I Quit Blogging To Be a DJ

Fun· My Life

FacebookTweetPin
19 Jan

Hello! When we last spoke I was having dinner with my family. We met near my brother’s which meant I was ‘only’ 45 miles from Palm Springs where my best friend lives (that’s probably about half way there from me). So, I made plans to head to PS so we could go out.

When I arrived I was greeted with watermelon vodka. Freezing cold this stuff is good straight up. But, I’m not one to turn down a chaser either.

I thought I was going to be dancing solo all night, but a huge pimple decided to be my date for the evening.

We had a DD so we were all over the place. It was fun.

(Scored this red striped dress on super sale.)

When I’m not doing my running pose, I’m doing my ‘pretend to be asleep somewhere in public’ pose.

When I’m partaking in adult beverage this is hilarious (to me). When I’m sober writing blog posts the next day this is still hilarious to me, but just really weird to everyone else. Luckily, RER is weird so here ya go.

And I have a big announcement to make!

Last night I decided to quit blogging to become a DJ!!!! BOOM. Plot twist.

But, then I woke up this morning and realized I shouldn’t make life decisions that many drinks in so I have decided to return to RER.

Cindy got me fun ‘Party Sleep Repeat’ PJs. If only they added eat in there it would be perfect!

I wore my new PJs while enjoying epic nachos and fish tacos at 2am. Please note: ALL the above pictures are from Cindy’s phone but this was the ONE pic I took last night. Ha! Typical Monican, only loving the food.

(Fish tacos and bean burrito – no picture because I was elbow deep in nachos and loving life.)

This morning I rolled out of bed to take a walk and enjoy the beauty that is Palm Springs! Love it.

Then, Cindy’s Mr. made us the most epic breakfast of waffles and bacon and coffee. And all was right in the world.

Question: If you could pick a new job/career right now – what would you do?

What is more tempting to you – the Nachos or the Waffle?

How ‘bout we make nacho waffles?!

    I want nachos so bad now. I think I’ll make some with sweet potato chips and leftover pollo loco chicken.

    Your brother must live near where my dad is now. He’s always in PS golfing with his buddies – aww the semi-retired life.

    Waffles 110%! I actually think in another life I’d like to be a nutritionist or dietician … maybe even something exercise related like a physiotherapist. But something in the health and fitness industry.

    Haha…funny story growing up I considered being a DJ mostly because of my initials : DJB…but I would use it as DJBee and my logo would be a crazy bee stinging a Daisy flower. Haha!! So creative right? Luckily I went the medical route instead. Lol

    Totally the nachos (though that waffle looks good too). My dream job? If someone paid me and my hubbs to travel and write and take pictures and train for triathlons. If only… However my day job is making video games, so life ain’t so shabby. 🙂

    That waffle is amazing. I like getting one at IHOP when I just dont care.

    I did recently switch my career and am in the middle of getting my personal training certification. I am currently shadowing at a gym and hope to be teaching my own classes within a month or two. Love it!

    Those nachos look un- friggin- believable. Im more of a salty girl so I will almost choose non sweets over sweets but the waffle looks good too.

    Love it! We all need a wild night once in a while!! Definitely the waffle! In San Francisco, the late night food options are nothing like NYC so I’ve been known to come home and whip at yogurt parfaits at 2am. Trust me, I’d trade it for a waffle anyday!!!

    omg those nachos!!! I could live off nachos (then be 500lb, worth it? maybe). My dream job: professional dessert taste-tester. Is that even a thing?! If not, it needs to be!

    That waffle looks amazing right now! I haven’t had breakfast yet, so that’s part of it.

    New job? I’m actually in the process of switching jobs – I’m going to be teaching toddler/preschool gymnastics classes! 🙂

    Nachos! There’s this restaurant in town that serves bacon jalapeño nachos and they are the best things ever.

    Love your dress! So cute.

    Waffles – i love waffles!

    I would love it if someone paid me to be a stay at home mom but since that probably isn’t going to happen my dream job would be writing. .. i would like to be a very successful, but still not too busy, part time, freelance writer that mostly works from home ☺ or maybe I could write a book!

    Nachos and waffles are two of my favourite things so I don’t know if I could choose! I pick both. And p.s. I think the sleeping in public is hilarious.

    The waffle looks best to me.

    New Career Choice: I’m pretty sure I’d like to be Daryl Dixon’s side kick and love interest on The Walking Dead. I’d kick Zombie butt all day, and well the rest of time, I’d spend with Daryl Dixon. It’s obviously the dream job.

    There’s a few places here in DSM that make nachos out of waffle fries. Close enough to waffles, come visit and try them.

    I want to be a part-time fitness instructor & health coach – withOUT a FT office job. And maybe also a trainer for Les Mills BodyPump or BodyAttack. Dreams, dreams…

      I’d pick Nachos – I’m liking more savory food than sweet these days!

      Dream job – something in health/ nutrition for sure! I got a certificate in plant based nutrition in the fall but not sure what to do next. Luckily have this bomb diggity technical recruiting job to fall back on 🙂
