You can't be sucessful without great friends!

As many of you know, I have been working long hours trying to get " The Linnda Durre' Show" off the road. Well this past weekend I finally got to take a break and was so greatful. 

Friday night was one of my best girlfriend's birthday's and we went swing and blues dancing. Swing is alright, blues is better but it's not hip-hop : ) I don't like structured dancing with a partner. I just want to do what I wanna do, so I ended up dancing with my girlfriends most of the night. 

This was probably for the best, so you don't lead on any creepos. 

Then Saturday morning, I headed over to Arnold Palmer's Block Party to go see one of my good friend's perform in this new band called Nigels11? (he's gonna kill me if I get that wrong).... Chris Kirkpatrick from N'sysnc is in the band and it was pretty good (Not my kind of music, but the talent is obviously there). The weird thing is their band was just signed with Wright Entertainment (who is is the label for Justin Timberlake, Janet Jackson etc) and my ex boyfriend is the executive assistant to the President of the company( which is headquarted in LA).  I don't talk to him anymore but it's funny that one of my close friends is now in a band with the company he works for. All these little girls wanted autographs from my friend and his lead singer for a different band called Oh Romeo? (Oh man he is really gonna kill me for not remembering names lol). I think I am going to see him tomorrow night for one of their concerts. I am seriously am the worst media person ever! I don't know who anyone is but I think that is why I am successful in this business because to me they are just people not an "idol". I don't have cable, I don't watch the news (even though I worked in it for years). What I do is massive research before I talk to anyone. It's smart to be knowledge about a person but not the best idea to act like a " fan".

Then I met one of my friends at this place called Drunken Monkey. Well I was pulling in, there was this boy, who kept looking at me, we kept smiling at each other as he walked over to another place. I found myself blushing and looked at the ground...just that boy smiling at me and keep looking at me made my day. I probably will never see him again and even if I did I probably wouldn't realize it was the same guy ( I don't even know his name), but it's not the point. The point is that you can make someone's day by just smiling at them. 

Then it was off to Olympia for my friend's b-day dinner. If you've never been to Olympia it is amazing, they have the best greek food in the area, belly dancing and they even play the cha-cha slide and the owner loves us and gives us free wine : ) Of course out of all the people in the resuarant the belly dancer, picks me to go up there and dance with her first. So I danced with the belly dancer on the floor and had a blast.

Then it was off to downtown. It's different now when I go downtown. My heart isn't there. I notice, I don't look around for which cute guy is around or try to find someone to dance with. I just dance and am goofy with my friends. I pray to God, that I won't be attracted to anyone he doesn't want me to be attractive too and it normally works. It's almost scary how well it works. I find I am barely attracted to anyone, which is good..so when I am supposed to date someone it will be easier to know.

It started to get late and I remember I had a party I was supposed to be at so I rushed over there...oops..the party was over and I woke up the host. My bad! Oh well I was the only one who got him a birthday present! Seriously? Do people not buy presents anymore?

Then Sunday= rest day! This is something I make sure I do every week to keep my sanity. I refuse to do any work. It talks in the bible about this (it is one of the ten commandments!). No, I was not raised to do this. Just trying to follow God.

Monday after the show, I went to the doctor and the chiropractor. I have also been eating mostly organic food. For those of you reading this who know me personally, you are probably very impressed.  For most my life I never cared about what I ate or exercise or anything and was always sick. I was so shocked when the doctor said my immune system was excellent and it was just my hormones and blood sugar is out of whack.  I may be pre-diabetic. But I'm not taking that, I'm a fighter. She also SHOCKED me, when she said my allergies and asthma, weren't showing up in her tests! I had stopped taking my allergic and asthma medications 9 months ago and said " God you are my healer" and since then, I have only had one allergy issue for a few hours from a dirty cat.  God is amazing.

I have become good friends with one of our previous guests and she helped me get the guest for Tuesday. It is so important to have good friends, they are there to help you get through the times, enjoy the fun times and help you problem solve. If she would have not helped me get that guest, who knows if I would have had a guest Tuesday. I said to my friends "I am going to the top and I'm taking you with me" and he was like "really?" and I said " Of course, it's lonely at the top". 

One of my goals in life is to take everyone with me to the top. I truly believe everyone has something to offer and I will find a way to help them use their talents! We all deserve to be successful and people are most successful when they are doing what they love. So tell me what you love and I will help you do it one day! This is my mission and I promise if you put God first, work hard and are reliable...God will find a place for you in this world!
