The Human Race Update

The Human Race (10k) was this past Sunday 8.31.08 the run started at 8.31.08pm It was a great experience! First off, let me tell you I AM SORE! I don't think my body has ever hurt this bad before and in a weird way its a great feeling because it is a reminder of what I accomplished! I am very proud of myself (& my Sis Cyn for doing it- along with her friends big shout out to Jess, David & Jennifer) I did run the whole 6.2 miles stopping only to hydrate. The time when I crossed the finish line was 1hr 17mins but that was not my official time. I will keep you posted on that as soon as I find out. I am looking forward to the race next year and I am determined to run it in under an hour! After the race Kanye West & Common preformed, great show! Here are some pics from the event I will post more as soon as my sis sends them my way.

Before the race started...

The Human Race

I signed up for The Human Race (10k- what the heck am I thinking??) I am so not a runner but it is for a great cause! Every step of the race counts toward 3 charities WWF, Lance Armstrong Foundation & The UN Refugee Foundation. The awesome thing about this race is that it is a woldwide 10k with 25 cities around the world participating! I'm excited about it and at the same time a little nervous. I have been (trying to) training as much as I can and I know this will be a challenge for me. My sister will be joining me as well as some of her friends so I know regardless we will have a good time. I am planning on running as much as possible with minimum walking, I just hope I'm not one of the last to cross the finish line.

After the run, Kanye West will be preforming for the runners! I am looking forward to that! Wish me luck!

P.S. I'm already thinking of signing up for the 5K in town this November. Perhaps this will be a new hobby of mine!

Crafty Chica

If you don't know The Crafty Chica - Kathy Cano Murillo then its about time you did! Kathy is amazing! She is a crafter, writer and she now has a product line at Micheals! I had the pleasure of meeting Kathy at the "Spread the Sparkle Tour" last week at the Micheals in Glendale. Her products are just what we needed! Full of color & glitter. Kathy is a sweetheart and super talented. I can't wait until the next time.

Fairy Jar Class

My first class was this past Sunday and we had a great time! Maya (my first student) created the cutest Fairy jar and she inspired me! She was not scared of embellishments and created the most beautiful and magical little home for her fairy.

Isn't it great? Maya had a great time taking this class and I'm glad she was able to make it because she can now tell you how much fun it is! Below is my lastest creation - the fairy jar I did in class:
What do you think? I ♥ it! I think its my favorite one yet.

Lost in the Depths of the Ocean

Is it weird to say that I had a great weekend when some not so good things happend? First I get stung by a bee at Jesse's baseball game on Saturday, it hurt. Good thing I'm not allergic.
Derek and I spent Sunday at the Redondo Beach Pier It was a beautiful day and I love it there. Reminds me of a happy childhood... lots of happy memories. After a long fun filled day Derek was about to take my picture overlooking the beautiful scenery from the pier when my digital camera some how falls out of my hand, I see it land on the pier and I freeze, thinking that it will come to a dead stop and I will pick it right up. I see it all my head I it played out and it was fine but I didn't count on my camera bouncing off the stupid wood planks off the pier into the obscurity of the water. I didn't know what the hell to do! Did that just seriously happen?? Impossible! But it did and I was sad. I fell bad for having to leave it behind. I kept wishing that the people fishing around the pier would some how hook it and bring it up to me but that didn't happen. My camera was a xmas gift from my sister. This sucks.
Needless to say I don't have any pics to share with you. I got some great ones too of Derek and I eating oysters from the shell and having a nice cold beer but these pictures are now only metal. Shit happens right??

Its Been a Minute...

Hey peeps I haven't had a chance to write life has been super busy! Derek and I are finally moved in to our new place!! Its so cute and we're super happy.

Monday night I went to the American Idol concert Tour with my good friend Ashley (Thanks Erin!) and we had a blast! To be honest I thought it might be a bit cheesey Ashley and I were saying how we thought it would be more of a "variety hour" type of thing but it wasn't and all the Idols were great... now I didn't follow the show so I was pleasently surprised. I didn't get any good pics, we were close but they kept moving around the stage and my pics came out blurry... although I do have this one to share with you:

Dang I look tan!

Tonight is Open House at SCCL and I can't make it. Tomorrow is my little sister's birthday (17!) and we're celebrating tonight. I hope those of you who do go have a great time!!

Much Love.
