~This season is blowing my mind~

So You Think You Can Dance has been mind boggling this season. It has been the most intense, frustrating, emotional, attached, exhilarating, blow you mind season yet. The dancers not only have potential, but were pretty fantastic before the show started. I foresee them getting so much better as the season plays out. I have decide to put put my opinion out there on who's going home and in what order. I will not change my original ranking. I will most likely write about how I was completely wrong as the weeks play out and who I think the new winner will be.

ELIMINATED

1. Paris Torres
2. Tony Bellissimo

My favorite dancers are:

Randi, Brandon, Phillip, Kupono, Jeanine, Evan, and Vitolio. They may be lower in rank only because I tried to rank in order of who would be the most versatile. My favorites are great in their particular area, but maybe not in others. My hope is that Phillip or Brandon win because I think they are absolutely amazing.

I am really exicted to see how everything plays out. If you are into SYTYCD, then post your ranking in the comment box.

Here are my rankings for gender. My top six are below.

The same day every year

It is inevitable every year that I will have a birthday, and inevitably every year I suck at planning something for my birthday. This year I did a little better because someone else I knew was going to be celebrating their birthday as well.

So, the night before my birthday, I went here with people to laugh, live, and yeah that's it.













The day of my birthday was a little less eventful, but still enjoyable.

A little homemade breakfast - minus the pancakes. I didn't take a picture, so I googled breakfast and these pancakes looked really good. :)















A little apartment searching.... So, weird. I scheduled an appointment to see some Condo's on Monroe and when the lady called back, she said "Hi, this is Cathy from Tennyson properties..." and i had a moment of hmmm I may have just lost my mind. I was reading a book about a character by the name of Tennyson Hardwick at the time. Anyway, the Condo was had a really nice feel and a really nice price ($1800 a month). Yeah, so.... that's that. She had 2 other properties that I looked at as well. One was nice but in the woods. The other was really nice, but a little too expensive (!1300 a month).



















A little reading about Tennyson Hardwick while getting a little breezer with some French Vanilla.... This book was way better than I expected. Waiting on book 3.















A little pepperoni pizza, some bone breaking conversation, and a movie.














It was a simple day, but I had a good time.

However, I am celebrating all month.

Summer fun

Summer is here and I need to start acting like it. I've been hanging out and doing some of the things that I usually do in the summer, but not to the degree that I usually celebrate summer. Last year, I took at minimum 7 trips (small and big). I don't really want to give an excuse, although I have plenty.

1. Trying to save money
   
2. It's been raining
3. Tallahassee is not the type of city I expected, so i bummed about doing anything.
   
4. Need time to chill out and do nothing

I'm sure I could come up with a more, but excuses are tools of incompetence, and anyone that uses them is seldom good at anything else.

So, I refuse to sit around and let summer pass me by without so much as a "Hello darling, how are you doing".

Here is what I have come up with so far...

1. Mississippi - end of June or beginning of July
   
2. Philadelphia/New York - End of July - This is a maybe depending on flight prices
3. Somewhere within a 2 hours radius within the next couple of weeks.

That's all I have for now, but I'm getting a little excited.

In honor of road trips:
