Since we are moving to New Jersey for the summer, I've been trying to find some kind of cool job or internship that I could do. Then it hit me! I could be an intern on the Rachel Ray show! Most of you probably know that I got my degree in Broadcast Journalism and interned for Channel 2 in Salt Lake a couple of summers ago. So yesterday I sent Rachel's people an e-mail with a picture, resume, and links to some of the shows that I hosted and anchored for at Utah State. I also told them all the ideas that I had for my summer as their intern. ha ha! Basically I told them that I want to be Rachel's "out and about" intern, where I would be her corespondent out amongst the fans. ha ha! I'm waiting to hear back from them. However, if I get rejected or they never get back to me, I'm just going to keep e-mailing and contacting them until I finally get something. Wish me luck!Monday, April 20, 2009

So this is what I'm thinking....
I've been thinking of cutting my hair. I like my long hair but since I went blonde over the summer and then went back to brunette, it's kind of damaged. So I want to chop it all off! Ha ha! Above are some ideas that I have. In case your having trouble picturing me with the short hair, there are some samples! :) The blonde one at the top is not one my ideas, I just did that for fun!

This week...
I thought I'd give an update on what's been going on up here in L-Town!
On Tuesday, Spencer did something to his back playing church ball. He's been walking around like an old man since then. He went to the chiropractor on Friday and he said that Spencer sprained his lower back. He has another appointment tomorrow. He says he feels like it's getting slightly better each day. Hopefully, after to tommorrow's appointment he'll be getting around like normal!
Ever since the fall, I've been having small issues with my bosses at the Sports Academy. I haven't been getting into arguments or anything! It's mostly been that I would try to ask questions or issue complaints and I would get ignored, or given lame excuses, or just given the "run-around." Since, as instructors, we don't work together side by side, (we mostly see other teachers before or after classes passing in the hallway) I just felt like I was the only one feeling this way, so up until now I've just kind of sucked it up dealt with it. After an employee-wide e-mail that was sent out last sunday ruffled my feathers a little, I sent both of my bosses a more "assertive" e-mail than I would normally write. They got back to me with more excuses and one of them responded kind of defensively.
On saturday, there was an instructors meeting that no one even told me about. One of the other instructors called me after the meeting and told me some of the things that came up. Apparently, she has had a lot of issues too. So we are rallying together with a few other instructors and we are meeting with our bosses and the SARC General Manager tommorrow morning. Unfortunately, we are all a little intimadated by our bosses! Ha ha! So wish me luck!
The instructor that is trying to get all of us together to, kind of, "fight back." Is one of the main Yoga instructors. It was so funny cuz everytime I have ever talked to her, she is so calm and "zen-like." But last night on the phone she was like "this is Bull-****" and getting all riled up! Spencer and I were joking that this situation has "her shakra's all out of line""her chi is so not flowin right now!" ha ha!
Friday was our anniversary! We went out to Cafe sabor and got ourselves a new lamp for our apartment as our gift to ourselves. Ha ha! I know, traditionally, you are supposed to eat your left over wedding cake on your 1st anniversary, but there wasn't any left. So I made us a mini wedding cake. It was really cute! I was square, four layers, and it was about 9 inches high. It was a fun little thing to make!
This next week is Spring Break! Spencer doesn't have school and I have the week off of teaching aerobics! we've worked out a "Spring Break schedule" so that we can get a whole bunch accomplished and we don't waste our days away. Hopefully it will prove to be a successful week!

Correction! :)
We are not getting rid our internet now! We talked the comcast guys into giving us a better rate! Yay!
One year anniversary!
On Friday it's our one year anniversary! It's kinda crazy! Time flies! We don't have anything big planned, probably just dinner somewhere or something (I know, we're boring). But I'm excited that we've reached this milestone :)
Also, we are cancelling our internet for a couple of months. So don't be offended if you make a comment on our blog or something and I don't get back to you. We'll probably have it again when we get to Newark :)

10 things....
Rules: List 10 honest and interesting things about yourself. Then tag 7 of your friends.
1. I love crafts and making things! Maybe people think this is wierd or gross, but I told Spencer that when we get a house, I don't want to spend tons of money on new furniture and decorations. I want to get old stuff from the DI and garage sales and fix it up really cute!
2. I'm terrible about getting up when my alarm goes off in the morning. I think Spencer hates the person who invented the snooze button. I seriously press it at least three or four times every morning. Spencer tells me to set my alarm for the exact latest time that I can wake up, and then just get up then! It just doesn't work that way for me.
3. I feel like I clean my house everyday and it drives me crazy! I guess that's normal for most people, but I feel like if I clean it, it should stay good for at least a couple days! I think it's cuz our apartment is so small! It looks cluttered when there are like two things sitting out on the counter!
4. I substitute swear more than I should. I say stuff like "what the helanore" or "WTF" or things like that. Especially when I'm playing games or things when I'm being competitive. I should proably stop that habit before I become - in spencer's words- a "cuss face."
5. I love to have my house smell really good! Of course everyone does, but all over out apartment you'll find scented candles, air fresheners, wall flowers, sachets, and stuff like that.
6. I am not much of a pet person. Don't get me wrong, I like animals! But i just don't think that I will ever own pets. They shed hair, you have to clean up their poop, they cost extra money to feed-take to the vet-etc , they make your house smell like an animal, they jump up or sniff or scratch or aggrivate guests. All that kind of stuff!
7. I've watched so many make-over and style shows that I think I could be a personal stylist or a make up artist. I think it would be fun!
8. I think I might try my hand at selling security systems this summer. I figure while I don't have kids I should try to make as much money as I can and save it or invest it. That way, when I do have kids, I can stay at home with them and hopefully it won't be too much of a financial strain.
9. I eat about 2 pounds of carrots a week. Weird, I know...
10. I love to travel! The top places on my list to go right now are: Italy, Greece, France, and Peru. The list will change as I cross my current list off...
