Wow...time flies. I just realized I haven't posted anything on my blog in MONTHS. well, summer is here in Los Angeles. I love the heat. I am such a recluse when it is cold.

Tomorrow I leave for the Dream Girls USA Pageant. I competed at the state pageant in March and was awarded the Supreme Spokesmodel title. So off to nationals I go. The best part about nationals is seeing my friends that I made at the state competition. Jessika is such a doll and I adore her. It will be fun to hang out. My biggest challenge will be the talent competition. I haven't comepted in talent in sooooo long, but I decided to belly dance. I learned to belly dance when I was doing choreography for Theater Arts for Children and had to choreograph "Aladdin." So I took some lessons, loved it and am now trying it out as part of my pageant experience. In addition to using a veil, I am also dancing with a sword on my head. This should be interesting. Stand back!!

My vegetarian quest has been doing great. I rarely miss meat and love the feeling of eating lots of fruit and vegetables. I have decided to work with a trainer in pilates, so am starting the new regimen when I get back at The Absolute Yoga and Pilates Studio. The trainer is concerned about my getting enough protein as a vegetarian, but I don't think she is used to working with veggie people. We get plenty of protein.

The dogs are doing great. Shauna is slowly overcomign her fear. If I am home by myself, she is energetic, happy and playful. She just isn't too keen on anyone else. But progress can be slow and I expect her to get better as time goes on.

I guess I will close for now. I just couldn't leave my blog so lonely and empty! Oh, and I am working on a reality show pilot. More details to come....
