It’s such a beautiful day in sunny Southern California that you would think it is May instead of almost mid November. One of my favorite seasons is Fall, and while I would love to see more of those overcast cool days and more Autumn leaves, I can’t help but smile when the air is cool outside… Continue reading Grateful For Life
Did I ever tell you that as a kid I was in ballet and tap dancing? Actually my parents had us in quite a few things…gymnastics, karate, I even learned to play the accordion and have a little trophy to show for it. I don’t know how the heck my parents decided to enroll us in… Continue reading The Performer In Me
These last few days have been a bit tense for me. As you may remember I mentioned before that I started school again after taking 2 semesters off and now with working part time, going to school part time, plus the new responsibility of our baby daughter, I’m finding it really difficult at times to juggle everything without feeling overwhelmed.… Continue reading Cut the Control, Unleash the Flexibility
Today I was on kiddie overload. Correction, my mom and I were on kiddie overload. Yesterday, my vision of today was of a low key relaxing day spent with my husband, baby girl Celeste, and our bulldog Biggie. Unfortunately that image came to a screeching halt when my husband called me last night and told me… Continue reading Do Not Disturb
A few days ago I read the post Operation banging body, day effing 1 written by Ness at One Thousand Single Days, which you can find at this link http://onethousandsingledays.com/2012/08/13/operation-banging-body-day-effing-1/#more-570 Since then I’ve kept thinking about Ness’s words and the challenge she’s made to herself, so much so that I went back and re-read her post,… Continue reading I want my sexy back too!
Back in 1986, when I was around 11 years old, I remember getting a letter in the mail from one of my cousins in Mexico. Most of my mom’s family still lives in this small town called Tulancingo in the city of Hidalgo, Mexico, which is where I was born and lived until about age 2. (Tulancingo… Continue reading Mr. Postman, Is there a letter for me?
So I’ve decided to start seeing a therapist. That sounds so official, like I’ve entered into a new relationship, lol…well in a way I guess I have. Okay, momentary pause so that my friends/family who may (or may not) be reading this can take in the fact that yes, I did just say, I’m seeing… Continue reading Project Therapy
As I was feeding little Miss Celeste this morning and she’s falling asleep in my arms, I started to thumb through my cell phone email and found this awesome Zelda wisdom in my inbox. The timing couldn’t be better, our little one was down for her nap and not only did I have some free time to blog (a priceless… Continue reading Smooth out, fold, tuck in, and voila, a little piece of amazing!
For the sake of today’s post, the term “bullyfied” (which my husband and I coined) will mean: Trying not to maintain laziness. Ever since becoming a new mommy, getting a decent workout has become something of a challenge. As it was, before I became a mom working out was something of a love-hate relationship for me.… Continue reading Trying Not To Be “Bullyfied” (In the Bulldog sense)
To continue with my previous post about swim suit shopping, I’m happy to report that I found myself a swim suit! Oh how wonderful it felt to be in the water again! Even now as I take a deep breath and close my eyes and think back to my Saturday morning swim I can’t help… Continue reading Making Waves
