It’s been a while!
So by now I am sure a few of you have realized that I am not very good at updating this. What can I say? I’ve been busy! I apologize to anyone that left me messages or emailed me that I have not gotten back to you yet. Yet I say! I do read them all and they usually make me smile. Please keep them up! I like ‘em!
I have been pretty busy the past few months. (although it looks like my summer is going to be even crazier!) I am nearly done with my almost 10 months of work at Hell’s Kitchen. 10 months! That is a REALLY long time for a freelancer in LA. For the most part I have really enjoyed myself. A couple of rough days here and there, but it definitely has not felt like 10 months. Friday June 6th is my last day!! They had originally wanted me to stay until the end of the month, but I have another job waiting for me to start on the 17th. Back to Big Brother. Season 10 for the show, my 5th season with the show. That’s a long time too. I am looking forward to seeing everyone and getting back into the swing of things. Working on Big Brother, crew wise, is exactly like summer camp. I’ve made a lot of really good friends on that show. Hopefully this season will be a little… a little less crazy/creepy than the season they just finished.
So Big Brother training week starts on the 17th of June which means I have a whole 11 days off! My longest vacation in a very long time! And wouldn’t you know it I have each and every day booked up. I’m a glutton for punishment. I get done with work on Saturday morning at 5 a.m. and by that afternoon I will be in Vegas for the weekend. A friend of mine is getting married there on Sunday and has invited 200 of her closest friends. I think at least half of them are coming from Los Angeles. It will be fun to take the weekend to relax and still hang out with my friends. And of course the beautiful ceremony.
I get back from Vegas on Monday afternoon and then Tuesday morning I have a flying trapeze lesson! I really do. My mother asked “why?” about 5 times. My only answer is that it is going to be awesome! I’ll hopefully have pictures to post later that day.
Then Wednesday I am going to hop aboard a sailboat and sail over to the Catalina Islands for 5 days of relaxation and scuba diving! It has been a really long time since I have been out on the boat for more than a few hours. Hopefully the weather cooperates and I can work on getting rid of these awful tank top tan lines!
I’ll be back in Minnesota twice this summer. I’ll be in the Duluth area June 25th through the 29th and the Bemidji area July 24th through the 28th. Both trips are for the weddings of good friends of mine. I am really looking forward to it and it promises to be a lot of fun. Mark your calendars and let me know if you want to get together for lunch or something. They are both pretty quick trips, but I would love to see everyone I can.
Take care and please drop me comment or email (kymatthes13@gmail.com) when you get the chance. I love to hear from everyone!
