Shake The Glitter

...well, back from Vegas. the trip was ummm, interesting. to say the least. I won't go into a lot of details because I don't want to dwell on the negative. but I did learn a lot about who my true friends are, I'll leave it at that.

A lot of good things did come out of it, I went to school and finished the admissions process, and am now waiting to hear back on acceptance. I really really liked the school and they liked me, and it seemed like a good fit. I felt really good about it. I saw Viva ELVIS for one of the few more times I'll probably be able to see it.  I made some new friends. I DID get to go to VLV, despite all the hell and high water that almost stopped me. And I spent some long overdue quality time with my big brother.

The most important thing that came out of it was reassurance that Vegas IS the place I need to be. And I didn't even realize how much I missed it. I did not want to leave. I felt at home there.

So I think overall, the good out-weighed the bad. I made the best of a bad situation and realized I don't have to to deal with people who can't accept me for me. I will continue to shine on, in BRIGHT LIGHT CITY! I am looking forward to the future and whatever Vegas brings my way. LOOK OUT LAS VEGAS, I'LL BE BACK!!!

Hey Baby, Let's Go To Vegas!

It's here! It's finally here I'm heading back to Viva Las Vegas tomorrow! I can't believe I pulled this off in 3 weeks! Everything just seemed to fall into place. I have this feeling it was meant to be. I am overwhelmed with excitement and anticipation. I seriously can not believe that tomorrow night I will be back in Las Vegas, Nevada! It will be surreal. I don't think I'll really believe it until I see it.

Anyway, this is my sign off before the trip...one step closer to reaching my goals!



Vegas To-Do List

1. Book hotel! (very very important! I'm pulling for the Flamingo, but I don't know if you have to be 21 to check in...)

2. Write essay (for a scholarship for school, have to turn in then.)

3. ORDER CLOTHES! (yes, that's important. Viva Weekend, you gotta dress to impress!)

4. Re-stock makeup/toiletries (mascara, eyeliner, lipliner, lipstick, hairspray!, travel size toothpaste, shampoo)

5. Plan an itenerary (what days we're doing what. I want to spend AS MUCH time at Viva as possible.)

6. Load my Ipod (I need it for the plane, gotta refresh my tunes!)

7. PACK! PACK! PACK!

The Journey Back To Vegas: Part 2

IT IS OFFICIAL! I WILL be back in Vegas April 4-7! just in time for Viva Weekend! and my best friend is coming with me!

I feel like a miracle has happend! Lately I was really feeling depressed, like I was never gonna get back but then all of a sudden it all started coming together!

I called my school to set up a date to visit and gave April 5-15 as my options, she said the 5th so I took it as a sign and went for it. Then I called up my best friend to see if she could go and she got off work and got tickets and OMG IT'S ALL COMING TOGETHER!

Seriously, it couldn't be more perfect! I feel like it was MEANT TO BE!

As of Wednesday we have EXACTLY 2 WEEKS! so I'll be very very very busy getting everything ready. Stay tuned for updates! I AM SOOOOOO EXCITED!!!

That's The Way It Is.

Up at almost 2 in the morning watching Elvis: That's The Way It Is.

He's rocking out Suspicious Minds and I just got an overwhelming feeling for how much I love him, how much I love Vegas and how much I can't wait to be back.

Thank you Elvis. <3

Viva OR BUST!

As of today VLV ( Viva Las Vegas Rockabilly Weekender) is a month away! And that's also my goal date to be back in Vegas. I DO NOT want to miss it this year! I had the time of my life last year!!!

Also I would really love to get "re-established" in Vegas again before starting school. At this point it will be May before I can start, so I'd have about a month to get back into the swing of things.

I'm setting this goal for myself and I want to MAKE IT HAPPEN! I neeeeeed to be there!!!!!!!

Viva OR BUST!

The Journey Back To Vegas: Part 1

I have begun the journey back to Vegas!

By applying to cosmetology school and sending in my portfolio I have already taken the first step. I now have to take the next and that's to visit the school. I have to set up a date to tour and officially register.

I will have the choice of two start dates for classes, one in March and one in May. The time I start will depend on how things unfold.

The biggest issue of course is money. (money makes the world go around!) Money for airfare, money for a car, money for an apartment and the list goes on and on.

So in the meantime I will be saving, trying to earn some more money if I can and preparing to GET BACK TO VEGAS!

......................................stay tuned!
