Oooohhhh Me...

I know everyone says I would date myself if I could, and think I agree with them. lol.

Chip Willis posted a picture of me the other day on facebook and I was in love. Fitting, the picture was of me.

I have taken a lot of pictures this year that I am super excited for (promise to post them soon!)

Thats really all... I have been attempting to eat healthy, work out once in awhile and work more but you can only do so much...

What a slacker attitude! I am and will continue to work hard.

p.s. I was in a Safe Auto commercial.

Fireflys & Flyaways

The summer is almost gone. I started this year on a mission... a mission to become the best model I could be. So far the journey is a little slow but I haven't lost sight of what I want to accomplish.

I read a story about fireflys becoming extinct. Watching those beautiful twinkling lights of summer fade, sorta makes me feel bad for keeping them in my jelly jars so many years ago. Unlike the fireflys, I refuse to let my light fade away.

The last few months have been steady. Thanks to a L'Bri industry video and a few promos, I can add to my resume.

Not many shoots these past few months, but those that have taken place have made me pretty happy. Chip, Steve and Giles, thank you. The only thing that has bothered me is my hair. I thinks its time for a haircut!

I have to work tonight but hopefully one night soon, I can sit on my patio, look off into the distance and see those twinkling lights shining brightly.

Hit Me With Your Best Shot

Yes Pat Benetar you are an amazing songstress. Not only have I had that song in my head for a week but I also shot with Chip.

Again and again he continues to wow me!

Progress and Pasta

Just ate some spaghetti... ugh carbs! I am making progress though. Progress with my body and my career.

Hmm... whats going on in my life? Thursday I hope to shoot with Chip, Friday I have a fitting and Sunday I am working a promo at Martini Park. I was hoping to work a promo at Rock on the Range but the timing just doesn't work. I also signed with Heyman, obviously not an exclusive contract, but just someting to help get a few more jobs.

Progress is healthy. I feel good. Great, actually. One thing I have learned in my life is thinking positively will pay off.

I feel like I am bouncing from topic to topic and off the walls! My mind is not really focusing because at the moment I feel like I have ADD! Why? Believe me I am a Starbucks lover but Crimson Cup is a close second and today they have $1.00 lattes... all day, any size, any flavor!

Drink a quadruple shot, soy, vanilla latte and then work out and you will feel great! I do.

Well more updates to come!

Who Knew?

Yes, who knew that if I wanted to start shooting again, start working on making 2009 "my year," all I had to do was try! Wow!

I started to market myself again. Started to actually try and guess what? It worked. I haven't done any shoots yet, but I have set some up! I should have started trying earlier and who knows, I could have had my portfolio complete by now.

These last couple of weeks have been pretty awesome. Working out and taking initiative to be the model I know I can be has definately helped to boost my confidence. I needed that. I haven't felt like me for awhile now and it's nice to get a glimpse of who I use to be. Who I know I can be again.

Sunday I am suppose to do a model showcase, so we will see how that goes. Hopefully I will have some new shots to share...

p.s. Chip... lets shoot already!!!

I Am a Liar!

Well, maybe I shouldn't be so hard on myself. But I did lie. Said I was going to the gym two days after my last post, didn't happen. I did do crunches on the floor of my bedroom for a couple days, but still didn't even think twice about the gym.

So I made up for it. Went yesterday... AND today!

This blog is very intriguing, all about my adventures in modeling. The road to me becoming someone great in 2009...
Sorry it's not everything you imagined and more. Just me getting excited about my fourth time @ the gym in a year and some other nonsence!

Well that little spurt of self doubt and sarcasm left my mind speechless so I guess I will go eat a tuna sandwich instead of this.

Not So Bad

So I went to the gym. Not once, but twice. It wasn't that bad. Now the hard part is to continue to go. I think this time around it will be easier because I had to finally face the facts. I am not the same girl (physically) as I was two years ago, and that makes me sad. I guess we will see. Two more days and I will walk in that gym again, run two to three miles and smile. It is my year!
