I am thinking about getting my nose pierced, but I want to know what I'm in for. I don't have anything pierced besides my ears, but I am enthusiastic - 6 holes in each ear, got 2 in each last time I went for a total of 4 piercings at once. I found the pain totally tolerable, but my nose seems so much thicker and right in the middle of my face. So, to all of you out there on my friends list who I know have 'em pierced, on a scale of 1 to 10 , how was it? initial pain? healing? ever wish you'd never done it??? Please let me know, becaue I'm thinking about doing it soon!! Lots of love!!

Help me WIN!!!!!!!!!

I PASSED!!!!

I am officially Level 1 certified in the Suhaila Salimpour Format!!!! My two dance goals for this year were to perform more and to start in the SS School of Dance, and I have been successful in both!! Special thanks and appreciation to Suhaila! Love and thanks also to Marisa and Audra - without whom I may not have had the guts to even take the test - and all the other lovelies that shared the workshop and testing experiences with us!!!! I look forward to seeing you all again soon!

WE'RE MOVING!!!

Finally..... we sign the lease on Tuesday, and as of September, I will be an official resident of Cincinnati. Our house is in the Western Hills area... only half an hour from our hometown and families... but still inside the loop! Just a windy ride through the trees off the Rybolt exit... we'll be on Devils Backbone. I'm so excited! We've been looking since last May, and this is defintely one of the more expensive homes we looked at, but it's really nice. I think we will be very happy. My husband will not have to drive so far to work and will be able to make it home for dinner more. I hope to be able to dance more!!! I am down to class just one night a week (Tuesday with Anaya Gypsy - yip!) so I have been trying to do practice at home everyday. I will have a nice little dance studio in the downstairs once I get the mirrors up!! I'll have everyone over to get down once we're established as long as someone brings the Neena and Veena dvd!!

I got to see Manman perform twice last weekend!! Once at the Lime Spider in Akron, OH, and once at the Wicker Park Summer Fest in Chicago, IL!! My husband and I had an amazing weekend, and we got to see Bella Fuegas perrform live at a party of theirs in Chicago! Nat took some video at the manman shows, but the sound is very distorted. It was beautiful though!! Manman puts on one of the greatest shows ever!!

Kombucha

"This extremely healthy fermented drink, made by adding a culture from the kombucha mushroom to sweetened tea, is from Russia. The culture transforms the sugar innto many beneficial acids that aid digestion and actually help the liver detoxify. You can either make your own or purchase ready-made kombucha." SWF

I just loved this!
