Crowd cheers

"Yes I finally got some inspiration for the next chapters. 

Now about that table I painted. I changed my mind about how I was going to redo my bedroom. So, I havn't done the details on it yet. Right now it's just a plain black table. When I decide on what to do with the decor I will then finally, finish it. 

One more thing:

Happy Flag Day! 

Have a great Saturday. :)

Painting

" So yesterday I found a small table and thought it would be perfect for my bedroom. All it needed was a coat of paint and it would look great. It took a very long time to get the two coats of primer on. So when I finished I was so happy to put the black paint on then do the decorative details. I got the one coat of black on this morning. Then I realized that it would need another coat of black to cover. 

I have yet to put the second coat on, but I will finished it tonight. Then do the details tomorrow. 

Then it will finally be done. 

If it's finished by tomorrow I will post some pictures of my creation. "

"I don't have much to say today. I have been working on my book a lot lately, but have come to a stop and am now suffering from writers block.

It's a beautiful day today, perfect for a great memorial weekend. Everyone is excited, our pool is opening tomorrow, and summer break is almost here. Have a wonderful weekend."

Random Stuff

"I'm back! Hope everyone had I great Easter.

So lately I have been going through some of my old dance routines. I'm trying to get my flexibility back since I couldn't dance or stretch for two months.( broken collarbone ) So this past week I thought that I should get out my dance shoes to practice in. 

I got to thinking about making a dance shoe comparison. 

I tried to have it done by today but I couldn't finish it, so it will be posted next week. 

The shoes I will compare will just be shoes I have worked in, what I like about them, and what kinds I like the best."

Cats Come In Grey

Chapter One

'Beep,beep, beep,beep' 

I woke up with a start. 

'What was that?' I thought to myself as I looked around my room, still half asleep. I looked over at my clock and remembered that I had set my alarm. I turned the alarm off and moaned as I flopped back on my pillow. "Alarm clocks, because every morning should begin with a heart attack" I say out loud as I try to pull myself out of the comfiness of the blankets. As soon as I step out of bed I was attacked by a ball of fur. 

       It was Zaphoria my cat. I had found her living off the streets when she was just a hungry kitten. She has light grey fur with white around her left eye and on the tip of her tail. She got her name from the black stripes on her right paw that form a Z. 

   "Good morning Zaphoria, are you hungry?" She meowed loudly and started circling my legs. "Ok, just hold on." 

     When my younger brother was at my house last week he thought it would be funny to steal my house phone. Then turn out the lights, and scare me half to death. I still haven't gotten my house phone back from him. So I had to carry my cell phone everywhere. 

       I grabbed my cell phone from its charger and headed to the kitchen.  Zaphoria ran over to her bowl beside the bar. She sat down waiting anxiously. I grabbed a handful of her food from the closet and placed it in her bowl. "There you go. Now time for my breakfast." 

I fixed toast and eggs, then sat down to eat. 

    After I finished , I cleaned up the dishes ,and headed for my closet. I picked out a green and white striped tank, that had the word dance written on it in blue. I also had on grey yoga pants with purple socks. Then I went over to the bathroom and started to fix my shoulder length, dirty blonde hair into a high side ponytail. I was straightening my bangs, when my cell phone rang. 

   " Hello, Kat", I said into the phone. 

"Hey, Saphire I -" Kat paused"wait how did you know it was me?"  

"Only my best friend would call me at six in the morning" I replied.

       Kat and I have been best friends since preschool. People would mistake us for twins all the time, with us both having dirty blonde hair and fair skin. The only way someone could tell us apart was by looking at our eyes. While I have sapphire colored eyes , Kat has emerald green eyes. 

      " So what's up?" I asked. 

"Well," Kat started, " you see I wanted to go for a run this morning. So I started to run out to the lake we found in the woods near the old golf course. When I got there I saw two guys near the lake talking, and of corse me being me, I went over there, hiding in the bushes trying to hear what they were saying. I didn't get much, because I tripped over a tree root and fell into a bush. They saw and started chasing me, I started running, I think I lost them. No need to come out here, I'll just wait ten minutes, an if there's no trouble I'll head out. Don't worry Saphire I'm hiding out in a old garden shed not far from the lake, they will never find me." 

      To say I was worried was a understatement. I was down right terrified for Kat. 

"Kat," My voice laced with worry. "Are you sure you don't want me to come and get you, call the police, anything?" 

"No I'll be - " Kats voice stopped. 

I could hear in the background what sounded like a door opening, but what I heard next was much worse. 

Kats voice could be heard screaming. "Kat!" I yelled into the phone, having a wave of panic wash over me.

Nothing. The line was dead. 

"Well guys that's it. Sorry it was so short, but I hope you like it. Thanks for reading. Please review, I don't mind constructive criticism. 

STILL ALIVE!!!!

          Runs into room full of people "I'm Still Alive !!! I bet ya'll thought  I was a goner. Well, I'm here and finally healed from my broken collarbone. So I'm back to blogging and ready for spring to arrive. Anytime now would be great, there is still snow on the ground-But its melting finally. It got up into the 50's today so its getting warmer. Who else here is ready for summer, because  I certainly am. I'm tired of cold and ready for flip-flops, pool, and ice cream [yum] . Anyway I'm enjoying this warm weather and hope everyone is having warm weather too. 

Broken

"I'm back and I have some bad news...

I broke my collar bone. Yes,sigh I broke my collar bone a couple day ago doing a handstand and lost my balence and fell. So that puts me out of commission for at least 4-6 weeks. So no dance for me :*( 

But hey I get to wear this awesome sling and am not allowed to move my left arm much. Anyway I hope all of you have a gret weekend and there are no broken bones, but if you have a broken bone, don't worry we will get though it together. 

;)

My book preview

"Good aftrnoon everyone . I have been working on a book and here is a preview of what it is going to be like. Now this is just a sample it is not the final product, so I am still working on it. The main charaters name is Saphire James and she is telling the story. "

You know, I never thought my life would end like this. I always pictured my death in a peaceful retirement home, after living a wonderful life filled of family, friends, and excitement. Well, I guess I got the excitement part down. Within a weeks time I have been threatened, chased, kidnapped then escaped, drugged, and kidnapped again. Oh and did I mention that as of right now, I am handcuffed to a pole in an abanded warehouse, that is about to be blown to smithereens. Ya, you could say I've had a busey week, and all this craziness started on a normal day with a simple letter. 

"Well that's all I have for now hope you enjoyed it. " 

:)

Post Update

"Hi sorry I have not been posting for awhile have been busey in the new year. So I will be posting this upcoming Firday or Saturday. " :)
