The last time I wrote I had just gotten done with mock interviews at Kathy Baldwin's house.
Again, I had a great time and was so happy to have such great feedback. This past Sunday, we had mock interviews again, this time at my wonderful director's home. Kati and Joe opened their home to the three of us - Arianna, Tierra, and myself - as well as Marina Inserra, Miss Nor. California Regional, and gave each one of us a chance to run through a full interview and then recieve feedback from our great committee. I am happy to say that I have improved since the last time, and am hoping to continue improving! I must also say, that I could get through any distraction easily after both of my mock interviews. At Kathy's house her beautiful cat decided that the "podium" we were using was actually her chair, and she wanted to hang out where everyone else was. At my interview at Kati's house, Miss Aubri, Kati's adorable little girl, decided she also wanted to be a part of the fun and asked a few questions during my interview. She's so cute and I definitely love having both her and Sammi around, even if they are a little distracting at times :)
Unfortunately I have been a little sick these past few days, but I have definitely not let it affect my preparation! I figure you don't get a day off if your Miss California, so I just have to push past it - just in case! Thankfully it happened now and not two weeks from now. Unfortunately I can't dance and I definitely can't play an instrument, so my voice is about all I have in the talent department! Have to keep it healthy and make sure that I'm all better for Miss California.
This week Marina and I have made it a point to workout with each other almost every day. Every time we get a little tired we just say, "swimsuit prelim!" and go just a little bit longer. It definitely keeps us going and pushes us to work as hard as we possibly can. Both of us are so excited to make the trip to Fresno - who'd a thought anyone would be excited to go to Fresno - and we cannot wait to see the other girls and just have a great time in general. We are both counting down the days!
Well, my family left for Hawaii today (great timing right?), they said they were going to relax for me...I'm not sure how that works, but I love them for understanding that things are too crazy for me to leave for a week - even though it would be nice to spend time with them, and be in Hawaii! I love them and am so happy that I have their support. I feel so blessed to have such a great committee who has prepped me and supported me in everything. Can't wait to see them at my farewell party!
Prep has been going extremely well, and now it's time to get the last minute alterations, make sure my emergency kits are packed, and begin organizing my bags. Kati does such a great job at making sure that each one of us feels that we have everything we need - and she has two babies! She goes above and beyond and I can't wait to make her proud at Miss California.
That's about all that I have for this week, short I know, but my life pretty much consists of sleeping, working out, a little eating, and watching the news. Oh the life of a Miss California contestant. I know it will be worth it in the end, and I can't wait to see how it all unfolds. Until next time...
Always, Saundra Combs
Miss San Diego Cities
