Home on a saturday night...

I was going to Denton to have dinner with my sis Brittany and get my hair cut but she ended up having to work late so I decided to stay home and relax. Tuesday night my mom, tommy, and I went to dinner with Ashley and Andy then went to Rockin Rodeo to see Mike acoustic. Just like most acoustic shows, I had a great time. The new songs were great, it was nice to hear some old songs like "Back of my Mind" and I of course liked the covers he did, "Lord I Hope This Day Is Good" and "La Cienega Just Smiled." Not much else to say about that show, but I think an acoustic show was exactly what I needed.  We got home around 2:30 and work the next morning wasn't fun, but it was well worth it.

 

Thursday was my mom's birthday so after work we went to dinner and then I left and went to meet Kelly in Grapevine to see Rob Baird and No Justice. Another good night with great friends. It's always an interesting night when we are at the Gaylord and Thursday was no exception. The bands were great I got to see several people that I hadn't seen in awhile. I ended up leaving pretty early (okay not early, but earlier than everone else) and got home around 2:30 again. Lesson of the week...I can't go out during the week and stay out past 2 and still function. Work yesterday was worse than work on Wednesday. I guess that explains why I am okay with staying home this weekend.

  

I am still negotiating a hours and pay with the dance studio so hopefully I can work something out and have job in the next few days!

Less than 1 week until NYC!!!!

Dance...

I've been dancing since I was 3. I've taken a few breaks over the years because of injuries and college, but I honestly can't imagine my life without dancing. I have always wanted to have my studio one day, but right now that really can't happen. Since being back from College Station, I haven't danced or taught but I decided to start looking for jobs again. Being that I started looking in January makes things a little difficult. Most dance studios schedules are the same as school. Randomly looking one day, I saw a job posting for a full time preschool dance director/ office manager for a new studio (the studio is in the process of being built). It seemed like my perfect job. I love working with kids and that has been what I've missed most about not working at a studio. So I applied and then eventually went and interviewed for the job. The interview went great and I really liked the director/owner. I've talked to her several times since the interview and went and taught a trial class last night for a few girls. They were adorable and so much fun! So now I wait...and well that is the hard part but I feel good about the class and interview so whatever happens happens. Weather or not I get the job, I'm going to keep looking for dance jobs because right now, that is really what I want to do. And eventually get a photographs website started and get some clients. If I could make a living teaching dance and taking pictures...I would be pretty happy.

Tonight I'm going to see Mike acoustic. Tomorrow morning is going to suck but a little acoustic music is what I need right now!

Snow!!

It's been snowing all day and it has been a lot of fun, here are a few pics! As much fun as it has been though, I'm ready for warm weather! :)

Since this is my blog, I'm going to complain for a minute. I don't like to complain a lot, but these few things have been bothering me.

Complaint 1: I get asked all the time why I don't go out or why I only hang out with a few people. Well, to tell you the truth, the reason is because I either don't have anyone to go with me or nobody asks me to go out with them. I realize I can go wherever I want, but going out by myself pretty much sucks. I would like to say it doesn't hurt my feelings when my "friends" are doing something and don't bother to ask me to go, but to be honest it does. I realize this works both ways, but I'm always the one to call and ask something so sometimes it is nice to be asked. I also realize there are certain times that it was either an accident, or just something they had planned with other people. I'm not talking about those times. I'm talking about every weekend plans that don't involve me.

Complaint 2: Why does someone just decide one day to not be your friend. Maybe not stop being your friend, but stop calling or texting or anything. I realize people grow apart, I realize social media has kind of made it seem like you know what is going on in peoples lives, and I understand everyone gets busy. But it gets frustrating when I'm the only one that puts any effort into talking to people. I know there are some people that I should probably talk to more often that I don't, but it seems like since I graduated from college that everyone stopped caring.

Complaint 3: I've never understood why people base who they are friends with by who their friends are. Just because you don't necessarily like a person I hang out with doesn't mean we can't be friends. Right?   For example, I went out somewhere a few weeks ago with some friends and acquaintances. I can't tell you how many people asked me why I was out with particular people. Does it really matter? Most of the time it is because they are doing something that I want to do and I don't mind hanging out with them. Are you going to stop being my friend because I am friends with someone else? I feel like I'm in high school sometimes and the whole "we can't be friends with her cause she doesn't hang out with the right crowd." If that is the case, maybe we were never friends.

I am the same person I've always been. Maybe people just don't like hanging out with me and to be honest most of the time I'm okay with that. I guess what really upsets me is when people I really thought were my friends start treating me this way. Did I do something to offend anyone? Is it because I don't live in College Station? It seems like ever since I moved back to Burleson, nobody remembers that I'm here. Maybe I'm over thinking all of this a little but I wouldn't mind moving and starting over. That is part of my reasoning for wanting to move to Austin although I don't know if that will ever happen.
