My quest......

Ok, the quest at hand is to find a survival job that allows me to still persue my acting/singing/whatever. Now there are several characteristics that this job must possess.
#1 Good people and something I feel passionately about (ex. performing arts, animals(especially dogs), fashion, planning things, problem solving, shopping, creating, and ministries). Shouldn't be too hard, right?
#2 Money, more than I am making now ( I have things to save up for and bills to pay off!)
#3 Flexibility (so I can still hit up auditions and travel away for concerts and shows...)
Ok, I think those are the only three requirements.
As for me,
I have a Bachelors Degree, am smart (so I've been told), crafty (definately), really good at solving problems, personable, punctual, able to multi task in a single bound, extremely proficient with online research, professional, punctual, able to meet dealines, creative, and have a variety experience.
I have worked in the food industry and have countless experience, everything from catering, to bartending, to country clubs, to fast paced restaurants...
Administrative/clerical work......I have done office management, payroll, invoicing, bill paying, customer service, production efficiency reports, answering phones, filing, QuickBooks, Microsoft Outlook, data entry etc..
Sales-Outside sales for an employment agency, tele-fundraising for a theatre company
Retail-Bloomingdales, Metropolitan Opera Shop

This is a general overview of things that I have done.
I am looking for ideas....anyone? I have a few crazy out there ideas that i am willing to discuss for feedback. Look for it, coming soon!

The new Elle Woods

I kind of got wrapped up in the MTV reality show "The search for Elle Woods" Well, this past Monday the winner was announced Bailey Hanks, 20 years old! Wow, what an incredible opportunity for this talented young lady. I must say, that I know from experience how hard it is to do it the old fashioned way, and how lucky Miss Hanks is for being able to skip all that other stuff. I just read a review that said she did great on her opening night and I am envious and happy for her all at the same time. She seems like a really down to earth, kind hearted girl...perfect for the role of Elle Woods! All I have to say is, next time i get the chance, I am auditioning for whatever I can; be it reality show, or film or whatever I may be right for! You must be proactive to get results, and I have been lazy! Time to perk up and get in the game!

The Bible Belt

Why is it ok for a church to push away people that want to be involved? Isn't the church supposed to be an accepting forgiving, helpful place? I have noticed some big differences since living in the bible belt. I never have and still don't consider myself a bad person, so why am I being judged based on an assumption? Call me crazy, but shouldn't the church be embracing it's members and helping and encouraging them to grow as Christians?

Am I strange? Part 1

So, I know that I do things sometimes that may be a little strange. Things I'm pretty sure other people don't do. SO, I am going to make a list of said things and see if they are actually strange.......or maybe you do them too???????????

1.Sometimes when I drive and arrive at my destination, I don't get out of the car. Sometimes, I just sit there for about ten minutes......not really doing anything, car off.....just sitting there.
2. I love pedicures, but hate manicures. And never use clippers on my fingers....only toes.
3. I only like to drink milk if it has Ice in it.
4. Sometimes I invent words by putting two words together( I think I get this quality from my Dad). It is completely subconcious and unintentional.
5. I don't like peppers....(i know this one is a stretch, but it's harder than you think to come up with strange quirks) (I'm sure I will come up with more later, but for now........I would love your thoughts).

Looking for a Dog!

Well,

Frank and I have been talking more and more about getting a dog, so we have been taking the occasional walk down the street to the dog park to socialize with other peoples dogs! Well I, like Danielle, am in love witht the Golden Doodle, but I found a new breed to be in love with It is called the Lagatto Romanoglo, and it sounds perfect. Good temperment, no health problems, loving, loyal, easily trained, really smart, non shedding, really really cute. Anyone have any other suggestions or comments. I'm not sure of the price yet, but am inquiring. Let me know what you think.

Workout and Diet Buddies

I am convinced that this is the best way for me to lose weight. Every other time I have succeeded in losing weight it's been with the help of weight watchers, the gym and a buddy. EVERY SINGLE TIME.
I don't know whether it's the comraderie or the competition that pushes me more, but it helps so much. I can't find a buddy here. I mean there must be other people out there who want to lose weight and are looking for a gym/ww buddy too....right? Ten lbs, that's all I want to lose........If anyone has any ideas, I am open to them!
Thanks

I've been a bad blogger

I guess I just got busy. Anyways to quickly recap some of the big events. My one woman show "against type" went really well. The audience was not huge but very appreciative and I was proud of the performance that I put out, so i will mark that as a success.
Frank and I went camping last weekend. We had a great time although we were caught in the middle of a huge thunderstorm our second night. It was my first time camping in a storm like that. It was scary, but exciting!
It looks like this is going to be a summer of trying to keep it cheap. I am continuing to take any money making opps I can get to try to get out of debt and contiune to save. Since I did Dave Ramsey's financial peace last year with Frank, I have been a completely different person. I don't use my credit cards at all anymore, and extra money goes first to paying down bills and debt! I am looking forward to the day when I can say, I am debt free and I have a financial future where I can give freely, pay all bills with no problems, retire without debt and have some money on the side.
