TWILIGHT AT MIDNIGHT

Twilight came out Friday and I went to the midnight show. I knew I wouldn't have to arrive early knowing that it isn't as big down here in the Desert and there wouldn't be any lines. But the crowd was great. It was obvious that there were alot of guys in the crowd that hadn't read the book. There was alot of cheering and alot of laughter at the funny expressions by Edward and Jasper. I liked the cast with the exception of "Mike" he was not cute at all and I wonder why he was cast. But it was entertaining and I think that everyone who has read the book needs to go see it. I think that people who have'nt gotten into the series will think it is a little goofy.
Edward is so freaking hot I had to refrain from expressing that out loud. Knowing that the person next to me proably wouldn't appreciate that. I thought Kristen Stewart did Bella perfect. She looked great and as I was swooning over Edward the boys next to me were going gaga for Bella. I will definetly buy the DVD and would be excited to know if they were going to contuinue making more movies in the series.

BUSY CHICK

I have been a super busy girl. I have been working a ton and the other day actually worked at all three of my jobs in one day. I have been doing training at Toscana in the mornings and then head off to the Westin for massages. I have been trying to study for a test that management is making us take at the Westin. It is a quiz on hotel knowledge and knowing the hotels mantra's and mission statements although they have like 5 different statements they want me to memorize along with other stuff they want me to know. If anyone knows me they know that I hate tests and will do anything to get out of taking them. But I have been told that I have to take this one and get 80%--wish me luck.
Another thing that is going to keep me busy is figuring out my new phone that I got. It's a Palm Centro and it's like a mini computer. There is going to be alot of trial and error to figure this one out. So far I have had to call the Palm hotline to figure out how to get the phone to ring. This is not a good sign!!!!!

VOTE!!!!!

This upcoming Tuesday is going to be life changing for everyone. I know that I am planning on voting and still don't know what canidate is the better one to choose but I know that my vote counts and that I need to make a decision one way or the other. It reminds me of being back in Jr. High when students ran for student counsel and made promises that they would make lunch breaks longer and that they would serve better food at the cafeteria knowing that there was no way that they could make thoes changes. I think that the race to the white house is the same. Once whoever gets there will realize that they can't make the changes they promised and just try to make the best of a bad situation. I know that I learned this lesson when I became a manager at a spa and realized what my past bosses had gone through. And that it is harder than you think to manage and make big desisions that will work once put into the position. But I do know that we need a change for the nation and I'm glad that the Bush administration is almost over. So get out there and VOTE!!!!

NEW JOB

I got a new job at Toscana Country Club. I'm really excited about the position. I will be a therapist in a brand new spa in Indian Wells. The property is a few years old and has been waiting for the clubhouse to open. It is beautiful and one of the nicest I have seen. It is smaller but has couple's treatments rooms and outdoor showers and private baths. I will still keep my current jobs but go to on-call status at the Westin Hotel covering shifts when available. I feel honored to have been offered a position at this new spa seeing that they only hired around ten therapists and have never been apart of a new team opening a brand new spa.
I am excited for the upcoming "Season" this year and hope that the economy doesn't hurt my income too much. I feel I made a good decision changing jobs after finding out that the hotel industry is expecting low numbers and huge losses this upcoming year. My manager at the Westin was told that 2009 was going to be worse than 911 for the Hotel industry. So by working at the country clubs I am hopeing that it will be busier--knowing that the clients there aren't hurting like the rest of us.
Living out here in the desert we work alot when the "Season" hits which is when the snowbirds come to town. They start arriving when the golf courses open back up at the first of November and then stay till May enjoying the beautiful weather and top golf courses. So when you are shoveling snow and scraping off windows this winter think of me enjoying weather in the high 80's and driving around with the windows down. Ahhh the life of California!!!!!!
