My Desk and my Smash book

It really is this clean. The lights have been dimmed a bit, I think it makes my area a bit cozy. Untitled Desk

Since I know I have at least one reader (Hi Karina), here is an update on my Smash Book. I don't really do 'chunky' on the book. Since I carry it in my purse I don't want it to heavy. 

Inside. Untitled My family. I wanted my first pages to be of the most important people in my life. Even though, and I am sure this is for all moms, I don't feel like their most important person. Untitled March Calendar Page Untitled Just stuff..but look at the baby boy. I can't get enough of my nephew. Untitled more stuff. Untitled April Calendar Page. 
I've collected images from different magazines. The card on the left is my new business card - as if I need one. I put the little mustache face over my info. Untitled my boring but awesome life. Untitled and that is it. OH..if you have time, and happen to be in the area..I am doing a make and take tag at Remember When next Friday.

This, that, and then some more of something else

Hollywood Half Marathon

Have you ran any marathon's lately? I get this from my boss all the time. I laugh, it's not like I like to run, because I really don't. I only do it for the photo opportunities. Really.

Matt, me, Mark, and Susie 
Taken at zero dark in the morning. Always great seeing a friendly face in the morning.

And here were are with Irene. Irene was my 'Lets do this thing' partner that day. Had such a great day with her.


It was great running through Hollywood. I kept thinking here I am running with someone who doesn't drink, and here all I could think about is drinking. Hey there were all these cool bars I had heard about and had been wanting to try, and now I know where they are at. Even though my doctor said no more drinking. BUT I don't drink everyday, it's more social. I just love hanging out with friends. OK yes I am making excuses, but whatever...I love Jesus but I drink a little. LOL. Yes you had to be there.




If this doesn't motivate you, then nothing will. At this point when I saw these guys it was at mile 11/12. It was ALL Uphill towards the end of the race.












Then just random photos. 

 Sweet messages from Mark. I sent him a message saying I was proud of him. 
 The Medal.
 A must need, a pair of sparkly race legs from Team Sparkle!
He was so happy here. I love his smile. I love him.

It was a great day spent with amazing people.



Scrapbooking


Not sure if I mentioned it yet, but maybe not. I got chosen to be part of my local stores design team. Remember When Scrapbooking.

I went to my first team meeting a few weeks back and .... was totally intimidated! Why? Because I haven't done this in so long. Don't get me wrong I scrapbook, I do it for me. But doing it for someone else is kind of nerve wrecking. Well those were my thoughts. But now I'm all about the challenge

I hosted my first make and take, and I think it went well. I smiled. I chatted. Big Thumbs Up.

I even scrapped a few pages. If you have ever scrapped next to me, you would see I pull out things and put things away, I hate clutter. I do this at crops, but at home it's a different story.

Here are a few of the pages I created.

A fun night in Hollywood going beer tasting. So I wonder, am I the only one that still uses her plastic alphabet pattern. All I know is that font is called watermelon.

beerathon_right
It was an Unofficial official beerathon. The actual event was cancelled by the ABC. Fudgers right, but it didn't spoil our weekend. With map in hand and beer specials to be had..We still had an amazing night. I pulled out my Fuji Instax camera and had a blast.

memories
This layout was left simple on purpose. Aren't they just adorable!!
waiting_to_play
My scraproom has crappy lighting. The original, in my opinion, is beautiful. My nephew Zach, is watching Mark and his nephew play basketball. He was so eager to go play. It was just adorable watching him watch them.
 go go go
Each time my parents come home and he sees them he starts saying "Go, Go, Go." Meaning take me outside in my little car.


More Photos because I can't get enough of them

Scarlett - she will eat just about anything I eat. Here I had to share my PB & J sandwich with her.

For whatever reason she was just being a total fuss ball. So I asked if I could stick her in the bath with bubbles. Even with little ones, all you need is a bubble bath to make things all better.

Where have I been?

I haven't blogged in forever. I guess I've been a little busy. If you don't know guess what..Mark and I got married. We went to Las Vegas with our closest friends and family. 11.11.11. <- that is the date Mark picked, lets hope he won't forget our anniversary. We had the best time ever, all thanks to my friend Letty who helped organize everything. Really couldn't have done it without her. 


_MG_0203
Been spending a lot of time with this little cutie pie. 


This is Scarlett. She is as adorable as they come. Mark and I are always fighting for her. I can't wait for her to start walking and talking because we are going to be besties. I just know it. 


And then there is this adorable little hunk of a baby boy. His name is Zachery and he is the cutest little boy EVER!! When I say "My nephew is cuter then yours" I really mean it. When he sees me he gets all excited! 


He just started walking! His birthday is in a couple of weeks and I totally predict he will be running on that day. He is so smart and just so loving. Well he doesn't give hugs and kisses, but his smile...oh that smile kills me. 


See I told you! That smile gets you every time. 


Where are my babies. 
Well here is an update. This one here has a girlfriend. (Picture stolen off Facebook). She is adorable. I've only met her once, but the fact that she reminds him to call his mother..well that really makes me like her. 


And look at Mr. Smiles with his 2 little sisters. This past weekend I had a few people, that recently met Josh, tell me that he has the most amazing personality. He was such a great help and I should really be proud. Tears came to my eyes. We had a conservation recently where he told me "Mom, i have to tell you, I really like school and I love working." I cried. He looked at me and asked are you crying? Me NO!! I just got something in my eyes and laughed. I love him with all my heart. 

Here is a more recent picture of Mark and I taken on Valentine's day. We celebrated 15 years of being together and 3 months of being married. :) Yes I know it's about time, but the wait was worth it. 


We went to Coupa Cafe in Beverly Hills. The the food plus our company made it an amazing night. To top off our night I got a red light ticket. Oh yeah, thanks Beverly Hills. I love you, but not that much. Thanks for the gift. Now does anyone know how I can fight it? 



And that is the recap of my life. Not much going on, but in my case that is a wonderful thing. 


Oh but one more picture, because it's the best of all. 
Yeah that is me in a pink sparkly skirt with the cutest pink striped stocks. I had the best weekend with these two wonderful ladies. More fun times are ahead!! 


OK really now..that is all I have to say.

4/6 What a mess...but a happy mess

Mark and my dad have been talking about redoing the kitchen floor. If you have ever been to my house you would have seen that my floor really needed replacing.



I knew my dad was going to start working on it, but still the mess always gets me right here…A.R.G.H. It’s me. What can I say. I know I will love the finished product but look at my kitchen. :P

My dad said there were about 3 layers of vinyl flooring. Mark and my dad picked out all the flooring. I can't wait to see the completed floor. :D

But that isn't the only thing going on. My shower had been leaking and me not being a plumber thought you could just replace the thingie...the thing that pull to turn the water on and off. Heck.. I'm not a plumber I don't know what it's called.  
Well instead of replacing that thing...the plumber had to tear out all the guts. Can you see it? Only thing that makes me sad is that the tile is a vintage soft yellow and very hard to find. I have a feeling I am going to have mismatching shower tile. Oh well....but I get a new shower head and all the other stuff. So I am happy. BUT in the meantime I have to use the boys bathroom..kinda gross but I came out alive.

This is the face I got from my dad when I walked in the door yesterday. No reason I am posting this but just to say thanks Dad..i love you mucho.Cute right? Now you know where I get my looks from. 


Since I couldn't cook dinner...hahah... i decided to scrapbook. 

It's been a while since I scrapbooked and really not having a kitchen available to me gave me the excuse to go hide in my room. :) I've missed my room.

Not more then 20 minutes later I got the cutest visitor.  
 If you haven't seen all the photos of her on Facebook, this is Scarlett she is Mark's baby niece. We had the best visit yesterday. At one point I was holding her and she just started talking to me, yes baby talk but it was the best conservation ever. She is absolutely adorable.




I haven't talked about my training lately and here is an update. Pure A.W.E.S.O.M.E.ness!!!! OK who bought tickets to the dodger game in my name? No really?? Who are are you? I can't thank you enough! I received a total of $370 from the Dodger game fundraiser. I know of about maybe 20 tickets or so, but I wasn't expecting 37!! THANK YOU!!!

My fundrasing total is currently at $1,905. I have 1 matching gift ($800) that I am waiting to hit my paycor account and once it does...the rest is just down hill. WOW...WOW..WOW...Yes I am patting myself on the back. This has been an amazing fundraising season. Thank you all who have donated.  

My next event is Drag Queen Bingo. If you have never attended one of these events you must. Email me if you want more info.
