30 and one day

It's official! I survived to 30. I am officially in my 30's. O M G! I can not believe it...like that country song says..by dena carter..I remember when 30 was old...oh Lord.

It's hitting me slowly I guess. Yesterday was just another day at work...except I wore a dress and got a few cards and a plant. Same ole, same ole! No huge plans for my 30's. No marriage, no kids. More traveling and more yoga workshops. I'd like to learn how to do that stand up paddle board, go sky diving, save more, spend less. Downsize my "stuff". Eat right, exercise often. Love life, enjoy the beach. Keepin' it simple.

It really hit, when Ruthie posted on fb...maybe we could all go to Ireland on our 40th Bday!!! WWWHHHHAAAAAT! We are just hitting 30 dude...whoa....halt, stop...no one said anything about over the hill yet. by then though, we're all gonna be lean, mean, fighting machines..kicking ass taking names still I'm sure. Hopefully we are aging like fine wine and cheese and not aging like an old Duck Rabbit Milk Stout - lesson learned. Either way, it's gonna be a good year. And just because we're 30 now, doesn't mean we're gonna be lame...we will still out dance your ass any day/night at the club...we may just leave earlier, and drink more water...love you guys. Happy 30th to all you 1982 Babies!!!

YeeeHaaaaa~

Today's the Day

It's finally here. Matt leaves today to start his new adventure 1,000 miles away. It's so hard to walk out of the house knowing he won't be there tonight. Luckily I have work to keep me busy today, and Drake to keep me busy tonight. I have lots of projects to keep me busy, with the house, spring cleaning, getting rid of crap, my gardens...herbs, veggies, flowers...now I'm in charge of EVERYTHING...yard work, trash, vacuum (booo), laundry, renters, bikes, cooking, dishes, drake...it's been so wonderful these past few months having a partner in crime to divide everything with..and to ask to do things when I don't feel like it lol. and to make me coffee, or make sure the coffee is set in the morning. And let drake out late at night when i'm already in bed..Well, vaca is over for me...time to man up, and put my big girl panties on and take over like an Aries should! Probably take me a few days to get into my own routine, but I have confidence I will. Determination. 44 Days isn't that bad...44 days until he will come and visit. hmmmm. I already miss him. Drake's gonna miss him. WIth all the bad luck lately with his truck and all...I gave him my mala bracelet I made in yoga training for good luck and grounding, and saged him and Joesph this morning before I left. Say a little pray, chant a little protection chant...

So I figure my new routine will consist of more walks/jogs with Drake, cleaning something everyday, getting my pictures developed (i don't even know how to do that with my new phone), working out everyday either yoga or insanity or both..would love to start insanity again and be ripped in 44 days :) Like the commerical says, you just have to press play everyday..hmmm. We shall see. I'll definitely keep ya'll updated. For now, I'm ok. Trying to keep it together while at work. And no water proof mascara helps fight back the tears.

Until Next time ~ keep the heart smiling

It's Finally Come to an End

Well, here we go again...after about a 7 month "vaca" he's going back on the road. We knew this was happening eventually, and now it's a reality. Come next month, Matty will be headed to the deep south! Hopefully run into Troy and the gang from Swamp People! Fortunately I have so much here to keep me busy with work, yoga, trainings, the garden, drake, the house, the renters, the girls :) I will blink my eyes and he'll be back. I'm both excited and sad of course. Excited he can get back to doing what he loves and making some real money. Sad I'll be without him, and sad for Drake too...Drake's Gonna miss him....Luckily it's a short one, then it'll be his bday again....take a few days off and travel, kick it, celebrate, go to the country and what not. Same ole story for my bday this year...he'll be gone :( ...looks like we'll celebrate this weekend...oh well...not too worried about it..like I said, I have plenty to keep me busy. And grateful to have a wonderful support system close by with the girls and the neighbors, and if all else fails, I've got my shotgun! Who knows...maybe I'll find some time to venture down there...never been. We'll see. What I do know is it's about a17 hour drive from home, that's 1,026 miles away...waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.

Muwah Matty.

No Sugar

So, now that Matty's dad has diabetes...he's getting more and more aware of what he's eating. When he first found out, he turns to me and says, "maybe I should listen to you about what i eat". yep. Now, my mom, his dad, both his grandma's are all diabetic...this weekend he says, i need to cut out sugar! whoa...that's hardcore...even for me. NO sugar! I don't think he know's what he's in for...carbs, bread, everything has sugar. Don't get me wrong, we could all stand to drop a few...and I'm totally stoked he's on a health kick...but baby steps...black coffee - already doing, no soda, getting there...no alcohol...hmmmm. carbs...i love carbs...oh well...it's nice to have a partner conscious about food too! I got mom doing the Coconut Palm Sugar..suppose to be the best kind for diabetes...so next time I'm in Wilmington I'll be stocking up for us too...no more splenda, stevia, agave...oh no...what about honey?? hmmmm Gonna have to consult with my foodies at yoga about this one...

Until Next Time ....think twice next time you put something in your body....

party girl to yoga bad ass

Going from drinking every night, parting it up.....to yoga, breathing, yoga workshops, meditating - ahhh i love it....wonder if its me maturing into me and the fact I'll be 30 soon...or if this is my path..after 29.7 years.. I've found it!


No kids, not married, living at the beach, working a fabulous job with fabulous bosses, and now yoga..yoga has completed me! holy freakin' cow! I've seen the light. "yoga - it really is a way of life"


I'm less interested in the bar/club thing ..not saying I won't enjoy a nice bottle of wine from time to time..or celebrate St. patty's day....and Lord knows I love being behind the bar, but I'm just like yeah whatever.. i don't need it...



Until Next Time ~ Namaste.

St Patty's Day Volunteer Work

Matty's first St.Patty's Day Fest on the Island!

 And we put him to work lol :)

Cheers ~ 

Spring has Sprung

It's getting hot in here...So this week's weather is off the chain warm! Stoked! And Friday the girls and I have the whole day off!! WOrd! time to hit the beach, sand, warm sun...and chill. Kickin' it off old school! Excited to have some girl time and beach time...my legs need a tan! if they were tan, I might be more incline to shave them lol.

Question. So if it's already 70-80 degrees now in March...does that mean it's gonna hit 100-110 in August?!?!? Eeeek. One word for the summer = hydration.

later ya'll
