The fact that I don't even know what that means must make me a clueless blogger. I do understand that I am to share 6 things about myself. Does anyone know where this was started?

1. I love Diet Coke from the fountain with Lemon or even Lime makes it really tasty . Without any just makes for a refreshing beverage.

2. My goal in the next 6 months is to be physically ready for a sprint triathlon. (1/2 mile swim, 10 mile bike, 3 mile run) I have had knee problems from running 2 half marathons but hope that my new routine of cycling, swimming and weights will be the answer to healing. Plus I learned how to stretch my I T band.

3. I work a few jobs. My main job is at the college in the student affairs office, second is the occasional nanny job for a few families in Irvine, and just recently started working for councilwomen Christina Shea as an Council Executive Assistant working only three hours a week on letters.

4. I enjoy baking yummy goodies for my friends. I hope to find time again to start that back up.

5. I love the winter months and having reasons to dress in fun coats and turtlenecks. It is rarely done but a great movie and my down comforted cuddled up on the couch is very relaxing.

6. Last one... Of all my jobs I had since I started working the most physically changeling was my favorite. I was a ski instructor at Deer Valley for 4 months. I had new skis and boats that winter and loved being out doors everyday with children from all around the world.

Southern California

For those wondering about the fires burning in Southern California one was started by Arson Sunday evening about 9 miles up from my home. The fire, started in three separate places near Santiago Canyon and Silverado Canyon roads about 5:55 p.m. Sunday, has destroyed 14 homes and eight outbuildings, according the Orange County Fire Authority. Eight homes and 12 outbuildings have been damaged. About 22,000 acres in the mostly rural horse country east of Irvine has been blackened. Virtually every canyon community, including Trabuco, Modjeska and Silverado canyons, was evacuated.
The ashes have carried all across Irvine leaving a heavy smoke in the air and difficult to breathe. Irvine Valley College closed Monday, Wednesday- Friday. I will be enjoying my night away from class tonight and working on my Halloween costume and other projects I hope to accomplish with this vacation from work. Keep all those who have lost homes in your prayers.

ROCKTOBERFEST

The party to be seen at was this weekend in LA. The Orange County group showed up in force and rocked it. I had a great night and enjoyed making some new friends.

Perk's of my Job

On Saturday Disneyland had invited me and a guest to an hour presentation about the upcoming year of events and ticket promotions they are offering their clients. I sell Disneyland tickets to student and faculty at a discounted rate. They had a great breakfast before the presentation and a bag of gifts. I was given $20 bucks in lunch vouchers and the park hopper tickets for the day. The best part was winning a $50 gift card to spend in the park. I am sure I will use it one of these days since I still have a season pass.

Busy Life

I just have a few minutes before bed and I wanted my friends to know that life is great! I have been a little busy so I have not been blogging. Lots of Love!

Dave Matthews Concert

I have always enjoyed Dave Matthews music and saw him for the first time last summer. Last Wednesday night I got a call from a great friend saying she had two tickets that her friend was not going to be able to use and I could have them. I found a date an hour before and off we went to the Verizon Wireless Amphitheater. It was an amazing night and great concert.

My weekend in Logan

In Idaho waiting for the riders to come thru at mile 80.

Can I pull off this short hair?

It is that time again to make a tough choice about my hair. Last week I went and had bleach put in and am pretty happy with the small change. Coloring your hair is an easy choice because you can change it right back if it does not turn out right. I had a good trim 6 weeks ago and my hair is already due for another. If you have any suggestions please send them my way.

Angels Baseball

If labor day is the end of summer then I am still waiting for the weather to cool down. I spent Labor Day weekend soaking in the sun at the pool on Saturday and the Beach on Monday. I don't have pictures to share but did manage one great shot to end Labor Day weekend. I was offered just an hour before the game 4 great seats to see the Angles take on the Oakland A's. I found great company and think they all look great with me. :)

The Simpsons are everywhere

Most of the movie theaters around Orange County have been advertising this movie for months now. I just had to sit down and have a chat with Lisa, Marge and Homer about their feelings on being movie stars. I think they are camera ready for the big day.
