A lot has happened since my last blog.. I up and quit my job at ADT and did a happy dance. That’s right that picture up there is my stuff all packed up to get outta there!!! It was the most scary/awesome thing ever to tell that crappy place where they could stick it! It was scary because I hadn’t quite locked down another job yet. Otherwise it was amazing and I was able to get a client and have started working with them doing some Social Media work. So far it’s great.. Being in Gatlinburg everyday is pretty nice. It’s pretty neat learning the area in a different way than the “tourist” way. Learning the short cuts, good places to visit/eat that aren’t the normal touristy places, etc.. It’s been great so far. I’ve did well from what I can tell with getting everything started up for them. It’s pretty exciting since they is the career path I really want to be on. Right now Cabin Rental places… Next stop Motorsports and Racecar Drivers!!

If you follow me on Twitter you probably me saw a tweet from me earlier that I had found an simply amazing CD. My car only has a CD player and all my cds in there are all pretty much 4-5 years old. They are just CD’s I have made myself and I just usually randomly pull one out when I need music and the music on the radio sucks (IE, Nickelback, Disturbed, Creed).

Today I pulled out not one but two gems! Now some of these cd’s have labels as to what sort of music the cd holds and some do not. This first piece of amazing song compiling was labeled. “Old School Guys” works for me.. If you know me, you know that I LOVE the 80s! Everything having to do with it. The Music, Hair, Clothes, obnoxious amounts of neon I LOVE it..

Playlist from said CD was as follows:

1. Don’t Come Around Here No More – Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers

2.  Cherry Pie – Warrant

3. Ice Ice Baby – Vanilla Ice

4. Heaven – Warrant

5. Jump, Jump – Kriss Kross

6. Back in Black – AC/DC

7. Poison – Bel Biv Devoe

8. I Wanna Sex You Up – Color Me Badd

9. No idea what song this is Shazzam couldn’t even find it

10. 2 Legit 2 Quit – MC Hammer

11. Can’t Touch This – MC Hammer

12. Hit Me Off – New Edition

13. Talk Dirty to Me – Poison

14. Your Mama Don’t Dance – Poison

15. Give Me Something to Believe In – Poison

16. Every Rose has it’s Thorn – Poison

17. Unskinny Bop – Poison

18. Uncle Tom’s Cabin – Warrant

19. I Need You – 3T

No CD or Playlist is complete without Ice Ice Baby. It’s held a special place in my heart since I was 7 yrs old sitting at the dinner table busting the rhymes of Sir Vanilla and giving my Mother a Semi-Heart Attack wondering where I learned this song, (I held my boombox up to the TV and recorded it on a cassette!) Not sure if it was early childhood rebellion that has made me love the song, but I’m almost positive that the mention of 5.0 is what first caught my attention.

Fox Body Mustang 5.0′s were my first car love. I still have (I need to find it at my parent’s house) a Hot Rod Mag from 1990 with a bright red fox screaming down the streets on the front. Must find the copy of that mag!

I’m going to blog I swear!!! I may even start vlogging! We will see!

Today I start the amazingly awesome Couch to 5K program! I hope that in 9 weeks I will be able to run a 5k easily! It’s on my bucket list to run a marathon and I will do it this year! It’s exactly 10 weeks until I turn 30 and it would be a fantastic present to myself to finish this program.

I’m going to be using the Couch to 5k App on my lovely new iPhone I got a couple weeks ago that tracks everything for me. I am going to be tracking my food intake via the MyFitnessPal.com website and app as well. I can see when I do bad and when I do good it has my calorie goals built into the software.

On top of doing the program I may also throw in some Zumba now and then, I purchased the DVD set a couple months ago and have done it once.. It’s great for toning so I’ll throw that in now and then to mix it up a little bit, more probably on my off days from work since it takes like an hour to do.

If you have any fitness tips or awesome recipes please share them! I’m excited to get started on everything and am determined to stick to it this time!

I will post a weight in with everything tomorrow, I forgot to weight in this morning due to having a job interview.

PLACES…

I have a small Eiffel Tower obsession.. Though I’m sure Paris has much more to offer I want to visit the Eiffel Tower and the Louve and be on my merry way..

Greece, preferably the Greek Isles.. It’s gorgeous!!!

Italy, Venice and Rome mostly there..

Toyko, or well Japan in general.. well for obvious reasons.. The food.. The cars.. The culture.. The History.. I would have to stay for at least a month to do everything hahaah!

Australia just because I couldn’t go exploring with going to the Outback.. And well our friend Leroy would KILL me if I didn’t visit.

I want to go on a cruise.. to somewhere.. not sure where.. but Caribbean would be nice Jamaica, puerto rico, cayman islands.. somewhere down in there would be good..

Then within the country.. Most of you will probably find it sad that I’ve never flown and the further west I’ve ever been is Memphis.. Furthest north I’ve been is Indiana/Ohio and I was so young I don’t even remember it.. Sad but true.. I have been to Florida once but didn’t get to go to the beach..

First I want to visit NYC and Chicago.. and compare their pizzas and visit other things too.. but mainly the pizza :D

California.. I want to go to Wine Country and down to SoCal.. Visit all the places you normally see on TV, the Walk of Fame.. Hollywood sign.. etc.. but then I want my SoCal friends to take me to the places that isn’t well known too

I want to go to Texas and have some Puffy Tacos.. and visit the infamous Mr. VooDoo having the tacos with him.. South Texas has tons of culture..

I want go to VEGAS!! that’s enough explanation!

The Keys or Hawaii, either one.. preferably the Keys..

and last but not least..

I want to attend a Pats game at Foxboro.. Go to an Indy Series, Formula 1, WRC, and X-Games event… Visit a few of the NASCAR tracks that I love, ‘Dega, Miami Homestead, Charlotte, Watkins Glen, Circuit Gilles Villeneuve, and Sonoma..

That’s it for my travels.. I’m sure there is many other places that I would love to go to but these are the top of my list. Many of these could be wrapped into a one trip. Say go to Sonoma to see a race and visit California or go to Japan and see an Formula 1/WRC/Indy Series race..

Anywhere I didn’t mention that is a must visit? Tell me I might have to add it to the list!

Almost everyone has their dream jobs that they would love to have, CEO of their own company, Astronaut,  Rock Star, Actress/Actor, etc.. Everyone’s is usually different and usually not what you expect the person to say. It’s usually something that is very far out of reach and just to kind of sit and dream about. Well at least some people just sit around and dream about them. There is people who have their dream jobs I watch them every Sunday. They are my heroes (well some of them are) and people I look up to tremendously. So you may wonder what my dream job is… Well it’s a little late in life to become a NASCAR (or any form of racing but NASCAR is #1) driver which would be number one since most people my age would have already made a vie for it. Needless to say my family didn’t have the money to help me pursue my love of racing in my younger days and that’s where most of the great drivers get their start. So since that has been tossed aside my dream of driving is satisfied by our monthly drift events where I can throw our track car around for a while. It isn’t the big boys at over 150mph but it gets me by somewhat. All Sundays are put on hold to enjoy the race having a daughter Saturdays are usually spent doing something with her instead of the Nationwide Race.

So I assume you are still wondering what my dream job is.. Well anything NASCAR related really, I love writing so that would be high on the list but I’m also great at Marketing and Networking and things like that. Usually for jobs like that you have to have a degree which I do not (yet!) and you have to know people which I don’t. So I guess I have to settle for writing my small little blog posts about how much I love NASCAR. I am going to start writing more about the races on here. I know a lot of people aren’t NASCAR fans so you’ll just have to deal with it because I love it and that’s not going to change anytime soon. I’ve been watching NASCAR for 20 years I really doubt it’s going anywhere.

I received an email from a lady wanting me to post an article on FemaleRacingNews about a new Scholarship Program that UTI and the NASCAR Technical Institute was putting together. It was for women interested in attending the school for auto tech training. It was for a lady by the name of Brienne Davis who was a graduate of the school and a NASCAR offical who died earlier this year. She was only a year older than me, it’s sad that someone who was more than likely had her dream job. The article about the Scholarship should be up on FRN tomorrow please check back on it for more information.

Do you have your dream job? What is your dream job?

I started all my websites (besides ProjectGirlDrifter) with the intent to make money online. Sadly I’m not doing that as of yet but I’ve not given up at all. I read numerous blogs about how to make money online on a daily basis. My sites are in the internet world considered new. I probably won’t be able to make a decent living from them for at least another year or so. In the meantime I am still trying out new companies for the ads on my sites. I recently joined MarketLeverage after reading posts on ZacJohnson and JohnChow‘s sites. Both were offering a contest having to do with the company so I figured I’d check it out. I’d heard about MarketLeverage before on a couple other blogs and figured that I’d go ahead and give it a try, what could I lose right.

I signed up on MarketLeverage last week and this is the first time I’ve had time to go look at their site. They have a large selection of ads for use on your sites, pretty much something for everyone. It’s going to take some time to see which ones to put on my sites since there is so many to choose from. I’m going to work on putting these new ads up on my sites within the next few days. My FemaleRacingNews site’s new layout is almost completed so along with a new look it will almost have a few new ads. What better way to give a site a makeover right?

If you’ve never visited Zac or John‘s sites make sure to stop by and check them out. They both always have great posts on how you can make money online or die trying..
