Why so serious?


SO. I have officially lost my MOJO.
I have realized that I am no longer the person I used to be.
AND I HATE IT.
I feel like after moving away and leaving everything behind, that I really did leave EVERYTHING behind, including myself. I thought that by doing this, that I would GROW and become a BETTER and more EVOLVED person.
FAIL.
And as much as I want to be that person I used to be again... I know I NEVER will.
I'm not one to point fingers... but I BLAME this whole issue on these job shenanigans.
I mean, being rejected and rejected, over and over again definitely doesn't help my typically POSITIVE POLLY being... but somehow has torn me down into a NEGATIVE NANCY.
NOT COOL.
Things that I need, or want, or that will ultimately make me happy, are out of reach from not having a job.
For example.
Freedom and financial stability from my parents- FAIL.
A puppy (never to replace my beloved Tink, but you know)- FAIL.
A different living situation- FAIL.
Financial leverage against Chad- FAIL.
And to simply GROW UP- FAIL.
I mean, this whole job thing... I just don't get it... well, I guess I do get it, and it sucks.
I can't get the job at the mall or restaurant because they obviously know I'm not there to stay and I can't get the job I really want because lack of experience in the field... WELL... How am I supposed to get experience if you won't give it to me??
SHEESH.
I've just changed...
Instead of SMILING and LAUGHING, I now CRY.
Instead of being FUN and LIGHT HEARTED, I am now SERIOUS.
WHY SO SERIOUS?
NOT A DAMN CLUE.
I seem to have lost my dream of being THE ULTIMATE PR, GO-TO, "IT" GIRL, and now all my time is taken up by applying for meaningless jobs at the local pancake house and shopping mall.
WHAT?
I went to college, I have a degree, I have experience...
why don't I have a job??
The economy is no longer an excuse for me.
I'm better than this.
I received 4 rejection letters yesterday, including one from a COCKTAIL WAITRESS position.
I LOST IT.
Literally, I lost it.
I not only felt like this, I'm pretty sure I looked pretty close to this little guy as well.
I needed a SERIOUS reality check.
I mean, I KNOW things could be MUCH worse, but I just hate feeling so helpless.
Thank GOD that my best friend miss Laura Lavender happened to have called me.
JUST IN TIME.
I can always count on her to NOT sugar coat the truth for me. I LOVE that. The brutal truth hurts, but sometimes whether you can handle it or not, you need the TRUTH.
Was it something I wanted to hear? Certainly not, but I needed to hear it.
She pretty much told me that it's hard for everybody right now (still not a good enough excuse for me) and that I just need to keep trying.
She suggested that I, if it comes to it, that I could jump ship and run away to Birmingham and live with her, and since we know people there, that it my be a little easier to find a job there.
That is what is so GREAT about my friends... because not only did Laura offer a place of refuge for me, but Rachel in Tallahassee did as well.
I LOVE YOU GUYS. (AND I'll LET YOU KNOW)
{And I promise that person you all remember is still in me, I just have to find it again.}
Lost and Found perhaps?

Enough of the Debbie Downer act... THAT IS JUST NOT ME! So I am in the process of DE-CLUTTERING my life... not in a theoretical sense but in a LITERAL sense... I simply have too much crap. You would think that being a long-time subscriber of Real Simple magazine that I would have done this a long time ago...
FAIL.
The problem is, there just isn't enough room for what I/we have, and since Chad and I probably aren't going to move out of this apartment as soon as I originally thought (thanks a lot joblessness), I clearly need to downsize. Downsizing isn't such a bad thing when it comes to life. As complicated as I am, I really do like things simple. So that is a work in progress...
Another work in progress... my hair. It's long now. I grew it out in attempt to have fabulous "Kardashian" hair (and ultimately give it to "Locks of Love")
Now, I'm sure that most of their hair is probably extensions, and they have people to style it, but I truly believe that I can have fabulous hair like them... all on my OWN. I believe that I'm pretty close too!
However, now that I'm doing this whole running thing, it's starting to get in the way. Not that is wasn't before I started running... it's long, stringy, takes FOREVER to dry, and takes a ton of shampoo and conditioner. Not to mention it's heavy when I put it up. Therefore, I'm considering cutting it early. It's not to the 10 inches required for Locks of Love yet, but I simply cannot seem to manage it anymore. I've even resorted to wearing hats, and we all know with my tiny forehead (or threehead, which I like to call it. haha), what hats look like on me. If you have never seen a hat on me, then you probably don't realize that when I do wear a hat, it comes so far down that it covers my eye brows and cuts off my peripherals... creating HUGE blind spots and typically giving me a headache. So, NO GO. Short hair I just think is the way to go. I used to have fairly short hair and I loved it. I thought I looked pretty hot (guilty) and more my age... You be the judge.
So yeah, that is something else on my plate that I am contemplating. Well I'm off to go drop off some applications to the mall, think about what the "F" I want to do about my hair, and to let the de-clutterization begin. I'm open for suggestions and I love your comments... so keep them coming... Also if I know you. I love and miss you and if you're not busy...















I LOVE PHONE CALLS :)

Be Ok



So, I'm clearly not very good at keeping up with this on the weekends... So let me catch you up. Just so you know, I'm in a weird mood and my tummy hurts so I'm not even sure how this is going to turn out, so bear with me...SO, I'm listening to Pandora, which I haven't in a while, and I'm not sure why. I love Pandora...it has to be one of the greatest Internet creations... EVER. Currently, I'm listening to Sara Bareilles Radio... I love her. Her music makes me happy, and also makes me feel like I'm not the only one dealing with whatever it is I'm dealing with. Her Little Voice CD is a MUST have. The Way I Am (GREAT SONG) by Ingrid Michaelson just came on, and the little pic of her cd Be Ok popped up and I believe that it is a sign that I'M GOING
TO BE OK. I literally just got off the phone with my mommy (yes, I still call her mommy) and was crying a little.
I've been trying to keep my head up about this whole job thing, but the fact that I interviewed to be a WAITRESS at a couple of restaurants and THEY DIDN'T EVEN CALL ME BACK, is starting to get to me and I'm losing it. Anyway, my mom initially called to ask if had purchased some sort of text subscription on my phone and at first I thought that it may have been some B.S. craigslist scam that I accidentally participated in... long story...BUT come to find out, it wasn't under my #, but my dad's...go figure. Who knows what he tried to sign up for this time... After those shenanigans my mom suggested that I just give up on the whole job thing and go back to school... umm, my response was... WITH WHAT MONEY?!??!
My mother, being the fabulous and {most of the time} loving mother that she is, said that her and daddy would do the best they could to help me out... which was nice... but do I really want to go back to school? Is it even worth it? It clearly didn't help the first time... And if so, for what??I'm up for suggestions... Jeez... why did I graduate in the first place? Should have just failed History II... Way to go Abby for tutoring me! Oh and, if anyone knows any sort of statistics that state a college grad makes more money and gets a better job that someone who didn't graduate from college I would like to see it, I can't find anything on that right now... On a lighter note...I had a pretty great weekend and I couldn't have asked for a more beautiful day than today. Thursday night, Chad and I continued our Valentine's Day and went to dinner and Cirque du Soleil... it was AWESOME. I love love LOVE Cirque Du Soleil! Again, if you EVER get a chance to go see one... JUST DO IT!! I was too busy enjoying it to sneak a pic, but I found a few online, so you can enjoy a little piece of what I did... (these are in no order, whatsoever)
Self explanatory... Fire Dancers... AWESOME! They practically lit their hands and feet on fire... idiotic if you ask me, but definitely entertaining!
This girl was INSANE, she started out with a ribbon on a stick, more commonly known by 80's babies as RIBBON DANCER!!! She was the best darn ribbon dancer and hula hooper I've ever witnessed...
This guy was super strong and super balanced... he must be practicing his balance exercises on the Wii Fit!!
Contortionist-ism freaks me out and when it comes to balancing, they totally put the strong man to shame...
If you ever go see a show... you MUST arrive early to see the clowns... a couple of clowns entertain the crowd before the show starts and you HAVE to get to know them, or else you really don't know what they are doing when they pop in and out during the show... SO FUNNY these clowns are...
More hula hoops... not only did she have 5... she was going super DUPER fast.
This was the "flying man" literally flying all over the place.
This is our guide throughout the show, she is the "White Queen" and sings during the whole show, however there is a "Black Queen" and she appears as White's counterpart... duh.
There were a few other acts like the Russian Bars... AMAZING... Abby and I saw a russian bar jumper/dancer/thing during the Britney Circus tour and she was awesome... Basically 2 people holding a STICK, balance someone on the stick, throw/bounce them up in the air...HIGH... and then catches them... it's nuts... if you can find a youtube video... "FAVORITE IT" RIGHT NOW! So yeah, Thursday night... a GREAT one...
So, Friday rolls around... FINALLY. As pathetic as it sounds... I enjoy weekends too. I know that my week days are typically sitting on the couch, or at my desk applying to jobs and that may not seem like much... but looking for a job is WORK. So, I use my weekends AS weekends... yeah. Back to Friday, I got up and went on a run...it's not on my schedule but I just felt like going anyway. It felt good then, but today, after running Saturday and today... I'm tired, but I just can't stop. I'm still not running for long periods of time, BUT I really enjoy being outside, and trying my hardest at something. I don't have anything tangible to work hard at right now, but there is a goal in mind and that is all I can see right now. D-I-S-N-E-Y MARATHON! My accountability partner AND fabulous friend Brittney have already decided that we are going to dress up as Disney Princesses to run it... makes me even MORE excited!
I wonder which one I should be... the obvious choice is Mulan, but I think I could pull off Pocahontas or Jasmine... your thoughts? As pale as I am right now, I could probably be Snow White because my skin is literally as WHITE as snow... I'm totally off track, so back to Friday. {P.S. Ingrid Michaelson just popped on again on Pandora and the song is called Everybody on her Everybody cd and it's a GREAT song, thought I'd throw that in there...}
So, Chad has been talking about the movie Shutter Island for a while, (it was supposed to come out last year.) Well, it finally opened on Friday, and we aren't usually "movie people" but we have been going a lot lately, so we continued on and went to see it. I'm not a huge fan of thriller or scary movies {more of a romantic comedy type ya know?} but I LOVE LEO, so I agreed to go see it. Let me say, this movie was actually really good. I blame Dr. James McKelly for brainwashing me in his film class because ever since his class, I can't stop focusing on different angles of shots, symbolism of objects, and other shenanigans like that... I just can't enjoy a movie anymore... DAMN YOU MCKELLY! Anyway, the film was great, it leaves you hanging a little, but I like to think that I know what the heck was going on... there were, of course, a few "jump out of your seat" parts (had nightmares that night) but that is probably because I'm a scaredy cat. It's a little reminiscent of Sixth Sense but Scorsese definitely did a good job on this film. {Adele just came on Pandora and if you are a female (or male I suppose) and don't own her 19 album, download it on iTunes NOW. K thanks.} I might just be snobby because I'm a LEO LOVING gal... but I liked it, I REALLY did, so I give you my word that Shutter Island is worth the $9.50. I don't offer a money back guarantee or anything, but If you don't like it... let's talk. Again, McKelly made us talk about movies, and now I like to have intellectual conversations about movies. NERD. During the movie, I managed to scarf down an ENTIRE box of Goobers.
But hey, it's the weekend and it WASN'T my beloved french fries... which by the way I haven't had since before Fat Tuesday... I really don't remember the last time I had them, but I know that I did FAIL my new year's resolution sometime in January... WHOOPS. So I converted the sans fries idea to a Lent project. I'm not Catholic but I thought it was a good enough reason to try giving up fries again. I was going to give up picking my belly button of lint... Get it? Haha, I'm stupid. At least when Chad wanted to stop at Taco Cabana on the way home from the movie (YUM), I refrained from getting ANYTHING. So go me.
Saturday came and went pretty fast. It was a gloomy day spent running at Town Lake with Chad, eating lunch at ZEN and a little shopping. We went shopping around town looking for some new workout clothes for Chad. I, being the QUEEN of clothes, already have a quite vast collection of workout clothes, so I was set... PLUS not to mention that I'm broke. We found him some AWESOME stuff. It made me really want some new flashy running stuff, but I refrained... because yeah, still broke. Anyhow, we ended up passing CAVENDER'S BOOT CITY and I insisted that we stop and take a look around. Though poor, window shopping is {TORTURE} the next best thing! I have been wanting a pair of RED cowboy boots for a while now...
I'm not sure why, probably because Jess Simpson looked HOT wearing them in the These Boots Are Made For Walking video. (Yes, I know that she didn't originally recored that song, I'm older and better than that) Anyway, I want some, and will one day get them. I've always wanted a pair of authentic cowboy boots, so why not go all out and get RED? Well, apparently Chad had secretly been wanting a pair too, not red, duh, so he ran over to the Men's section with a sparkle in his eye. Well, I can happily say that he walked out with these beauties. He literally has not stopped talking about them. He
has already conditioned them like 3 times, along with all the other boots in the house. That is what I love about Chad, when he is excited about something, he just goes nuts with it. I need to get him excited about finding me a job! Saturday night we tried out a new recipe... CHICKEN CORDON BLEU! It turned out pretty darn good. Chad is a fabulous chef, (Except for the time he ruined the chili by zesting an orange in it... long story...don't ask) I consider myself to be a pretty good cook too, well, most of the time... more long stories... so we sat down to dinner and watched the
Netflix of the week. Love Happens. I'm not going to really go into this movie, all I can say is that it is pretty sad. Not the romantic COMEDY I anticipated... but more like a romantic CRY FEST. So if any of you need a good cry... this is the movie to watch.
That finally brings us to TODAY... SUNDAY FUNDAY! I didn't sleep at all last night, not sure why. I kept having these dream spells where I would fall asleep for 10-15 minutes and have some crazy dream, then wake up and do it all over again... ALL NIGHT LONG. {great song by the way, Lionel Richie} Does that ever happen to you? Do you know why? Enlighten me, PLEASE! So this morning was not the most pleasant for me or my attitude. I didn't want to go run, but I did it anyway, but certainly NOT with a smile on my face. Chad added fuel to the flame by flicking his toothpaste covered toothbrush at me, leaving little white spots that looked like, you know what, all over my shirt, but whatever. I wasn't in the mood so I shrugged it off and just gave dirty looks back to whoever gave them to me. I clearly needed a drink. Thankfully after out park visit/run, Chad and I went over to Freddie's Place over on 1st Street. (one of the many place I applied to waitress, and haven't heard back from...)
I had never eaten there, but Chad has a couple of times, so he finally took me. And let me say,I LOVED IT. This place had a... sit down now... a BLOODY MARY BAR. Talk about a JACKPOT. Basically your ordered a shot of vodka, then it arrived in a salt rimmed plastic cup and you headed over to the ingredient covered table to construct your own personalized bloody mary. After my years of bartending at Robert Trent Jones, I consider myself to be a pretty badass bloody mary maker... so DUH, mine was delicious and was exactly what I needed. So yeah, it was a BEAUTIFUL day, and we opted to sit outside. This place is DOG friendly, so there were dogs everywhere. This was a pretty cool thing to experience, and if I ever get a doggie, I will definitely bring him/her there. I ordered the Crispy Chicken Wraps (Yum) and yes, incase you were wondering my meal was SANS fries, so go me again! I also ordered 2 mimosas, my other morning drink of choice. I'm pretty sure they used freshly squeezed OJ and that definitely made them better! We sat there for quite a while, enjoying our beverages and people watching...a hobby of mine. AND after arriving home, I immediately took a nap... HAHA. I'm such a light weight. Well, I woke up to the sound of NASCAR...
They are in California this week and my main man Jeff Burton was in the lead when I woke up, but Jimmie Johnson (4 time cup winner) ended up winning. My guys last week didn't finish up on top either. They need to get it in GEAR!!! (get it?)
K, BYE.

I NEED A JOB DOT COM


HAPPY WEDNESDAY! My day today was a fairly busy one. Let me tell you about it...
...there was a beautiful, young lady named Tiffany. She was totally fabulous and lived a fabulous life. One day Tiffany and her true love Chad jumped ship and relocated to Austin, Texas. She had high hopes for the job market in Austin, but soon figured out that the job market was an evil land and didn't have an instant opportunity for her like she expected. Tiffany felt sad and depressed and didn't know what to do. She had all these skills and ideas and they were all just melting away. So, one day she met a girl named Sarah Fulton. Miss Sarah was a princess from Dallas and was sent to help Tiffany on her adventure in Austin land. Sarah introduced her to the fabulous organization of Women in Communications. Austin fortunately had a professional chapter and it happened to be the largest in the land (like the whole nation!) Tiffany decided that this was the perfect creative outlet and the perfect way to meet people. She joined and signed on the Get Smart 2010 conference committee and loved every second of it.
Not only did she learn a lot, she made some lifelong friends as well...
Okay, so, back to reality. Every month AWC puts on a monthly luncheon with a different topic. I've been to 2 and they were SO great. I learn so much AND get a yummy lunch... JACKPOT! So today our luncheon was all about Linked In and social networking! HEY TO ALL THE FAB LADIES I MET!!!
This was perfect because I have a Linked In account but I'm pretty sure I'm not using it to my full advantage. Kim Hollenshead was the speaker and she is FABULOUS! She knows like everything there is to know about this particular social network. She said that she knows people who have gotten jobs from Linked In so after hearing that...I'm ALL IN! I'm currently working on making more connections, joining more groups, and getting more recommendations. So be on the look out for that! A funny thing... At the luncheons, we have name tags, and our name tags have our name and occupation on them. Since I don't have an occupation, I just put "I NEED A JOB.COM" I laugh because people thought that I had started up some sort of website...well NO, but I do have this blog, so I'm going to use this to my advantage... The next paragraph is going to be my I NEED A JOB.COM...
So yeah, I NEED A JOB. I graduated from Auburn University with a degree in English and Communications. I have been working since I was 16, and this is the longest I have be unemployed since. I like to consider myself the ultimate "GO-TO" girl. If you GO TO me, then I will get the job done, done right, and done on time. While pursuing my degree, I participated in numerous English and Communication courses that I believe have allowed to me to learn and utilize the English language properly in a professional and everyday setting. While attending Auburn I also had jobs and involvement that allowed me increase my interaction with people and improve on my customer service and teamwork. Including a job where I was involved in event planning, setup and breakdown and overall follow through, as well as sorority involvement where I worked with marketing, PR, and overall organization during our recruitment and annual philanthropy project. My experiences at my previous jobs have been tremendous; however, it is time to move onto a new chapter in my life. Therefore, I am seeking career opportunities in my new home Austin, Texas. I believe I have a lot of practical experience, knowledge, and skills to offer. I am smart, mature and have a very positive attitude. I am also organized, detail oriented as well as punctual. My communication skills are excellent. Being a new graduate I can take what I have learned and apply it to the clean slate. I believe that I can meet as well as exceed all expectations. I am a fast learner, energetic, creative, and work extremely well with numbers, computers, telephones and people. I am also flexible and have a lot of customer service experience, and I just happen to love it! So if anyone out there knows of anything that would fit like a glove, or even a tarp then PLEASE let me know! Thanks!
So, I have been interviewing left and right, but nothing seems to be "the job" for me... mostly because I'm not getting hired... WELL, I had a follow up interview @ Hudson on 5th today for an Event Planning position.
The position entails bringing people in during the "Happy Hour" hours. This is TOTALLY PERFECT for me. I'm a great social networker and I have been meeting people like crazy, (LOVE IT) and I really believe that I can generate new business for this place.
Possibly a new location for April's TWEET UP?!? Ahh, thoughts... SO, I think the interview went well and they said the decision should be made soon... SO CROSS YOUR FINGERS!
So, I'm getting ready to make the tuna steaks I mentioned in an earlier post... I found a fairly simple recipe. If anyone is interested here it is:
Ingredients:
  • 1/4 Cup Black Sesame Seeds
  • 1/4 Cup White Sesame Seeds
  • 1 Tablespoon of Sesame Oil
  • 2 - 6 ounce Ahi (Also known as Yellow Fin) Tuna Steaks
  • Salt and Pepper to Taste
  • Marinade / Dipping Sauce
  • 1/ 2 Cup of Low Sodium Soy Sauce (Who needs the extra sodium, right?)
  • 1 Lime (Juice and Zest - If you want more lime flavor, add another)
  • 1- 2 Cloves of Garlic Minced
  • 2 Tablespoons of Honey
  • 1 Tablespoon of Sesame Oil
  • 2 Tablespoons of Freshly Chopped Cilantro Leaves
Directions
  1. Prepare the marinade. Add all marinade ingredients to a small bowl and mix well. Reserve half of this marinade in a separate container to use as a dipping sauce.
  2. Get a glass baking dish or other non-reactive container to marinade the tuna in. You want the tuna steaks to fit snuggly in the dish so that they are surrounded nicely with the marinade. Pour the marinade into the dish and put the tuna steaks in and kind of swirl the marinade around so that you coat the fish well. Cover with some plastic wrap and refrigerate. Another option is to pour the marinade in a large zip lock bag, add the tuna, and then squeeze out the air. Marinade for 30 minutes to an hour, turning the tuna about half way through.
  3. Remove tuna from fridge and let stand at room temperature for about 20 minutes or so.
  4. Remove tuna from marinade, shaking off any excess marinade and dry on paper towels.
  5. Heat a saute pan over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of sesame oil. The oil should be hot but not smoking.
  6. While the pan is heating, arrange your sesame seeds on a flat dish. Roll the tuna around in the seeds pressing down as you roll ensuring the seeds are packed into the tuna nicely.
  7. Add the tuna to the hot saute pan and shake it a bit to make sure the tuna does not stick. Sear for 30 to 40 seconds on both sides.
  8. Remove and serve with the reserved dipping sauce.

I'll let you know how it turns out! I'm going to make some brown fried rice too.. YUM! I just love to cook! I'm off! Have a FABULOUS night!

A Day Later...YUMMY


So I got a little busy yesterday after I left the shop and didn't have a chance to make it back to you sweet blog, but now I'm back to finish up what I had once started. I was talking about my dinner at Fino with Martha and I wanted to reveal what I had to eat... because it was DELICIOUS! I got the "Mussels & Sherry Broth" which was mussels, tomatoes, grilled bread, and lemon aioli (a type of mayonnaise... once a Who Wants To Be A Millionaire, question, the dude said mustard...He should have used me as his lifeline.) YUM, and a "Mixed Green" salad with smashed avocado and parmesan crisp. YUM again! It had an extra YUMMY sherry and roasted garlic vinaigrette. THEN I had a SUPER DUPER YUMMY dessert...and it's funny because I was just talking to Chad the other day about how I never had flan, but wanted to try it... I've heard that it is comparative to pudding and jello mixed together so I was IN! As soon as the waiter mentioned flan, (Coconut Flan) my eyes lit up! I was ready for a new taste bud adventure! He brings out this delightful little pudding jello THING covered in some sort of sauce and a poached apricot, I got too excited and didn't take a picture because I dug right in. I can now say that I LOVE FLAN! Thanks again Martha for a wonderful evening! After I left the shop, I headed out to Town Lake to do my "run."
This cold air certainly isn't helping me out. I feel like I'm inhaling a tornado every time I breathe... not cool. I'm supposed to be getting used to it, but I'm just not... SO... AUSTIN WARM UP ALREADY!!! I did not move here for 40 degree weather! sheesh. BUT while I was running I did get the pleasure of seeing some FABULOUS sights... I think you will all agree. First I'm just running along and this is what I'm looking at, for those of you not in Austin, jealous?
Well, YOU SHOULD BE. If you look in the middle... that little speck is a REAL LIVE SWAN, we aren't at the zoo people, but just at the park. (Sorry the iPhone has NO zoom... I've tried a few apps but they just make my pics blurry... if you know of a good Zoom app- let me know!!) Anyway, it made me feel like I was in a fairy tale. THEN I saw this... HOLY OSCAR MEYER WIENER TRUCK!
Let me just say that this put a HUGE smile on my face. Who would have thought by going on a run I would run into THIS? Wasn't on my list of things to do but I certainly enjoyed it. So I continued to run, inhaling wind storms and when I finished, I left the park and headed to Whole Foods. Okay, this is like one of my most FAVORITE PLACES in the world. I recently bought some ahi tuna steaks and needed some ponzu sauce and wasabi powder. I'm sure I could have gotten it somewhere else, but I will use any excuse to get in there. I walked around enjoying the smells and picking up my needed items when I came around to the SALAD BAR. Now, I love me a good salad bar! I grabbed a few things and a HUGE slice of cake... Haha. I know what y'all are thinking, but it was whole grain so that makes it healthy right? WHATEVER. I don't care because I had just finished running and I deserved a reward... right?? It was whole grain strawberry shortcake with fresh strawberries, cream, and almond slivers...YUM YUM YUM!
Chad was working late so dinner was for myself and it was DELICIOUS. So I plopped on the couch, ate my dinner, took a shower and then applied for a few jobs.
When Chad got home we continued "Hollywood Week" on American Idol and we found out a few of the Top 24. A few of my faves were cut earlier in the week, but I still have a few in the running... excited to see what happens! I was off to sleep to get ready for HUMP DAY! My Wednesday would consist of a monthly AWC luncheon and my follow up interview at Hudson on 5th. So BIG DAY! Good day folks!
