Nick and I spent one evening last weekend picking and cracking walnuts. I have to admit that I made the job more difficult than it needed to be by attempting to pick up the walnuts with a bucket in one hand and a cider in the other. Next came the cracking....who knew that cracking the walnuts could be so much work? My dad used to give me the walnuts cracked, toasted and in a freezer bag. I don't think I fully appreciated it until last weekend.

I got a compliment on my "ombre" hair today, which I just loved. I guess that means that I have let my hair grow out far enough that it now looks intentional :) I actually have a few more photos to share with you all soon. It feels nice to take pictures and blog when I want to, rather than feeling the pressure of doing it so frequently. Thank you all for you continued support and for being so understanding! </div>

Thank you all so much for the kind words. It really means a lot to me that you a) enjoy my blog and b) took the time to share your thought. After taking some time to think it over I have decided to continue to post; however, on a less frequent/regular basis. I think the pressure of posting four to five times a week was a little much for me to manage. I will try to update a couple of times a week, but no promises. <br />

We spent the week/weekend enjoying the company of one of our nephews and my aunt. We had sleepovers, visited the reptile museum (not ever going there again), and headed to Santa Cruz boardwalk for some rides and lunch/dinner on the water. I love when family visits, but it makes it that much harder when they leave. At least I know that I will be seeing them again soon!

I was going to write about finding this shirt in my closet and visiting with family, but instead I will tell you a little about the conversations I have been having with my sister and husband. I am thinking about quitting :( I don't know if any of you have put yourself "out there" before, but doing this blog has definitely taken me out of my comfort zone. When I started this blog I had very high expectations for myself, like most people do when they set out to do something. I also set a goal for myself, which I have not reached, not even close. Blogging can sometimes be the most rewarding part of my day and it can also be the worst part of my day. I have received so much support from many of my family and friends and I am very grateful for that. I wouldn't have made it this long without them. I think I need to reevaluate why I am doing this and what I hope to gain, if anything. Any words of wisdom would be much appreciated :) <br />

I thought this skirt was really fun and decided to step outside of my comfort zone a bit. I have been getting very excited for Fall and the upcoming holidays. There is nothing better than pumpkin flavored everything, changing leaves, snuggly blankets, and the smell of rain.

I always struggle with what to write. I typically write a paragraph about how I am feeling, what I am thinking, some goal that I have, etc., but I always end up deleting it. I know the blog is supposed to be my space, where I can put what I want and not care. However, it can be difficult to open yourself up like that for several reasons...will anybody read it? take it seriously? care? I also realize that I go in cycles with my attitude (not caring, being angry, working hard at be a "good" person etc.). I guess what I am trying to say is that I am not ready to let anybody/everybody/nobody into my crazy little mind like I let those (un)lucky few :) I know that I have said similar things before, so I guess my consistent topic is discussing the difficulty that I have coming up with topics.

I wore a variation of this outfit in Tahoe for a girl's weekend getaway. I am not going to lie....I saw Lydia from Real Housewives of OC with a similar top about 4 months ago. I searched until I found one that looked identical (because I loved hers so much) and it turns out that this is the exact top she was wearing! And I say that I am not computer savvy :) Have a great weekend!</div>

I was cleaning out my closet and found these shorts at the bottom of the pile. This was one of my go-to looks last summer and I am still diggin' it! On a completely different note, I tried a new fitness class and I am loving it. It is a mix of yoga, pilates, and strength. It is kind of like a fast paced yoga/pilates done to really fun music. It's nice to mix up my routine. <span id="goog_1127352700"></span><span id="goog_1127352701"></span>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10063239436708519920noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2174707228855853862.post-31726072173956164412013-09-09T20:28:00.000-07:002013-09-09T20:28:32.352-07:00Leopard + Leather + Bows<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
Because of your strengths, you are a self-reliant person who needs time alone to think and work. You generate innovative ideas and propose systematic programs of action. You likely identify recurring configurations in the behavior of people, the functioning of processes, or the emergence of potential problems. By nature, you can reconfigure factual information or data in ways that reveal trends, raise issues, identify opportunities, or offer solutions. You bring an added dimension to discussions. You make sense out of seemingly unrelated information. You are likely to generate numerous ways to enhance, upgrade, revise, correct, or revamp a process, action plan or itinerary. Your suggestions often influence how a project will unfold in he coming months or years. Fixing people or things ranks high on your favorite activities. Chances are good that you customarily pinpoint the core problems and identify the best solutions. You artfully and skillfully eliminate distractions. This helps people gain a clear understanding of what is happening and why it is happening. You frequently identify ways to transform an obstacle into an opportunity. You yearn to improve things about yourself, other people, or situations. You are drawn to classes, books, or activities that promise to give you skills and knowledge you seek. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
I hope that you enjoyed reading about my top five strengths/themes. I was a little surprised with the outcome of my assessment. It took some time for me to realize that these really did fit my, even if some apply better to different aspects of my life (personal versus professional). If you were interested in finding out about yours I think you can go to the GALLUP website, although there may be a fee involved in taking the assessment. </div>

<em>Relator</em></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
It's very likely that you genuinely enjoy activities when just about everything makes sense. You naturally gravitate to tasks where facts, events, processes, or ideas are methodically outlined. By nature, you enjoy being busy, especially when you can assist someone in need. You are likely to be a good partner at home, in the workplace, at school, or in the community. You tend to do more than is expected of you. Why? You probably worry about wasting time. This explains your habits of volunteering for projects and asking for extra duties. Instinctively, you routinely reduce elaborate or intertwined ideas, processes, legal documents, and/or action plans to their basic elements. As a result, people usually turn to you for plainspoken, easy-to-understand explanations. Chances are good that you enjoy the companionship of individuals who tell you what they plan to accomplish in the coming weeks, months, or years. Once you know their goals, you can help them reach their objectives. Few things please you more than this. Because of your strengths, you are naturally open and honest about who you are, what you have done, what you can do, and what you cannot do. Your straightforward explanations and stories help listeners see you as you see yourself. You reveal your strengths and limitations. You are forthright and plainspoken. People generally seek your company and want to work with you. Many are impelled to move into action by your words and examples.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<em>Futuristic</em></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
It's very likely that you consistently strive to improve yourself personally and professionally. You are inclined to target your shortcomings rather than enhance your natural abilities. You aim to minimize your limitations or eradicate them altogether. You think this is a small short-term plan for reaching your long-term goals. Driven by your talents, you intentionally take steps to be the mastermind of your future. You refuse to leave your destiny to chance. You probably resist placing it in someone else's hands. You trust your own intelligence and imagination when setting a direction for your life. Chances are good that you channel your mental and physical energies toward what you can accomplish in the months, years, or decades ahead. The question is this: "How far into the future can I think before my ideas start becoming vague or uninspiring?" Because of your strengths, you are eager to get started on a project once you realize what you can accomplish in the coming weeks, months, or years. You work very hard to breathe life into your big dreams. These often push and pull you into the future. By nature, you naturally spend a lot of time creating innovative ideas about what will be possible. When you concentrate on your areas of mastery, you frequently exhibit the behaviors of an inventor, a visionary, or a dreamer. You usually think about using your finely honed--that is--sharpened skills and knowledge in ways others have not considered. </div>

I thought I would hit you with some picture overload to make up for my lack of photos :) I am loving this leather peplum skirt. I hate to sounds like every other blogger, but this piece is going to transition so well into fall! I am also very excited to be featured on Dailybuzz.com again! Geek Chic was the topic and of course they chose a picture of me wearing my real glasses :)<br />
<br />
I know y'all couldn't wait to see what my second "theme" was so here you go....
<br />
<br />
<em>Context</em><br />
Driven by your talents, you diligently examine past events. You find patterns that keep recurring. This information allows you to anticipate what can happen in the future. You grasp the meaning of George Santanyana's warning: "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it." It's very likely that you like debating people who have expertise about past events and key figures in history. You often make sense of things by putting much of this new information into a historical framework. By nature, you examine the past. You discover why things happened. This permits you to foresee the future. You study humankind's story to identify subtle nuances, recurring sequences of events, and predictable human behavior. Generating clever, resourceful, inventive, and original alternatives, you can offer solutions to age-old problems. Because of your strengths, you have an expertise for investigating historical records and other sources of information about the past. Based on your findings, you are in a position to speculate--that is, assume or wonder--about what is apt to occur in the future. Simply put: By looking back, you can look ahead. Instinctively, you enjoy acquiring information about the past from experts. You feel a lot more capable when you are knowledgeable about various periods of history. <br />
<br />
***Dear Sister, <br />
I have diligently examined the past and I did indeed create the Barbie outfit! XOXO<br />

We got into a little bit of a food rut for a while, but we are attempting to turn that all around. AND I ate fish. Okay it was tilapia, but that kind of counts still right? <br />

<strong>Cucumber and Mint Quinoa:</strong><br />
<em>Ingredients</em><br />
<div class="email">
1 cup raw quinoa<br /> 2 cups vegetable stock<br /> 1 large clove garlic<br /> 1 medium bay leaf<br /> 1 tsp. fresh ground pepper<br /> 1 tsp. salt</div>
<div class="email">
1 Tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil<br /> 2 Tbsp fresh lemon juice<br /> 2 Tbsp fresh chopped mint leaves<br /> 1 cup small diced seedless cucumbers (I used a cucumber with seeds)<br />1/2 cup small diced red onion</div>
<div class="email">
</div>
<div class="email">
<em>Instructions</em></div>
1. Place stock, garlic, bay leaf, pepper, and salt in a heavy saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium high heat.<br />
<div class="email">
2. Add the quinoa and return to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer about 15 minutes.</div>
<div class="email">
3. Remove from heat. Let it sit for about 10 minutes. </div>
<div class="email">
4. Stir in the olive oil, lemon juice, fresh mint, cucumber, and red onion with a fork fluffing up the grains as you toss it lightly. </div>

I also wanted to share with you one of my top five strengths. In short, my place of employment is working with a company that helped us to identify our top five strengths or "themes." We have been attending workshops on how to use those strengths to be our best self, better work with a team, etc. I thought it was just another personality test, until I saw the results and the endless possibilities for combinations. There was not one other person out of the couple of hundred people that took it that shared my same traits. Apparently we are very "cutting edge" by using this in the workplace. <br />
<br />
For those of you who know me well none of this will sound surprising. Hopefully those of you who don't know me or who want to know me a little better will find this intriguing...<br />

<em>Top Theme: Individualization</em><br />
<br />
Chances are good that you frequently examine the factors leading up to an event. Therein you discover the reasons why things happened the way they did. A number of individuals and/or groups probably appreciate you logical thinking style. By nature, you want to offer your assistance to people. However, you often struggle to find the words to tell them you are willing to lend a helping hand. Driven by your talents, you sense that every person is one of a kind. You can quickly discover what makes someone distinct from everyone else. It's very likely that you help individuals feel safe enough to risk sharing their most personal thoughts and feelings. They trust you will keep this information to yourself. You probably sense when someone is vulnerable-that is, easily hurt by criticism, rejection, or betrayal. Instinctively, you tend to be more successful when you work on your own. Knowing your contributions benefit someone else truly pleases you. <br />

Chances are if we just hung out or had a conversation, I am analyzing it right now! This is why I will apologize for how something may have sounded 30 minutes after the conversation!<br />

I had a very busy weekend and have yet again neglected my blog. I believe I have said this before, but I am not a picture person (then why the heck did I start a blog? haha). Example: I was gone all weekend in beautiful Tahoe, dancing it up with some gorgeous ladies and I managed to take about five whole pictures while I was there. We outfit planned for weeks...and still no pictures. I like to think that I am having too much fun to remember to take a dumb picture. I would rather be actually making the memories instead of just photographing a bunch of stuff...but I guess that it is just my excuse for not keeping my blog in mind :) I hope you will forgive me!

Sometimes I feel like photographs just don't do my outfit justice. This blouse is beautiful in person, but is coming across a little bleh in the photos. I guess you will just have to take my word for it. I am looking forward to the long weekend as I am sure most of you are.

Don't mind my wrinkled shirt. I would like to pretend that it was totally wrinkle free before tucking it in and wearing it, but I don't want to be a liar. I am not much for ironing (everything seems to come out worse than when I started) and I am very thankful that we have a steamer. I remember several years ago when I told my mother-in-law that I never ironed or dry-cleaned anything...I thought she might bust a vein. Since then I can say that I have improved...a little. I now go to the dry cleaners once a year! :)<br />

I wore this cozy dress over the weekend to breakfast with my family. This dress is quite old, but I never get tired of the print. On another note, I made a meatloaf last night that had a ton of vegetables in it. It actually turned out better than I had expected...my husband even requested that I make it again. </div>

Nick surprised me with a date to the movies on Tuesday evening. We figured out that the last time I had been to the movies was last summer! We used to go all the time, but neither of us have movie going very high up on our list of priorities. It was nice to treat a weekday like the weekend for once though. It was also a good way to cheer me up. <br />
<br />
As many of you already know, my grandma passed away on Sunday. I have very mixed emotions when it comes to death, but one thing that I do know is that even under crappy circumstances it is always great to see family. The rosary was last night and afterwards many of us headed to dinner. On the car ride home I was smiling and feeling so much joy after being around family and catching up. It makes me want to buy a bunch of land and build our own little commune that we all live in. Who's in? :)Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10063239436708519920noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2174707228855853862.post-9239757906339497732013-08-20T21:48:00.000-07:002013-08-20T21:48:40.749-07:00Leopard Circle Skirt<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I googled ecards and spent more time than I would like to admit reading them. I also ended up with tears in my eyes and a strong urge to copy a bunch to this post. I think I am a little (cough- a lot) late to the game so I wont bore you anymore with things you have already read. But seriously, if you want a good laugh....</div>

I have been stealing inspirational sayings/quotes from instagram, friends, etc. Sometimes all it takes are a few simple words to help put things into perspective. I also enjoy reading ecards and thought that this one was pretty fitting:</div>

How adorable is my nephew? He was patiently waiting for us to be done with pictures, so that we could go swimming in the beautiful pool in the background. It is tough looking at these vacation photos, especially since I started back at work yesterday. I think I decided that Fall is my favorite season, so at least there is that to look forward to :)Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10063239436708519920noreply@blogger.com2
