More Ice.

Aside from the job I had with Matt on Saturday morning, I spent a vast majority of the weekend with the ice girls getting tanned by our sponsors, EO Tan, and getting our pictures taken. While (a little bit of) drama/cliques have started within the group already, we still had a lot of fun this weekend and I have stayed out of the cattiness. I think they like me well enough. They keep saying I remind them of one of the girls from last year, so hopefully that is a good thing.

I finally got a spray tan! Courtney and I have had this on our to do list for years, since high school, so I was pretty excited about it. I am pretty excited about my bronzing and I am looking forward to being tan all through the winter.

Our uniforms aren't ready yet, so we had to come up with different outfits for this shoot. It was kind of a pain and I was disappointing because I really wanted out uniforms! But we went shopping together so that was kind of fun. The fake uniforms came out pretty cute too!

So this job isn't exactly difficult. Mostly involves parading around showing off some skin, but it is still fun. The first game is on Oct 14. I am really excited, although, I really should learn how to stop on skates before then... Also, the photographer was really funny. He kept calling me "Anna" because he said I looked like Anna Kendrick. I don't think I do, but it was still entertaining. He also reminded me a lot of Nick...
Can you see why?

Chasing Waterfalls

Another Wednesday hike! Today I went on an excursion with Courtney and Ashley. This hike was so much fun and the destination was beautiful. I feel like such a nature girl--although my shoes are dirty which makes me sad, because they were still new and pretty because I had only worn them at the gym--so I am guessing that disqualifies my naturey-ness.

I slipped on a rock mid hike, and my foot was soaked. I had to stop to squeeze some of the water out!

Happy Hikers =)

A Day in the Life

Here is what a Typical Day looks like. In no particular order. 

Go to the Gym
Play Tetris
Play Solitaire (Klondike and Spider)
Read Books
Turn in Job Applications to random places
Check my phone to see if anyone has texted me
See that my phone is running out of battery and plug it in, in case a place I applied miraculously decides to call.
Check my email
Check my other email
Check my other other email
Watch multiple episodes of How I Met Your Mother/Teen Mom/Jersey Shore/Toddlers in Tiaras or whatever ever else happens to be on the DVR
Do Laundry/Some sort of chore around the house
Do sudoku puzzles
Check phone again
Contemplate going on Facebook, but talk myself out of it
Read all the daily article on the Yahoo! homepage, even the ones about bacon taste tests, even though I don't even like bacon.
Take Harper outside to pee
Re-check all emails, in case someone sent me something.
Think of other jobs I could apply for
Write another resume
Look at potential grad schools
Play more Solitaire
Take a nap
Take a really long shower. In case someone wants to hang out later or just for general cleanliness
Eat an Uncrustable (DELICIOUS LITTLE NUGGETS WITH PERFECT PB & J RATIO)
go on Stumble Upon
Practice my rapping
Think of things to tell my mom when she comes home and asks me "What have you been doing all day?"
Write terrible poems that I never intend to show a living soul
Make sure the dogs are still alive/haven't peed anywhere
Go on craigslist
Play this new game I found, called Papa's Taco Mia! You have to take orders and make the customers tacos (fast!) other wise they get angry and don't leave you tips.
Attempt to go on Pottermore, but then get frustrated because it goes so slowwwwwww
Read some more
Eat cereal



Basically, I'm living the dream.

womp.

Happy Birthday Matt!

Yesterday night was Matt's Birthday. We went out to dinner at The Boiling Crab, my new favorite place. This restaurant doesn't have plates or utensils. Everything is eaten with your hands and you food comes in plastic bags. You just have to rip the bags open and dump everything out on the table. (They put new paper down on the table before each group, so it isn't gross or anything. They also only serve seafood, WITH ALL THE SHELLS/FACES still on them! Needless to say, this isn't a meal for the faint of heart. You have to really work for your food, de-shelling, cracking, and cave-manning your way through the outer layers to get the delicious, wonderful, buttery, meat underneath. I love shrimp, lobster, and king crab legs, so I was in heaven.

My mom and the birthday boy, looking good in their Boiling Crab bibs!

Happy Crabber

My proudest accomplishment was cleaning out the lobster. Even my Papa wouldn't do it!

Alyss, me, and the mess that was our table


I had a great time, and I am glad that Matt was born. I don't know who I would hang out with if he wasn't around. We are both unemployed and bored most of the time, so it is nice to have someone else to do the things that bored unemployed people do!
