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.

Job Hunt

I had an interview Friday at a cute clothing store a few streets over from my house called "Heavenly Couture" and honestly, the sales girls are all like 15 and incredibly immature. I cannot tell you HOW MANY TIMES while I was waiting for my interview did I hear the phrases, "Uhm, who works here?" or "I need a fitting room, where is the girl?" or "Uh, where's the sales girls, I'm ready to check out.." or this was my favorite.. "Really, I have been waiting up here to check out for 15 minutes, I'm about ready to just walk out and forget it."

Coming from a prior clothing sales girl - THAT is UNACCEPTABLE!!!!  Ugh. And meantime they are all giggling and gossiping in the back of the store.

But I had an interview Saturday with Massage Envy in San Clemente. After a brief chat with the owners and managers, they hired me on the spot! The cool thing is, that I can transfer to a Massage Envy in Colorado! They said my training would start either Tuesday or Wednesday and they would email me to let me know.

So... as I had plans already to head up to Mammoth to see a certain boy.. I decided to continue with my trip. I hadn't seen him since before I left for Italy. Unfortunately, my trip was cut short, as they decided they needed me on Monday, but the trip was worth it - he always is.

I left him at 8pm and was asleep by 1am. My first day of training started at 10! I was pretty tired, but I made it through the day, and I love my new job!
