Hey gang,

I know, I know, I haven't written in a long time... again.  This time I have a good excuse.  I've been in Orlando for a FOX promotions meeting!  Isn't it sad that I have to go to Universal Studios for work?  I have such a horrible job ;). 

While in Orlando, I met so many great Promotion Directors from around the country.  I'm so excited to learn from some of the very best in the business because I think I was the youngest person there.  I also finally met my FOX Affiliate Marketing Representative from L.A., Betty.  It's so wierd when you talk to someone over the phone for so long and you finally see them in person. 

I hung out with some of the other FOX Affiliate Marketing Reps from L.A., and they are all so fun!  I have pictures, so make sure you check those out in my photo album.

Now, don't feel sorry for me yet for having to work like a dog... I also had a few great hours relaxing at the pool.  We stayed at the Royal Pacific Resort, and it was beautiful! 

When I returned from Orlando, my friends and I went down to Huzzah Valley in Steelville Missouri for some camping and canoeing.  I, of course, dominated at the following things:

• canoeing (okay we took a raft, but I didn't even tip)
• jumping off cliffs
• making sure everyone had sunblock! 
• and making the best smores known to man (thanks to my dad for teaching me long ago!)

Needless to say, I was exhausted by the time I returned home on Sunday.  It was Eliott's birthday, and all he wanted was for me to cook chicken fajitas.  He spent the weekend with his family, so I was supposed to have dinner ready for him when he returned.... Well, all of you who know me, know that I'm a horrible cook.  I promptly went to my favorite mexican restaurant and ordered take out.  Then I dumped it in the skillet just in time for him to walk in the door.  I succeeded in tricking him.  For about 30 minutes he thought I had learned to cook, then I dropped the bomb.  He wasn't too upset though because Xochimilco makes the best chicken fajitas in town. 

After my crazy week and weekend, I've been sleeping like a baby...  I'll see you guys next week when I tell you about my adventures shopping for pageant dresses and swimsuits... this could get interesting.
