Currently #1

 

Loving: Modern Warfare III, Staycations, and Iced Carmel Macchiatos. I can't get enough of them. Seriously.  Also my new hip hop class. It’s so invigorating.

 

Reading: Self and Shape magazines every month. I have yet to fall into a book recently (sadly) and have resorted to reading magazines with pictures of inspiring workouts and recipes that I never try. Oh and occasionally one of those cheap-o news line celebrities buzz magazines.

 

Watching: That 70's show in the afternoons, Friends at night, and an occasional teen mom and SYTYCD now and then. I sneak a Reba or two in every now and then as well. I need a new and exciting show to swoop me up.

 

Thinking About: Life in general, and how it can stand still yet fly by all at the same time. It’s interesting how things will never be just perfect, and it’s hard to try to let things go. Each day has something new to bring, yet sometimes it feels like every day is the same.

 

Surprised by: How far I have come, and how drastically things have changed in this year.

 

Making me sad: Thinking about what my family is going through right now. It's never easy. Also how insanely hot it is lately.

 

Making me Happy: Thoughts and hope for the future, and being stable (financially and emotionally (somewhat)) right now.

MIA

That has been me.

MIA

 

Between my life changing so drastically that I can hardly keep up,

And dealing with anxiety/depression issues I always thought people just made up,

Moving

and shifting

And working working working.

Surprise visits,

Lost of loved ones,

Heartbreak,

Hope,

And Relapse

I have had a lack of inspiration.

A lack of motivation.

My world is spinning so fast that I feel like I'm constantly dizzy.

Constantly fighting a battle.

And I apologize.

But I'm back to say a proper Goodbye

 NO No no, not to the blog. I will be back on here soon I hope....

 But Goodbye to one of the most beautiful women I have ever met.

Goodbye to an artist

A lover

A traveler

A painter

A woman who knew the meaning of doing what you have to do to support your family

A mother with too much family to even fathom keeping track of

An opinionated lady who spoke her mind

 and now...

 An angel.

Rest in Peace Grandma

You're impression on us was huge.

Forever with love.

I know you are swimming with the dolphins now.

The big 5-0h for the daddyo

Because it is his 50th birthday today!

So happy birthday dad!!

My dad (and mom and I) back in the day

Bathroom Poetry

I used to write poems a lot....

Just in my free time, scribbled on a napkin and shoved in my sock drawer, or on a random blank page in the middle of a notbook sitting in history class.

See everynow and then my brain goes into "rhyming mode" where I can't think of anything without making it ryme and flow together with a little rhythm. For a breif moment I feel all inspired and artistic, so I would try to write it down....with hopes to put it in a song somewhere someday or something...

I havent written a poem in a long long time, but recently my brain went into "rhyming mode" again and I came up with a little bathroom poetry.

Maybe some girls can relate...

I live in my bathroom, there's clothes on the floor.
The trash can overfloweth with tissues galore.
I live in my bathroom, I unplugged the fan.
The hum was so loud, I couldn't hear my favorite band.
I live in my bathroom, there's spots on the mirror.
When the shower heats up, you can hardly see clear.
I live in my bathroom, makeup is spewed around.
But with a quick swipe of mascara, I'm beach bound.
I live in my bathroom, landing pad for the purse.
Backdrop for cellphone photos, not sure what's worse.
I live in my bathroom, my own little space,
And to live anywhere else would be just a waste.


So ladies, do you have a spot like this? That (or seems to be) all yours?

Where is the landing spot for your purse??

How Did This Happen?

How did this happen to me?

How could I have possibly come down with....

BIEBER FEVER!?!?

It just swept me out of nowhere.

I swore I wouldn't.

But I did.

I blame this song....

It's a cold rainy day here in sunnyville CA,

perfect for a grilled cheese, soup, and a pepermint mocha.

Holiday season's around the corner.

You getting excited yet!?

I am.

Sorry for the lack of posts, its due to lack of inspiration. 

I plan to be back with raging ideas soon....



Year One

No, not the movie.....

But the first year that I have been living the dream (my dream at least).

The first year I could go to the beach whenever I wanted.

The first year I could wear shorts and a tank on christmas.

The first year I actually felt like I was where I belong.

Growing up, I had all these dreams of how amazing it would be to live in SoCal. I dreamed of walking the beach on foggy mornings, meeting people who were one with the ocean, and so comfortable in their surroundings. I dreamed of rolling green hills, warm sunny days, light jackets in the crisp evenings, swaying palm trees, and much much more.

I was surprised, though, that every single one of those dreams came true.

SoCal and surpassed my expectations, which has led me to believe that I can never leave this place.

The people here are so friendly, and I feel like they really get me.


There are of course a few things I miss about Northern AZ, like monsoon season, low rent rates, and curling up by the fire.

But nothing beats waking up in the morning, and going outside to the freshest scent in the world, and dew drops all over everything. Spiderwebs glisten, and you honestly feel like you can do anything if you put your mind to it.

It has been an amazing Year One here in San Diego.

I have a great job.
Great friends.
Amazing apartment.

(off our porch)

This year flew by like you couldn't imagine.

And I can't wait for many more years here in Paradise.

When the Lights Go Out in the City....

You have FREE REIGN to raid the freezer....including ice cream. (or else it will all melt!)

The candles are lit and the windows open up, allowing you to hear the world without the hum of computers, fans, ac's, etc. etc.

The streets go haywire. No traffic lights-no rules.

No food places are open, no means to cook your own food (unless you have a grill)..and you can forget about an ice cold beer....

Dogs communicate out the window, 101 Dalmatians style.

The world becomes a dark dark place, waiting for those delayed flights.

And once your cell phone dies, you are communication-less with the world. 

And unable to listen to music. 

Last night, from about 3pm to 1am, San Diego was still in its silent, dark self. 

1.4 million people without power.

dun dun dun.

We will just blame it on AZ. :) And now i'm going to turn off the computer to "save power". ciao for now.
