Hecklers

Well, yesterday at the show I had a heckler...probably the worst one I've experienced on stage. He wasn't too horrible, more just annoying, and I had to put him in his place more than a few times. I've performed on stage enough to not be scared of someone like that (though I used to be), now, in some ways, it makes my show just a little more interesting because I'm thinking of different things while I'm performing. I'm glad he wasn't mean, he just wanted attention. I haven't experienced a really mean one yet (hopefully I won't have to), but I'm sure at some point in my career it's going to happen.

I had no takers on my Saturday Sale...So I think I'm going to have to think up something a little more creative for next week. If that doesn't work, then I might have to do away with the sales, since everything I've actually sold has been at full price...lol.

Hmmm...What wonders are in store for you over here?

Sleeping Late...not

Well, for the next week I have the chance to sleep late every day. I had to get my shows covered at the Venetian, so I won't be there until next Tuesday...Yet did I sleep in? Nope. 7:30am and I was wide awake, still, it's nice to know that I don't have to be anywhere early.

Tonight I have a gig at the Hard Rock Hotel. This should be fun because I just got a new magic bag that I'm just dying to break in. I have to use a special purse when I do magic because, as I'm a girl, evening gowns do not come with pockets.

Then on Friday, we've added a show for Find Your Sexy and my sub couldn't cover it, so I got someone to cover my shows at the Venetian and I'll be doing the other show...sounds confusing? It's ok, all it means really, is that I get to sleep late.

In other news, I finished The Gun Seller by Hugh Laurie. It was a fun spy novel and I'm glad I read it. I'm not a huge fan of spy novels, but this one made me laugh. Laurie's writing style is really humourous. Now I've started The Brief Wonderous Life of Oscar Wao by Junot Diaz. So far I'm loving it. I'm only about 50 pages in, so I'll keep you posted.

What does one do in between magic and reading?

Saturday is Special...and more!

My Fingerless Gloves have now been photographed and listed! I like these so much better than my first attempt...they are really soft and comfy and I'm tempted to make myself a pair too!

In other news, the Consumer Electronics Show is in town right now, which means the rooms are full, but the showrooms are empty. My show was canceled today :( Not to worry though, this happens every year...and besides, I have a new scarf to photograph and list...I also have a lot of my boyfriends stuff to unpack (he's officially living with me now....yay!!!).

Oh yes, and the special for today...Anything you buy in my shop today, I'll refund you 20% of your total purchase price! All you have to do, is write the code FirstSale2009 in the comments section.

I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!

Happy New Year's Eve!

Yes, it's the last day of 2008...is it just me or did this go by really fast? So many things have happened to me this year.

I got dumped New Year's Eve 2007, but now I have someone new, and in retrospect, it was the best thing that could have happened to me.

I've read so many incredible books (68 this year). My goal was 100, but it didn't happen...there's always next year.

I got cast in a show on the strip where I get to do my act (magic act, for those who aren't regular readers), and I'm loving every minute of it.

And of course, I opened my etsy shop in 2008 as well. I haven't had a lot of sales yet, but with networking and advertising, I feel as if I am really building a solid base, and soon the sales will reflect that.

One last thing...I found out last night that my scarf was featured in a treasury. Please take a look and show my scarf some love

HAVE A WONDERFUL NEW YEAR AND A PROSPEROUS 2009 FROM LAS VEGAS!!!!

A new week begins

Almost finished with the new socks...If all goes well they should be done by today. I hope I can get them photographed while it's still light outside because my workweek begins tomorrow and it's hard to make the time while I'm working.



In other news, they changed the show again! Of course, my act stays the same, that's mine to do and change as I wish, but the rest of the show has changed. On Saturday, throughout the whole show, I was being told, "oops, we forgot to tell you, your doing this now." Thankfully I was there early, because before, I wasn't even in the show until near the end, so I would show up late and get ready late...now I'm onstage at the top of the show...If I hadn't been early, I wouldn't have made it.

Keep in mind, I think all these changes are for the better, and it makes the show flow alot better. If you're ever in Vegas, please come and check it out. It's called, "Find Your Sexy".

My other goals for today are laundry and cleaning the kitchen. Of course I'm going to procrastinate just as long as I can before starting on these never-ending chores.

Help me procrastinate! I'd rather make a trip to the post office than clean
