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 →

SO inconvenienced!

Posted on November 2, 2011 by la_florecita

So I hate watching full episodes of shows on cwtv.com and here’s why. Wait. I should explain. I heard Ringer was going to be a good show to watch, not just from Brittany (aka girl who got me into Gossip … 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 →

Back on Track. Except Not. [UPDATED]

Posted on October 24, 2011 by la_florecita

At work, we say we’re “on track” when we’re working out regularly and not eating, say, queso at every meal. Around our office you’ll hear things like, “I’m getting back on track tomorrow,” or “OMG I won’t be able to … 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 →

Dave’s youngest aunt had been sick and in and out of the hospital for years. She also suffered from fairly serious epilepsy and had just been in a fragile state for quite some time. In August, she threw in the … Continue reading →

Accidental Life List Thing

Posted on September 28, 2011 by la_florecita
