Wow, very nice. Never been to the New England states. Maybe some year.
I collected a bunch of pictures of lit candles I sent to someone a little at a time for their birthday. I have plenty. Let me put some up next to tub, run that hot bath with just the right amount of smelly stuff (bubble bath) and leave you a nice glass of wine (or Starbucks if you would rather) and how about a nice book. That ought to do it.
One of my fave movies is Trading Places. The movie itself is pretty good. I am a sucker for happy endings but it is because I know someone that helped in the office on that movie and her name is in the credits. Nothing big but it makes it a little special. Other ones that are special are ones that feature scenes of the Detroit area as I grew up near Detroit and worked there for over 6 years. I bet having a movie about the home town is super.
Waves hand
ummm what kind of dancer.
Well someone had to ask.
RUSH is a movie I cant watch.
I tried, i was invited to the theater and sat there staring at my feet with sweat dripping off my face, soaking the floor.
To close to the past.
Tagged hmmmm ok i accept. :)
Have a nice weekend
*slaps Walker* It is not nice to ask
those question in public, you are to
ask them in private. Did I not teach
you anything?
Never mind we all know that answer--
I'm just pissed off because he asked
what I wanted to ask you Tammi.
Thanks for the visit and comments,
seeing you have linked me, you are
also linked.
See you later :)
Barman*Yippers,I loved the New England area.I really have to say though,the differences in being up north and being in Texas are sooooo different!I didn't see snow while I lived there(bummer),but the weather was just awesome!Too bad that relationship with the guy from there didn't work out.Now that I think back on how good he was to me,I could kick myself in the a---!He was a keeper,but I was too wild and left him to be single and party.OMG,that was back in my really stupid days.Oh,and I love that movie Trading Places too!It's one of those I can watch more than a few times.
Walker*I wish I could say a ballerina,but that would be a really big lie.I quit doing hair to work at a place called Midnight Lace.Yup,I was amazed when I realized I was making more in one night than it took me all week to make(most of the time).Midnight Lace was even a small place,then I thought I was moving UP when I went to work at Time Out and in Dallas...but all that life did for me is give me too much access to things that were against the law,as most of my money went up my freakin' nose.That's been a while back,but I prefer to live away from Tyler because of so many people recognizing the OLD ME.My stage name was Haley and since Tyler isn't as big as Dallas or Houston,you'll run into people you know all the time,and that's a bummer when your trying to leave that person behind.BUT GOSH I MISS THAT MONEY!lol
Ms Vicki*You just tickle me to death.Poor Walker,getting slapped for asking that.(giggle).It's nothing to brag about...well,maybe the money is.ha ha...but the lifestyle was such a big mess.I knew only a handful of dancers that took their money to the bank to save while going to college etc...but alot of us...noticed I said "us",spent too much money on drugs most of the time,leaving someone like me with one big guilt trip.I had to wear many faces in those days.It's nice to just be ME and work a morally acceptable job.I'm not knocking any dancers of course...but in my situation,I fell prey to the wrong stuff.Most people think we slept around for money,and that's not true.I made enough at work and would have been an awful hoe if I had to do THAT after dancing in 5 inch heels all night.ha ha...
I have one daughter that just graduated high school and is going to college this coming semester.My other daughter decided to take the same road I did,and she dances in a big town a few hours away,and I'm so mad at myself for exposing her to all that.Everyone says to stop blaming myself,but c'mon....I don't believe she would be dancing if I hadn't exposed her as a child.She doesn't have the addictive personality that I had/have(thank goodness),but I would swear her addiction is on the money.When I had a big talk w/ her about this(on a Wednesday),she throws $400 on the table and asked me where else can she make that kind of money on a Tuesday night(the night before).That's a point I can't arguement with.I made that same arguement to my Dad back when I danced.
anyways...maybe a better word would have been "stripper".lol....but that word was so taboo back then.Old habits are hard to break,I guess.
I love your blog.All my faves seem like such "normal" down to earth people,compared to my not-so-normal life.(grin)
I am sorry for your experience dancing. I know I have seen many dancers that seemed to be so out of it and I suspected that were high on something but not everyone. Look at Brighton for instance. She seemed to do much better with it when she was dancing.
I will not look down on you for what happened. You did what you had to and you were able to get away from it too. And when your daughter started dancing you did what you needed to then too. You had a talk you probably would rather not have had but you did anyway. At least she will be doing this eyes wide open. Hopefully things go better for her and also hopefully she has the sense to get out after a while. Even though it is more accepted now there will always be those that look down on it and lets face it once you get to old there is no place for you any more.
I have a hell of a lot of respect for you Tammi. You have had a tough life but you are making a go of it. You have moved beyound the things you felt were wrong in your life. Your daughters still talk to you so you must have done something right.
Barman*I'm having a hard time holding my swollen head up to type(giggle).
Thanks for understanding.I wish everyone thought like you and had the same values that you have.Dancers sure do get a bad rap...but one thing I forgot to mention that dancing DID do for me.It brought out the shy,self conscious,SERIOUS low self esteem I had growing up.I couldn't take a "You are so pretty" compliment to save my life.Even though people may say "well,it was just drunks that told you how pretty your body and face were"...I think that's just crap.because not everyone that tipped me even drank alcahol.They drank cokes .It helped bring me out of that wall I had built around me,especially when actual model scouts gave me high marks and business cards to follow up.
I've aged.It's inevitable,and sure I have a few regrets for not getting a degree in something besides a Barber License...but it's never too late they say.My last relationship and my girls forced me to choose to quit college or him.HE didn't say that...but I had a hard time swinging 2 girls in school and cheerleading,me working fulltime and overloaded myself with college hours.So I made a choice to drop something...and I obviously couldn't drop my job...so BIG BUMMER.I would have my degree now if I would have stuck it out.
anyways....enough w/ the should-a could-a would-a mess.I gotta repack.3 big bags of gowns and curling iron,blowdryer stuff is not needed.I better lessen the load.My roomie says I'm not going to a fashion show.LOL
