Media, Volleyball, and Rest…

Posted on April 2, 2007December 20, 2012 by vballphil in AVP, Friends, Fun, volleyball

So, this was the last weekend of rest for me…heading into the 2007 AVP season. Can we say mixed emotions!! I am pumped to be traveling again, with my friends…BUT…wow…can we say fatigue and frustration central?! Anyways, this past weekend started off with the AVP Media Day/Hilton Launch Party at the Beverly Hilton on Thurs night. It was beach glam meets Hollywood. Good times! I got to meet some pretty cool people, along with hanging with some amazing people…hehe! Here are some photos from that night (with more coming soon)….

This weekend was the SCVA National Quali for 15’s, 17’s, & 18’s…so basically I had friends, who are both college coaches and club coaches, come into town. Good times! I love hanging with my “boys”! Haha! And Lutes too :)! And then I was also able to head to the beach and enjoy my day there! Haha! Concept right? I met some of my former players (and was going to play, but ended up just running) and just vegged! NIce right! After the beach, I headed to the ASC to support my former players…good times! I am so proud of y’all! Anyways….the 2007 season is about to start…so here we go!!!

"MVP Like Steve Nash"

Posted on February 19, 2007December 20, 2012 by vballphil in Friends, Fun, Las Vegas, NBA All-Star Weekend, volleyball

So this weekend I was lucky enough to get a 4-day weekend so I could head to the “infamous” Vegas Invitiational. On top of that, the NBA All-Star Game was in Vegas at the same time…can we say CHAOS!
It was awesome to see some people I rarely get to see (Chap’s & Hooka…2 of my 5 fave girlfriends in the world), except at these national tourneys (my boys know who they are). But I will say, there were some VERY important people missing from the crazyiness (and you guys know who you are)! And on a side note about going out, I really didn’t get to see too many stars, except my friend’s friend who is in “Men in Trees” and I should have hung with my friend Gavin, and Mario Lopez on Sat night…BUT NO. I made a bad decision…hahaha.

I must say, it was cool to see Steve Nash at the NBA All Star buffet at the Palms on Sunday morning (thanks Kashi). All I keep singing is the line “…MVP Like Steve Nash” in the song “Promiscious Girl” by Nelly Furtado. I have never claimed to be sane, btw. I really couldn’t tell you what other players were there, but I know there were a bunch of current NBA players in the house. Hahaha.

Now it is on to more trips, bigger people, and seeing everyone at various locations! YEA!!! Oh, and I will not forget a camera this next time!!

2006 AVCA in Omaha

Posted on December 18, 2006December 20, 2012 by vballphil in AVCA, Omaha, volleyball

So when you are thinking about traveling to Omaha, Nebraska try to be awake only at night (no offense Buffa). At night the downtown is absolutely gorgeous. However, in the day, it is another story. Whatever. I had to travel to Omaha for the 2006 AVCA Convention/NCAA Final Four to promote the AVP. And actually, it turned out pretty well. I got to bring 5 athletes (who all rocked) and got a bunch of free Crocs (SCORE)! Haha! Here are a few pics form the first night. I actually got to hang out with one of my closest friends from college at UTPA….Buffy, aka Buffa, who still turns heads in a room. :)!

A Has Been?

So I never thought that I would have been a “has been” or even anything! But…UTPA did a piece on me as part of their “Where are they now” series. Hahaha! Here is the link for the article…kinda cool!

Reno and Beyond

Posted on June 30, 2006 by vballphil in AVP, Friends, volleyball

Wow…so one trip down and three to go! Woohoo! So last weekend was spent in Reno with 6 AVP players and one of my interns. Good times! I had half of the PBJ crew the first day…and night…can we say CRAZY! These boys are major up and comer’s on the tour…and are VERY EASY on the eyes…hahaha…but too young so no thougts anyone! We did have fun…the “Talent” (the boys) , the “boss lady” (me), and the “intern”!

The next day I had Suzanne & Michelle come up. They actually played college ball at UN-Reno so it was not a bad thing for them.

And finally I had two of my friends, and great players, come up…Brittany Hochevar and Angela Lewis. It was cool hanging with them for the day that they spent up there.

On the last day I got to hang with my fave Cristy…CHAPPY! I never get to see her or the Laguna crew…so good times were definitely had on Tuesday night!!!

Flying out of Reno is always fun…let me tell you! But this time was absolutely AMAZING! I am a huge TAHOE person…ask anyone who knows me about my wedding plans..hahaha…the view from my window was breathtaking. Then flying into Newark was amazing too. I had the whole island of Manhattan in my window. So beautiful!

So now I am in Seaside Heights, NJ (where they did the MTV beach house a couple years back). It is really cool out there. Or at least it is cool for a few days! Woohoo! My sis, my cuz, her boyfriend, and potentially my bf from HS and her hubbie are coming!! YEA!

Next week…Hotalanta!!

Dallas Baby!

I forgot to put these photos up from my trip to Dallas! Talk about a great, yet miserable trip! The friends and job were awesome, btw…and we will just leave it at that! :)! Here are some photos….

Me and Julie…the good and the drama!
