Carla's Online Web Journal
Hello all!
It's been a bit since I have blogged...sorry guys! I have been under extreme stress at my 9 to 5 and just have had a hard time getting my act together during the week...then I was in Miami since last Thursday for Nationals plus a couple days of R&R!
So Nationals in Miami is the absolute bomb!! The host hotel was in Miami Beach instead of South Beach so that was a bit in convenient. The beach out there is great but there is nothing around the hotels. It is about 3 miles from Sobe and the venue. If the hotel was closer it would have been alot easier to visit Sobe, shop and hang out. That aside though, being in Miami is just off the chain. I was able to do a lot of socializing along with the hard work. Tim and crew were there...he had 4 people in the show. Debi Lesewski won her card so Tampa Tim has another pro card under his belt. She was beautiful and was in a very competitive battle with veteran, Elena Sieple and Kristy Hawkins. I think overall the women were way more competitive than the men. Every class of females was just off the chain. jaimie Troxel won the lightweights, Lisa Bickles the middles, Debi and then Lora Ottenand won the heavies and overall. These women were just perfect and pretty! I was really jazzed. Local competitor and show promoter, Maggie Blanchard is rising up the aldder and took a third placre in figure short. The big controversy was the men's light heavy weight winer, Stan McCray. People felt that big, thick Charles Dixon should have taken the class. Although I love Stan...Charles was definately large and in charge! Desomnd Miller won the supers and overall and Lionel Brown tookt he heavies.
I got to spend time with Stacy at the Protan offices. It looks like a cool place to work. I think he would hire me if I would move south! He is awesome. He was in and out all weekend and we were able to get soem work done and planning done for 2007. He has to confirm the shows we are doing!
We all went out to the MD party as Dave Palumbo's guests...the limo was packed! It was great hanging out with Colette, Mimi and Amanda among the others! Kris Murrell was there and having a blast...she is a sweetheart...always bringing us treats! She is packed withpotential and once she gets her conditioning down..look out! The BSN party was at another place and I never got there. I had also had the opportunity to hang out with Big Bill and the Vyotech presidents onThursday night...they go first class...it was awesome just going along for the ride (int he limo!!!). Sunday night we hung out with the expediters, Vinny and Dr. Mike, Kris and Nicki and Dave. It was low key but nice!
I had 2 great shoots over the weekend; one with Barry Brooks and the other with Dan Ray! I hope the pics come out good? Off season shots are always iffy?
The best part of the weekend was just hanging in South Beach for a couple days...I moved in Sobe to theAlbion...awesome little spot and convenient to everything. I splurged on my first pair of $129 jeans!! I must be crazy! I just hung out, laid in the sun, trained, did cardio on Ociean Dr., shopped, had great sushi and even splurged on Gelato and low fat/carb soft serve! Not to mention all the MOJITOS!!!! Actually I think that was the worst cheat...the drinks!!!
I love Miami....I was walkign around just thinking what it would be like to ive there....in a littel studio right in Sobe? Getting up everyday toi warm weather and sun...what would my day be like????? Would I be lonely? Would I be able to financially survive? Would I love it as much if I was there all the time? I feel like, for me, it is the best of everything...it's a city but a beach too with shopping and everything you need within walking distance...a place where you would be fit all the time just form walking everywhere.
Where will life lead...huh? So back to reality...grey days...not cold though...it's weird how it's warm and humid in November???? I laid down in my bed last night and it felt soo good. i love my bed...it's safe, comfy and mine!!!!
OK all...I am rambling...Mimi and Amanda told me how they were reading my blog for a while...Gosh if they start reading this stuff they will think I have lost my mind, huh???
Anyway...off to work!
