This AInt Your Grandmas Way of Mopping

How I love my new “steam mop”!
I don’t know about you but I hate mopping my floors. My place is small and I feel like the only way of cleaning my floors…ARE on my hands and Knees. Yup, the way my old school mom showed me how to do it! I tried using the swifter and swifter mop AND I still felt like I had to put a little old school muscle into it. Then I saw this infomercial and there it was “The steam mop”. Then the next week I saw my sister in-law who just is that type who buys only the best or what works (in a good way) Well she has great taste and I admire that about her. So… I finally bought it AND had a wonderful time mopping my floor!

SHEWOLF in the Closet::::

This Sunday I lay here sick. I assume it’s from the last three days.

Thursday, Katie and I went to the pink concert. It was kind of lame..don’t’ get me wrong I do like those popular songs. BUT Pink Is really just that old raver who you bought XTC from.

Friday, we drove down to Santa Barbara! Only in Santa Barbara do you have a pizza delivery guy driving a TT-Audi. Then to top it off we call for a cab and a limo picks us up.
I love Santa Barbara, maybe when I decide to leave one day… I can live there.

Saturday, was Solvang….ice cream and French fries. Yummy!
We didn’t stay to long in Solvang because, we felt like we were going to die.

In a nut shell my last three days…Now next weekend is going to pretty much the same. Busy Busy!

The School of Cuzco

I finally bought the painting that I wanted. It is influenced, by “The School of Cuzco”….In 1532 the Spanish conquistador, Francisco Pizarro, conquered the Peruvian empire of the Inka. Artist of post-conquest Cuzco, directed by the king of Spain to accept the Christian faith, combined European styles of painting and iconography with ancient Peruvian traditions which began to forge the Andean Colonial Painting of today….

...bake contest against myself

Saturday…i had a bake contest against myself! Last weekend I woke up with the idea, that I would start baking. Well, I thought it was a good idea and this is how it all began.
I went to the grocery store and spent about a 150 big ones. Not on groceries per-say but, on bake goods, came home and started, eating. This continues throughout the weekend, and through the week. Anyhow, I started to make home cookie dough (from scratch). Then there was a knock at my door “my handyman”. His name is Husain Fuckeir (no joke). Keep in mind I live down town, no air conditioning, small place, and a gas stove, no fan above the stove and dressed to attend my nieces b-day party (who the cookies were for). Well, I finished the cookie dough and began placing them in the oven…while talking and listening to my H.M., discussing why he has had two failed marriages, and now on iran-singles.com. I was distracted and while placing the cookies on this weird sheet it leaked through the bottom and started to burn….my whole kitchen, was up in smoke. While my smoke detector was ringing like a jail break…I ran in the kitchen, turned off my oven ran back over to the smoke detector knocked it off the ceiling with a wooden spoon…ran back to the oven, tried taking the burnt cookie piece of shit pan out…burnt my hand (3 places). Sweating like a dog…with a Iranian handy man looking at me like I was crazy. I ended not making cookies, after that batch and ate the raw cookie dough for the next two days. Yummy!

Sunday…Blue Berry Cheese Cake, I made it by scratch! It was delicious! No Oven Required…thank god!

My trip to Guam

Just flew in yesterday and boy are my arms tired (lol). I enjoyed my vacation…hot, with amazing beaches. My friend Aki was kind enough to be my tour guide, and give me a little san jose drama…just in case, I was missing home. I met people, who I’ve heard about in those, back home stories…some that I have spoken with but never met. I have heard so much about guam for the last ten years. So, I decided to check it out, myself! Slow pace, with amazing food (pickled papaya my fav.) and just like the crazy stories, I have heard all this time. What is there to do on a small island but cause some trouble and Surf...

like sheryl said....another expensive lesson for this year! I've had quite a few:") “same face just a different place" Glad to be home!

fleeing down and now up

I’ve been feeling really down in the dumps the last couple of months, but now I great. It’s crazy how you feel one way today, and another way tomorrow. If your normal, people who are not normal like I... take a couple of weeks:-) So, it made me think…”Why or What made me feel better”!
I know this sounds crazy...but, I think Nordstrom had a something to do with it. I ran in to the store, to stretch my Tori Burch Flat’s. Well, that’s what I thought I was going to do. Then behind this wizard of oz, drape..there were the pre-pre season shoe sale. Yes, it’s wonderful 30-60% off…I bought four pairs and don’t have to worry about winter boots. It's still going on and not just shoes, check it out! The hunter boots are my list..because, it rains so much in Cali.
