her, but I am so glad that I chose the road less traveled...because it made all the difference.

If you have an adoption story, I would love to hear it.

My husband is driving me crazy!

In case you dont know, I'm getting ready to open up and adult only dance studio. Well, in doing that, it requires that I higher employees. Well, I hired a new employee to teach the men's breakdancing course. My husband is wildly jealous.

He is smothering me. The new employee called me today because we have a photo shoot tomorrow for a new marketing ad. He just wanted to know what time. By the time I had gotten off of that phone call, my husband pretty much decided that he wanted a divorce.

There's a popular radio host, Dr. Laura, who says that the person you want to marry at 20 isn't the same person you will want to marry at 25. Well, she's right. I married a jealous, controling, hot headed man who just happens to be a wonderful dad. I don't know what to do, but I can't go on like this and follow my lifes passion at the same time. Do I give up this thing called dance or do I stand up for myself and the new person I've become and tell him to get lost?

Update: I get like with my husband a lot. A day has passed and I have realized that I have been ignoring him. So, we made peace. I love that man.

Dance Dance Dance

Nobody understands me....so I will tell you about my dance addiction.
I love to dance!

1. If I go a week without clubbing, I go crazy
2. I can not go a day without getting on my pole
3. I will do pirouettes until I throw up
4. I sit in front of my t.v. in my splits (can't waist time)
5. Constantly looking on youtube.com for dance videos
6. Is there a chicken soup for the dancers soul?
7. I have the word "dance" tattooed to my foot
8. I love to watch "So you think you can dance".
9. I scuz girls off in the club who only know how to do one thing: Shake their bum in guys crotches.
10. My husband doesn't understand me....It might end up causing a divorce.

Nipples and Needles

For anyone who ready my previous posting "How I spent my sabbath", you would know that I went with my best friend to get her nipples pierced. Well, here's how it went.

First, she told the receptionist what she wanted and the lady was so loud. She couldn't have possibly said any louder "Hey Jason! This lady wants her nipples pierced....how much?!!!"

Anyway, the guy was very cute and he was a former emergency room nurse....so he had seen everything and Steph's boobies weren't anything he hadn't seen.

He drew lines on her nipple, clamped them down, and then had her take 3 breaths and then he put the needle in. It looked pretty painful....but I imagine that it's just like your earlobe, just anohter dangley piece of skin on your body right?

Anyway, they actually looked good and I'm a little jealous that my "A" cup ladies don't have any bling bling.

She's in pain today, but she'll get over it.

How I spent the sabbath

"Hello."
"Meg....it's me, Steph"
"What's up?"
"I want my nipples pierced."
"....................."
"Hello?"
"Um....okay"
" I want you to go with me and hold my hand"
"Sure....I guess I'll go"
"I'll be there in 20 minutes"
"K bye"
"Click"

So, I am now waiting for my best friend Steph to come get me so we can go get her nipples pierced. I shouldn't have taken her to the strip club two nights ago. (We only went to scout new teachers for my pole dancing class).

Anyway...I will report back will all of the painful details.

I found it!

As many of you know, I have been searching for a place of business to lease for my adult only dance studio. Well, I found it and it's perfect. I has two floors that will allow me to do pole fitness on one side and regular dance classes on the other.

Anyway, I'm very excited!

Lesson relearned

Okay...so if you read my rant and rave yesterday, you would know that I have some explaining to do.

Yes, I was very mad at that particular parent, yes she is very nasty to me. But you know what? I forced myself to get in the car with her for the two hour drive to Nephi for the competition and you know what???...we had fun! She told me her point of view about how I run the drill team. After talking with her, I can see where maybe I could have handled things differently with a couple of the girls.

Her main thing is that she doesn't want the girls to be pampered princesses (birthday parties at school, overly decorated locker room, lavish gifts, lavish meals). She just wants the team to do well at competition and she doesn't think that vanity should have any part in that....and I totoally agree. So, tonight at the parent meeting (planned weeks ago), I will talk about these things.

Anyway, I just feel a lot better today.

Oh and on a better note: An experienced pole dancer called me yesterday. She is interested in the position that is open at my studio for the pole fitness class. I have seen her dance before and she is amazing.
If any of my readers are in Utah, you need to come check out the studio. Go to my website for all the info: http://www.danceogden.com/

Denist visit from HELL!

Okay, if you thought the tanning bed incident was bad (scroll down a couple of days) then you have to hear how my dentist appointment went today.

1st - I get there 20 minutes early and wait for 50 minutes before my name is called

2nd - Of course I had a cavity! AAGH. You know those people who say "Well I've never had a cavity...I'm perfect"...yeah well I say shut up. I always have a cavity

3rd - I could hear the receptionist talking about patients behind their back after they left. So I'm left to wonder if she'll do the same when I leave.

4th - He gave me 4 shots in my mouth to get me numb and it didn't work. I felt the drilling so I told him. He gave me three more shots and then went to the bathroom.

5th - The dentist didn't come back for 30 minutes. By that time, my mouth wasn't numb anymore, so he had to give me 4 more shots to renumb it. AAAGHHH!

6th - The poor guy didn't eat anything all day, I could hear his belly growling just inches from my head.

7th - He decided to "disinfect" the inside of my cavity with some sort of bleach. It smelt like the bleach I wash my clothes with.

8th - He spilt 3-4 drops of bleach in my mouth. Before I could react, my throat was on fire. Unfortunately, he was in the middle of something important with my cavity, so I didn't get to rinse for about 15 minutes.

9th - When it was all finished, I sat up in my chair and it was completely dark outside

10th - The place had been closed for over an hour by the time I left.

Last - It was a 4 hour appointment for a stupid cavity.

I have a super numb lip still (it's been about 3 hours since my appointment). I guess it's understandable since I got shot 10 times!!! And, my throat is still recovering from having bleach poured down it.

But, he was a very nice man and for some reason......I will go back and see him next time I need a check up. :)

10. And of course....MONEY!

Held hostage by the tanning bed

Okay...

So today I went for my usual weekly check up at the local tanning bed. Everything was normal, exept for the boy standing behind the teenage girl at the counter. I didn't think anything of it and I went about my usual routine. I paid, went in my room, locked the door, got undressed and put my tanning lotion on.

So I lay down and turn the music on. I always go for 20 minutes and I can usually sense that the lights are going to turn off. Well, about 18 minutes into it, I start to feel the heat. I'm thinking that it's going to turn off any second so I don't get out or turn on the fan...because it's going to end soon right? WRONG! I sat in there for another 3-4 minutes before turning on the fans....another couple of minutes go by and the tanning bed is still on, so I lift up the top and lay there waiting for it to end. It doesn't. So I wait another couple of minutes before I finally got off of the bed to check the time on my phone.

I had been in there for 32 minutes!!! What in the hell had happened?

So I get dressed and walk to the front counter....guess what? Nobody is there but you know what is there? A moaning sound coming from the back office. I listen closer and ......yep! She's having sex with her boyfriend. She set the timer extra long so that I wouldn't come out and catch them doing the dirty!

So now I am fried like a chicken...but hey, I have a good story right?

My boring blog

Okay...so I still don't have a camera so my blog is so full of words and no pics. I am terribly sorry, but the dance studio has been taking all of my money and time so I can't possibly find the time or the money to buy one.

Anyway, I went and researched a couple of places to lease for my adult only dance studio and it was kind of disappointing. If it wasn't expensive, it was a bad location...if it was a good location, it was super expensive.

So, right now we're thinking of either selling the house and building one with a studio in the basement, or continuing the search for the perfect building to lease. I know that I need to take that leap, but I am very scared for myself and my family.

Does anyone have any advice for me?
