Oh no, it's July 6th!

Where does all the time go? Really? I can't believe it's been 3 months since we last posted or that the year is half over. Obviously, we need some time management help. Maybe we should give up our addiction to crackbook, oops I mean facebook.

My big Dilemma

My big DILEMMA is how to spend my friday night. It turns out I have lots of choices for this Friday. I can go to the Bars by the Book party on the 43 bus to an undisclosed Geneva bar (you have to go to her site to find out which one), go to the Kabuki with Gret and friends to see a movie and drink some wine or I can go the the Victorian theater to be an extra in Horror movie staring Peaches Christ. What is a girl to do? I wish I could do all three.

I did tell Miss Grenadine that I would go with her and I also said yes to Gret because I forgot the date of the Bus party, and I did put in my submission to be an extra to be horror movie which is one of my items is one the 40-4-40. Oh the possibilities, when it rains it pours, and by the way I am total open this Saturday....

thought of some more for the big 4 0

18. Canes Film Festival - take Hermanas
19. Hike some of the Appalachian Trail which could be really cool as long I don't see any freaky "The Hills have Eyes" people wondering around town.
20. Try to get "imaginary" husband to a social event which Hermana is attending.

Well, the list is half way done. I pretty proud of myself and excited about the list. Some of it is definitely within reach and a there are a few that are a bit out there. Now I just need to find 20 more.

21. Learn to windsurf - something I always say I am going to do.
22. Go to the SuperBowl Game - preferable 49ers or Steelers.
23. Go to a professional basketball game.
24. Ocean Kayaking.
25. Spa vacation in Mexico which I said I was go to for my graduation but the price keep going up. I hope to some day go; someday soon.

Okay I need 15 more suggestions. This list making is going so well.

I also thought I would see every film at the SFIFF but that cute boy Ben said it was impossible and I believe him becuase he worked for the fest for like ever.

My list of 40 for Forty

So now it is my turn to turn 40 (which is the new 20)! So I am making a list of 40 things I want to do before I turn 80! Yeah, I am the slow one. This is what I have so far and I am interested in some suggestions; you see coming up with 40 things is hard to do! This is what I have so far:

1. Cross Country Skiing Marathon in Alaska.
2. Have a baby!
3. Walk El Camino in Spain
4. Take Flamenco Lessons
5. Visit all 7 Continents
6. Visit Yosemite
7. Go Shooting/Learn to shoot a gun
8. Sky diving
9. Become a member of the Mile High Club.
10. Be a Movie Extra
11. Get on the Price is Right!
12. Go Roller Skating at the Roller Rink
13. Cross the Panama Canal/Go on a Cruise.
14. Learn to drive a stick so that I can buy a VW thing.
15. Learn to ride a motorcycle (wait I just might be getting desperate for ideas).
16. Take the Transiberian train!
17. Paintball anyone?

Any ideas? Hook me up!

My Favorite Time of Year

I love this time of year when all the trees are in blossom. We have a plum tree outside our house and I had to bring some of the beauty inside. I smile every time I see them.

Priceless List - 2008

More lists. Looking back at 2008, here are our picks for our priceless moments of the year. What were yours?

Chica Cherry's list
* Obama's victory
* Getting into a bullfight ring and caping a bull. It was a young bull but still a bull.
* Traveling, traveling and more traveling -- Washington state, San Antonio, Austin, New York (twice), Leon, Mexico (twice),and Washington, D.C.
* Turning Forty and surviving my Forty Days of Fun.
* Riding a bicycle built for two and not falling off.

Ms. Olive's List:
* Finishing my first year of LVN school.
* Going to the weddings of my two cousins (Mexico and Denver).
* Surviving Forty Days of Fun (Luckily I only had to do 29-35 days of fun)
* Taking my first sewing class since High School and realizing that I like it a lot more now than then. (I also went back and sew all these patches on my overnight bag. Now if I can just learn to fix the zipper on my overnight bag everything would be perfect.)
* Obama victory, sort of. I live in California so I pretty much knew he was gonna win. I mean when McCain brought in that chick and she started talking, it was pretty much in the bag.

Esty Shopping

I totally forgot to blog about my first esty purchases. I got two lovely items. The first was a retro recipe tin that came with a bag of tea from Julie over at joules. I have been using it. I was lucky to go into the Goodwill on Fillmore and find some beautiful recipe card with protective envelopes for only 2 bucks and I just recently saw the same cards at an upscale little store in Cole Valley for $14. Needless to say I was totally psyched!

The other item I purchased was a print from Ninja girl. It is just lovely and I absolutely love it. It is titled "Not from around here". The print was only $20 and I am planning to do a whole wall of just women.



I love both of my items and can't wait to shop for more things on Esty. It was so much fun and I think I got a good deal.
