[NOTE: This contains various spoiler alerts, namely Twilight and The Hunger Games.] I haven’t told you guys but I’ve been reading some terrible crap. My brother in law gave me a DVD of like 600 epub books and I don’t … Continue reading →

Posted on January 13, 2012 by la_florecita

I’ve never wanted to go on a cruise. I’ve backpacked through Europe on my own and developed a distaste for people who travel with tour groups or had set schedules. I thought cruises were for lazy Americans who were too … Continue reading →

Appled Up

Posted on November 16, 2011 by la_florecita

Remember how a few weeks ago the iPhone 4s was announced? Well, Dave and I both upgraded. AND got the $99 buy-it-now-or-never accidental coverage because I apparently don’t believe in savings accounts. We both got white and I loved the … Continue reading →

Birthday Notes

Posted on November 15, 2011 by la_florecita

1. I realized this weekend that on my birthday, date + month + 2-digit year will always = my age. So while 11+11+11=33 is pretty fucking fantastic, it was pretty fucking fantastic last year, too when 11+11+10 equaled 32. And … Continue reading →

It’s My Party

Posted on November 10, 2011 by la_florecita

One day when I was 9 or so, my great-grandma (Nannie) called me to tell me that she’d just figured out that on 11-11-11 I would be 11×3. I thought it was cool and stuff but 2011 sounded really far … Continue reading →

Give Up.

Posted on October 31, 2011 by la_florecita

Yesterday I made a not-too-ambitious to-do list, or so I thought. It included yoga, buying a shower curtain, buying succulents/cactus since apparently this drought is going to last 10 years, planting them and going to a group meditation (my first … Continue reading →

Happy Day

Posted on October 26, 2011 by la_florecita

I should have played the lottery yesterday. Everything was coming up Jen. Remember how I threw a fit last year about my bus route changing right after I had decided to ride the bus all over town? Well, the route … Continue reading →

Sorry, no beige.

Posted on October 5, 2011 by la_florecita

I have to blog this now before I read any more super awesome tributes/articles and I decide I’m not worthy to add to the remembrance. You know how there are bumper stickers and t-shirts that say, “I’m not from Texas … Continue reading →

Missoni for Target: follow-up

Posted on October 5, 2011 by la_florecita

The day the collection came out (Tuesday, September 13th) I had a 7:30am flight to Honolulu. And the online site wasn’t supposed to go live until 8am. So I was just going to take my chances trying to order on … Continue reading →

Accidental Life List Thing

Posted on September 28, 2011 by la_florecita
