As I have been working on my finances and trying to get caught up with everything, I remembered this skit I had seen on SNL. I love it and wanted to share:

update on the divorce...
Well, some of this paper work is taking a little longer than expected due to some changes that need to be made in the final stipulation.
However, the ex and I have come to an agreement. We are waiting on my lawyer to get the final stipulation written up.
The ex, (I need a new nick name for him...lets call him...Toad). So, Toad, informed me last week that his job was going to be moving him to Arizona. I'm not sure when that will take place, or if it is even something that is absolutely going to happen. We will see in the following weeks.
I don't think this is going to drag on much longer. Once we have both signed this new stipulation, we have to wait a few weeks for the judge to sign and file it. They send out a certificate, it looks all nice like the marriage certificate... interesting, huh?! Once the Judge has signed the stipulation, we have a 90 day period, which you have to wait to get remarried. But since I am neither engaged nor interested in anyone, my "grace" period will most likely last a few years.
So, YAY! I'm so excited. Well, I'm off to fold laundry.

The price of fame...
I just realized I only have about 5 months left of school! Woohoo!
Then the price of massage will go from $20 to something more like 60-75$ (depending on your modality of choice.) I'm still not sure what I want to specialize in. I am leaning more towards energy and Qi Chong (Chi Gong). Of course using general swedish, deep tissue and trigger point.
I want to add hot stones, hydro wraps and herbal compresses. Maybe raindrop, and other aromatherapy treatments. I most definitely will use some exfoliation and parafin wax, because that's just awesome. And who doesn't like to feel smooth and silky?? Seriously!
I want to offer chair massages for businesses. I want to come to their events, or whatever.
I plan to sign up for some acting lessons when I graduate, I eventually want to audition for an agency. I love performing, but I definitely need to brush up on my skills. (read Skeeeeels.)
I really want to take up ballroom dancing again. My sister and I have just decided we will trade massages and hair cuts for lessons. So, if you're interested, let me know. Oh, and you have to be good. Because we really want to learn. Not just pretend like you know what you are doing. haha!
I have started on my exerecise/diet program. I really want to lose this weight. I am going to. I'm going to look good come summer time. Maybe then I'll think about dating. Maybe.
