Some Exciting News!!!
I have some big news :) I auditioned for a hosting position of a new PBS show last wednesday and I received a phone call stating that the job is mine :)
The show is titled Muscle Car Workout Show and I will be the host! My co-host, Alan, has been in the car industry since he was 8 years old; therefore, he is the "Car Guy". He and I will be given a script, but the show is intended to be lightly script with Alan and I conversing and working on the car. We are supposed to be as natural as possible; therefore you will never see either of us looking directly into the camera. By the end of the season it will be topics we are discussing rather than a memorized script.
Season 1 will be seen on WCEU which is a PBS station here in Central Florida. The eventual goal is for the show to go to National Distribution on PBS. I have not signed the contract yet, but I go in tomorrow to do that. I will be signing on for 13 (30 minute) episodes and they are starting to look into season 2 topics!
I extremely excited about this new opportunity and I feel the same about competing in the Miss Florida USA Pageant next month!!

Our Day at the Beach, June 6, 2008
When we were finally up, we put some breakfast (or I guess lunch) in our tummies and headed over to the fitness center. We worked out for about 40 minutes doing various cardio activites. My fitness trainer, Arnold, has me doing all sorts of things like walking backwards and doing lunges on the treadmill. After cardio we threw on our swimsuits and headed to beautiful Keating Beach.
It was gorgeous outside. There were not a lot of people, the water was blue, and the sun was out. The weather was just perfect with a constant cool, breeze coming from the ocean. We stayed at the beach for a bit and then decided to go to the mall to shop and to Season's 52 for dinner :)
We pulled up to Season's 52 at 7:50pm to put in our dinner reservations. The next hour was spent shopping, which we all made at least one purchase. By 9:20, we were at a candle lit table enjoying edamame and flat bread. The neat thing about Season's is that there menu is seasonal so it changes and everything is under 475 calories! All the food was delicious and we had plenty left over to box up.
We were home by 11pm. It was a perfect ending to a perfect day :)
Day 2......CHECK
Pre-taping Day 1, June 5, 2008
We arrived in our room at the hotel at 1am and were a sleep by 2am. Just enough time to be up by 5AM!!!!!!
By 6:30, we were at Tel-Air Productions trying on our opening number dress. Thursday pre-taping day is a great day to attend because there is not an overwhelming about of contestants (there were 11). Meeting the 11 girls before Saturday's seminar made it that much easier for me to meet all the other girls on Saturday.
Once everyone had their dresses on we left and headed over to the Westone Diplomat Resort and Spa. Anastasia (one of the contestants) rode with us. We spent all morning outside the Weston Diplomat Resort and Spa on their beach filming our introductions and interviews. The beach was beautiful and the host hotel is amazing. It was a perfect day to be outside.
Once we were finished, we went inside and taped the prize package, packed up, dropped off Anastasia (who happens to be a sweetheart), and headed back home. Although we had a full 6 hour day it was only 12:30! So we stoped by Friday's for lunch, layed out poolside at our hotel, went grocery shopping at Publix, and finally fell asleep at 11pm watching TV! Day 1 was complete :)

All around Orange County school classes are celebrating the end of the year. Lucky for me I had the chance to celebrate with one of those classes. On Thurs, I stepped foot on the brand new school Sunset Park Elementary in Windermere. Once inside I went straight upstairs to Ms. King's 3d grade class. They were all expecting a 'Queen' to walk through their door and sure enough one did...ME :)
I had all 18 of them listening as I told them about myself, my title, and Love Letters: Random Cards of Kindness. The kids were very excited to make cards and they made some great "Dino-riffic" and "Picnic" cards for 40 children with life-threatening diseases. When we finished, I answered questions and signed autograph cards as well as special t-shirts Ms. King had made for each of her students. It was a short visit, 45 minutes, but the kids appreciate me visiting and felt special that I "choose" them to make Love Letters :)

Today I met up with my sister Queens and our Director Kim Antos for a day of Pageant Training. We discussed orientation, Miss Florida Week, and what we have done so far to prepare. At the end of our session, we were surprised to find out that Daytona Beach College wanted us to film promos for the Daytona Cubs Baseball Team! Well, being that this was completely unexpected, we were not exactly looking camera ready :)Lucky for us, the staff was flexible and gave us just enough time to quickly do our hair and make-up. Once ready, we were given a Cubs uniform, a few lines, and Lights Camera Action: we filmed the promo :) It was a lot of fun and we have some great pics captured on our home page of http://www.missdaytonausa.com/
If you have the opportunity, tune into Channel WCEU during the Daytona Cubs baseball games and you may catch one of us in action!
Updates to my Blog
Here are a couple of events that have gone by that I wanted to mention in my blog :)
Every year, the University of Central Florida has a Faculty and Staff Holiday Party. This year I was asked to perform a dance routine along side the current Mr and Miss UCF. It was a great opportunity to meet the people who make UCF the incredible University it has become. I was honored to be invited to such an event.
Pictured above is Alex Lord, Mr UCF 2008, Veronica Livesay Executive Director of the Miss UCF Scholarship Pageant, and Me :) Second picture (below) is myself with Former and current Mr And Miss UCF titleholders and Maribeth Ehasz, UCF’s vice president for student development and enrollment services
For the second consecutive year, I was asked to assist Veronica Livesay in a presentation on HOW TO WORK A ROOM:NETWORKING IN SOCIAL SITUATIONS Seminar during Leadership Week at the University of Central Florida. It is really a treat to have students attend a workshop like this. The students are their to learn the basics of business and social etiquette. Veronica and I had notes prepared with helpful tips as well as live exercise to reinforce meeting, mingling, and making small talk with strangers. The purpose was to enhance and enforce leadership skills and learn to be more relaxed, comfortable, and self-confident in interviews and social situations.

Today Emily and I headed to Ormond Beach to participate in a fashion show for Operation Caring Through Sharing. We greeted guests at the door, helped out at rehearsals, assisted with the silent auction and helped the models and performers backstage! Operation Caring Through Sharing is a non-profit organization based in Jacksonville Florida. Their mission is to stop hunger in Florida. The organization started with one woman cooking meals for local families out of her kitchen, today the organization (in its 4th year) provides more than 5,625 meals per month!!! A very special thank you to Brenda and Casie for letting us be part of such an amazing organization.

Vivaaaaaaaaaa Las Vegas!!!!!!! This was my first ever trip to see Miss USA Live at the Planet Hollywood Hotel and Casino. The whole day was an eye opening expierence. Friday Morning, Emily and I attended the Miss USA dress rehearsal. Although my ticket said dress rehearsal, it was more of a mock Miss USA Pageant. The contestants, crew and staff spent 2 hours doing the show as if it was the real thing. A mock 15 was announced. I was hoping to watch Jess, but she was not called. Fortunately Jess was a part of the real Top 15 that night! Jess looked great as she went from Top 15 to Top 10! We were and still are very proud of her success!
