all i want for my summer is to experience new things and have fun. so far, i've experienced some new things, but i've had ALOT of fun. going to the bay area for a night with SR and RQ was an absolute blast, and a new experience for me. the trip to Boise with the football team was definitely an experience and had moments of greatness.
at the end of july, i have cheer camp with my jv cheerleaders. that's nothing new, but it will be loads of fun anyway. the week after that, i have cheer camp with the varsity cheerleaders...that will be a new experience, as we're taking them to camp in LA this year. but in between time, i feel bored. work and practice during the week and lounging about on the weekends...i've got a whole month with no adventures :[
BUT with the 2 cheer camps back to back, and then JF's baby shower towards the end of august, i'll be busy soon enough. speaking of JF...i can't wait for her to make me an auntie! I can't wait to meet my nephew GF <3
have a happy monday, readers, and a great week ahead of you! <3

Theme Song
I want to have my own reality TV show. DD and I were talking in the car just the other day and we named off all the reasons why our lives would make for great reality tv: 1. relationship "drama" including public fights, accusatory phone calls, romantic dinners, sweet gestures...she and I are both in relatable dating situations. 2. friend "drama" including but gossip, back stabbing, marriages, pregnancies, crazy nights out...we have friendships just like every other girl and we've had our ups and downs just like every friendship. 3. family "drama" including divorce, arguments, fun get togethers, emotional talks...our families are just as dysfunctional as the rest of the world's! 4. financial worries including paying bills on time, finding steady work, hating a job, dreaming of a future career...and lastly 5. we are not "model types"...we don't have perfect bone structure or ideal body types, we hate parts about ourselves just like every single girl.
I feel that putting two individuals (best friends, even) on television who are SO relatable to the demographic of reality tv could do better to boost morale. I mean, it would be great fun to be on TV and get our adventures documented...but I feel like I could help people. I can show girls who struggle with weight problems that you can still feel and be beautiful. I want to reach out to people.
And I've already narrowed down my theme song...California Gurls by Katy Perry ft. Snoop Dogg -or- Bulletproof by LaRoux. Thoughts? Other ideas? What would YOUR reality show theme song be, if it was just you, your life and the cameras?
Idaho was fun. It was hard work, late nights, early morning, good (and bad) times out with the football coaches...but overall I really enjoyed myself. I was already asked to come back next year, and I think I will. The drive was a bit boring most of the time...but the scenery through Idaho was phenomenal and the morning sky in Oregon was gorgeous. I enjoyed bonding time with the football managers, wonderful girls!
I miss BS. He was my BEST friend. I miss laughing with him, because everyone knows we laughed ALOT. I miss talking about troubles or worries with him. He always knew just what to say to cheer me up. I hate that my friend was taken from me. Take the boyfriend, fine, we were in different stages of our lives anyway, but leave me my friend. :( I hope he's doing well.
I'm anxious for cheer camp. Mini vacations with my favorite people in the world...they can't come sooner. Now if only we can get these girls to cooperate! It was a great first 2 weeks and at the start of the 3rd, frustration begins. The girls need to overcome their egos and remember what it was like to be embarassed...they've forgotten that and they seriously lack drive. I hope they pick it back up, soon.
Meanwhile, have a great week!

Way-ta go, Idaho!
(did anyone catch my Toy Story reference? no? ok...)
SO...I coach high school cheerleading, duh. Our football teams have female managers who run stats and such for the guys. Football camp this year is taking place at Boise State. The female managers needed a female chaperone and the football coaches asked if I was available. I requested the vacation time and it got approved. This Saturday, I leave at like 5 or 6 am on a charter bus for Boise, Idaho with the COHS football teams and coaches.
I'm pretty excited about the whole thing. I've been saying how I want to go on adventures this summer, and I made a vow to myself to accept any offers that come my way (including, but not limited to: clubbing, parties, dinners, trips, etc) in order to get out more, meet new people and just have fun!
I've never been to Idaho, so it's another state I can add to my list of states visited. [I have a personal goal to visit all of them] I get to hang out with an awesome group; our football coaches are great guys! I love that I get to help them out in their time of need. It's a mini-vacation, away from everything, and a chance to experience something new. I'm definitely looking forward to it! :)
Cheer practice started this week. The first day was conditioning, from start to finish, for 3 hours. The girls hated us, but last year's lack of stamina was atrocious. This year, with our plans to compete, they WILL be able to perform a dance with stunts and tumbling without gasping for air after. Today is day 2, I wonder how many of them are sore?
Only a day and a half left of work. Then packing. Then I leave for the Smurf Turf (Boise State's football field turf is smurf-blue). Don't miss me too much!
Happy Wednesday, and have a great week! :)

This isn't our first rodeo...
...but it's definitely our last.
I've always loved that expression, "This isn't my first rodeo", referring to someone knowing what to do when questioned. It's comical to me that during one of the most difficult times of my life, that quote fits right in...with a personally added ending.
The relationship BS and I shared is no more. This isn't the first time we've been down this path, but unfortunately it seems like the last. We are on far too different levels of emotional commitment and we just couldn't make it work any longer. Had I submitted this post any earlier than today, it would have either been sorrow-filled or anger-driven. I don't want that this time around. I don't want to be sad over this, we shared SO many wonderful memories. I don't want to be angry over it, it's just not worth that kind of energy. And while it's my blog, about my life and my thoughts on things, I'm trying my very hardest to be diplomatic about the whole situation.
He was a great boyfriend. I was a great girlfriend. We were not what the other expected/needed emotionally in a relationship right now. We are on two separate planes regarding a significant other...eventually that takes a toll on both parties. I love him still, he will always have a part of my heart, but it's best that we each go our separate ways. I wish him all the luck in the world for his band's endeavors, I hope that he continues with school and gets his degree as he's worked so hard thus far, I want every happiness in the world for him.
As for me...it's about time I get my "selfish" phase started. In my 23 years, I have YET to be about me (and only me). I wouldn't trade any of my prior years in for anything...I've met the most AMAZING people, made some fantastic friends, and learned alot about myself along the way. But now, it's time for some "me" time and I'm SO excited! What that entails, I can't quite be sure, but I plan on doing some traveling and paying off debt, getting into cosmetology school and moving out of this city...the possibilities are endless and I can't wait to get started!
For now, I'll continue to work and coach, and I'm spending as much time with my close friends and family as I can. I am so grateful to have such loyal people in my life! I'm glad that summer is here because with 2 of my best friends back in town, I expect to have some fun filled summer weekends ahead of me!
Cheer practices for the 2010-2011 season start next week...thank goodness! I've been ansy, waiting for this season to get started.
My life has definitely had it's fair share of curve balls thrown at it...and as a perpetual planner, I've definitely taken them hard. But I've always been better and stronger because of it and this time is no different. Have a happy Wednesday, readers!
