Random Work Pics

We don't really take many pictures with our dolphins at work, but occasionally someone will have their phone or camera around. Here's a picture of me with one of the girls, Phebe!

And here I am with one of the senior trainers Rachel and one of our boys, Makana!

Searching for a Hobby

So lately I've been feeling "un-well-rounded." What I mean by that is that sometimes I feel like I should be doing something else in my free time besides just watching TV all the time. I've felt like I needed a hobby, and (don't judge me when I say this) I even stooped so low as to google "Hobbies" and look at a list of 200+ possible hobbies. hahahaha Even though I've never been artistic, a few days ago I just woke up and felt like painting a picture, which sounds silly. I told my friends from work, and they were like, ummm maybe try something easier. haha But this morning after going to the gym I decided to go to Michaels and just figured, what the heck, let's give it a shot! So I bought a bunch of paint, a few small canvases and some brushes, settled down in front of Law and Order: SVU, and tried to paint! Here are my 3 small paintings!



I know they are no major works of art or anything, but I'm pretty proud of them considering it was my first time painting!

I'm also going to try to exercise more, not to get skinny, but just to be more physically fit! Since the LA Fitness is literally 2 blocks away from my apartment, its hard to make excuses not to go. So besides the occasional yoga class, I've also started going to this class called Body Works plus Abs, which is kind of like an aerobics class with weights. Its actually kind of fun even though its mostly middle aged ladies. haha

If anyone has suggestions for fun things to do in my free time, I'm all ears! :)

Trainer of the Month!

Somehow I was selected as the Trainer of the Month for December! Thanks to last month's TOTM for nominating me and to the management for selecting me!


Check it, I got my name on a plaque and everything!!!

In other news, I am learning new show parts now that I am a full-time employee! I'm learning the ending dive, which is a scary high dive off the high bridge (ahhh), the finale swim and more sea creature parts! I am debuting as Evil Sea Creature B tomorrow, so hopefully I won't mess up!
