Just peachy..oh peary?

Between school, work and house chores I really haven't had the time to really write, so lets recap.
My classes are O.K some are better than others and I am still procrastinating on homework, actually I have this one essay due tomorrow and instead of working on that I am writing on my blog...anyhow, I am really liking working as the ads manager for the Lake Front but is sure does keep me busy.
Life at home is good, this Sunday we had this cold front come in and it was just the perfect day to garden. This is where the picture of the pear comes in, I went out to the tree to prune it a little and to my delightful surprise we got our very first pear!!! We have waited for 3 years now to get fruit we had even given up hope that I was not a fruiting tree. I also finish painting the front porch rails and re-planting and cleaning the flower bed, which left me with this annoying back pain =(

Another cool happening is that we are getting a hot tub this week and the best part of it is that is FREE! we just have to go get it from Jeremy's co-worker's house that apparently has this hill-like driveway so it should be a fun little Sunday, we are actually recruiting workers to move this tub, so any takers?

We got this awesome cold front today and it feels like fall already, it is so nice to be able to open the windows shut of the A.C and wear sweatshirts.
So, here I am sitting at the Lake Front office, windows open and all (let hope no bird fly in here that would chaotic), listening to No Doubt and not doing my homework.

Las Vegas is calling

30 days until Las Vegas!!

Back to school

Wow! talk about a busy week, school started on Monday and I haven's stop moving since.

I am proud to say that I am taking a full load this time around, a whopping 16 hours!! but I am taking classes that are focused on my degree and the classes are (insert drum roll here) Marketing, TV Production, Media Ethics, Broadcast Witting, Marketing for the Media and Tennis. I am also back on staff at The Lake Front Student News, and I am now an editor (not to thrilled, but...) I am also helping out with ads and promotions for the paper and that is what I am really excited about since is what I am passionate about. I know that my classes are going to be tough, but they will definitely prepare me for the "real world" and for that I can't wait!

As far as news from the home front, nothing really exciting. This past weekend we went to see Tropic Thunder and we were terribly disappointed =( we were expecting more comedy that random non sense and mumble words, but I guess it was still entertaining to watch. I am thinking this Sunday we should give Pineapple Express a shot, that one looks really funny, but so did Tropic Thunder.

Tomorrow I don't have to go anywhere expect to go fill up with gas before the prices really go up, (Gustav is making its way over here) I should of gone today but I was running a little bit late, well not really late but I wanted to stop at Starbucks for coffee, and didn't stop to fill up oops! so anyhow tomorrow will be nice to get time to clean the house and relax..

So, that's it!! you can go now.... lol.. =)

Sunset on my way home.

Its been raining a lot lately

Nothing new

Only five more days until I return to class and I can't believe how fast the summer went by but I am ready to go back to classes.

I really haven't been posting anything because nothing new or exciting has happen, we have been going over to visit friends, going tubing and some weekend we went out dancing. So, as you can see nothing new but I am sure that will change once schools starts, especially working at the Lake Front will keep me very busy and will give me new stuff to write about.

Right now, is raining again and we are loving it since we finally get a break from the heat and the plants get water, plus is the perfect weather to stay inside make muffins and watch movies (all of which I did today).

With nothing else new to report, I am out!!

back to working out

I have made up my mind to start working out again, I seem to have gained 2lbs since I got back and I am not going back to that. So yesterday I went for walk at the local park and it seems that everyone likes to walk at the same time, I felt a little lonely to be walking alone plus I am not a big fan of the "hamster-walking" meaning walking around without getting anywhere, I rather walk with a purpose but either way I walked and felt good after worth.

Today I started the Slim in Six program, and man those 28.16 minutes sure kick my butt!! and since my goal is to lose another 5 lbs before going back to school I have to just suffer and get to it!
.
Another good news, yesterday after my walk I drove by the tennis courts and I saw the same man teaching tennis, so this time I stopped and asked him if he gave personal lessons and he does! So I should start my private lessons in a week or so, I am so excited, maybe I can get better by the time I finish the year, now if I could only find someone to play with during the day that would be great.

Other than that, nothing else is going on. Tomorrow I will be volunteering at San Japan, San Antonio's Japanese Culture and Anime Convention, all in the name of OLLU let me make that clear.. lol..

that's all folks.

Rainy day

Another normal Tuesday at home only this time is raining and thundering, a nice break from this infernal heat.

I really have nothing new going on this week, just the normal "boring" day to day stuff...maybe I will cook something sweet later today.

Helping out my friend

This post is not about me or anything going on in my life, imagine that! actually I want to help out my friend Jess who is raising money for a turtle sanctuary called, El Tortugario located in Cuyutlan, Mexico. Jess spent part of her summer down there helping out and she is now raising money to help them by selling this fantastic photographs she took of the place and the animals. I am going to copy some of the information that she posted on her blog for anyone interested in helping out this wonderful place.

"El Tortugario in Cuyutlan, Mexico is where I spent a small portion of my time in this summer. In part, they provide environmental education to visitors, care for turtles, iguanas, and crocs, and protect turtle eggs from poachers. Basically, they all work their asses off to do something really important for our planet. I was really impressed with the center and am very grateful to everyone there for their kindness and hospitality.I want to raise a little dinero for the center so they can continue to do this work.My goal: $1,000.Applicable talents to accomplish this goal: throwing a parties, selling my photographs, and talking to everyone about it!"

"Right now, I have 3*5" cards available to sell. They are super cool and can be bought individually for $3.00 or in a set of 15 for $30.00 (the photos on the cards are the ones with a * after the title).Any photo can be made into a 5*7 card for $5.50. In the next few weeks I will have framed art...ranging from 4*6 to 8*10 and prints in any standard size can be ordered too!All the photo cards are packaged in environmentally friendly plastic & (of course) the packaging is decorated in ribbon!! The card sets will make great gifts for the holidays!!"

Here is the link to the photos available for sale and Jess's blog if you wish to contact her directly. I really think this is an inexpensive, easy and great way to help out and take care of our planet.
