freelancin' all over town.

so after all this time. i'm finally a hired writer AND makeup artist. this all went down in the same week. maybe next i'll meet my husband?

i've recently been added to the company payroll for Benefit Cosmetics. one of my very fave lines. roses, browns, skin highlighters, contouring, eyebrows, cream eyeshadows. i'm in heaven. my first day is sunday. i'll be traveling to all the different Benefit counters in central ohio, mainly weekends, and also doing special events like weddings and makeup lessons.


next up: my first journalism gig! newly on board to write for (614) magazine!! tonight was my first editorial meeting. it was more like a "hey let's drink bud heavy and talk about funny and cool shit" meeting than an editorial meeting. anyways. my first assignment? drag queens in the capital city. good thing i've recently come into a friendship with all kinda gays. love them.

ALSO: your girl is running her first 5k saturday. this might be minor to some of you fitness buffs, but i am a horrible runner, and it's been a huge challenge to make it this far. it's an internal struggle every day, and so far, i'm kicking the shit out of myself. i get better every day.

working out.. losing weight... it's all still happening. saw the lowest number on the scale the other day in two years. just keep swimming, just keep swimming.

oh my goodness all this excitement is making me sleepy. or maybe that was the beer? whatever. this weekend i have the 5k, my first day at Easton with Benefit, and the My Morning Jacket concert. then next weekend, my best friend's wedding. going to be amazing. by the time i get done losing weight for all my friends' weddings, i'll be in shape for my own. if i believed in marriage. but that's a whole nother post.
