Tonight is DATE NIGHT!!! I'm excited. Last date night we had was on me. I know...how modern especially since I do not have a job! I bought dinner and we went to the Harry Potter premiere. Despite the little tiff we had in our three or four hour wait between dinner and the movie, our date night went great!
Tonight is all on him! He's taking me out for sushi (YUMMY) and then we're going to see whatever movie I want to go see. Only problem...I CAN'T DECIDE WHAT TO SEE!!!
We live in a little po-dunk town so we do not have much to pick from. We have already seen Harry Potter and Transformers. I was not really interested in seeing Captain America in theaters and the last showing of Cars 2 just happens to start 10 minutes before he gets off work so here is what I have to pick from:
Cowboys and Aliens
Friends with Benefits
Horrible Bosses
Smurfs (2D b/c we are not good enough to have 3D movies in this town anymore)
I have read and heard nothing but good things about Friends with Benefits and Horrible Bosses but have not really heard anything about Cowboys and Aliens or Smurfs. I think it may come down to a coin toss between Friends with Benefits and Horrible Bosses. Now if only I could find that damn quarter I could make a decision now. I suppose it is hard to have change for someone who very rarely ever carries cash!
So I am now going to post this lovely blog, copy the link to Twitter to see if I can get a reader or two, fix my hair that somehow went from straight last night to half straight/half curly (conundrum) this morning and maybe put on a little make up and, hell, I might even change my clothes into something a little cuter! I still cannot wear my bra with straps b/c my sunburn from last weekend still hurts too much and man am I peeling like a mo-fo!
Until next time!

What Reminds You of Fall
I have a new poll up and ready for votes! My last poll I got one vote...only one! I have extended the length of this poll to over a month! In the midst of this summer heat we find ourselves sometimes thinking of the seasons and Fall is one of my favorite seasons! So what reminds you of Fall? The smell of cinnamon and nutmeg...well all the spices used in pumpkin pie remind me of Fall. The leaves changing colors on the trees from the bright greens to yellows and oranges and reds. The crisp, slightly damp air that almost makes you feel colder than any winter day. Oh how I wish to experience all the seasons again! Living on the Pacific Coast the last three years has limited what type of seasons I get. I get winters with cold, wet rain and maybe a dusting of snow, springs filled with more chilly rain, summer days that are either cold and wet or sunny and cool and fall usually has an Indian Summer. I cannot complain too much since I lived in New Orleans for five years before here where the seasons are Hot, Really Hot, Painfully Hot, and Slightly Cool. Be prepared to comment and tell me what reminds you of fall! I look forward to seeing some responses!
Until next time!
Until next time!

What To Do On This Beautiful Day?
The sun is shining, the birds are churping. What is a girl to do on a day like today? I went for a run last night in the rain. My new app on my Droid, RunKeeper said that I ran 1.24 miles but when it was reading out my stats it said I ran 1.23 miles. Either way I ran the whole thing and I haven't gone running in months. I really wish there was some place close that I could take my roller blades and just go. There is a pretty smooth trail around the lake but it's not really safe to go by yourself so I won't go.
But seriously...what am I going to do today? Am I going to stay all cooped up in this house all day? Am I going to take the dog and go for a walk at the beach? Am I going to go for a walk or run by myself? Wanna know the most likely answer? I'm probably gonna stay home. As much as I would love to go out, if I did I would try and run errands and that's just gas that I can't afford to use up right now. Plus I have a long day of driving ahead of me in a couple of days.
This time Thursday I plan to be getting my stuff into my car at the gym and getting ready to head home. I can't wait to see my momma! I was texting her last night and asked her if there was any tax-free liquor I needed to grab before I came home and she said no. I told her I have a cherry lemonade vodka I am going to bring and she said she has rum, wine, and limoncello (sp). "What about the tequila?" And she has that too! She said she'll need that since we're staying in my Grandma's motor home. Oh boy are we going to bring the party to the annual family camping trip this year!
Well I do have some laundry that I need to finish up and I really don't want to! Someone broke part of the lint trap in the dryer so it always seems like my socks or other articles of MY clothing are always getting sucked down into it and getting covered in lint and then I have to rewash them!

I'm So Excited and I Just Can't Hide It!
Cheesy title I know but I really am super pumped. While cruising the Zumba Forum looking to see if anyone was advertising for a Zumba instructor, I came across an instructor leaving the Seattle area and is looking for possible teaching position in her new location. She included her email address so I emailed her and asked if either of the places she is currently teaching at are or will be looking to fill her spot or just looking in general. I asked her to keep her eyes and ears open for me if it was okay and she got back to me and said one of the places she works at is looking for someone to teach on Sundays and gave me the name and phone number of the person to contact.
I finally got the nerve to call today. The person I needed to talk to answered the phone! Talk about nervous and excited all at the same time. I told her how I had heard about the position and how I had gotten her name and contact info and she said that I had perfect timing because she was getting ready to post an ad for the position. I told her I am going to be up in the Everett area at the end of this week before I go camping and told her I could meet with her Friday morning and she said that would be great! Now I just need to get in touch with my mom and find out when she was wanting to leave to go camping and see if we can just make a detour through Seattle before we head to Cle Elum!
I am so excited that I am still shaking a little! I did not know what to expect but I just really hope that I get the job! It gives me one more thing to look forward to when I move! I am waiting for one of my friends to call me because she said that her gym only offers two Zumba classes and she wishes that there were more...so I am going to have her ask her gym if they would consider adding a class or two and that she knows an instructor! Hopefully she can get the information of who I would need to contact in order to try and get a job! I hope if I get this one job first that everything else will go as smoothly!
Until next time!

Adventure Day
I thought today was going to be just a lazy Sunday. I thought I would spend the day lounging around, playing on the computer and watching movies or tv shows on Netflix. I woke up this morning and was checking out Facebook and I noticed a friend had posted that she went on a hike and it tracked her distance, time and even her calories that she had burned. It got me thinking about an app I had downloaded onto my Droid 2. It's called RunKeeper. It can be accessed on the web at runkeeper.com. I decided to see all of what it had to offer. I explored it on my phone and then went online and linked it to my Twitter and Facebook accounts and decided to take it for a test drive.
My boyfriend and I drove out to Cape Arago and went hiking on one of the trails. It tracks how far you go by GPS but for some reason my phone wouldn't pick up a signal. It took about 1.5 miles up the trail before I finally got a signal. By the time we got back it said that we had hiked over three miles (so in reality it was over four and probably close to five) and said that it had taken us under 2 hours and I had burned almost 500 calories.
I think I have fallen in love with this app. I might try it out tomorrow and go for a run and see how it does that way. I posted it to Facebook and Twitter and on our way back we stopped at the General Store and picked up some liquor and then hit Walmart where we got the rest of what we needed to hit the beach and roast some hot dogs! We just got back and it was great. I mean it was just the two of us and it could have been more fun if there were others there but I had a few hot dogs, he cooked up some steak pieces and we had a couple of s'mores.
Now I think it's just about time to type up a rough draft of a Fitness Resume. I figured it would be good to have one strictly for trying to get jobs teaching Zumba. Have the dates of when I got my licenses and how long I have been teaching those classes and whatnot. I figured that if I were trying to get a job working at a gym just to work there then my normal resume would work but for getting a job specific to the training that I have would be a good idea to have a separate one.
Until next time!
