Ok... its been too long!

I cannot believe a month has gone by and I haven't posted!

I've been so crazy busy with my oh so lovely life... ha..

Well, let me fill you in on some things, I am now working two jobs - Sales and Keyholder at Massage Envy Spa in San Clemente and as Project Administrator at Jones Concrete, along with taking online classes at *ugh* Saddleback College... I am ashamed that I am there, but what can I do?

My current situation sucks. I am bitter and sad more often then not. I have resorted to pumpkin bread chocolate chip cookies (even more delicious than you can imagine) and key lime pie sorbets... but I am running 3-4 times a week, lucky for my jeans! Speaking of which, I have started seeing a nutritionist because I want to be a healthier eater. No more frozen foods, processed foods, etc, yet here I am dreaming about tasty cookies and ice creams, and oh, I just ate some chocolate licorice. When I look at my "food diary" I literally want to smack myself across the face, because my nutritionist - who I have a meeting with tomorrow - she is going to want to choke me!

Since I have no idea if my family is going to pull through for my last semester at CSU, I have been looking for places to stay for the meantime. No more staying in mom's sunroom! I just can't take living at home anymore. Its not like I have boys over, ever. Or even do anything outside of work and school for that matter, but when I come home to my mother's and hide away in the sunroom, it is not nearly the sanctuary I seek after a long day working.

So, my friends Melissa, Sam and I put in an application last Friday on a 3 bedroom duplex with an ocean view and a stones throw to the beach. We should hear back early this week, and I can't decide if I am happy or sad about it. Happy to be moving out, sure, but sad that I don't know what I am going to be doing by August - when school starts. To be honest, I don't even know what I want to do with my life anymore, I don't think I ever really did.

I have really been slacking on some of my goals as well, I haven't been writing, and like I had said, I have two books in progress and a third in my mind. I haven't been learning any new languages, or learning to play the guitar like I want. But the one consistent goal I seem to have is travel. I have travelled a lot this year. Costa Rica in January, Italy in February and several Mammoth trips to visit a friend.

Trips I have for the summer include: Vegas in June for my best friend, Jessica's bachelorette party! Mexico - where I have NEVER been - in July with my friends Robert and Anton, and several of their buddies. Costa Rica, again, in August for my father's big "1980's High School Reunion" week of surfing, live bands and a bunch of fun.

Circus Freak :)

So after a fun day at work at Massage Envy undergoing more and more training (product training with Murad Skincare)  and working on my sales pitch, I learned a few things.. 1. OMG... Some of these Murad lines are for ages 23-35 and are focused on ANTI-AGING!!! Minor freakout as I realize I am getting older and apparently need to think about anti aging face care?!? whoaaa. 2. When people say that a face product is Organic... it isn't. It only needs a small percentage to be organic. 3. Ok, so after listening and testing products for the past 3 hours, I want to get a facial! haha... good thing I work at a spa.

Anyways, the fun stuff...

I signed my sister Tania, my mom and I up for an Aerial Dance class on Wednesday nights from 730-930pm. Aerial dance is kind of what you see in Cirque de Soleil with the girls in the hoops or on the silks doing all the cool things that make you wonder how the HECK they can possibly let themselves unravel from the long, suspending silk, and catch themselves in these incredible overly-stretched poses!!

Really, really cool.

So of course, me being the dare devil that I am, the gymnast and cheerleader in me decided that I absolutely just HAD to do this. I am glad I did! It was so much fun! We learned some neat moves on the hoops, hammock(which you see me on) and the tissu(or silks).

I had a hard time on the tissu due to my lack of shoulder.. and in fact, I really need a massage.. *cough* thankfully I work at a massage spa*cough*

The time is now... Go learn something new you guys.. Life is too short and you have to have fun with it.

HOLY CRAP ITS MARCH?!?!

WHOA!! Where did the time go? I cannot believe it is already March. Well.. I better start working harder on my New Year's Resolutions.. Well I have been a little bit..

Lets recap those goals..

1. Travel - Enjoy the world
2. Write - Express to remember, forget and learn
3. Speak - Learn a new language
4. Play - Pick up a guitar
5. Learn - Finish College

Yes, it is already March and I have visited 2 countries, Costa Rica and Italy. So I have been faithful to Goal 1. It is early in the year, maybe I will have more traveling. I know I will be moving back to Colorado and going to Las Vegas for a weekend for my best friend's bachelorette party! So that is some travel...

I have been writing on a regular basis. I write here in my blog, in my pretty pink journal, and I am trying to work on two very different books. Goal 2: We are doing well :)

Speak... yikes this is a hard one for me, but I have been learning some Italian. Some days it is slow, others it comes easy. I can understand a lot more than I can respond! So Goal 3 - we have some work to do..

Now, Goals 4 and 5 - I have not even touched yet. I have thought about them, but haven't exactly done anything about it yet. Time to get crackin!

Hopefully I will have an idea about Goal 5 by the end of March. Hey, thats my March goal! Haha..

New Years :)

Ah, a new year, a new me. Right? Isn't that how its supposed to be?

New Years Goals for 2010:
1. Travel - Enjoy the world
2. Write - Express to remember, forget, and learn
3. Speak - Learn a new language
4. Play - Pick up a guitar
5. Learn - Finish college

I had the most WONDERFUL New Years, ever. I drove up to the mountains to see this guy I am crazy about, and got there around 8pm. The first thing I did was kiss him. We shared several last kisses of 2009 and stole away for some last private moments of 2009. Holding my glass of champagne in one hand, and his hand in the other, pressing myself close to him and resting my cheek on his shoulder, we count down the last seconds of 2009. Friends around us cheered each other, high-fived and hugged while we shared our first kiss of the new year.

I couldn't be happier then to spend these special moments with him. We smiled and kissed the rest of the night until we returned to his room, happy, giggling, and playing around. We started the year in the best kinds of ways.. 4 times ;) I am head over heels for this boy. I am going to miss him.

The next morning, he left to work and I left to ring in the new year snowboarding with my family - slightly hungover. While on the lift, I got a text from him - and I couldn't stop smiling. It simply said, "Would you like to go on a date with me tonight???"

I melted. This would be our first date, the first day of the year. Cute... We had dinner and saw Sherlock Holmes, and I fell asleep in his arms..

Perfect first day.
