Needless to say...

I have been so busy, and so tired lately. Work is going well, so far anyways! For those of you who don't know what exactly I do, I will go ahead and explain that now in elementary terms.

I work for a credit card processing company as a Risk Investigator. I deal with merchants on a daily basis. Their accounts get flagged in our system for unusual transactions, and well... we hold their funds. My supervisor then assigns me a case (a business), and I will basically investigate this business and find out everything I can about them. Are they fraud? Are they doing cash advances? What exactly are they doing? I request certain documents for certain situations, and so on so forth. I have learned so much new stuff about the market I am in, and it just amazes me how merchants act. I've only had a handful of merchants "yell" at me, but that comes with this job. I am holding merchant's funds.. At the end of the day, merchants understand our side and why we have to audit them. 

Anyways, enough of work.

It is my birthday weekend!!!
I am soooo excited. My birthday isn't technically until Monday, but this weekend is just perfect to celebrate!
Me and a bunch of friends are going to a lounge/club/bar called Cosmolava. It is beautiful on the inside. Just look for yourself! I will be taking lots of photos, and will definitely post a few in a future post.

Other exciting news..
I am going to a concert and it is only my favorite DJ ever,
TIESTO!
The concert is on April 14th and me and two good friends of mine will be raving and it is going to be epic. I can't contain my excitement. *Insert sexiness here*



Ahhhh! Loveeeee <3

So that's whats been going on in my life, and what will be going on. I promise, promise to update this more often! :) I had time at work today, so maybe I can post when I have some downtime at work..


Until next time,

Jobs and Working Out

Hey everyone!

Sorry I have not been updating this at all.. I have been sooo busy with work and finding jobs (which I have found a few I am applying to, yay!)

Just a quick update on my life. I have been soo soo happy lately. It feels so good to be home and with people who love me. I have been catching up with old friends and new friends. I love my Cans/Erwoods family (I work at Cans, Erwoods is right next door). Everyone is amazing and I couldn't ask for better people. I just got a second job working at Adele's. It is an Authentic Cajun restaurant, yumm! If you didn't know, I am Cajun, so this restaurant is right up my alley. Ruth and Marc are the owners and they are so sweet! :)

Anyways enough of work, let's talk about what I want to get into.

Working out.

Yes. Working out.

I have been slacking on the working out lately, main reason is my right knee has been giving me problems since senior year of high school. I have a calcified tendon growing off of another bone and when I run/walk, that tendon rubs against the skin on the inside and starts filling my knee up with fluid. Gross, I know. I will need surgery eventually, but I don't want to slack anymore on the working out and getting in shape (especially for the Police Academy).

So behold, the Tone It Up girls, Karena and Katrina.

These girls are beautiful inside and out and I can't wait to start their program. I have been watching their youtube videos for over a year now, and I have finally got the motivation to start doing some of their workouts. My ultimate goal would be to do a 5K or even a 10K (maybe after knee surgery). 

They posted a program to help train for a 5K, and I think I will start on Monday. :)



Hopefully this chart will keep me motivated! And I get to rest and relax Fridays and Sundays! :) Perfect!

I also want to try the Shredmill workout!
