Showgirls and...what was I talking about?

Great new things happening!

I have recently hooked up (in a business kind of way) with my good friend Lynn Crowe, who owns Teaze Dance and Fitness.  It is the pole dancing studio I have been learning from on and off for the last three years.  Honestly, since I first went to their first anniversary party I have wanted to be really involved with the studio, but I just kept getting sick.  I took classes there for about six months and even got to be a solid level 2 "Pole Fox".  Level three was really hard because I just kept bruising so badly from inverting I had to stop.  I had no idea I had a blood disease at the time, so that explained a lot!

But I have recently agreed to be the Assistant Director for the Oklahoma Showgirls.  The Showgirls are a dance team that perform at events around Oklahoma City dressed as all kinds of cute and beautiful things.  They are a really talented and fun group of ladies, and I am really excited to be working with them!  I even went to a last minute event dressed in a Naughty Santa Baby type costume and it was really fun. 

So along with that, I have started up with classes again.  I have had to start and stop so many times, and I just miss it.  So this week I went to two classes.  I am sore and that feels awesome.  I even think my body will hold up past level 3 this time!  What I would give to be a "Pole Minx!"

This week has been difficult for my memory issues, and I have been really starting to wonder about it.  Matthew tries not to get frustrated, but at least once a day he has to tell me something I should remember that I don't.  We missed a breakfast yesterday morning with friends because he didn't put it in his calendar, but it was the first time I had heard we were doing it.  Dr. George, my blood specialist that helped diagnose my condition, has asked me to attend an occupational therapy appointment to see if they can offer me tools to cope with it.  So until I get to that neurologist, I will have to really be diligent with putting things in my phone to remind me what I have to do.  If you are someone that experienced my forgetting something we talked about, I apologize.  I am diligently working on it.
