Easy like a Sunday morning

There's something very serene about a lazy Sunday morning. It's also the perfect time to blog!

A Friday Five to start:

1).What is something you collect? Why?

Um....shoes, bags and pretty sparkly things, coz I love them! Fairies - reason should be obvious, and dvds - movie buff. Actually I collect lots of things - books, ornaments, teacups, masks, porcelain dolls......

2).If you could make one ice cream flavor, what would the ingredients be and what would be the name?

In 4th form for science or something I created an ice cream called Luscious Layers - had a layer of biscuit crumbs, jelly, ice cream etc. Was delish!

3).What can't you go a day without?

Coffee! And lip gloss.

4).What position do you sleep in? *back, right side, left side, stomach etc*

At the mo, I'm relishing being single and have taken to sleeping diagonally across the bed using 3 out of 4 pillows! Usually on my side.

5).What is your typical morning routine before work/school?

Inwardly moan that I have to get up. Sleep some more. Crap, I'm late. Coffee. Shower. Dress, More coffee. Check email if there's time. Run!

I decided the other day that I would like to be a truck driver. Then Mum informed me that generally they have to load and unload their own trucks, so there goes that idea. I quite liked the image I had of me driving around our beautiful country eating lollies and listening to Dean Martin. Ah well.

This weekend is the Drury Lane dance school's annual production. My 2 minutes on stage. Whoohoo.
We have combined with Level 3 and the Wednesday afternoon class and are doing a number to Liza Minnelli's Steppin' Out.

This year's dance is A LOT better than last years, so Leanne has redeemed herself as a choreographer in my eyes.Although there are still some things in the dance that don't feel right to those of us who have been dancing for a while!

Anyway, we get to wear sparkles which is always good in my book, and leanne told us to "bling it up" as much as we liked.......clearly if she knew me better, she may have set a bling limit!

Here are some pics:

(Find me, look at the girl opposite me, the lady behind her is 93!!!!!!!!)

Well, Leanne did say to "Bling it up!"

Would Ann Miller say it was too much? I don't think so! And yes, I am wearing a tiara!

When I bought these I didn't realise they were drag queen size eye lashes!

First show was last night, and we have a matinee this afternoon. Being act 5 in the second half, mother help escorted our class (lol) up the back of the Founders to watch the first bit which is all the little cuties who usually do their own thing, or just stand there staring at the audience. We all decided we want to take home a teddy bear aka the tiny tots jazz class. They're about 4 years old, and just adorable in their teddy bear costumes.
I was never a cute animal. I started off as a snowdrop and a peasant girl in Thumbelina in my first ballet concert when I was 6. Man, those snowdrop tutus were itchy! Coincidentally, my first ever show at Riverlea!


In other news, I am like a four year old with a birthday approaching! I am SO EXCITED about next Saturday! It's been years since I have had a birthday party. AND it's a fairy party! Am trying to be uber-organised and not leave everything till the last minute, and so far, so good. I have lists coming out the wazoo though, but its all good. I love organising things.......Maybe I should be a party planner.....


Also, next Thursday, I am extremely excited to be having a get together with my 6 best friends from school. We all haven't been in the same room since the end of 7th form, so this is pretty big! People are moving away overseas etc now that degrees are coming to a close, so we figured we need to do something, or who knows when we'll get the chance again!
