Hop on the LA Leapfrogging Bangwagon!

Holy crap!

Why do I feel as though I have FAILED to let you all in on my new endeavor? Well my friend Armen and I are starting a web series called LA Leapfrogging. What we will be doing is going to random locations around LA and asking "tough" questions (AKA: super random, raunchy, hysterical) and filming people's reactions! Totally stoked about this. We are filming episode # 2 tomorrow and stay tooned for it to be posted on June 8th (that's Wednesday)...

Please check out our You Tube channel and Facebook Fan page!

So here is an update on what's coming up in my life:


1. I am going to start writing for the web site: examiner.com (I will be a nutrition writer, right up my alley for sure!)... When I get my web page, etc I will post a link here to it so you can all follow me there... and spread the word to your friends, etc! I need readers/viewers/comments!!!


2. I will be continuing to intern @ KMGH (ABC) in Denver (Sunday & Tuesday morning shifts... 6am call time on Sunday & 4am call time on Tuesday)


3. I will be going down to Santa Fe for 4th of July... My family has a home there and we just redid our kitchen & constructed an outdoor kitchen... bring on the grilling!!


4. My 23rd Birthday is in ONE WEEK... ew I am getting up there... Any ideas on what I should do?


....


Yea, not too much. You know I would have added one more thing although I think if I mention it I might throw my computer out the window because I am soooo dang angry about it right now! GRRRRR!! These past 2 days have been completely wasted! I will never get them back, EVER!

ToRNaDO!

AHHHHHH!

I Sprung Forward...

All I have to say is... I went to bed last night at around 11 (or I guess it was midnight) and I woke up this morning @ 3:30 (although the clock now says 4:30)... I had to go intern at ABC DENVER - Now I enjoy interning a great deal but MAN WAS WAKING UP EARLY THIS MORNING BRUTAL... Oh well, at least I can come home and NAP after wards!


So yea, Happy Springing Peoples!!


Get to bed early tonight! I just read that the most accidents occur the Monday after the Spring time change because we are not adjusted to the one less hour of sleep!

UPDATER!!!

So yea, I figured I'd just post a quick update on things... nothing TOO special is going on... but things ARE "GOING ON"...




1. Started my new internship today as a WEATHER INTERN... AND MADE MY ON CAMERA DEBUT! TAKE THAT COLORADO... Hope you enjoyed me on the tube because there will be a lot more of where that came from!

(yep, that's where I go to school... CU-Boulder)

2. Started Spring Semester last Monday... have tomorrow (Monday) off... Only have class Monday, Wednesday & Friday... Taking 3 classes for the time being... Will have a 4th class during the month of February... and then a 5th class (the 4th will end) in March... until mid-April... and then NO FINALS... SO school for me is done... APRIL 30th! Wo Wo!

(Amalfi Coast, Italy)

3. When school is over for the "year" my family and I will be headed to ITALY! Yep, originally it was TURKEY but my dad is a scardi-cat and wants to stay in Europe... well I cannot complain, Italy is still cool... PLUS THERE ARE CUTER BOYS I AM SURE.. OH AND BETTER FOOD...?!?! ha ha! No offense TURKEY but I like Olive Oil better than... YOGURT!

(Yea, that's NOT ME... or my trainer... Although my trainer has a HOT BOD... JUST LIKE THAT... Perhaps which is why I am weight training in the first place? We all need some sort of motivation right?)

4. I am officially weight training (yea for me that's big news because I used to never even LOOK at dumb bells...)




5. Oh... I am once again going to graduate in DECEMBER 2010... instead of MAY 2010... My parents think it's best for me to just simply stay in school... and since there seems to be NO JOBS WHAT SO EVER out there... SURE WHY NOT!?! ha ha!




6. But since I am staying in school I am applying to every ENTERTAINMENT internship under the sun for the summer months because... the ENTERTAINMENT WORLD needs me! I wonder which company will be FIGHTING over me later this spring!!! (HA HA, yep... NONE PROBABLY!!)


.... You know, I thought I had a lot more going on in my life... Oh well I do but it's not like i am going to update you on the pages in X & Y book that I have to read and all the topics to papers I have to write... I will save you from that TORTURE... unless you're interested in say... WRITING THEM FOR ME?!?!?! ha ha ha!


Any ways... I'm OUT... I HAVE TO WATCH "THE GOLDEN GLOBES' RED CARPET" so I can get tips on interviewing celebrities on the red carpet... IF I close my eyes I can see myself in a strapless black dress with a bit of blue ribbon intertoven... on the red carpet interviewing... oh who am I kidding, I cannot single out any one in particular HUNKY celebrity cause they're all pretty fine... well except for the DUDE who's in THE HANG OVER... who plays ALAN... Ah ha ha ha ha!

Some Updates...

Well since the year is coming to an end, I thought I'd give an update about... my life!! (I know you all care OH SO MUCH!!)


So here's what's going down in my world:



- The Semester for me has been pretty much OVER since December 3rd @ 1:15pm!



- Interning at ABC (being the general news intern) pretty much ended YESTERDAY!


- I anchored my own show at ABC


- I will hopefully be interning at ABC next semester but as a WEATHER intern so I have more of a focus.




- I finally got around to taking a picture of that AWESOMELY DELICIOUS recipe I posted a few days back... here it is:




- I am graduating college in May 2010...




- After graduation my family and I are going to TURKEY for 10 days!




- My credit card was murdered by X-Mas... I am just that good of a gift giver!!


- I am leaving Boulder, CO this coming Saturday for an ENTIRE MONTH... I am going home to recoop, relax and prepare myself for this coming spring semester which I have a feeling might "kick my butt"!!!




- My car "wolfie" decided he wasn't feeling so good last night when I got home... but I brought him to the doctor today and he seems to be doing a lot better... or so I think?!?!




- The weather in Boulder has been in the low teens for the past four days and it doesn't seem to be getting any better until Friday! Oh but then I leave to go home where these temperatures will continue (I live in northern Wyoming)...


- I am going to Salt Lake City on the 17th... with my mommy... it's not really a vaca though, she has to have a medical procedure done :(




- I bought an awesomely comfy blanket!! (YES THIS IS BIG NEWS! ha ha)




- I didn't have a stomach ache last night (also INCREDIBLY BIG NEWS!! - I typically have stomach aches EVERY single night)


- My voice tape for my radio production class in due on Wednesday




- My resume website is due on Friday


- I have constantly been rejected from all modeling gigs because I am a measly 5'2''!!



*Alright, I'll stop there because by the end of this list it just sounds like I am complaining! ha ha!

WHAT'S UP WITH YOU??

Looking Into The Future

So it's Friday - Party!!! Oh yea, that's me for sure... Any ways - not to bum anyone out but I am already thinking about Monday because... Monday is the first day I start my new job (well, it's actually an internship but still - I want it to progress into a job someday so I must treat it that way). I will be interning at ABC (yes the TV station).


I thought I might talk about what to wear when you're on the job. While I know all jobs require different things, generally no one can walk into work wearing PJ bottoms and a see-through night shirt (which is honestly TOO BAD because that is the bulk of the contents in my closet!)... Since my closet consists of mainly these things, I had to ram shack my mother's closet to find some professional gear (and don't worry my mother has good taste, I am NOT going to be wearing anything from back in the 70s or 80s that have shoulder pads and checkers!).


So ladies... if you're struggling to figure out what to wear in a professional setting... here is what I have come up with:


1. Blazers... back in the day everyone cringed at the word blazer but honestly, these days there have been VAST improvements and a lot of blazers are quite cute (that is if you get them fitted properly)...
*Some brand names I have in my closet: Tahari, Barneys, Theory, Gianfranco Ferre


2. Unripped, Neat Pants... so here is where I will be cheating a bit but honestly I think I may be able to get away with it because these pants are very good quality with no rips, tears, etc... I will be wearing yoga pants. I know what you're thinking but if you check out HARD TAIL or SO LOW brand yoga pants you might see that I am not completely off my rocker - these pants are legit and since the blazers I will be wearing cover the waist region, the fold-over probably will not be seen.
*Some brands I have in my closet: Hard Tail, So Low, Feathers, Juicy Couture


3. High Heeled Sneakers... who am I kidding, I can't go on shoot location, fetch coffee at the speed of light or even climb stairs in high heels that have no back strap and since it is turning fall... soon to be winter, I need some close toe action. Whoever invented high heeled sneakers is a pure genius! I could run a marathon in these sucks PLUS they give me 3 to 5 more inches on my midget height and are comfortable so I don't have to worry about blisters while interviewing the star of the Broncos.
*Some brands I have in my closet: Steve Madden, MIA, Guess, Nanette Lapore, Michael Kors


4. Flowy and Neat Tube Tops... once again I know what you're thinking, but in a cold studio like ABC (the equipment needs a cold environment to work at their peak)... I definitely WON'T be taking off my blazer, in fact I will probably be putting another one on! So in my eyes, I believe that wearing a little shirt that doesn't overpower the beautiful blazer you will be donning is a fashion DO... although really who am I... I went to class today in soffe shorts, an over sized Jackson Hole fleece sweater and a t-shirt that was a bit too long for my short torso...
*Some brands I have in my closet: Victoria Secret


5. Purse... what woman doesn't own one of these magical bags... the things we can tuck away in these bad boys is awesome! Personally I get tote bags large enough so that I can put a water bottle, a tupperwear container (lunch - must take that with me), 6 packs of gum (yea, excessive but true), my wallet, keys, cell phone, really pretty much the entire contents of my apartment goes in there - I am sure when people see my bulging bag they wonder if a small puppy will pop out... if only, I would love a mini doberman pinscher!
*Some brands I have in my closet: Coach, Balenciaga, Chloe




~So yea, that's my list in a nutshell... anyone have anything I forgot - Feel free to let me know!

What's Most Important

So I just got an internship for the fall at channel 7... or as some may know it at ABC... in Denver, Colorado. There are three shifts that I can choose to intern during...


Shift #1: 4am until 1pm
Shift #2: 8:30am until 5:30pm
Shift #3: 2pm until 10:30pm

(Dusk or Dawn? Can you Guess?)

Now I must also bare in mind that the commute to Denver is anywhere from 25 to 50 minutes (depending on the hours and traffic - probably closer to 50 minutes at 8:30am and 25 minutes at 2pm)... and on top of that commute I MUST exercise before starting the day NO MATTER WHAT... So what do you think is more important, sleep or exercise? I am in a bind right now because I know no matter what I am going to be lacking sleep this fall and won't be able to catch up on it until Winter Break (which is mid-December)...


While it would be ideal to get BOTH sleep and exercise (exactly what I am doing now because my on-line class doesn't require me to go anywhere at any specific hour)... I have a feeling a couple times during this internship I am going to have to forfeit one of them and since I am such a gym rat... it may just be the sleep component which will do a number on the bags under my eyes! ha ha.

(Ha Ha, that's me "sleeping" at a previous job - because I woke up early to exercise!)

According to some other websites... getting 7 to 8 hours of sleep is TOPS over waking up early to exercise... so does that mean I shouldn't feel guilty if I don't work out a couple times?


But other websites tell me that working out in the morning is PRIMAL... so should I sacrifice sleep?

(Look at what I would MISS if I didn't exercise! Ha - probably NOT actually considering I would be up before the sun - and I wouldn't go hiking that early because the animals would EAT ME!)

Man what a tough decision considering these two activities are my favorite! Perhaps I can work out my "own hours" with my internship coordinator? Yeah right, I cannot "make my own hours" until I get a lot higher up in the journalism "food chain"... Right now I am a slice of ham.... when I become Prime Grass-fed Fillet Mignon... then MAYBE I can start dictating what I want! But for now I just need to BUST MY BUTT (hm, I guess I am going with the exercise?) - I mean honestly, how many people can say they got the experience to intern at a news station which really means going "behind the scenes" at all sorts of different places!


No matter what - experience triumphs BOTH sleep and exercise!
