June Post =)

Good afternoon everyone..Happy June! It’s that time again for my monthly post. πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚ I never thought I would say that. This used to be a place for me to write everyday. BUT since Twitter and all the other social media began things have changed. I own my blog though, big difference… my Twitter or Instagram can be taken down by someone else at any time. Speaking of Instagram, Buzz and I do have one. (AzianiLife) I find it nuts that Instagram is deleting porn stars just because they are “porn stars!!” Ridiculous!! I could go on and on about that, but not really worth my time. I just feel bad that it happens. We all know life is not fair.

So I took some time out yesterday and was missing one of my dogs, Josie died on June 12th, 2012. I miss her so much!! I miss all my babies … I think of them often. Neo died last July 3rd ..ugh! I can’t believe it will be a year!! I wouldn’t change a thing when it comes to my dogs…the unconditional love they give is the best thing ever! I will always have pets..I can’t imagine life without them. Speaking of pets..my dog and cat are doing good. They are BFF’s and it is so damn cute! πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚

Yesterday Buzz and I boxed for the very first time, it was pretty cool. It was harder than I expected and I am even sore today. Trying new things is GOOD!! We are keeping active…exercising, working and playing! I always say moderation is key. πŸ™‚

Our lease is up soon so we have some big decisions to make about what’s next????????? I love the fact that we are not stuck in one place. I have some different ideas of where I want to live in the next few years…but now I just have to get Buzz on board. hehe πŸ˜‰ Adventure is calling!!

We spent some time in Dana Point, Laguna Beach and Huntington Beach recently. They are such beautiful cities, we had a lot of fun exploring them. California is an amazing state!!

I am getting the camping bug …BIG TIME!!! I love the beach, but I need to get out into the mountains. It is something my mind and body crave! I have been waiting for the weather to warm up to plan a camping trip. This June gloom is real! It is so cloudy and chilly at the beach still. It doesn’t feel like June at all. I am not complaining, but a little warmth and sun would be nice. πŸ˜‰

Fathers Day is this Sunday…I hope all you wonderful dads enjoy your special day. I don’t know why we really need holidays to celebrate Fathers..Mothers…etc They should be celebrated every day! Speaking of holidays, just think this year is almost half over. Ha! πŸ˜‰ Doesn’t even seem real, does it? Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas will be here before we know it. lol πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚ Ok..slow down please.

I hope everyone that is reading this is having a great day/week/month so far! I only wish happiness for everyone! πŸ˜‰ Believe it or not..I really do. I tried to think of someone that I wanted to punch yesterday when I was boxing and I came up with absolutely nobody. That is an amazing feeling to not have anger towards anyone. I realize having resentment about someone or something is only bad for my health. Life is toooooo short.

Here are some pics I wanted to share.

Talk again next month!! πŸ˜‰

Kisses,
Rach

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

*May Post*

Good morning, I don’t have much time to write…I am off to CrossFit soon. I am getting so much stronger and faster. You should see me jump rope! LOL! πŸ˜‰ Yes boobs are bouncing all over the place. No matter if I wear 2 sports bras..it just doesn’t help much. Did I mention I am getting new boobs soon?? I haven’t scheduled the surgery yet, but it will be after the summer. I had my first implants back in 2009. It is absolutely crazy to think it’s been 10 years!!!! Seriously..NUTS! Time goes soooo fast. I am going to go smaller quite a bit actually…these big boobs get in my way of working out. I am in full force workout mode. I have never felt this way my entire life and I have worked out since I was in my 20’s. Buzz and I are doing yoga, spin class, crossfit, biking the beach and also walking my dog (and sometimes cat) 2 miles daily. We are on the go – go – go. It’s great though, we are both getting into better shape. 50? What? πŸ˜‰ πŸ˜‰

Hope all you awesome moms had a great Mothers Day!!!!! I talked to my mom and she won some money at the casino so she was happy. πŸ™‚ I miss her!! That is the hardest part about living in CA, I miss my family a lot. I need to plan a trip back there, but I don’t want to go in the summer when it’s so hot. They are coming to visit us in July or August to escape the AZ heat. This August it will be 2 years since we moved. Once again…wow, time flies. I am really liking the beach…I don’t want to move away from it YET! However our lease is up in August and we are looking at other beach areas. So much to explore here. It really is an amazing state. Yes it has it’s problems, but all places do. I am still counting down my days until I can move to the mountains.

Buzz and I went to a beach concert and it was so much fun. They had 3 stages set up so it was cool to listen to some old bands along with some new ones. We even ran into an old friend, it’s a small world!!

It’s been pretty cloudy most days here so we haven’t had much beach time, I did buy a new bikini so I am patiently waiting for the sun. It’s funny because when I used to shoot I seriously had probably close to 50 bikinis at one time. Silly…I know. Now I am down to 3. πŸ™‚ It will be 5 years in June that I retired from shooting. What a great 15 years!!!! YES 15! I started in June 1999 and retired in June 2014. I have so many great memories, but I don’t miss it. Things change…people change. What’s the saying. β€œChange is the only constant in life.” Most people resist change..me included. However if you don’t change, you will never grow. You will never know what “could have been.” I can tell you that I am so happy we moved to Ca. It was the best decision at that time in our lives. I am also a big believer in timing! Buzz has wanted to move to Ca for so many years and I just didn’t think the timing was right. I suppose we never will know that…but what matters now is NOW! Live in the moment and be thankful for every day. πŸ™‚

Ok…enough babbling for now. I am off to sweat! hehe! Have a great day/week/month. Talk again in June probably. πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚

Kisses,
Rach

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

April Post :)

Hey Hey everyone, I am back for my monthly post. πŸ˜‰ Crazy because I remember back in the day I used to post daily. Wow, how things change. Life changes. I still love posting and sharing my life with you all, I just do it on twitter now. Buzz and I did start an Instagram, but I still prefer Twitter. He was supposed to take over Instagram…well that hasn’t happened. Social media can be draining at times. Moderation is key! πŸ™‚

Yesterday was tax day. I of course waited until the last minute like every year. I always owe so why not keep my money a little bit longer. hehe! 2018 was the first full year in California and yes taxes are high, but they were not as bad as I thought so that was good. I do like my CPA here in CA, which is soooo important.

I have been dealing with allergies lately…ugh! Itchy eyes, plugged ears and sneezing…gotta love Spring! I have been using Flonase and that seems to helping A LOT! They are not as bad as they were in Arizona. I needed a shot once a year there.

So I have started some new things. Along with weights and beach cardio I have added yoga and crossfit both. I am enjoying them a lot! I used to do yoga many years ago so it comes a little easier to me, but this crossfit stuff kicks my ass. I did my first cycle class too. It’s always good to do things out of your comfort zone, 50 ain’t got nothing on me! hehe πŸ˜‰ I am in the best shape I have been in a really long time and it’s just going to get better. I have a way to go still. πŸ™‚

We found a dog park that is really close to our house that we been taking Mia to. She loves playing with all the dogs plus it’s great exercise. She is 8 years old, that is middle age I think. She is slowing down a bit, but we walk at least 2 miles a day with her.

Last weekend we went to the Grand Prix in Long Beach for the first time. It was a great time. I had no idea what to expect. We met with friends…it was nice to be outdoors and enjoy the gorgeous weather. It was HUGE..so much to see and do. I have been to NASCAR once and the drag races many times, Buzz’s dad used to drive dragsters so we went all the time. I have always loved fast cars!! πŸ˜‰

We have been trying to explore Ca more all the time. We found some cool trails that lead down to the ocean pretty close to where we live. It’s not hardcore hiking, but the beauty will take your breath away. If you know me…you know I always need my nature fix. I am itching to go the mountains, but going to wait until it gets warmer and plan a camping trip. I am liking the ocean more and more, but the mountains are still my favorite!!

Well that’s about all for now…enough babbling I have some work to get done. Here are some pictures I have snapped lately. Talk more soon…probably May!! πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚

Kisses,
Rach

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

My Monthly Post ;)

Hey Hey everyone! It’s March already?? Geesh!!! Seems like I only post here once a month, sorry about that. You know things change with time… our priorities change. It’s funny but things that were once SO important to me, don’t matter at all. We really do get wiser as we age!! πŸ˜‰

Did you all have a fun St Patty’s Day?? Buzz and went to the beach…it was so nice to soak up some sun and relax. The weather is finally getting nice, warm and sunny which means more beach time. YAY! πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚Β  Although I did hear more rain is coming. Yuk, I am so over rain. I could never live in Seattle. I NEED SUN!

Sooo let’s see, what have I been up to??? Seriously a lot of work lately. A couple new projects are in the works!! πŸ˜‰ Busy Busy!!

Of course we always find time for fun. πŸ™‚ Life is too short not to. We spent a few days with an old friend of 20 years. So nice to catch up andΒ reminisce…such great memories. We will be making new ones with him which is even better! It’s a nice feeling to know some of our best days haven’t happened yet.

We ventured out to Newport beach, took our bikes and spent the day cruising around. It’s a beautiful city!! πŸ™‚ I want to go to Catalina Island this summer. CA has so much to see and do, I don’t think we will plan any out of state trips for awhile.

Tomorrow I am going to the hospital to visit a friend. She has cancer. Ugh! πŸ™ I try not to say I “hate” anything, but I really do HATE cancer!! It sucks!

A friendly reminder to get out and enjoy your life to the fullest!!!!! I say it all the time…but life really is short.

Talk more soon…probably next month. hehe! πŸ˜‰

Kisses,
Rach
