Strictly Come Dancing

Last night in the UK on the equivalent show of Dancing With The Stars 'Strictly Come Dancing' Amy Winehouse and her God Daughter performed.

The thing that caught my eye was that Dionne is only 13 and Amy sang back up vocals for her.

Thought I would share cause shes pretty good

Enjoy

Coming To An End

So my week in LA is coming to an end

Its been relaxing to say the least. Each day I think 1PM was the average time for my shower as I sat around Jacks apartment eating pancakes and watching breakfast TV. Now I have to deal with the wide ass issue that I have obtained in such a small amount of time.



Kai Kelley who's a friend of Jacks has been great. He is the restaurant guide to LA. lol He has come up with some great places to eat.



Some good and ONE place not so good

Here is the exact moment when Jack found a fly in her water.






And to add insult to injury we didn't get a discount for our meal.

I thought Jack was getting stable on her crutches until we had a little incident last night. One minute she was up and the next minute she was DOWN. We chuckle at it now but when it happened it was not a pretty sight. There really is not much you can do for somebody who is on crutches other than to hover around them braced to catch them if they fall. So how I ask did Jack manage to fall at Kai's feet and him not notice. lol. He can explain that one to you himself.

Her spirits are up as she displayed she still has the bug for buying shoes. Only Jack could hobble to the shoe store, try on one shoe and purchase two. lol

She also had the first 1 foot Pedicure. It turns out this is Jacks 3rd Pedicure ever. Her last being 1990 something. Even the women painting my toes nails commented "oh only 11 years since your last Pedicure" lol. We both shot her a look like "who was talking to you?" lol






So I wanted to get my chill on and thats exactly what I've been doing.



In the next couple of days I will post a few conversations that we have had that have made me say. Hmmmmmmmmm

lol

But, its back to Atlanta next week to start practice. I know I will blink and then January will come around and I will be hearing the familiar words "Tracksuits off please ladies".

So its time to knuckle down and get my practice on

Church

For those who don't know I was raised a Catholic but lets say I'm not a regular go to church on Sunday practicing Catholic. Its not that I'm scared of religion just at this present point in my life I feel religion is in my heart.

I have had many friends in the past who have showed their religious up bringing and I am forever being invited to different churches.

As I'm in California visiting Jack I decided to take her up on her invitation. Plus how else was she going to get there.

Lets just say I had a very pleasant time. I was made welcome and did not feel out of place. Even though I did not necessarily pack clothes to go to church.

They had a visiting choir from Japan that really blew me away. These kids do not have English as their first language but they can sing in English.

Jack was up on her one leg making sure she got a good view and I had goose bumps

Below is a clip of them at yesterdays service.

Enjoy I defiantly did

Chilling

So I have a week before I officially start back at practice.

January will come around so soon so I'm savoring this time and enjoying just chilling.

A few weeks ago I corrupted my nephew Maxie. I was watching him over night as my sister was headed out some place. We played and I was tortured by non stop 'Scoobby Doo' It was 1pm before we decided to take our baths and start the day the next day.



At one point he looked at me as we layed in the bed and asked. 'Aunty Joice, What are we doing' My reply 'Chilling' This child really did repeat the word like he understood what I had just said.

Well thats what I'm gonna be doing this week

Oh I'm in LA what trouble can I get myself into.





No for real I'm here chilling and visiting Jack who had her surgery a couple of days ago.

So she has 'Nurse Maduaka' at her side. I draw the line at bed pans and bed baths



lol
