My Imaginary Weekend

Ok, since I'm in a dancing mood, I've decided to add a new feature to my blog - "Playlist for this Weekend" located on the sidebar. This will be a custom selection of music each week based on the mood I'm in. You can turn it off if you want, but if you do you're officially NO FUN! :-P

Sometimes the imaginary life in your head is way more fun than real life. For example, this weekend on my to-do list is power washing the front porch and trimming hedges. I know - don't be jealous!!! But...my imaginary to-do items include going out to A-list dance clubs, shmoozing and dancing my ass off.

I will wear this dress that I'm lusting after right now along with this cute blue clutch I'm lusting after right now. Both at Franchesca's. I love that store!

In honor of my high-profile weekend with my A-list celeb friends, the "Choose Your Own Adventure" theme for this Friday is the B-list celebs I have encountered in person. I have included these story choices in a previous post, but have not written about any yet. Choose your favorite and I will tell you the juicy details on Monday!

1. Dan Rather's huge crush on me


2. The night Venus Williams became my BFF


3. Milli Mystery (or, how did I end up partying with Fab of Milli Vanilli for two nights in a row without knowing who the hell he was??!!)

Have a Dancerific Weekend!

Dream On...

Last night it finally happened! I was chosen to play the lead role in a musical!!! I've been waiting all my life for this. Fuck those morons who didn't choose me for the lead in my senior class musical. They obviously didn't recognize talent when it hit them smack in the face.

Well, ok, so I wasn't the one originally chosen, but I was contacted to step in at the last minute for a musical opening this Friday because the star of the show fell ill and can not go on. Ha! I knew my moment would happen, who cares if it's at the disadvantage of others.

So I immediately had to leave for rehearsal last night. Talk about pressure! The show is opening in just a few days and I realized during rehearsal that maybe I didn't know the part as well as I thought I did. I stumbled over lines, panicked during the musical numbers and man, I had no idea how physically exhausting this show was. I was climbing all over the set in high heels and what??? there was actually some gymnastic type tricks involved.

By the end of rehearsal my feet were blistered, my body aching and I just knew the director was onto me. I was a phoney! I could never carry a show like this. But then we rehearsed the curtain call and I realized the moment I had been waiting for all my life was finally becoming reality. I would be the last one to emerge from behind the curtains to take my bow. The whole audience would be cheering just for me! I was going to be the star!

Ok, so maybe the rest of the cast and crew did believe in me, but I went home feeling like I still didn't believe in myself. I was in a complete anxiety attack at this point and that's when I saw her...the woman who could help me with all my problems...Oprah herself! In the flesh! She could see I was troubled and asked what was wrong. I explained and she began to give me a fabulous pep talk, also mentioning what a moron my high school theatre director was not to give me the lead so many years ago. This is why I lacked the self confidence now. Aha! I had the lightbulb moment! It all started to make sense when...

CRASH!!!!!!!!!!!

Sweaty, exhausted and completely confused, I bolted upright just in time to see the dog and cat scatter across the room. Oh right...haha...of course I knew it was a dream all along...
