Weekend Update: ACS Relay For Life & The Fair

I don’t really have a fun/witty intro to this weekend update so let’s just get started…

Friday: Stayed home, cleaned, and chilled. Caught up on my DVR-ed shows…

SYTYCD- My favorite is Mackenzie. Saw her rock it in the background during auditions but I was nervous she wasn’t gonna make it because they didn’t feature her at all through the Vegas audition show interviews! Glad everyone loved her! [And now I love this girl even more…just went to find a picture of her to post on here and her SYTYCD bio says she’s from Temecula, CA which is like 20 minutes North of where I’m from!] I’m not a fan of Cyrus’ ex-girlfriend Jasmine. Cyrus was a fan favorite from last year and she is totally trying to ruin his cred by saying things changed once he got on the show and that he left her. She's a good dancer, but not liking her personality. It seems like she’s riding on his coat tails. Love love LOVE the tappers, animators, and ballroom dancers!  

Ellen- She’s been on a re-run kick which I will assume is because she’s vacationing/filming new episodes. I was 3 episodes behind so It served as background noise while I cleaned.

Pretty Little Liars- AHHH! I don’t even know what to think of this show! Is Ali alive or dead? Who is A? Who is red coat? Who was the lady in black at Wilden's funeral? Why are Ashley’s shoes muddy?! Was Spencer’s letter from UPenn legit? Yay for Ryan from Step Up Revolution getting on the show!

 

Saturday: Worked with my mom during the day. Ran home and showered then took off to Nate’s Butt Farm for the Relay For Life. Hung out, ate food, danced, napped, tried to read, luminaria, walked my 12-1 am shift, slept for 3 hrs, ate breakfast, closing ceremonies. The growth of our even is incredible. I walked the 1^st year they had it up here back in 2011 and we had like 5 teams and “only” raised a few thousand dollars. 2013 we had 20 teams and like 200 registered participants. Valley Center is a small town but we managed to raise $72,000+ for this event…so incredible! Something else that was incredible were 2 men that walked together for all 24 hours with minimal food and restroom breaks. They each walked like 53 miles! Hopefully I’ll be able to attempt something similar next year!

Luminaria

It was cold and dark during my shift! 

Sunday: Relay ended at about 9 am, got home around 10 and took a quick nap before heading to the beach and then a night at our local county fair. So much fried food. We had the bacon wrapped pickle (yum!), krispy kreme chicken sandwich (yum!), fried oreos (yum!), fried cookie dough (too sweet), waffle dog (meh), fried avocado (bland. needed a dipping sauce.), and cinnamon rolls (always yum!). My body was heart attack central so I tried to minimize my impeding death by washing down the fatty goodness with water instead of soda. I think it worked…only gained 1 lb and no heart burn! I won myself a couple prizes…a cute little giraffe and a gorilla that looked stoned. Hahaha. Did the guess the speed of your throw thing kind of just to see how fast I threw…52 mph, which isn’t bad since I haven’t played ball or thrown since mid December! [Sorry for the lack of fair pics!]

I came home, played on my phone a little and then went to bed!        

Weekend Update: Cornstalks I Tell Ya!

Weeeeeeeeeeekend update :] It was a good one!

Let's start with Thursday. I'm in a theater for wannabe teachers this semester and we spent a majority of the time working on a play that we were supposed to perform for an elementary school. We had to write the play/scripts, master the craft of acting, develop and construct out set, and put on a show for the kiddies. Thursday was performance day. It went really well, I'm pretty sure everyone loved it! It took place at Story Farm, Farmer Jessie was the narrator, Petunia & Penelope pig were BFF's with Sally the sheep and even though Shaggy wanted to play with them super bad, he couldn't get them to notice him. Throw in some costume changes, our interpretation of 1 Dalmatian's performance at the Farmer's Choice Awards, the moral of our story which is "Be Yourself" and viola! you have the best play of our class. At least in my opinion. Keep your eyes peeled for Shaggy the Shy Wolf at a jungle gym near you!

Friday was my friend Caroline's birthday so I went over to her place and had dinner with her and her family. The plan was to go out to downtown SD for a night of dancing and drinking. Unfortunately, my back decided it'd be a fun weekend to hurt. No idea what happened but the muscles are like super tight. This kind of killed my plans to go out because of how much it hurt. I waved goodbye as I headed home and they headed to the club.

Saturday was Caroline's pool party/BBQ so I headed back to her place to hang out. It was a pretty beautiful day but the water was cold :[ butttt that didn't keep me out. Spent most of the time playing with her super adorable 3 year old nephew but I did manage to mingle with the grown-ups. We played some drinking games and corn hole and it eventually turned into a jacuzzi night with all of us haning out. I stayed until 11-ish because it was time to head home and get some sleeeeeep.

[Cool & The Gang with a few missing]

Sunday a group of us headed out to Del Mar for the Brizal Bazaar at the Fairgrounds. One of the CLAMS, Keri, is engaged, so we hit up the madness to do some scouting. Holy moly talk about craziness. There were so many people there, and so many vendors! It was more of picking up fliers and seeing cool stuff rather than actually talking to vendors about details and pricing. After a few hours of that, we all went out to La Jolla for some lunch. Good food, good drinks, and good times had by all :]

Then we all parted ways, but Caroline, Chelsea, and I stayed in the area because we scheduled massages for Lime's birthday at Spa Gregories in Del Mar. Thanks for the hook up Groupon! Oh, btw...my masseusse's name was DRAGON. That was pretty awesome. Hahaha. The massage definitely relieved a majority of the tension that was in my back that carried over from the other day! They've gained a customer in me!

Back to reality. Whomp. 

How was your weekend?  

30 DAY CHALLENGE: DAY 22

HAPPY THANKSGIVING! I am thankful for so many things this year, including my amazing family who has gone through so much this year, hilarious friends, great job, a roof over my head in one of the most beautiful cities in the world, food to eat, my education, and an able body. I hope everyone has a great holiday!

Day 22 – A photo of your wedding/future wedding plans.

First of all, I want a vintage looking engagement. Friends, please show my future husband this photo.

And this is pretty much the wedding dress my heart is set on. So simple but beautiful. 

I want to have a country-ish wedding and OBVIOUSLY incorporate some baseball. 

I am so in love with these save the date tickets!

and these super cute wedding cake toppers

and this home plate guest book idea!

I've already come to terms that I will be a bridezilla since I'm usually a -zilla with everything else that I plan. I'm sorry for all of you that will be involved with the planning that will have to deal with me.

I think most of all, I just want it to be fun. 

One thing that absolutely MUST happen is the "Payaso del Rodeo". It's a Mexican line dance, and absolutely my favorite thing to do at parties :]
