Got a new car!

Check out my new ride:

It's a Dodge Nitro ( 1 year old...that's practically new to me )

This is our third car...and my daughter can't seem to grasp the concept of three cars.

To her, mom has a car, dad has a truck, and now we have another one....so guess who's it is? She says it's hers. She gets mad if dad drives it to work, she gets mad if it is moved to the street, and she gets mad if I don't let her play inside of it for at least one hour a day.

Yeah she loves her car...I wish it was mine :)

Family....always!

Here's some fun pics of my strange, yet lovable family:

Earlier this month, I told my husband that our pool needed to be vacuumed out...but it was only 60 degrees out side, and much too cold to get in the water. So he came up with his own solution:Yeah...he's a dork :)

But a cute dork.

Here's some darling pics of my baby girl...I could just squish her head off she's so cute!

Last weekend, we went on a boating trip with my dad and my brothers. I love boating. Mostly I love tubing, but this year, my favorite tube popped (I never flipped over)....so I need to get a new one before I'll go back out into the water.

(Don't pay attention to the photo of my tattoo...it belonged in my other post but I can't seem to delete it)

Anyway, that's all for tonight.

Lot's of stuff to cover

Let's get right to the fun stuff. Here's some new pics of me and my pole studio. Two of the pics are of me on the pole, and the last is a picture of a class called "Fantasy Dress Up". The theme for the class this week was "Hawaiian Hottie".

And, for those of you who don't know, my cousin Jenny will be on the T.V. show "Intervention". I put her name in for the show in February and they picked her. She went to rehab and ran away...but she is still trying to get clean. The latest in the drama is the fact that she is now pregnant. But I love her anyway, and I hope that she will stay clean for the baby's sake. Our family told her that if she ever got clean, we would get a tattoo to match her four leaf clover that she got when she was a teenager. So, she's clean, and we got tattoo's.

This is my cousin Jodi (Jenny's sister) getting her tattoo.

This is me getting mine. (Yeah I was blonde for about four days)

Anyway, that's the fun stuff going on in my world right now.

P.S. After we got tattoo's, my cousin disappeared for several days. She says she's clean, but I don't think so :( If she doesn't get clean, the State will take away the child when it is born...and she will go to prison. I know because it happened to another family member.

But, I try not to dwell :)

Sexy Photo Shoot

Okay everyone...I will never tell what happened at amature night. You'll just have to dream :)

But I will say that I recently had a sensual photo shoot done. And it was awesome! In a sensual photo shoot you are allowed to dress up in lingerie, pasties, thongs, or nothing at all :). Click here to see some of my pics: http://www.schoolofsexy.com/

Go to photos and then click on sensual photo shoots. Can you guess which pictures are of me? I'll give you a hint: There are 6.

Anyway, it was really fun and I got some good pics to give my hubby. It cost $99...and it was totally worth it.

Other than that, my naughty vixen is staying inside.

Last night, I choreographed the most amazing lyrical piece I've ever done. It was to a song called "Better than me". I will video tape it and post it here tomorrow....promise. It gives me the chills when I dance it.

Watch "So you think you can dance" tonight to see who gets eliminated. My favorites are Twitch and Comfort:

Finally a new post

Okay, this post is for my sister Tina who thinks I don't blog enough.

So....I own a pole dancing studio right? Right.
Women take pole dancing lessons right? Right.

Well, this one particular woman decided that she wanted to take her new skills to a more professional level....amature exotic dancing. So she decided to pick her birthday to do such a thing. I marked the date on the calendar...found a baby sitter...and invited my husband to go along for the ride.

So last night, we went to go see my student do amature night. I know 90% of the strippers who work there, so it wasn't a surprise that my husband was wanting to be introduced to all of the girls.

Anyway, it was "Paradise's" turn to dance (that was the stage name she gave herself). Keep in mind, she's a very large woman with cellulite, stretch marks and saggy boobs. But, strip clubs have this magical thing called a "black light". It erases everything.

So she performed...it was kind of terrible. She was moving way too fast and kept doing the same three moves over and over. It seemed like the song would never end. Her husband was there to support her...she mainly danced for him. She didn't take off any clothes. She was actually very covered up.

After she danced, all the dancers talked me into going to the back room to "talk". They tried to talk me into doing amature night too because one of the dancers had split her foot open on one of those magical "black lights". So there were only four girls left to work the whole night...forcing each dancer to dance every four minutes or so. So, the more dancers and amatures they had...the better.

While trying to talk me into dancing, they showed me cute costumes, gave me a stage name "pixie" ( I have short hair). They even explained the rules:

1. Don't grab your ass
2. Don't come within four inches of your vagina
3. Don't reach off the stage for a dollar bill
4. Don't grab your breasts
5. Don't take your clothes off (amatures must dance fully clothed)

These sounded like pretty reasonable rules. I wouldn't have to take off any clothing, I wouldn't have to touch myself...just show off my pole moves. But, in the end, I didn't dance...or did I?

There you go Tina. Let your mind wander :)

Too many tears

Hello everyone!

I hope you had a wonderful Mother's Day. Mine was fantastic minus all of the freaking tears.

We woke up late and I made breakfast. My mother-in-law was kind enough to give me the secret family recipe and my husband bought me the necessary kitchen tools to make them. My first ten totally sucked, but the last three were great :)

Anyway, we stayed in the house for a while and watched some movies. I can't remember what the first one was, but I cried so hard. Oh wait! It was Reservation Road. If you want to cry many tears, get it.

Then my daughter and I went to my mom's to wish her a happy Mother's Day. She gave me a gift certificate for dirt (rock, topsoil, mulch) and some belly button rings. My brothers and I went in on an i-pod for her. She called it a walk man when she opened it. Funny !

Then I decided to take a trip to my cousin Jessica's. I walked in the door and Jenny was at the top of the steps. (FYI Jenny was on meth, went on t.v.show Intervention, went to rehab, dropped out). So this was the first time that I had seen her since the Intervention. It was sad.

I got to witness her giving her mom a mothers day gift. She gave her an unwrapped rechargable flash light. It was used. But she was very sincere, and I could tell that it was all she could do. It broke my heart. The old Jenny would have hand crafted something from wood, metal, fabric, and paint. Wrapped it up in something beautiful presented with a card.

But the new Jenny isn't capable of that anymore. She is still on drugs, but I think her new mental status comes from too much Meth and Heroine. Even if she gets clean, I think her brain has suffered too greatly. She is gone.

So on my car ride home, I sobbed for her. I truly feel sorry for her. At the Intervention, I told her that if she didn't get clean, I wouldn't speak to her any longer. Well, I just don't think I can do that. I believe Jenny is now mentally declining and she will eventually die from her disease. So I am going to make every effort to spend time with her.

I feel kind of lucky. It's as if I have warning of her death. I get to tell her all the things that I want. I get to cherish the moments with her knowing that they may be the last.

Anyway....so it was a sad afternoon.

Then I came home and watched another awfully sad show called "P.S. I love you". Oh my god, I thought the first show was bad, but this one was a doozy. I have never cried so hard over a movie in my life. If you are married to someone you love with all of your heart, you need to rent this show.

Balancing work and family

It's so hard to balance my dance studio with my family! My husband has cleaned my house the past two Saturday's. I felt like a failure. I only made two home made dinners this week. We have spent so much money on fast food...it's ridiculous!

But hopefully all of that is behind me. I've been so busy this last month because I've been redecorating my dance studio. See the new place:

But it doesn't compare to this:

I kind of lost myself this past week, but hopefully this Mothers's Day Weekend will pull me back down to earth :)

Happy Mothers Day everyone!
