'I like to say David is yolo koko...you only live once so keep on keeping on, man. Keep on struggling with this & learning this and learning this...and growing!'

Said by Stevie Wonder in David Foster: Off the Record
Totally agree with Stevie on this sentiment...it's all about learning and growing through the struggle!

So in preparation for the upcoming year of the Rat, went to Art Inn Runway, a salon at Pacific Mall (that I go to now) to get a haircut on Saturday! I even have my preferred hair stylist, Benson (riiiiiight?!?!?!? SUCH an artsy stylist name, lol)! Personally though, I didn't want it cut too short so just a couple of inches...

Afterwards, we (even Ames!) went to Niagara to relax. Caught a show by The Voca People at the casino where the premise is that a group of performers dressed all in white with red lips. The Voca People claim to come from the Planet Voca (somewhere behind the sun) where all communication is based on music and vocal expressions. Their motto is "Life is music and music is life". During the show, The Voca People are supposed to sometimes mingle with the crowd...during THIS performance, one of the performers tried to sit on my lap (I was sitting in the aisle seat) but as my purse was in my lap, the performer jumped off like something made my lap unpleasant! It was the PERFECT prop!
Went to the Canyon Creek Chophouse for dinner where I had a Kansas City Steak Soup (slow roasted prime rib, carrots, celery, onion and garlic) and Prime Rib Sliders (prime rib on baked buns, cabernet jus and horseradish sour cream) as my meal. I also had a bit of Dad's Peppercorn New York striploin and some avocado from Ames' salad, yum!

After coming home in the early afternoon, I'm now catching up the tv movie I'd taped off of the W Network called Love In Winterland with Italia Ricci & Chad Michael Murray. Normally I don't go out of my way to tape cheesy tv movies BUT because I saw that Mr. Murray was in this, I was hooked! One of my crushes from back in the day in One Tree Hill with another cutie, James Lafferty....why not? Shelley and I used to LOOOOOOVVVEEE catching the show in between our studies during school! Such pretty faces to look (not just the guys) at in the show. Even though the show's ended since 2012, I'd still watch reruns if they played it (like Gilmore Girls :)) He's still quite the hunk and even though I'm just at the beginning of the movie, I'm totally rooting for him and Ally! Why not?

Aiming to get a good night's rest as tomorrow I begin another chapter...hopefully a longer and not as much struggling in this one! *fingers-crossed*
