Changes

I'm so happy about the changes that are underway!! Chris is planning his schedule for next semester and he'll also be getting a new job with better pay and better hours(double win) which we are so glad about since the job he has now leaves little room for anything other than sleep. I know how much he wants to get back into the swing of things with crossfit and so do I! It all depends on his work schedule though and luckily that will be changing :)


My girlfriends Amanda and Melanie got backfrom their Vegas trip last night and were gushing about their trip. Amanda tells me the Chippendales show was the highlight of her trip she told me she wasn't really looking forward to it because she knew what to expect but once she got there she told me she was screaming and jumping and can't wait to see the show again. They told me they shopped and drank like crazy during the day which is what its all about during down time apparently. I also heard something about a party bus! I'm glad to have them back and we're all supposed to get together and have a night out this weekend so i'm looking forward to that plus they brought me back some prezzies i'm not gonna lie i'm a little scared as to what they may have brought back i don't want a banana hammock from the Chippendales show or anything ;) hahaha!


I've been doing allot for me lately, finally getting around to throwing out some of my clothes which i've had for too long to say on the world wide web (yeah that long) and i'm being much more careful picking out new clothes i try to stick to what i know i like and quality pieces that can be mixed and matched, quality over quantity. I've spruced up my makeup routine which i'm thrilled about! I've literally been doing the same eyeliner since i was in high school so i'm embracing this new change its perfect because i'm not the same person and its nice to finally start reflecting on the change on my appearance and not just my attitude and persepective. The next step is dyeing my hair I only want about a shade or two lighter but its still a big change i have the dye already I just want to be right in the middle of light and dark it has to be that perfect balance. Although I love contrasts its too intense to go back to being platinum/white blonde and black hair is too boring and impossible to get rid of so this will be my first in between.


I used to LOVE Tumblr so much all of my free time I'd be logged in and I used to cry from laughing so hard at the posts and memes, this was back in 2011. These days it feel like it has become a really negative place and chock full of pictures of models and the occult. I'm not into it. I just want to laugh! I rarely see anymore funny stuff and i have to scroll forever just to find one thing worth reblogging. Maybe i'm following the wrong blogs. Methinks i'm over it. I'm all about Pinterest these days. I've tried dozens of tutorials,DIYs, and shortcuts for every day life. Not to mention the amazing wonders of  cocout oil! I've never been so inspired to clean or organize ever! Even chris has learned a thing or two from it. I have about a thousand activities and ideas saved for Valentin when he grows up too. I'm off to make Chris lunch its almost that time again!

hello 2013!

I can't believe we're still here! Just kidding I never really bought into that Mayan calendar thing....Truthfully i did....and I had been dreading it for like 4 years since I first heard about it in high school! Something i'm embarrassed to admit is i'm always buying into how the world will end or what will happen to humanity, how we'll all die ect. When i was 7 years old all the older kids at my elementary school would talk about a huge commet hitting earth in 2000 and y2k wiping everyone out and i remeber like playing at P.E. time with my peers and just looking at all their beautiful faces and thinking "we're all going to die soon!" Ugh i get so obsessed with something and i even get really sad  so much that it affects my daily life and then Chris finally shakes me out of it but my goodness i wish i wasn't so gullible with these theories. Shit is damaging to my health!

On a good note I have decided after months and months, to start a small business this year! I am so so excited to do this i'm mapping everything out, have been for 3 weeks now its going to be a slow project i really want to do it right so i can always have this to lean back on. I'm an entrepreneur it runs in my family, so i got this. I just need a name and i already know what i'm going to be making and selling but over time that could change into something else so the name has to be pretty general which makes it more fun :)

Neither Chris nor I have been to crossfit since the beginning of december. We had two family members in and out of the hospital plus a death in the family needless to say christmas was not celebrated this year. December was relentless.

Chris and I both miss crossfit, we need to feel like we killed it, pushed ourselves to the edge and over it, like we accomplished something physically challenging everyday. With his new school schedule though we're going to only have one window to go and we're going to have to take turns with Valentin so its going to be pretty hard but thats what it costs.

January 31st is fast approaching! well sort of... Toro Y Moi one of my favorite artists ever, is playing a show here in el paso! I'm such a nerd i bought our tickets back in october! Whatever, i love them and i'm all about making future plans to be excited about :) I cannot wait!!!

Valentin's first birthday is coming up also; March the 8th this little boy turns 1 and for his birthday, that following monday we will be at Yo Gabba Gabba live at the plaza theater here in our wonderful city!

Lots of good stuff coming up i can't wait! I'm looking forward to taking a few classes next fall once valentin is a little bit older also and hopefully by then i'll have a good solid grip on running my business so i can continue staying home with my little man too

meh!

Infinitely sore

This week has been an interesting one it has ended with chris having the whole weekend off! (he hasn't had one since may or june). Crossfit this week was rough it is hard to climb back up again after getting off the monkey bars, but i have climbed and i'm back on track! Valentin, Chris and i are watching a little gilmore girls before we head over to the suprmarket for some fresh veggies to go with the shrimp we're having for lunch, then we're off to the park for a walk. Chris is totally maxed out on gilmore girls i borrowed the 3rd season from my sister and i've been watching it all week but i promised when i finished we could do whatever he wanted. I have been feeling so very inspired lately to use my hands to make things, plant, paint, clean! I don't know where this hunch is coming from but i feel sooooo good about it! Productivity ladies and gents, the cure to any and all low lows. Well that and physical activity of course. I'm still working on getting some amazing pics of us and our day to day stuff i love my family and i really want to share them here:) Well we're off for the day, goodbye!

crossfit

Tonight is going to be an exciting one because i'm going back to crossfit after taking a few weeks off (baby stuff) And its even better because chris is starting crossfit for the first time! I started looking into crossfit back in august, took an intro class and signed up for the on-ramp which is a month long beginners class to prepare you for regular crossfit classes so you learn all the movements and correct form. I fell in love and have been doing it ever since! I was never the kind of person who was good at staying motivated and fit i hated it so much to be honest but i've gone through pregnancy,a c-section, being a mom for the first time and carrying around all the left over weight it certainly doesn't help that i was overweight before i was pregnant also but honestly crossfit isn't like the hamster wheel at the gyms and zumba. What i love about it is that you are always with a trainer in a group and you can scale down the movement so that form doesn't suffer because really its not like your gonna walk in there and be able to do a pull up or even a handstand push up so there are scaled movements so that your still working to your full potential without hurting yourself. I have so much every WOD i really do and i never thought i'd fall in love with something like this and i swear in the beginning i was always visualizing the part in Fight club when edward Norton says "A guy who came to Fight Club for the first time, his ass was a wad of cookie dough. After a few weeks, he was carved out of wood." and i just visualize myself pushing myself past my limit and being all tough. Its a little bit of a dramatic reference haha! But i do go a little crazy in my head sometimes. I'm also a huuuge movie buff so that doesn't help!
