Hi to everyone!
I'm doing well.
Each day brings its own challenges and happenings. Today the house is full of girls. But, they don't really know what to do, so Mo and I (especially Mo) are still being worked hard. Rick (the Director of Staff) is also here. Its crazy! Too many people.
I made spinach and spaghetti squash quiche tonight and steamed broccoli and green beans. It was yummy. Mo is making peanut butter cookies with stevia(hope I spelled that right) which is a sugar substitute. The batter was NASTY. She's trying to fix it, we shall see.
Peter is giving me a photo shoot, a Shakespeare class, the "Actor Within" class, and my coaching sessions. I am so excited. I just hope for the photo shoot that my face clears up. I have encountered an issue with too much soy products on top of too much stress: I don't sleep well, my face breaks out pretty bad, I'm tired a lot, etc. I talked to Peter about it and he says its very likely that it all is rooted in stress. I agreed. lol
Looks like I am dancing in the showcase at the end of the workshop after all. I didn't think I was going to but, we didn't have many dancers, so Peter said for me and another girl to dance. That means I have to come up with choreography for a dance by Tuesday. So I have Thursday and Friday. Because, Saturday is Instructor Meetings; Sunday and Monday are Chaperone Meetings. I have chosen the Beatles' "Blackbird" to dance to. I hope it goes well. Pray for my inspiration and excellent execution. I have to do well. It has the potential to be really nice.
I love and miss you all. BTW, Peter and I will be in GA, TN and NC the week of Sept. 24- Sept. 28. Maybe we could meet up and have dinner one of those nights. I have no idea what traveling with Peter is going to be like, so I can't say anything for sure. But, just keep it in mind.
The workshop starts soon, so I won't have any access to a computer for about a week. I will update you all when I get back!
Talk to you all later!

Mango-To-Go, catchy, huh?
My mango flower creation that I bought from a woman on a Times Square street. It was quite yummy.
My $60 dress that I got for $30! Its really different and soooo comfortable. A great travel piece.
Some more pictures from Sleepy Hollow. 
Sunset at Union Square!
Check out this guy who is in China filming the Olympics. I know him!http://www.akronnewsreporter.com/videos/detail/olympicsdayone
So... some people seem to be upset I'm not blogging!
Well, hopefully they will be appeased.
Saturday I went into the city to dance with the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theatre. They were celebrating their 50th Anniversary! They know how to throw a party! I had front row tickets and
they were almost dead center! It was awesome. When I saw where our tickets were, I freaked out because I knew that we would be able to hear them breathe! And it was all FREE.
So, we saw the first performance of the day and then had a 30 min. Q&A session with former members of the Ailey company about their thoughts on Alvin himself.
I bought an awesome shirt!
I took a Horton Modern class, a hip-hop class, an African drumming class and a West African class. It was packed. We were all hitting and bumping into each other, but it was all so warm and familial. If that makes sense?
Look at these awesome cookies that they were selling! They are replicas of the costumes and props that the
dancers use in Ailey's most famous ballet: Revelations. My favorite!
Later, we walked from 55th to 12th which, let me tell you, is no light walk. We saw a documentary film 'Fire Under the Snow' about an imprisoned Tibetan Monk. It was very stirring and right up my alley with regards to the attrocities that China is causing and allowing.
Alex, Guess where this photo was taken?
I passed it and knew I had to take a picture. Sorry its not better.

Church at Sleepy Hollow
So, last Sunday Peter, Mo, Brandy and I went to tour the Sleepy Hollow Old Dutch Church.
We were led around the church and the cemetery by an old congregation member. He explained all of the historical and fictional significances to Sleepy Hollow. It was really fascinating. I bought a book with all of the stories and tid bits of info on the place.
