April 2020 = Crazy Time

Who would have thought 2020 would be like it is today? So much has changed since my last post. 🙁 Such a crazy time…very uncertain for sure! I hope everyone is staying safe and trying to stay positive. I know it can be hard at times, but we need to keep an active body and brain at this time. I know everyone’s situation is different throughout the world and I am sending you all extra love and hugs! We will get through this, HANG IN THERE!!! 🙂 🙂 🙂

If you ever need to talk to someone…I am a great listener!! Hit me up on social media or email me. (rachel@rachelaziani.com)

I have worked at home since 2000 so actually staying home is not a new thing to me. I have become more of a homebody over time. However, I am ready to socialize BIG TIME! Thank God I have Buzz and my fur babies!!! We have been taking Mia on her daily walks, the weather has really been nice. It’s starting to heat up though so we are going to have to change our routine with her. She LOVES her walks and hopefully she will love to swim this summer. Buzz and I have been exercising daily as well. We made one of our garages into a workout area. We have been doing CrossFit for over a year now … love it! I am trying to eat healthy as well, but it’s hard!!! I am trying to find new things to do…cooking being one of them.

Buzz and I have been taking the Jeep out a lot and doing some exploring. We met some new Jeep peeps and YES we are social distancing. It’s just nice to get out in nature and forget about what’s happening …even for awhile. The desert is blooming and looks just gorgeous…as you will see from my pics. 🙂

Luckily we live by some really pretty parks and trails…they are still open as long as you are social distancing. I heard some cities/states/countries are starting to open…time will tell what happens next. ???

I hope you all stay safe!!!!!!! Talk to you all next month, hoping for a very different post!

Kisses,
Rach

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Hello March!!!! :))

March 9, 2020 cat, Doggies, Hanging with friends, Misc photos, Scrapbook No Comments

Good afternoon!! Happy March everyone, geesh these months fly by! I can’t believe St Patrick’s Day is next week already! I am thinking of going out this year for some fun! There is always something fun to do in Vegas. 🙂

So what do you all think of the Coronavirus? We went grocery shopping yesterday and they were out of water, paper towels, toilet paper and I am sure much much more. Those are just the things I needed to buy. A lot of the shelves were empty as well, mainly canned goods. I know it’s a real fear, but I do believe people are overreacting IMO. And I don’t mean the people that really need masks because they have health issues. I get that! I don’t know what to think, I do believe it’s always a smart thing to have extra food and water. You never know when you might need that!! Buzz and I went through a prepping stage many many years ago…so I get it. I will be smart, but I will not panic!

I have been getting out in the Nevada desert to enjoy nature!! I need that in my life! Been hiking a few times at Red Rock…it’s so gorgeous there. It feels like a small Sedona. (Arizona) Buzz and I went on a bike ride the other weekend. It was great, the bike path is either 34 or 38 miles. We took a stop in Boulder City which is such a cute little town. They have some really nice parks, restaurants, hotels and bars. It went by Lake Mead and through the desert. GORGEOUS! I know a lot of people don’t see the beauty in the desert, but I truly do…maybe it’s because I am a Scorpio! hehe! Even though I am pretty sure Scorpio is a water sign. ha! Hey I lived by the ocean for a year and it was great..don’t get me wrong, but the water doesn’t give me the same feeling.

I can’t wait to do some exploring this summer…get out of the Vegas heat and enjoy some fresh mountain air. We are planning a trip to Lake Tahoe and I am on the search for my cabin down the road. 🙂 If you know me, this has been something I have wanted for many many years. Life in the mountains is my ultimate goal!!! BUT what mountains?? Hmmm

So I have been kicking ass in the gym, I LOVE CrossFit ..it literally has changed my life. Buzz’s too… he has been my workout partner for over 20 years, but this is so different than lifting weights. I still do that sometimes, but not like I did before…and I look and feel better than I have …maybe ever! :))) Still doing Yoga too…keeping active is key!

We sponsored our 2nd bowling night and once again it was a blast! It’s so nice to socialize here in Vegas with old and new friends. We have been living here now for 5 months! I really didn’t know what to expect because most of my time in Vegas was spent on the Strip. Life here is nothing like that. It’s actually very small town feeling…but with so much entertainment and nature in every direction. Pretty much the best of both worlds! Anything you might want to do is available 24 hours a day. I am an early bird so I don’t care too much about that stuff. I am very happy about our decision to leave CA. I don’t have any regrets living there though…it was a much needed stepping stone to leave Arizona. I needed to leave Arizona to grow. I do love AZ…always will!!

We have some new projects coming soon, they always take longer than you think. Having patience is soooo important! 🙂 I will fill you all in as soon as I can!

Hope life is treating you all well! Just remember life is up and down…you are in charge of your own happiness. Nobody or nothing can make YOU happy. It’s an inside job! 😉

Sending an early cheers for St Patrick’s Day! Be sure to follow me on Twitter and Instagram

Talk again in April! Kisses,
