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
There is a part of my subconscious (the stronger part) that is doing the bob and weave and saying “really, that’s all you’ve got?

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!
Our daughter Celeste is enrolled in Gybmoree Play & Learn classes and one of the songs they sing is one where each parent holds their baby in front of them and we sing along to tick tock, tick tock, now we’re reaching “x” o’clock, we even do the little cookoo sound to match the time we’re singing.… Continue reading Tick Tock, Tick Tock, Now We’re Reaching 2 o’clock
It’s 8pm and I’ve just left my mom, 7 month old baby, and nephew standing outside my locked car in the parking structure at the mall as I speed walk back to the stores we visited in search of my lost car/house keys. Despite the fact that I’m a natural worrier/over thinker, when it comes to moments like these this unusual… Continue reading More Than Just a Happy Meal
Among the many things that I enjoy doing with my husband, one of my favorites and top of the list is going to church together. We’ve been going to Parkcrest Christian Church together since 2006 (a few months after we started dating) and it’s a connection we share that has become a very important part of… Continue reading Show Genuine Interest
“The most beautiful curve on a woman’s body is her smile” I read that quote on a Facebook post the other day, and how appropriate that I happened to remember it yesterday as I stood in front of the mirror at the Macy’s department store, the swim suit department no less, and tried on what… Continue reading There is a swim suit out there with my name on it!
Not too long ago I had posted about being inspired by a post of one of my fellow bloggers to apply for a scholarship that was being offered for the Sociology Department at my school, California State University – Long Beach. I heard back from them a few days ago and as it turns out… Continue reading Against All Odds
