Can't Sleep Soooo

A little while ago my sister came up with this brilliant idea to

blog about all the jobs she's had. If you know me and my sister you would know we have had some pretty interesting jobs. I don't know why or how but I think it has to do with the fact that we get bored very easily. So it is now 1:45 a.m. and all I could think

about while laying in my bed is all the ridiculous jobs I've had throughout my life....so

here it goes

1- BACKUP DANCER FOR RADIO DISNEY'S AARON KARR

Yes that's right radio disney. And no this is not Aaron Carter it's Aaron Karr...but we did get to meet Aaron Carter at one of our performances. This actually w

as my first paying "gig" and they actually flew us out somewhere on the east coast and we were hauled around in a hummer and did a performance in the rain for about 4 people....it was awesome!! And he actually was a super good singer/performer.

2- DANCE INSTRUCTOR (always and forever)

I wish I really wore outfits like that to dance...I think I started assistant teaching dance when I was 8 yrs old at my Moms studio....I will always love dance and I will forever miss the years of Applause Dance Center....

3- TELEPHONE SALES FOR I-SATELLITE

When I was going to my first semester of college I did what almost every college student did for a job...call center. I got my friend Becca a job with me so it wouldn't be so bad...but it was. I think I worked for i-satellite for maybe 2 months before I quit.

4-PAINTED PORCHES

This had to have been one of the most random jobs I've ever had. When I first moved to Hawaii this old man named Rodney would always come and fix stuff on our rotting house. Well since I didn't have a job at the time I asked him if he had anything for me to do and he said I could paint the porches of several houses....so I did. So for $50 a porch I got to paint in my bikini, and work on my tan. BEST JOB EVER;)

5- DANCER/CRUISE STAFF ON THE PRIDE OF HAWAII NORWIEGAN CRUISELINE

This was the best/worst/weirdest/best job I've ever had. It definitely was an experience of a lifetime and not only was I doing what I love but I got to travel and see things I never thought I would.

6- LOVESAC SALES REP

I will be the fist to tell you I was horrible at this job and I don't know how or why I was hired. But luckily for me I got a love sac for practically nothing and I only had to work there for a little over a month!

7- EXPRESS SALES REP

After I got home from working on the ship I thought it would be a good idea to work two jobs during the holiday season...wrong. I ended up working one night at express folding clothes and I was over it and quit the next day.

8- ABERCROMBIE AND FITCH NIGHT SHIFT

I worked from 10p.m.-6a.m. then drove an hour from waikiki to laie...not smart. I did this job for one week before I wanted to naw my own arm off....nothing but folding clothes for HOURS! It was horrible and I would have to say this was the worst of all my jobs!

9- TURTLE BAY GIFT SHOP

This was my view from my cold dusty gift shop at turtle bay. Not bad. I was the only white girl and all the employees were related or had known each other for over a decade...but they were pretty cool and they would buy me food and we would sit behind the cash register and chow down. Not to mention the employee discount on rooms...

10- APX OFFICE ASSISTANT

I survived last year so hopefully I can do it again...paperwork and licensing really wasn't all that bad once I got the hang of it. I got paid for 40 hrs a week when I was actually working maybe 10...so I can't really complain.

11- HAIRSTYLIST

Finally!!! I'm at a salon that I love and I'm doing what I love! It's a great feeling!

3rd Bloody Attempt!

Believe it or not this is my 3rd attempt to post this. I don't know why or how but the blogging world does not like me very much. But I don't really like it. So don't be surprised if this is my last and final post.

This was a while ago but I I have to write about my fun filled weekend because let's face it nothing is ever to exciting in my life at the moment.

You are looking at the entire Vilos family Thanksgiving fest. That's right we were all there plus Aunt B. for the first time in 8 years. Nothing but fun and good food for our Thanksgiving day.

What we do best at the Vilos Family. We eat and we lounge. Thank goodness for Dance Central the first game in the entire world that makes me want to get off my lazy butt and work it out in front of my family and friends.

This is my niece Sara and I love that she is full on giving me a dirty look. I feel like she could beat me up in this get up and not even fill a thing. Gosh I love her.

I've been wanting married pictures for a while so we decided to just go ahead and do them in our living room with the basic back hug and smile combo...works for every occasion...not just engagements.

Friday night was the Jazz game. Jazz vs. Lakers and WE BEAT THEM! I promise I'm not a huge fan of sports but you would have never known that at the game.

You would think Nate won the game himself by the way he was acting. There is no doubt in my mind that people were offended by the things he was saying and doing. He was literally breaking a sweat from air punching and kicking the entire game.

After the game our blood was boiling and our fists were pumping and there was nothing we could do about it so we started a dance party...somehow this dance party turned into a dirty night club full of "thugs" and never in my life have I seen "dancing" like that at a night club. Even I was grossed out.

Nate filmed some of the "dancing" but I don't dare post it because I would probably be kicked off the blogging world if I did. But if you are my friend and are curious about what this club has to offer I will show you in the comfort of my home. Or if you have a good imagination think of the worst, nastiest provo party you've been to and add black people and some creative positioning and you've got The Complex night club.

After that night I was completely done...but not really. Sunday we gave talks in church and no I was not prepared and yes I said the words "Welp that pretty much sums it up." in my talk that was maybe 10 minutes long. Let's just say I don't think we will be getting any important callings anytime soon.

By the time the weekend was over and I had caught up on my sleep Monday morning had come and brought A LOT of snow. This was the rare occasion when I actually liked it...so much that I decided to pitch in and shovel. Our neighbors had not shoveled one bit and this was my project for the day...I conquered it.

booya! I hope you think my weekend was as cool as I did because this literally is my 3rd attempt to share it with you. If not...I'm quitting blogs forever! jk...but seriously

Happenings

Here's some things that have happened in the Hills life since my last post:

*Summer sales ended!

* I landed a job at Garden Day Spa and Salon and I love it

*We finally found a place to live and moved in

*We've been to Ikea at least 18 times in the last month

*Winnie the pooh and Tiger for Halloween

*Only me and 3 other girls out of 18 dressed up for Halloween at work

* San Diego...again. For Nat's b-day!

* Vegas for a night...go kart madness

* freezing our buns off in this winter cold

* Dance Central Game is changing my life....

seriously if you haven't heard or tried this game you need to...I'm pretty sure this is all my family is going to do from now on for entertainment...

MAGICAL!

DISNEYLAND!!

I can finally say that I've been to Disneyland! After 23 long years of nothing but sadness and regret...just kidding...but seriously. It was everything I hoped for and more. It really is the happiest place on earth! I saw a grown man with a shaved head tattoos and wife beater skipping like a school girl with his hands waving in the air. That's the kind of magic Disneyland has. And now for the pics...enjoy

The day was HOT and the park was packed but we weren't going to let it effect us. We walked up and down, side to side, every square inch of Disneyland.

Yes I was THIS excited!

Minnie was actually the first character I saw and thought it was more than appropriate to wait in line to get my picture taken with her...yes we made her curtsy with us:)

SPLASH MOUNTAIN was exactly what we needed so we went on it first....I liked it

I'm behind the man if your'e wondering...you probably aren't though....awkward

Sometimes people have compared me to WINNIE THE POOH...I'm not sure if I should be offended or not, but he was one of my favorites growing up so who cares!

We didn't actually go on the TEA CUPS because I thought I might be sick...gosh I'm getting old....but they sure were CUTE to look at!

I got soooooo excited to go to SMALL WORLD it looks so awesome from the outside!

But then we got inside and it was probably one of my top ten awkward moments in life. It was one of the LONGEST rides with one of the most ANNOYING songs playing the entire time! NOT my favorite.

TOON TOWN was like a dream come true...I felt like I was actually in the cartoons I used to watch as a kid.

She's supposed to be a personal trainer...ha

MICKEY!!! You wouldn't know it by looking at this picture but this actually was a strange situation. We had to go through his entire house then wait in a secluded line until they brought each group in one at a time to take pictures...I told Mickey I had waited my WHOLE LIFE to meet him and he just stood there....then Evan went to grab his ears and got in trouble and something like this was said, "Whoa! Sir! Do not put your hands on his ears! Or anywhere near there....so thats why we are standing like statues....weird

Of course Natalie had to make the JOLLY TROLLY into something seductive

attempt #14

attempt #15 GOT IT! If you could've been there you would know how truly funny this moment was. Why were toe touches ever a dance move??? HIDEOUS!

Yeah....that's my toe touch...so what

We all tried

really

really hard!

I'll be honest. It was not exactly what I thought it was going to be but it was pretty awesome. I felt like I needed a 4 year old to have an excuse to go but I'm pretty much a 4 year old at heart....and so is Evan and Natalie so it was perfect! I LOVE Disneyland and I will not wait another 23 YEARS to go again!

The First Year

I can't believe a year has come and gone! I've loved every minute of being married and I feel so blessed to have Nate as my husband. He's my best friend.

We took the day off! We left Brownsville and went to the beach. We got a couples massage, and we did nothing all day long...it was perfect!

This is the first day since April that we have had all to ourselves...long overdue

No that is not us but we did take this death shot for a ride...CRAZY!!

Nate has been looking for a new car...I found this one....It would work and all you have to do is plug it into the wall!

This is the pool that we spent about 4 hours at. There were so many comfy chairs and beds we tried them all. 4 hours later we were burnt and tired.

Jumping Things

I HATE THESE THINGS!!

reasons why:

*they're everywhere

*they jump randomly

*they can fly

*they are gross

*they make annoying chirps at night

*I have found at least five in my toilet....I can't get myself to go to the bathroom after I've seen it in there

*when they die they become crispy

*I always think one is on me

*I think they know I am afraid of them

*they seem to know when to jump to freak me out
