Loves/Obsessions/Etc.
Besides my family, besties, and the rest of the DUH loves of my life, these are some of the things that complete me. They're the bing to my bang:
DANCE!
As far back as I can remember, I've been shaking my booty. Seriously, I have a video of me shaking it when I'm 2 years old doing a "MaTinney Yions" cheer...and yes, it was technically a cheer (which, TRUST ME, I know is totally different), but if you saw it, you would see that I managed to turn that sweet little "cheer" into an opportunity to shake it. Pop, lock, and drop it if you will. So I grew up and went on to, wouldn't ya know it, cheer! Along with cheerleading, I took several hip hop classes (because remember I like to shake my booty), and found my passion! So to clarify, NO, I can't do those beautiful turny-magigger-thingys that jazz or ballet people can do, nor can I leap across the room like a bountiful bambi...but I perfer it that way. I went on to work for cheer and dance companies; one locally while still in high school and then became an instructor for ACA (American Cheerleading Association) while in college. I also started my own hip hop/"get-it-girl dance-team" in college. We performed often.......at North Gate. :)
So this passion for hip-hop dance led me to where I've been the past several months, beginning in January 2011...trying out on stage at the Frisco Mall in front of hundreds of strangers to become an Allen Wranglers IFL LAW Dancer! The season just ended in July and our boys ROCKED it this season!! But, despite some crazy, power-trippin director ups and downs throughout the season, I wouldn't have traded those 6 months dancing for the Indoor Football League with 9 other AMAZING girls for anything! We left everything out on that field EVERY game and EVERY performance! It was all about performing for those fans and for our boys! What. A. BLAST! So yes...this dance team will always have a HUGE part of my heart and my booty shaking is thankful for it!!
Absolute LOVE!!
ZUMBA!
It's true. I'm absolutely, positively, completely, 110% obsessed, inspired, and (as of the last weekend in July) fully LICENSED to teach Zumba dance fitness! I mean honestly, what is there NOT to love?! You're shakin' it like no one's watching, you're sweating like crazy, you're burning burning BURNING, and it's pretty much the most fun you can have with your clothes on!! (...okay, I didn't come up with that last part, but someone said it at our Zumba training and it made me giggle) Soooo you wanna take a class from me? Well drive your precious little ole' booty up to Elk City...My goal is to develop a new trend and passion for Zumba in this town! (Prayers are needed!)
Salty Frogs
Okay...I know what you're saying..."What in the frackin' heytell is a Salty Frog?" Well, my friends, in order to experience that little marvel, you're just going to have to actually COME to Elk City. You see, it's originated right here; and therefore guess where the only place you can get it is?..HERE! But let me give you a little description for your taste buds: So you got your snow cone, any flavor you choose and if you don't like snow cones then you're NOT an American! Okay, so imagine your flavored snow cone...but with the main ingredients of a Salty Frog: Fresh squeezed lemons onto the shaved ice and tons of salt! OH MY GOOODNESSSSS, my mouth waters thinking about it! Hey, don't knock it til you try it! Now, let's recap: So you got your snow cone ice in a cup (lookin good), you add your fresh squeezed lemon juice (tarty), get you lots of salt (salty..yuh), and then add a splash of your favorite snow cone flavoring (sweetness)! So, there you have it, a good lookin' tarty, salty, sweet cup of happiness! ....Seriously, even if you don't like me enough to come visit me in Oklahoma, I think these Salty Frogs might be worth the trip itself. Oh, and no, I don't know where on earth they came up with the name Salty Frog...just go with it! :)
