half way over...
i can't believe summer is just about half way over. oh how fast the time goes. this summer has been a change of pace from last summer where i was laying out by the pool every afternoon and waitressing at texas road house every night. i guess it is a good thing that i am puttin my big girl pants on now and getting a real job. even though that means less pool time. my job this summer is a public relations internship at red butte gardens in salt lake. it is a nonprofit organization affiliated with the university of utah. their summer concert series are bomb. it has been a neat experience helping prepare for these concerts because i love music!! the perks of the job aren't bad either. recently i got two VIP tickets to my favorite band she & him... not bad, not bad at all.
besides workin every day at one of my three jobs, (catering, red butte gardens and nannying) i have been taking weekends trips to to LA to see my beau. the first time around i drove... by myself, talk about the longest trip EVER, the second time Yourdanos bought my plane ticket (what a sweetheart), and this last time my dad had skymiles he let me borrow so i bought my plane ticket for very cheap ($139). LA has practically been my second home this summer and it has been awesome.
what i have been up to lately
recently i have become a little obsessed with pinterest. i know everyone else is like pinterest is not a new fad, but it has taken me years to really get into it. i use to only pin when i was really bored and now it is like i use all my free time to pin and i can't pin enough!!!! the funny thing about pinterest however, is that all the pictures are really cute but i never actually do any of it. but i really fell in love with these vases. they looked so cute and easy. the vases are painted from the inside not the out. even though i love how they turned out it was still kind of hard. i had trouble getting the paint in certain places on the vase. the trick is (i found out on the last vase), is putting a little water at the bottom and then tipping the vase upside down so the paint runs. i guess it is a tip for next time :)
nannying my kiddies
STELLA
SAM
this week i started my nanny job and it has already been a blast. it doesn't even feel like work, we just hang out everyday. if how i act as a nanny will translate to how i am as a mother i am a little worried. i have realized i am the biggest pushover in the world and i say yes to everything. stella and sam can really convince me to do anything. stella is like it sounds. she is a crazy energetic little child. oh my goodness that girl has got energy. she lives life at a ten everyday! sam is such a sweetheart and a lot smarter than i am and i am ten years his senior. today these two helped me paint my vases and as a thank you i bought them slurpies at seven eleven. they are lots of fun and if the rest of the summer goes like this week we are all in for a really good time.
