Hello there! Have you missed me yet? Life has been crazy, from starting a new job to arguing with dirty neighbors to new discoveries in cooked and baked goods. I am telling you, life is full of things that you never even dream about. There is so much potential in what you can do in life. 24 hours can bring so much time (or sometimes, or rather, most of the time, no time AT ALL) and having a full time job, three dogs and another full time business can have me rolling around in circles begging for some order.
My wonderful boyfriend gifted me a Motorola Xoom Android-powered tablet a few months ago and I must admit, I was a little bummed it wasnt an iPad (listen to little ole spoiled me...). The Apple interface is so beautiful, so clean. So effortless. This tablet seemed like a huge mess. He bought it for me so I could organize myself better and be able to mobilize my documents without having to carry around a computer with me (so heavy and risky, and knowing my clumsy self I would probably drop it in a puddle somewhere, lol). I neglected the poor little tablet for a few months. Kept it in a drawer hidden. Took it out every once in a while to see if there were any new updates.
It was just there. Existing.
Until I discovered this amazing website/Cloud based app called Dropbox. Now I know what you are thinking...."WHAT WORLD DOES THIS CHICK LIVE ON?!!?" Yes, I know. But don't think that I heard about it till just now, I had downloaded it into my iPhone about 2 months ago and hadn't really tried it out. Underestimated its full capacity and capabililty to assist me in so much. Then I found out that my tablet can have Dropbox also! OMG. I have died and gone to synch-me heaven. And to think that the first 2GB are free. Honestly, unless you are uploading and storing pictures in this app, you really don't need more than that. I know I don't. Jeez, I should get paid for saying all this. Then again, I sometimes expect to get paid even when I am on the can. Obviously not happening.
I should learn to blog more. I like blogging. It is such a release. I admire those people who can blog every single day. I will make sure to find time to write more often (I have the blogger app on my tablet! Yeay!)
Thank you for reading...if there is anyone reading...anyone out there? Lol. It's okay. Maybe this can become my not-so-private private diary online? :) I will be back tomorrow (maybe.) Lol.
Peace out homies. Live long and prosperous.

Gym time and a Little Ray of Sunshine.
Hey everyone! I hope that this Monday has brought everyone a positive outlook on the week ahead.
I am currently home, with my brother watching Red Riding Hood. It looks awesome so far, but honestly, Amanda's Seyfried's bug-like eyes have always kinda freaked me out a bit.
I am glad that I am finally taking a rest, my day has been somewhat one that felt like it would never end.
I woke up early, around 7am. And decided that today would be the day that I would go to the gym, for the first time in about 3 years. I used to have a gym in the old apartment building that I used to live in, but it was very run down and had one treadmill that worked when it felt like working.
I decided to take advantage of a 7 day pass for LA Fitness that was given to me a few weeks ago. I went, I saw and I conquered! It was an awesome workout, and I thought that I wouldn't last long as I worked up a sweat on the elliptical machine, but it was so exhilarating and my Skrillex tracks were a major motivation. I shot some hoops after doing a few weight machines, it brought me back to my high school days when I was co-captian of the varsity basketball team. Good times....
I went to the supermarket right afterwards to keep my healthy pace on track. Bananas (product of Honduras, of course, the best!) apricots, fresh Romaine lettuce, skirt steak and fresh Fuji apples. I bought this delicious White Chocolate Peanut Butter by Peanut Butter and Co. and I eat it with apples. HIGHLY recommended. I am always bugging my brother because he is allergic to peanut butter and I don't think that he understands what he is missing out on. I actually feel really sorry for him.
Anyways, I paid my groceries and went straight to the post office to drop off some orders that came in during the weekend :)
Stephen was ecstatic when he saw the skirt steak I had purchased, and asked if I could make it then and there. I love my little brother, so I happily obliged to his request.
Skirt Steak, medium well. Texas toast. Buttery corn. Can't beat that.
And for desert, of course, ice cream....Cookies and Cream to be exact. Delishh.
I'm still feeling really good about the event that I participated in yesterday. I was asked on Saturday by a friend that I used to work with to participate in an arts and crafts fair that her church was participating in.
I have participated in about two of these already, and had sworn to myself that I would never spend money on these types of events again. They usually do not go well for me since people go to those places
expecting to find cheap finds and "splurge" on that. Nevertheless, I agreed to go and take my jewelry.
I didn't pay a cent for the table but instead agreed on donating a portion of my earnings to the church. I was there at 7am sharp and left around 2. The sun was brutal, and I was wearing this beautiful cluster necklace and now I have a white ring of skin where my necklace was. It's a pretty funny sun tan. But the event was actually a good outcome! I was pretty happy with the results. I was elated to see how interested people were when they saw my new earrings from my bridal collection. I sold a few of those. I sold many of the old bracelets that I have been trying to get rid of for a while....and for me, that is always an accomplishment to be proud of.
Take a look a these pictures from the event:
Enjoy :)
