I am still here, but have been a busy bee. I hope you had a great time at the Nationals.
I am having a 6 day week at work this week and things have been pretty intense. Fortunately I will have tomorrow off. After work today, I headed into town. I saw a really beautiful dress in the sales in my favourite shop last week and I have regretted ever since that I did not buy it. So I wanted to go and check if it was still available. Of course it was not. That eaches me, doesn't it.
I also saw some shoes on a thread on the UK Community Board that I really fell in love with. We have a stockist of this particular brand in town and I just wanted to check out if they would fit me. They were even more gorgeous in real life and they had them in my size, but they have a strap over the top of the foot which was too tight. So I came back empty-handed.
I am starting to develop a serious shoe habit. I could never understand why people were so keen on buying shoes, but now that I have found a brand of shoes that are both quirky and fit me, I think my shoe count will go up quite a bit.
Apart working and shopping, my next cruise is keeping me busy. In 7 weeks I will be on the Magic. I have agreed to run some jewellery workshops on the cruise for our DIS group and that keeps me busy at the moment. I would not miss this for the world though. I have been making jewellery for a number of years now and used to teach jewellery making to children at the boarding school I used to work at. I am looking forward to sharing my hobby with other people.
In two weeks I will go to the south coast of England with some people from the UK Community Board. They get together for an annual Girlie Weekend. Last year, I went for the first time and I had such a great time. I can't wait to go again this year.
I am also busy planning our vow renewal. I have started on making the magnets for this. The kind people on the Cruise Magnet thread have come up with some beautiful designs for me and I can't wait to display them.
Tomorrow I intend to sleep in and then do some brunch for DH and me. I then have a personal training session booked at the gym in the early afternoon, so I will work it off again. When I get back, we will probably watch a DVD and just relax.

We were set to leave tuesday and Syd danced the line # which includes her whole competition team of 40 dancers, well they made Battle of the Stars which was on thursday.
So we had to scramble around to find a hotel for 3 nts. We succeeded and it turned out great! That will teach me to doubt their ability to make it to the Battle!! 
Then we went to this awesome restaurant called Phillips which had an all -u-can-eat seafood 
Here's some pics of Sydney from her solo performance. She won a special award for this performance!! She got 4 1/4 stars out of 5 so we were happy! Actually her teacher doesn't make them feel bad no matter what they get...she's the best dance teacher ever!!
