Gillette - Nascar Tour: Pocono, Eldora, New Hampshire

So this week I've been in Pocono...never been here before..it's so pretty. We are staying at a resort type place with a water park (that's closed..just my luck) and all kinds of other fun stuff. We are having a company luau which is going to be a lot of fun. At the track we are going to be filming a few commercials. I will be doing a few different ones, One with John Cena, Joey Logano, and Clint Bowyer. We will have a camera crew go out to the camp site and tell the nascar fans that we are going to be filming a documentary on them about razors, nascar and life of the nascar fan... then I will drive our spiffy razor golf cart and surprise the fans with a Gillette Young Gun driver and we will do an invasion and have them shave right there. So much fun! I'll keep yall updated!

Eldora: Was fun and DIRTY! Love dirt racing...though I didnt get to see Jeff G win that's okay it was lots of fun anyway.. there is NOTHING OUT HERE... Subway and Walmart..

New Hampshire: BLAST! Jamie got to come work this race with me and we had a great time. We ended up staying in Boston the last night and it was so much fun to reminisce about our ASK days... Basically we just drove around on our golf carts and went into the camp grounds and have people take the proglide challenge and they became believers. :)



Just working here in Eldora..

February, March it's all a blur..

February consisted of... Daytona, New Mexico, Las Vegas, Nashville, Bristol, Myrtle Beach, Martinsville and back to Chicago.

Daytona...the luck from Miami carried itself to Daytona...yall ready for this mess?
We worked for Pub 44 for Bike Week...promising money, great time and easy work...HAHAHAHA J O K E!!! We worked for some felons who wrote us a $2,000 bad check and were later being searched for by the police for a number of charges. Can you believe that?! BAD NEWS! Fun road trip I guess..

Chicago to Albuquerque ... Jamie and I road tripped across the country...kinda..and it was a blast! Went thru, Detroit, Oklahoma, Texas... lot of fun! We took Clay, Jamie's boyfriend his car. We slept in his RV on an Indian Reservation and watched "The hills have eyes" ...it was filmed right near there...FREAKY. We also spent Valentines Day there also... poor Clay. Ha! :) I sure was missing my sweet valentine though!

Las Vegas... We worked the Magic Show which is one of the biggest clothing shows in the US. We worked for..Playboy Jeans just modeling the clothes...the dresses...and the blisters on our feet. Pretty sure we will never do that again...EVER. My sweet boy did send me some flowers the first day we were there... :) I had the giggles after we got off the plane from no sleep and flying to Utah then to LV at 5 am and by the time we checked in we were a hotmess. I do love me some Jamie! :)

Headed to Nashville to spend a little QT with my man, and then headed to Bristol at 11PM to work the Nascar race the following morning...NO SLEEP = NOT PRETTY. Just get the race weekend over with and then it is all play and no work for a week or two. Kevin and I headed to Myrtle Beach to visit my best friend since the 2nd grade and so I could meet my sweet new little nephew baby Parker and so Kev could finally meet Brittiany. We stayed there for a couple of days then headed to Martinsville to WATCH the race. FUN! We went out the first night we were there with Buddy Brett and B rad, and they made me do the hula hoop contest...don't worry..I won. Glad I could make Kev proud. hehe..

MIAMI, Florida January 28th - February 9th

I am SO excited I get to see Jamie! It's been 3 months and that is the longest we have been without seeing each other! NOT OKAY. It comes down to today..the airport...I'm probably gonna scream...and I should have made signs...ugh...next time!

OHHHHH kkkk...
January...ughhh....Miami....UGH....see a trend? Jamie and I flew to Miami for 2 weeks to work the Saints Super Bowl VIP parties. Sounds fun, right? W R O N G... we got screwed out of money, and ended up spending way more than what it was worth... the only few good things that came out of the trip was mine and Jamie's reunion, Kevin and Clay coming to see us for a few days, and our Jamaican friendship bracelets my love got for me and Jamie.
We ended up also working a Jordin Sparks event, and then riding around on a Saints bus straight from ... NEW AWLINS! It was a lot of fun, though I thought to myself if I hear "WHO DAT" one more time I am going to go crazy... ha. :) At least they did WIN. We ended up becoming some pretty intense fans by the end of the week, even bought myself a saints shirt..yes, Drew Brees and even downloaded an entire Saints play list. Anyway we survived, and on to the next stop on our little person tour! See you in CHI TOWN.



Just hangin out on the bus...



yeah! Boyfriends :)

and the VODKA AND CAVIAR RED NAIL AWARD goes to...

"Red Nails"

So, painting my nails tonight I realized that red nails are like a type of people...

I was trying to figure out what color nails to do. Looking through all my nail polishes I thought, maybe red since it's almost Christmas...good idea? Maybe..I like dark nails normally but thought it would be fun to change it up...I picked up the OPI color 'vodka and caviar' and I love pretty colors with fun names so I decided to go with that one. Pretty red, cool name..in! Even though I had doubts the entire time, I put the first coat on and I wasn't loving it...it was okay but I wasn't like "OOOHHHHHHHH", went to do the second coat...still no 'WOW' going on. Smudged my thumb when I was put the nail polish away, and then smeared the middle finger when I was turning on the shower. Grabbed the clear thinking I could save the smudges and it only made it worse. Ran all on my finger...looking like a 3 year old painted my nails. To make matters worse it was so freaking thick when I was taking it off, it was hard to get rid of, smeared, dyed my fingers, ran in the cracks, all on my cuticles, under my nails and wasted 50 cotton balls.

So let's break down and compare to people...

Just because someone has a pretty look and cool name doesn't mean they are good people. pretty on the outside does not equal pretty on the inside.

When I put on the first coat I had doubts, like people like polish, gut feelings are typically right...

Tried a second coat to make it better, nope. Only made it more intense and harder to get rid of in the end.

Tried to fix the smeared nails to smooth things out, and make it work even though I didn't really want to, only to have it take forever to dry and be a bigger pain in my butt.

Last step, took the polish off and it stained my nails and the area around it, kind of like when everything hits the fan and people wont go away because they have left marks all over your life not in a good way, in a annoying 'cant get rid of you red polish' kinda way....

Bottom line, I know a few 'Red Nails' and I'm pretty sure you do too...next time go for the one you want in the first place. It will save lots of time, energy and cotton balls. (I don't know what cotton balls really have to do with that but I needed a third example and this one fit.) Andddd, red nails work for some people..just not me.

*A BIG shout out to the girl that made this come to my mind. Because of you, and your lies and fakeness I owe this to you. If they made a VODKA AND CAVIAR RED NAIL AWARD, it would be yours!

Sprint

I haven't blogged in a while and I wanted to put this out there for yall...I did email it to most of you anyway but why not blog about it too and go back in a year from now and read this and think, "Man, this is why I didn't get the Miss Sprint Cup job..look at what I am doing now" ;)

Hey ya'll...just wanted to write a quick email saying THANKS so much for everyone's thought & prayers about the job with Sprint. I got an email earlier tonight..unfortunately, I didn't get it. BUUUT, that's okay and no doubt in mind that the prayers worked and I am at peace with that decision. I know it wasn't God's will for me to have that job right now and that gives me a humble heart about it. Most of you know I am pretty private about interviews, auditions and castings because this is the part I hate, and normally I don't tell more than 2 or 3 people about things like that and some how it turned in to being a few more this time... hmmm. My big mouth? hehe. Thanks again for your thoughts and prayers! AND PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE don't call or text me about it...yall know how and I am I WILL start crying because that's wendy petty, but I PROMISE I am fine not getting it! :) swear.

yall are the BEST and I'm blessed with such awesome friends and family in my life!

ps,

For everything created by God is good, and nothing is to be rejected. 1 Timothy 4:4

O lord, How can I be more amazed than by seeing you use everything for your good? At times, when I think things are not going right or when others trouble me with their problems, still you are involved, moving my life toward the goal you have set for me. Help me, I pray, to be more trusting.

xxo

PSS-

I'll stand
With arms high and heart abandoned
In awe of the one who gave it all
I'll stand
My soul Lord to you surrendered
All I am is yours

Chicago: 10/6 - 10/20

Danggg, OCTOBER? Why did you come so fast? I've fallen off the blog wagon apparently but guess who's back in action?! WENDY PETTY, that's right. And thanks to GOGO In flight internet I can post my blog while flying. The past month has been crazy busy, I've been out of town every weekend in September ...worked for Speed the first weekend in Richmond, VA, then in Charlotte for the NHRA drag race and then a family wedding in Charleston, SC last weekend and now headed to Chicago for 2 weeks. FINALLY I am done packing. Ughhhh, one of my least favorite things. I can't imagine everything I have left behind that I will need. Oh well...had a commercial audition this morning in Greensboro. It well well I think..It was rainy this morning when I left...I made Jess drive so I could study the script. WHY do I suck so bad at memorizing stuff? It sounds like it will be a funny one...it's an Austin Powers spoof, so I will hear something from that soon.

I got to the airport and they said they flight was delayed due to fog in Atlanta...awesome. None the less I am on board and soaring high. However let me do a little math for you.. delayed flight + SCREAMING baby + sitting on the runway for 20 minutes = me going nuts however I DID feel a little better when I got my flight necessity..which is?? You should know by now...YEPPPP Gummy Bears! So now I can't wait to get to Chicago and see Jamie and everyone!!!! Fun times will be had! We have a pretty busy next 2 weeks, and we will start it tomorrow with a 50's style pin up shoot..so that will be a lot of fun. I will try my best to keep my blog to date. :)

P.S. Sunday I did a photo shoot so I will post pics as soon as I get them back..!

xo

Tuesday night...

Landing in Milwaukee was HORRIBLE. I literally thought I was going to die. We went down to land and about 2 seconds from the ground we went back up, full speed and everyone screaming. It was like a horrible part in a movie that the plane was about to go down. The sounds of people gasping and screaming was terrifying. LUCKILY the guy beside me was a pilot a few years ago and talked me through the craziness. I was FREAKING OUT!!!!!! We ended up going about 30 minutes out of the way to re-route and try and come back in for another landing, the pilot said that the wind was too bad (and it was!!!!!) and if it was still the same on the second attempt we would have to go to O'hare. It was the craziest turbulence I have ever experienced. Needless to say the second attempt we did make the landing however if was after we bounced all over the runway. My heart is still in the air...

Thursday 10/15

I can't believe it's almost time for me to go home. I have been so busy since I've been here. We had an amazing photoshoot on Wednesday the 6th. It was a 50's style shoot for a new pin ball game coming out in the next 6 months. The shoot lasted about 4 hours and me and Jamie were so tired when we were done. Hair and makeup took FOREVER and it was good to come home and take a nap.

We also worked with Nexxus Haircare...long hours. looooooong hours is all I can say about that.

Today we have done nothing but hangout. I responded to some modeling jobs and emails. We went shopping and I got some new sunglasses, coat and clothes. Everything I DO NOT need anymore of. Ha...

I will write back when I have another chance...talk to yall later ;-)
