*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

 

 

 

 

 

Well Hello…It’s Been A While

Good morning everyone!! How is your 2019 going so far? They go so fast…be sure to take time out of your busy lives to smell the roses. πŸ™‚ One day you will realize that the little things ….really are the BIG things. (if you already haven’t) πŸ™‚

I must say the weather here in CA has been pretty shitty! Sooooo much rain…enough is enough. Makes me miss the AZ sunshine, but it is raining there too. Buzz and I planned a bike ride yesterday, but the wind was horrible. We made that mistake one day and the wind almost blew me over. lol πŸ˜‰ I think after work today we will head out on our bikes for a ride and soak up the sun while we can. πŸ˜‰

Did you all have a nice Valentines Day? I am all for romance…but why do we need a day to do that? Kind of silly! I would much rather have flowers on a “normal” day…just because. When they are expected on a certain day it’s just not the same. I did buy Buzz a little box of chocolates…only 4 pieces. hehe! We are doing sooooo good on our healthy diet and working out, I am very proud of us!!!! πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚ I will say we are both the healthiest we have been in many years…and we still have a way to go. Buzz has been 100 percent nicotine free since March 2018. AMAZING! I never smoked, but I know it’s a hard thing to quit.

Vegas was fun this year for AVN…but it’s always fun. However I got sick AGAIN this year after the show. WTF? Seriously every year I come home sick!! I take extra vitamins and wash my hands non stop and I STILL got the flu. Ughhhhhh!

What did you all think of the Super Bowl? I of course wanted the Rams to win, but we all know how that ended up. I thought it was a very boring game. I prefer more excitement! I do like Tom Brady though, I do…I do. He is so handsome and a class act. The best team won, period.

Buzz and I spent time playing in the mountains for a few days. It’s less than a two hour drive to the snow. It is one of the many things I love about CA…waking up in the mountains and going to bed at the beach.

It was so beautiful!! We had so much fun!! I just love spending time in little towns, everyone is so nice. πŸ™‚

Oh by the way …Happy Presidents Day. πŸ™‚ I hope you all enjoy your day!!! Whatever you do…make it great! πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚

Kisses,
Rach
