OVER 2 MONTHS?!

Wow... time flies! I couldn't believe it myself when I looked to see when my last entry was... but it really has been over 2 months! I know, I know... BAD blogger... :( Sorry! But I guess this means it's time for a major update... hold on to your hats, cause here we go!

Ok, so the Voices for Haiti Benefit Concert went SUPER well!!! We made a lot of money, and had a pretty big turnout. We packed the Coral Gables Congregational Church, and of course, for a good cause :)

We have been staying in my In-Law's home for a little over 2 months now due to some stuff that needs to be fixed in our home... And I know what man of you are thinking... but It actually hasn't been too bad at all :) Granted, nothing compares to having your own space, but I have had a chance to see our Nephew practically on a daily basis which is great (he is just the most adorable baby in the world, and I have enjoyed spending time with him), and we still have a pretty good amount of privacy. The downside was the fact that we had to come over with our 2 dogs, one of which had to go to my Mom's after she went in heat in a house full of boy dogs. That definitely wasn't going to work. The other was not even 4 months old when we came over, so that has been a bit of a challenge. She is now 6 months old, and graduating from Puppy School at Petsmart (Graduation is May 3rd). She is doing a lot better and is learning more and more every day!

My best friend (who was my Maid of Honor) got engaged! She was in NYC with her BF for Spring Break, and he proposed in Time Square using the big American Eagle Screen... Nice job ;) They are setting a date for Summer 2012. I am so happy for her :)

Going to Disney on Memorial Weekend for my 28th Birthday with the Hubby. His Business Partner and Family are coming too :) I am sooooo looking forward to it :) Can't wait!

Let's see... what else??? Hm... I don't know what else to say for now... so I guess I'll just leave you with this song I've been listening to from the Musical "Wicked" which I went to see ;) It was FANTASTIC!!! I highly recommend it ;)

If you think you've got me figured out... you're wrong!

Strangers always got some mess to spread
But I have learned to flick them off
Can't walk a mile in my YSL's
I strap 'em on and I walk it off

Got 'em sayin', "I can't believe she did it" "No she didn't"
My wild factor's got 'em crazy (Crazy)
Got 'em sayin', "Yeah, she did it but I can't believe it"
Never say ya can't believe, ha ha...

Even if they try
They still can't walk a mile in these shoes
They couldn't even lace them up right
Honey, these pumps are too big to fill
10 million men can't walk a mile in these shoes

My strut's so fierce
Steven's got 'em mad at me
Laugh and talk behind my back
But they'll never get the best of me
I see 'em, doin' my dance
And I hear 'em, singin' my song
I'm surpassed in the rest
'Cause that's how I was raised to do it.

I'm walkin' tall
I don't let their hatred test me
They bite the dust
Head above water they still can't breathe
My feet pound the ground
As I stomp it out
I dare you
To walk a mile in my shoes

A special dedication...

Your pedestal is falling down, falling down, falling down

Your pedestal is falling down, falling down, falling down...


Record sales are on the mark

Cause thats about the time the rumors start

Where all the people talking out their ass

Well, someone gotta school ya cause ya got no class

Well I've paid my dues

I'm a seasoned dame

So why you gotta throw salt in my game

You hide behind the computer screens so that you don't have to be seen

How could a person be so mean



Who are you-and what do you do

That makes you think you are above me

But have you walked in my shoes

The pedestal

You put yourself on

Well since I'm breaking it down now

It's gonna collapse and be gone-gone-gone-gone-gone



Probably one of them tag a longs down 4 the free t-shirt

Cause you're a hanger on

You think you got me figured out

Never met me have no clue what I'm about

Maybe I got things you wish you had

You need to stop the hate and get a pen and pad

I work around the clock, so fill your mouth up with a sock

And get you head up off your jock

Tell me who you are and what your background is

Tell me how you're feelin' when you listen to this

The American Ideal V

I had the opportunity to sing in this Concert in collaboration with the Coral Gables Opera. Genesis Marichal and I (both from the same Vocal Studio) sang "Duetto Buffo di Due Gatti" (a comic duet for two cats) written by Rossini. It was a fun experience :) We had an audience of Children... so it was definitely a great way to expose them to classical Music. They really enjoyed the Cat Duet ;)

Here is a link to some photos of the event, as well as an audio file...

Enjoy!!!
