I have been so busy lately getting ready for my upcoming competition.  Practice practice practice.  I have to admit that I think we’re really going to look good.  I look good in my dress.  He looks good in his stuff.  Our routine is hard but looks easy.  I haven’t been too nervous yet.  We are doing a performance tonight in Arlington as preparation for next week.  Gotta practice looking up….smiling…flirting with people watching… all of that.  Of course the flirting will be easy.  I was worried at one time about how this was going to turn out but I’m very confident now.  And that helps!  So I apologize that Mama has been out a bit.
