Story Of My Life

Woah There!

Last year around this time Mayra and I went to Denver for the Real vs Rapids game. We went on a rick shaw ride around 16th street thanks to Julia Kali and Sara. We thought we would die. Sara just dug up these AMAZING pics and finally posted them LOVE LOVE LOVE especially the second one. But then again I always love a good action shot...

Enough Then. Enough.

Things I Knew Already...

Maxwell

Awhile back around 2am Allison and I were walking around downtown. It was a hot summer night and we were enjoying our walk. Randomly as we passed a hotel suddenly this ran out from under a car:

He was skinny, timid, missing fur, and absolutely filthy. I asked the hotel if they knew who he belonged to, and the man said "He hangs around because guests feed him. Hes a nuisance. We are having him destroyed this week."
Naturally, I wasn't to found of that idea. So..... meet Max! (I know. I'm a sucker for a furry face.) Max, named after Max, from Where The Wild Things are and The Beatles, lives here now. He is scared to death of everything, but loves to cuddle and purr.

Ya, I'm pretty sure we love him.

On To The Next

(Jen Candance and I on my last day)

My time at Nordstrom is dunzo. I gave it a really good go but after 6 months I gave my two weeks, and my last day was Saturday. Life is to short to be miserable at your job. I tried and tried and kept thinking it would get better, but it just didn't. There were parts I loved. (The customers, the friendships I made, talking fashion all day...) But unfortunately the negatives outweighed the positives. (The hours, the selfishness of certain co-workers, standing on your feet 8 hours a day...) Anywho I got a new job doing advertising and some office help. The pay is less, but happiness and time are things money can't buy. I've never felt a job defines you as a person. YOU define you as a person. And like I said, Life is to short to be miserable.

So, onto the next! Bigger and better things are still to come!

Sunshine Song

Well, sometimes the sun shines on other peoples’ houses and not mine,
And the sky paints the clouds in a way it takes away my summertime,
And somehow the sun keeps shining upon you while I struggle to get by,
If there’s a light in everybody, send out your ray of sunshine.

I wanna walk the same roads as everybody else, through the trees and past the gates,
Getting’ high on heavenly breezes and making new friends along the way.
I won’t ask much of nobody. I’m just here to sing along,
And make my mistakes look gracious and learn some lessons from my wrongs.

Sometimes the sun shines on other peoples’ houses and not mine,
While the sky paints the sky all gray and takes away the summertime,
And somehow the sun keeps shining upon you while I struggle to get by,
If there’s a light in everybody, send out your ray of sunshine.

Oh, if this little light of mine combined with yours today,
How many watts could we burn away? How many villages couldn’t we save?
If my umbrella’s tired of the weather, weathered me down…
Well look at me no-ow.

You should look as good as your outlook.
Would you mind if I took some time, to soak up your light, your beautiful light?
You’ve got a paradise inside.
I get hungry for love and thirsty for life,
Much too full of the pain, ‘cause when I look to the sky to help me,
It most always looks like rain.

Sometimes the sun shines on other peoples’ houses and not mine,
While the sky paints the clouds in a way it takes away my summertime,
Somehow the sun keeps shining upon you while I kindly stand by,
A little light never hurt nobody; send out your ray of sunshine.

You’re undeniably warm, cerulean, you’re perfect in design.
I hope you’ll hang around,
so the sun it can shine on,
And the clouds they can roll away,
And the sky can become our possibility.
There’s a light in everybody, send out your ray of sunshine.
-Jason Mraz

Fall Fashion Fun

Seeing as I'm trying really hard to get out of debt when it came to getting a few new items to update my wardrobe for fall I was extremely choosy. Here are my fave picks. I can't wait till I get to wear them!


Fereglicous Ryder Boots in Taupe. The boots originally came out last year in the "Fergie" brand, a more expensive line. They were around $200 and were made of leather so naturally, I didn't buy them. But this year the "Fergalicous" brand released them Not leather & much more affordable! Especially after I got them on sale!

I am obsessed with this cropped Bambi sweatshirt. I remember the first day I saw it I fell in love. To bad it cost $128!! For a sweatshirt! So sadly I put it back Well I waited and it went on sale! (plus my discount) I so love it.
I love a good stripy sweater and this one is so soft and comfy. And 100% cotton. Trust me. When buying shirts/sweaters cotton is the fabric to go with. Someday I'll explain why. Loves it. PS never Never NEVER under any circumstance buy rayon/acrylic. NEVER.
You've heard me mention Zella leggings before, but now just in time for fall they come in Brown! Yay! I can't wait to wear these bad boys.
I LOVE these. I have been searching for non leather tan girly combat boots since last year, And I finally found them. :)

Interesting People

Its amazing how some times it takes one toxic person to make you realize who your true friends are how remarkably wonderful and beautiful (inside and out!) some of them truly are.
After speaking to my friend I've known longer then anybody about a situation I'm in with a certain "friend" she said something that really made me stop and think. She simply remarked about how I have always made a point to surround myself with really talented and interesting people and as opposed to focusing on this girl I should focus on that. So here it is a tribute to some of the most awe-inspiring people I know.

ERIC & CYNTHIA

Eric and Cynthia are a fantastic packaged deal. They both are 100% themselves. They are loving and always willing to help a friend out when they can, no questions asked. Eric is a computer wiz and Cynthia always knows the right thing to say. Cynthia is the girl that will hold you when you cry and Eric was always willing to be my fake boyfriend if ever I was in the need for one. What more could a girl ask for?

THE GREAT AND DISTINGUISHED CLAW

Emily is one of the kindest and smartest girls ever. I've known her since 7th grade and have not once heard her speak and unkind word about anyone. She is sensitive and caring beyond words and can also be one the most hilarious girls to be around too. When I need extra smart advice Emily is the first one I turn to. And to top it off she is a brilliantly talented writer!

DEREK RICHARDS WRIGHT

Derek also ranks up there with my super smart friends. He is brave, encouraging, and completely selfless. He is honest and completely trustworthy. Derek is the friend you call if you are stranded, need ice cream or even just a hug. He can always make me feel better when someone hurt me, even when he is a million miles away.

JENNY I GOT YOUR NUMBER

I have known this chica since 2nd grade. And while we have had our fair share of girl drama, we also know we can count on each other for anything at anytime. Jenny does more volunteer work then anyone I've ever met, And has an amazing voice. Plus, we both share a love of saving animals. I can't even begin to imagine what the last 22 years of my life would of been like without Jenny.

PINKY FRIEND

I met my Pinky up at Sundance years ago when Matthew Perry decided to blow us off. We were instant besties due to the love we both share of collecting pics with celebs. No we are not stalkers. We prefer the term "Celebrity Enthusiast" Pinky is one the most fearless, funny, and wonderful people I know. How many people would help make sure a certain famous movie star I plan on marrying doesn't leave you behind without a pic. Not many. But my Pinky would and has. Her ability to spot a celebrity from blocks away continues to amaze me. I never laugh as much as when I'm with Pinky. I sure miss her!!

Note: clearly I can't find all the wonderful people in my life in one post, so please stay tuned for a follow up....
