Done!

I haven't been updating lately but I've actually been spending quite a bit of time on the ice. I'm on vacation from work for the next two weeks which means I have free time in the middle of the day so I can actually skate on some of those mid-afternoon adult freestyle sessions. It's nice skating with people my own age. I miss adult sessions.

I've been working hard trying to get this program up to speed. I have all of the elements and my spins have improved a bit but now I have the issue of keeping up with the music. I ran the whole thing the other day with the music and I struggled to keep up. I think I just need to gain some confidence. With confidence comes speed! Right? RIGHT??!!!

Lessonz - Lesson today and our goal was to finish up the choreography. We got the footwork sequence, final jump (toe loop), and final spin (attitude)! Good thing I've been practicing my twizzles because he threw a 1 1/2 rotation RFI twizzle in there. Up to this point, I've just been practicing the 1 rotation twizzle so it took me a while after our lesson to add that extra half rotation in. But I did! And it's fun! So the footwork sequence is lovely and includes chasses, swingrolls, mohawk-crossover, ballet jump, a twizzle, and a neat backward glide pseudo-hydroblade looking move. Final toe loop, final spin, a lunge, and ending position and WE'RE DONE! Now I just have to practice the hell out of this. I've got 10 weeks and it's all starting to feel pretty real.

Dressz - On Christmas Eve, my Brad Griffies dress was delivered to my door step! It's here and it fits perfectly! Now I just need to order all of the crystals and get it stoned :)
