Dance Concert

On Saturday was my dance concert.

Here are some photos (consider this your backstage pass!)














Tenneil & Lisa, my friends from church, acted as hairdressers for the class I teach. They were dancing to Thriller, so they had to have crazy hairstyles... Tenneil went a bit overboard with teasing everyone's hair... especially her own!








We are such posers!

Putting up the Christmas Tree

Photos from putting up the Christmas tree last night...

(don't mind the pyjamas and freshly washed hair!)































Even Buddha got into the Christmas spirit...

Violin

My first ever violin concert was this past Sunday... wouldn't you know it, just as I got up to perform O Come All Ye Faithful (accompanied by my teacher and everything!)... the camera died!

I was SO annoyed!

Mainly because I wanted to post it on here for all of you to see!


Anyway, I recorded it today- it's not as good, my violin sounds a bit metallic, but what can you do?

Oh, and by the way, I'm wearing the highly coveted cream silk cardigan/shrug thing I am obsessed with! If you read my Twitter updates, you will know what I'm talking about! I ended up buying it at the Penrith store after all!

On with the show (make sure you pause the music player on the right)...

Whoops!

I just realised that by default, Blogger disables comments from anyone who isn't a registered member! (No wonder I had no comments, even though I asked especially for them!)

Anyway, I have rectified this and now you can all leave comments on any of the previous posts (including the one below with photos of me in a tutu!) and all further posts as well.



I am having an excellent week, thankyou for asking.
First full week of uni holidays... heck yes! Although I'm still working at PAC on Mondays and Tuesdays, still have dancing on weeknights and still have church on the weekends, I also have lots of free time to indulge in spontaneous shopping sprees, Grey's Anatomy DVD marathons, you tube surfing aaaaand.... blogging!

Expect to hear more often from me now that my days are my own!

Look what I have!

Photos of me in a tutu!

And I'm voluntarily placing them on the internet!

What is wrong with me?!

Briefly...

Just quickly...

- On Sunday I got baptised at my church (which coincidentally is actually not a church building, but my old school...) And yes, I got the full dunking. And of all the gloriously hot summer days, it was freezing. As in snowing in the mountains freezing. Typical.

- I have my last uni exam on Wednesday (see point below about my memory) and on one hand I'm glad I have time left to study for it, but on the other hand, I just want it to be over! Repeat after me: Roosevelt, Truman, Eisenhower, Kennedy, Johnson, Nixon, Ford, Carter, Reagan, Bush #1, Clinton, Bush #2.

- My teacher is having a concert for her students this Sunday, and it will be my first violin performance. And she only told me today.

- My dance concert is two weeks away. Normally I wouldn't mention this since I've been dancing practically since I could walk (I'm told I was a little slow on the uptake in that area...) but it will be my first ballet perfomance. Note: first performance in a tutu. Those things are complicated, people.

- my memory has been shocking lately... last week I turned up to an exam that was actually this week, and there was something else I did but (seriously) I forgot what it was!

- my room looks like a bomb's hit it (or so my mother says, I, for one think it has been way worse).


Aaaand that's about it for now.

On the weekend...

...I babysat my godson Ryan (5 1/2) and his big sister Tegan (7 1/2).
I always like to take them somewhere and they usually pick McDonalds (why did kids like that stuff?) so I often take them to the park as well, that way I don't feel as bad for letting them have Maccas for dinner!



Ryan, as usual, was go-go-go!















Tegan was more chill about the whole thing:













They didn't want to leave!









But finally, the promise of ice cream meant that they were willing (and a good thing too, since it was starting to rain and they still weren't giving up!)







Me to T&R tonight as we were leaving Cold Rock Ice Creamery: "When we go outside there's going to be lots of cars on the road, so no walking across the road, okay?"

Ryan (with a serious face on): "So we run?"


Are you serious?!




After all the fun and excitement, it was bedtime. They both picked out their own pyjamas:

This is Ryan's impression of Superman:















This was the face I got when I told them "No more photos, it's bedtime".


Ryan wasn't impressed either. But you know, I am ruthless.

I'm the smiling assassin.
