Happy Halloween


Today is Halloween but yesterday I dressed up all goth like to go into the studio!!! I wore a black wig and I have to say the color brings out my eyes!! mwahahahah I love dressing up and even tho no one else joined me in the masquarde they loved it! I will just be hanging out tonite maybe answering the door to pass out candy. I love seeing the lil ones. I will be working as usual here at home on piano and tightening up my songs. I have some exciting things going on right now. I previewed a rough cut of my video and after the initial shock of seeing myself in high definition I loved it!!! I am excited to see the finished product and I know it's gonna be killer!!!!!!!!!! It's a no brainer when you have a team of talented people pulling it all together! I hope you all have a spooky, cooky, crazy, fun halloween!!!! Peace be with you!!! mwahahaha

Always Love & Music from your girl, ~Dena~

Sweeeeeeeet

Things are pretty sweet! My Sunday was busy with all the behind the scenes kind of stuff that goes with the music biz! Just organizing stuff, taking photos of all my outfits for performing in was a huge job! My mom does a great job with helping me pick out combinations and then taking the pictures besides. After that a friend of mine asked me if I wanted to go see Saw 3!!! Of course I've been dying to see that...no pun intended...and it was so worth it! I can't help it, I'm addicted to Saw Mania haha. Today I plan to dress up for Halloween, even though it's tomorrow. Not that I go trick or treating, I'm a bit too old for that, but I like to have fun and get all made up once in awhile. So I will surprise everyone at the studio tonight. oops...if they read this tho it won't be a surprise! hehe My fave aunt is leaving for Florida tomorrow and she will be gone till Springtime next year and you have no idea how much I will miss her! She has such a generous heart and she looks out for me as much as my parents do! So I have to go say my goodbyes! I hope everyone has a great Monday!!! Lots of xoxo!!!

Blood & Guts!!! mwahahahaha ~Dena~

Weekend Journal Entry

Champions are made from something they have deep inside them: a desire, a dream, a vision." -Ali

So true right? You can desire whatever you want but you HAVE to have the passion and drive to go after it!!! Now add hard work, staying focused, being true to yourself, never giving up and definitely don't sweat the small stuff!!! (it's debatable what is considered small stuff tho....Is having your website crash for 2 days small?...nope, not small at all and yet out of my control so why sweat it?!) For me, when I'm not feeling well and am forced to rest, I'm frustrated to get over it quickly so I can be 100% about my passion and having the drive. I admit I've been a bit under the weather the last couple days but I don't dwell on it and although I give myself permission to feel bad I get past the whoa is me, just suck it up, push through the pain (dancers can appreciate that one) and go for the kill!!!! haha You can sike yourself up or sike yourself out. It's a choice. Sure...I get tired, I get sick, I get lonely and I fail....that's life...but I always remind myself...no one can do it for me and if you accept the good you have to accept the bad. But alas..today is a great day cuz I will it to be! hehe It has been a combination of rest, piano practice, exercise, a quick stop at my friend Ashleys house to wish her a happy birthday, a yummy piece of cake and of course off to my 2nd home at the studio where magic happens!!! :)

This journal entry was written yesterday for Saturday's entry but I might as well make it my weekend entry now! So I will add that last night was another fabulous night in the studio and with the changing of the clocks and gaining an hour that made it just seem like an earlier quitting time! haha Today will be a photo shoot of sorts to capture me in different performance clothes for approval by some VIP's!!! hehe So I need to get going on that!!! xoxo

Always Love & Music, ~Dena~

My Unconcious Mind

Ya know it's so strange how our thoughts throughout the day often come out in our dreams. It's like my unconcious mind spills out and I "get it". Everything is laid out in front of me as if I'm supposed to learn something. Not everyone can remember their dreams, but mine carry over into real life it seems. To the point where I'm waking up either laughing, crying, or in extreme terror. It probably sounds silly but it happens to me just about every night. Anyway, last night my producer and I discussed doing some bonus material for the record. Probably a couple songs with me playing the piano! Who would have thought?! I'm fairly new at playing piano but I think it's a great idea and I'm very excited to do it. I think everyone will be pleasantly surprised when they hear it!!! So0o0o I can't believe how cold it is this early in the year. My producer even had the heat turned on at the studio because my teeth chattering was really starting to affect my vocal tracks. hahaha I'm soo hungry right now I can hear my stomach screaming at me so that's my cue to eat. haha Hope everyone has a great Friday! Muah! xoxo

Much Love, ~Dena~

Reflections

Ya know when you go to that place where your head feels like it's up in the clouds? The place where you reflect on things past and things future? I prefer the present to be honest cuz it's about this being the first day of the rest of my life! Reflection is cool at times but I don't like to sit too long on it! I want to keep working and keep making things happen. While so many people are trying to escape reality I'm happy to be in it! It's just how I'm made. I am a dreamer too but you have to act on those dreams if you want them to come true. Right? Right! Emotions captured me overnight (I think it's a female thing) haha but a new day, common sense and one very important person that speaks to me in musical tones that only we understand is what brings me down to earth. I expect to be working later tonite in the studio but for now I have work to do on my own. I hope your reflections are wonderful but brief!!! It's best to listen to the deeper truths issuing from your gut. xoxo

LOVE

Believe it or not, when it comes to love, I'm exactly where I'm supposed to be. I'm in a whole new cycle of discovery. I have a deeper sense of love in my heart then I've ever experienced and it has nothing to do with anything physical. Hell I don't even have a boyfriend and honestly there is no room in my life for such distractions! sorry boys!!!! haha I always felt God had a bigger plan for me and I have never settled for less and I'm not gonna start now. My sense of confidence is strong too! I love my independence and right now it's all about passion for my music. I've never been this happy and I don't want to question it cuz around the corner waiting to throw me of track will be something negative I'm sure. That's just how life is. It's all about how you handle it! I wish for everyone to be as happy as I am right now. The piano is calling out to me. I learned another new song last night so I'm excited to jump on that. I'm just soaking all this up like I'm Sponge Bob!!! hehe xoxo

Love & Music & Love,  ~Dena~

Shopping Quest

I began my week with a restful Sunday. Then the plan was a shopping trip on Monday, (hense the short journal entry yesterday) which for me can be almost as fun as going to an amusement park. I am on a very limited budget but I forgot that part when certain fabulous items on the racks kept calling out to me....pick me! pick me!!! haha yup...thats the truth! It was just fun to get out to town and shop stores that we don't have here. Even though I was temporaily hypnotized by the clothes and bling I never stopped thinking I need to get back home in time to be in the studio and ready to work. I don't have a blackberry yet...so I'm not able to access my email while I'm on the road and I was itching to do just that when I stopped to relax to get something to eat. I hate being too far removed from my computer,but I wouldn't go so far as to say I'm addicted. haha just addicted to reaching certain people that can't be reached by cell phone! haha Telepathy comes in handy at times too!!! All in all my shopping quest was successful and no one got hurt except maybe my dad's wallet! Tonight in the studio was about gettin new ideas for some cool intro stuff that will kind of overview the whole record. It's kind of hard for me to explain it now, but it will make sense when you hear it. There is still a lot of work to be done besides mixing the record. Photos, designing the cover shot, typing out all my lyrics, writing my thank yous, revamping my website. That's just the beginning! haha I think this is all fun though. I am really looking forward to the end product. Ahh yes and I learned a new song on piano! Yay!! I'm one very happy girl!!

Much Love & Music, xo ~Dena~ xo

Check Check...is this working?!!

Hey everybody! I only have but a minute to tell you quick that I'm headed up to syracuse this morning. When I get home later, if I have time, I will let ya know how it went! My website and everything was down this morning so I'm glad I rechecked it before I left. Hope you have a great day! So check back tomorrow for an update!! Have a fun day! xoxo

Love, ~Dena~

Love is Music

I'm really glad I decided to go in to the studio last night instead of going out to celebrate! Besides who would I celebrate with? The people I would have wanted to be with were all at the studio anyways! They worked just as hard as I did so it makes sense we either all celebrate or we all keep working. With Red Bull as my drink of choice, crunching on gold fish crackers and being with the people I care about most makes it a celebration. We definitely got a lot of stuff done. I did some retracking on some previously recorded songs just to tighten things up. It was one of those nights though when everyone is so tired from the week and kinda talks in slow motion and everything is funny!! But still what we do is very serious! Then while sleeping we did some piano! j/k haha but it kinda did feel like we were sleep walking or a dream! I have to mention I received a dozen beautiful pink roses yesterday afternoon (to my surprise!!) and I want to thank everyone at the Mansion for them! I love you all!!! :) xoxo

<3 Life is the song & Love is the music! <3 ~Dena~        10/22/06

Time To Celebrate?!?!

Did I say I would be done tracking my full length by Sunday morning?!! haha Well I was wrong...it's DONE NOW!!!! We put in another successful worknight till 4:30 am this time! I should be dancing on the ceiling!!!!! but I don't feel it's time to celebrate just yet! My job today is to sit down with my unmixed tracks and listen to the flow of the record to figure out the best order of the songs. It kinda tells a story if you listen to the lyrics close. It's very subtle. My fabulous producer offered me the night off BUT that work-alcoholic voice inside me says you aren't done Dena...you are only just beginning!!! haha Girl....pat yourself on the back but then kick yourself in the ass cuz it's onto the next accomplishment! hehe I'm siked!!!! It's all coming together and thanks to those closest to me (you know who you are) for putting up with my decisions!!!! xoxoxo

Extra Love and Music!!!!! ~Dena~

Let's Get Wild (in the morning) :)

So I got home from the studio by 5 am and I woke my Mom up. hehe She was lookin at me like I was the brightest sunshine she ever saw. Tooo funny!!! I'm wide awake and I need some company. I could have kept on going but my producer had to go to his day gig. So I turned on Wild104FM so I could get WiLd in the morning with Riley and Kirsten!! Sadly Riley is all depressed because the Mets lost....like many other Mets fans I know. Since it's a rainy day no one will notice them crying. haha But I feel their pain since my Yankees lost 2 weeks ago and you just have to let it go! I'm super energized here!!!! I'm super happy!!! and I don't wanna come down off this Red Bull high. I can't think about my day ahead right now because I'm still thinking about my night. I started my last song for the full length. We should definitely be wrapping that up by Sunday morning. haha Well it seems weird but I'm gonna go to bed now. Respected, Protected, Connected Forever! xoxo

Love & Music from your's truly, ~Dena~

That's Life

Oh lordy people! Someone call the computer doctor!! How crazy important it is when you have a business and things beyond your control automatically shut down and you are at the mercy of technology?!! haha Ok not really funny. See this is what I mean by I don't just have to worry about singing & writing songs. That part is easy for me. However business wise I need to be connected to my email and cell phone and when either of them go screwy I'm pulling my hair out!!! I'm very happy tho and I can tell you that soon we will start mixing my record. That part is the coolest because that's when the songs start to sound really killer. All the instruments and cool effects come together bringing the song to life! My head is spinning in a few different directions right now (in a good way..haha) and I just need to maybe work it all out on the treadmill first before I hit up the vocals and piano. Gotta get in the ZoNe!!!! xoxo

Always, Always.....Love & Music, Dena

It Ain't Always Easy

Still going at it in the studio! Things are being worked out as I am going back over one of my songs and trying to fill in the holes. It's not always a cake walk even tho I always say things are great night after night. I don't want to give the impression it's easy or simplistic in any way to do what I'm doing because there are times of struggling with parts. But I love being pushed and challenged to be better and improve so nit picking the finer details is the only way to be on top of my game. I've got tons to do on this lovely day and even tho it's a day off, staying organized will keep it all together. I like planning ahead cuz it keeps me on track! Which brings me to say...have a fabulous hump day! hehe xoxo

Love & Music, ~Dena~

Dreary Day

I really dont think this day could be much drearier. It's the kind of day where you can't tell the difference between night and day because it's so dark out. Surprisingly though I had quite the energy to pop out of bed and start dancin when "ain't no other man" came on the radio haha. Last night we tied up some loose ends on another song so that felt pretty good. I like going home feeling accomplished. Hopefully tonight after my voice lesson I will be able to go in and do the same thing and then some. My producer and I are perfectionists so everything has to be killer. We would never settle on mediocore tracks to just get them done quicker. In the end all that nit-picky stuff will be all worth it. Not just good, but great!!!! I want to be able to listen to my own songs and not cringe cause I wished I had done something different. So yeah I have a feeling this day is going to fly right on by for some reason. I think cause I have a lot of on my plate today. I've been home alone for a awhile singing, playing the piano and working out...and doing it all as loud as I want to haha. Alrighty everyone...stay dry! xoxo

New Week

Hi everyone! Yesterday I ended up chilling all day at home with family and really did rest so it should rocket me into another busy, exciting, crazy and hopefully fun week!!! I'm really happy because I'm almost done tracking my whole full length. I have one more full song to do, and then some fill-ins on a couple others. Then it's just about going back through them all to see if everything is cool and just how we want them to sound. So I'm guessing by the end of the week that will be all done. Don't hold me to it though, its just a goal! haha I just got done walking 3 miles on the treadmill and I'm bout to spend time with the piano for the afternoon. Staying focused is where I'm at. Gotta fly!!!  xoxo

Love & Music, ~Dena~

Day of Rest

Will today be a day of rest? haha Well so far it has been cuz I slept the whole morning away. I was home before 4 am but exhausted. I was hungry too so I grabbed a slice of plain whole wheat bread and headed straight to bed. I hate getting out of bed when it's cold in the house so it's easy to stay curled up under the covers on mornings like this. Even now I'm sitting in front of an electric heater and wrapped in a blanket. I am hoping to get some important news today! Maybe even a peek at a rough cut of my video! I finished tracking another song last night so that leaves ONE more to go!!!! It's all coming together so beautifully. I started learning another one of my songs on piano also. I love it! Well I need to get moving before the day slips away. Gotta grab the gusto as they say and get my rhythm on!! Everyone take the time to express yourself in your own creative way! Find your peace. xoxo

It Is Written In The Stars

It's 5:30 in the morning and I just got home from the studio. I decided to write here and then catch some zzzzz's cuz once my head hits the pillow I'm gonna be O-U-T!!! I just did 10 hours and it was fabulous hunnie!! We took a food break and we were eating turkey subs at like 1 am! I finished tracking another song and reviewed the next 2 and also played piano! Nothing super funny happened tonite but that's okay cuz sometimes those spontanious outbursts of laughter can really throw us off track. haha But oh so wonderful for the heart & soul! The sky is amazingly clear tonite or should I say this morning?! I just sat in the driveway looking up at the sky for 5 minutes cuz the stars were so bright!!!! My thoughts always go to one of my favorite sayings...When you wish upon a star, you just might become one!!! I can't imagine how much more I would have really seen if I lived out in the country with a wide open view but I'll take what I can get! My dad was already up (his normal time for work) and my mom woke up too to ask how my night went but went back to bed. I grabbed a sugary dounut (which I usually try to avoid) but it was calling out my name. hahaha Alrighty, I hope your Friday night was cool and your Saturday will be even cooler!!! All the best to you! xoxo

It is written in the stars!!!

Perfect Blend

Expect great things, never give up, be true to yourself & push things into the direction you want them to go. If you can't do it alone then team up with people or someone that can help you! Most of all follow your gut feelings cuz they won't steer you wrong. Be passionate about what you love doing and pay it forward when you get the chance. Yeah, I had another great night in the recording studio!! Man....when my producer and I are in the zone, the clock is our enemy. Time flys by. We both dread the thought of anything disrupting our creative flow...aka...like chocolate smells wafting in!!! haha (inside joke) But hey...it was a yummy smell!!! hahaha So the perfect blend is the way to be if you can get it...otherwise it's grueling & tedious work. Just so you know, this full length is gonna rock your socks baby!!!!
xoxo

Love & Music Always, ~Dena~

Color Me Orange

I woke up this morning and stuck my head out the window and everything has a warm orange glow about it! The trees are so pretty and I love the smells in the air. The fall scents of cider, doughnuts, candy apples, and pumpkins from the Cider Mill nearby somehow give me comfort. Today I'll be practicing new piano parts I recently learned and a new song to sing. Studio tonite. Yesterday I had some free time so I caught up on watching True Hollywood Stories on E! I love watching behind-the-scenes stuff on celebrities. Last night after watching Dancing with the Stars I was bothered. I don't know how many people watch that show, but I totally believe it's just a popularity contest. It's more about ratings and entertainment cuz clearly one of the best dancers in the bunch was axed over stars that are less skilled in ballroom dancing. Jerry Springer could probably just stand still and make it to the next round based on his popularity. Oh well...thats showbiz! haha I have much to do and need to get at it and I'm sure you do too! Hope your day is filled with sunshine and love! xoxo

Love, ~Dena~

You Bring The Best Out Of Me

Another killer night in the studio last night! I finished my new song called "Reasons" and I have to say it's probably the best thing I've ever done. It's my first real ballad and there is a lot of emotion behind it. So that means only 3 songs left to track for my first full length. YAY!! I'm just so excited for everyone to hear it. Today is my day off and instead of going out I think I'll probably catch up on some R&R. Have to still do my daily work out though. My mom is under the weather today and she may have caught something from my grandma because she has been taking care of her. So I'm gonna have to help her around the house. I just dont want to get sick cause I'm at the top of my game right now. Alrighty everyone say healthy! xoxo

Our music brings the best out of me, ~Dena~

Rock-Solid!!!

Rock-solid baby!!! -- that's how I'm feeling right about now!!! I'm grounded, I'm pumped and I hope to transfer my energy your way!!! The vision for my life and my choices have always set me apart from my peers while growing up, (and it was painful at times) but I have no regrets for maintaining my strong work and moral ethics and for not following the crowd. I wanna shout out how lucky I feel but all luck really is...when preparation meets opportunity!! When I go into the studio prepared, it's like having wings and no one can hold me down. When I am not prepared, my ass is dragging, the air is thick and not even Red Bull can make me fly! (just ask my producer) haha I tracked another hit song last night and it blows me away how 2 minds, hearts and souls can bring to life something so wonderful! Today will be the usual work day (cuz if it ain't broke, don't fix it) haha and tonite into the studio! Hope your day is fabulous!!! xoxo

Rock-Solid Music and Love Always,  ~Dena~

Texas Chainsaw Massacre

Yesterday was an awesome day! The Baptism was sweet and of course I love seeing the babies. The twins were dressed up in white, Jacob in a suit, Laci in a dress. Sooo precious! Afterwards we had a delicious meal downstairs in the church. When I got home I checked out some different celebrity websites to try and get some cool ideas for future changes to make for my own site. Then last night I headed out and met up with one of my girlfriends. We went to dinner and a movie and it was definitely fun catching up with each other. As we were getting out of the car to go see Texas Chainsaw Massacre:The Beginning (yes I like horror movies) we ran into people we knew and hadn't seen in a long time so we all sat together. The only thing is...I didn't want to be alone after cuz I was so scared. I kept seeing things on the way home and kept picturing things in my head from the movie happening to me. I thought I would have nightmares, so I made sure I put on a night light. Luckily I didn't though. Can someone explain to me why I am drawn to watch horror movies and yet be scared out of my mind. I guess it's like a thrill ride and I love rollercoasters!!! Alrighty well I'm gonna get workin on my music. Tracking a new song tonight!

We Are A Harmony

Ya know what's great about harmony?! It's a pleasing combination of elements in a whole....a blend or combination of sounds pleasing to the ear! Harmonious mutual understanding, if you will, also. Together my producer and I are a harmony!!! We work so well together and last night we put in a long night in the studio and the time flew by! It doesn't get any better then that! I have had 4 hours sleep as of right now and yet I'm pumped about my life! Yeah I'll probably feel tired later and that's ok but when my eyes open again I'll be jumping up and feeling siked about life!!! This morning I am heading out to a baptism and luncheon for cousins of mine and yeah I could have said I'll skip it and catch some more zzzzz's cuz I didn't get to bed till nearly 6 am but I want to be a part of the family events too!! I get that from my harmony...where I trail off my harmony picks up and hopefully vice versa!!! I hope everyone has a fabulous Sunday!!! I know I will!

Love, Music and Harmony!  ~Dena~

Star Bursts

Hey everyone! I'm feelin really good today. Last night I was beyond exhausted and I fell asleep before I could even make it to my bed! haha The dinner gig I had last night went really good. Short & sweet and the food was awesome! Everyone I met there was so nice. The lady in charge of the event told me I am going to be a Star and so she gave me a gorgeous pin she designed of star bursts in gold and silver. I love it! After that I did a hop, skip, and a jump over to the studio for the rest of the night. Did I mention it was FREEZING yesterday. Oh well, I guess I better get used to it living in New York and all. Oh wait...I was born here so if I'm not use to it by now I never will be. haha So I'm actually home alone right now, which I love, because I get to play piano without any interruptions or noise in the background. Let me tell ya its not easy when your trying to concentrate on playing a song with your brother singing loudly to Justin Timberlake five feet away in the next room. Now dont get me wrong I love JT, but he is totally cramping my style! haha Just kidding! My parents had to take my younger brother to get his senior pictures done! I'm glad I already went through all that craziness of senior year. It was fun, but I wouldn't want to do it over. Anywho, I have a ton to get done today before I go in to the studio later and I'm not sure where to begin. Maybe I'll start off with a little prayer that the Yankees DO tonight instead of DIE! hehe  Hope your day is fabulous! :)

Love always, ~Dena~
10/07/06


All Aboard!!!

My days are mixed up this week with going off the normal schedule and it doesn't help that my brother has a day off from school and my dad is working from home so it feels like a Saturday! I spent my morning working out and my sweaty self is in need of a shower ASAP! haha but yeah tonite I have a gig for a private event and I'm looking forward to it! It will end early enough for me to work in the studio right after too so it's an all around fun evening for me! I rehearsed last night with my guitar player going over my set for tonite and then did tracking! I really am working very hard to get where I wanna be and with the momentum I have behind me I don't want to slow down for a minute. And even with all the seriousness behind the scenes with the business end I'm totally in love with the whole process and I want to learn bout it all!!! Well people....all aboard who's coming aboard!!! hehe xoxo

Much Love & Music, ~Dena~

You Get What You Give

Yesterday was one of the most amazing days of my life!!! Definitely a day that will go down in history for me. I would describe it as surreal! The video crew were very professional and I was so impressed with them all. I am a big one for keeping everything pro when I'm on a set but also having fun without fooling around and wasting time. I totally felt like I was on an episode of making the video!! I had a professional make-up artist and hair person who made me feel very pampered. I don't know what I would have done if I didn't have her taking care of me the whole time making sure I looked just right for the camera. The director made me feel very comfortable and basically the whole crew impressed me! My gut would so tell me if they didn't love what they were doing as if it was just another job but they definitely LOVE what they do!!! It was so awesome to do my first music video in the theater that I grew up performing in. I felt so comfortable there, like everyone was coming into my home. Even though we were there for almost 12 hours straight, the day went by so fast and it was like a dream come true for me. My support system is stronger then ever and I am very blessed! I truly believe, you get what you give. Thanks go out especially to my one and only very best friend!!! xoxo everyone!!!!

Stuff To Do

Hey everyone!!! Things are crazy right now! I slept in till 11:30 today...yikes!!! Thats usually a big no-no but my producer told me to get a lot of rest today since tonight and tomorrow is gonna be extra busy. There's so much to do to get ready for this video shoot I dont even know where to begin. I have to get all the clothes, shoes and bling I basically own all together in one suitcase to take with me tomorrow. Then I have to figure out what I'm doing with my hair and make up in case I'm doing it all myself. In the meantime, I have rehearsing to do since I'll be tracking tonight. I have a voice lesson later too. Ooh yes and I must fit in a work out too. Alrighty catch ya later allig8tors! Wish me luck! xoxo

High Gear!!!!

Happy Monday! Another beginning to another busy week. I actually went to bed earlier than normal last night so I feel pretty good gettin' some more rest. I have a lot to do to prepare for my video shoot on Wednesday. Although most of it is out of my hands and my job is to go in a sing my song over and over and over all day and look pretty but I still have to prepare! Mentally and physically! In the meantime I still have tracking to do in the studio tonite and also keep up my piano skills. Yesterday's shopping was a flop and I have to say the stores at the mall are either in transition for the season changes or something was going on cuz stock on everything was low and basically it looked like bargin basement selections on the shelves. grrrr  Well I think I better go have a bowl of special K and kick my booty into HIGH geer. hehe xoxo

No Time To Waste

Another great night in the studio last night!!! Finished tracking a new song, did the harmonies and then piano. I definitely felt good when I went home having accomplished everything we needed to. Today I slept in a little bit later than normal since I lost a lot of sleep this week going to bed at 5 am. haha Not sure what I'll do yet, but I might do some shopping for clothes for my video shoot! No time to waste even tho it's my day off. I'm hoping for that long-term and sustainable success which really doesn't allow for a lot of time off especially when you're starting said career! Of course, shopping for clothes doesn't seem like work, haha, but it's definitely about making the right choices and staying on budget! Hope your day is great and I'll catch you up tomorrow...same time, same place!! hehe xoxo

Love & Music, ~Dena~
