Big Bear Fun :)

Good morning everyone! I can’t believe we are on month 5 of 2018…almost half way there! Wow! Do you ever wish you could freeze time? I do! It goes so fast…too fast!! We just got back from a road trip with my doggie. 🙂 He had so much fun…you would never know he is sick. We all had a great time in the mountains…the fresh air, cooler temps and an overall feeling of peace. I started feeling stressed the minute we got back in the city with all these people and traffic. YUK! I need my mountain home/cabin sooner than I thought. I am getting anxious! I am already trying to plan our next camping trip. I think we will take my dog to the beach and camp out, I think he would like that. 🙂 It’s all about him right now.

I honestly haven’t had a lot going on… just my “normal” stuff. Buzz and I did go to a friends art show a few weeks ago…that was pretty cool. 😉

I talked to my mom the other day and she told me how AZ is heating up in the 100’s. Yes it’s that time of the year that I will not miss. hehe! No seriously…I would say July, Aug and Sept are pretty miserable, but the rest of the year is pretty awesome. The weather here is great! It goes from the 80’s to 70’s to 60’s. It’s not as consistent as AZ. I only have to turn on my a/c for a few hours in the afternoon. I won’t miss those huge electric bills. lol! However everything in CA is so expensive, it’s crazzzzzy!

Buzz and the guys been shooting lots of new and interesting content lately…it’s all for Aziani.com Be sure to check it out!! 😉 Two days last week they shot a bunch of girl/girl content which I know the members will love. I went to the shoot one day…it was nice hanging out with the models. 😉 It brought back a lot of memories when Buzz and I would travel to CA to shoot. Fun times for sure!

I am off now, since I took a few days off I have some things to catch up on. I will write more soon. Here are some pics I wanted to share!! 🙂 🙂 🙂

Kisses,
Rach

Here we go again…. Ugh

neo

Hey everyone….happy Friday!! I hope you all enjoy your weekend! I have been a little out of it lately, we found out one of my dogs has lymphoma. Ugh! Here we go again, Josie died from it at the exact same age. Seriously sucks!!! 🙁 Everyone is telling me how he has had a great 12 years of life and I know that, but that doesn’t make it any easier. They just don’t live long enough. It does help talking about it though, I am not one to bottle up my feelings. So thanks for listening to me talk about this. It’s really hard…my pets are my babies. Losing one of them is like losing family to me. With this type of thing we just go day by day. I will make sure to keep him happy and in no pain. When he is in pain, I am in pain. I won’t have that. Send prayers and positive thoughts our way please! 🙂 🙂

I don’t want to be a total downer today so let’s move on to other things. I will say that I have been getting out more and enjoying what CA has to offer. We found some new trails right by our house which is awesome. The views are amazing!! You can see downtown LA on one side and I think Santa Monica on the other, not really sure what city it is ..but it’s the beautiful ocean. I will have to take my binoculars next hike. It’s so different hiking here than in AZ. It is gorgeous, but I think the AZ desert is gorgeous too. I know some people can’t see beauty in the desert…but it is alive and amazing as well. I know the cactus look mean and usually are..lol, but just something about the desert that I love. Maybe it’s because I am a Scorpio. hehe! The green rolling hills and mountains here in CA are so pretty too. I guess I just love nature in general. Beauty is all around us…you just have to stop and appreciate it. Life is too damn short!

I have been going to the gym regularly again…woohoo! It really does make me feel better overall and gives me more energy. Hey I will be 50 in November…honestly it seems unreal. Where does the time go???

I have been working a lot and playing a bit too. Met friends for a nice dinner one night and also met up with a group of friends for drinks at a super cool restaurant in Calabasas. It’s so nice sitting outside and listening to live music, my kind of music. 🙂 Fun times!

No trips or vacations planned anytime soon, I need to take care of my baby boy. He comes first!! 🙂

I am off now …I have a busy Friday. Have a fabulous weekend everyone!

Kisses,
Rach

Where does the time go?????

Good morning!! I am FINALLY getting around to my blog. I am soooooo bad. 🙁 I guess things change and priorities shift in our lives. Nothing really ever stays the same. I am keeping busy so that is only excuse I have for not posting more. I do try to keep up on twitter as much as I can. That is the only social media I have, btw. I do not have Facebook, Instagram, SnapChat…blah blah blah. So many …it’s crazy. I don’t know how people have time to post to them all. Must be nice to have all that extra time. Haha! 😉

I can’t believe it’s April!! It has been raining a lot in Ca, which I like. It’s a good change from Arizona. I have my office window open right now loving the cool breeze. I can’t say California has grown on me yet, but I am working on it. I did tour a winery recently and that was fun!! Lots of wine tasting and enjoying the beautiful scenery. 🙂 🙂 🙂

I have started getting into my “normal” routine lately and that feels nice. Mediation, exercise and eating healthier has made me feel awesome! Things haven’t been quite normal since the move until recently. Yay! 😉 Moving is just hard… especially to another state.

I hope you are all getting your taxes done, the clock is ticking. I have mine done, but I always wait until the last minute to pay them. I like to hold on to my money for as long as I can. hehe! 😉

I actually ventured out yesterday and went shopping. Omg, I just don’t like to shop anymore. I NEVER thought I would say that. See things do change. Amazon is my friend …and a few stores online. It’s just so much easier!! No traffic or crowds!! Goodies delivered to my door, it’s like Christmas every day. hehe! Well not every day, but a lot!

Everything is starting to bloom, I love this time of the year. In Arizona I had allergies that would be kicking in by now, luckily nothing yet. I am hoping I won’t have allergies here. 🙂 Summer will be here soon…I am ready to have some pool parties and cook outs.

Of course we will be moving again once our lease is up. Oh joy! It won’t be anything like the last move obviously, but still moving just sucks. I will say that not owning a house is a nice stress release. We have been homeowners since 1999 and don’t get me wrong, having a home is nice, but I love the fact that Buzz and I can move anywhere anytime we want without the burden of selling a house. I have no clue when or where we will settle down next. We talk about a lot of different places, it just depends on business. Of course I am still waiting for my cabin in the mountains. Buzz is waiting for his beach house in Mexico. Ha, seems like we are on different pages. LOL 😉

I am off now…lots to do! I hope you all have a great day! I will write more soon…here are some pics that I wanted to share.

Kisses,
Rach

March already??

Good morning!! I can’t believe I haven’t posted since the beginning of February!! Wtf? Seriously time flies, where do the days go…the weeks…the months? Yikes! What can I say except I am keeping busy and enjoying life….moderation is key! 😉 I really find as time goes…a simple life is a happy life. (but hey that’s just me) The weather has been up and down in Ca…a few days of rain and clouds which was nice.  After 2 days of rain I can’t take it anymore though. I NEED SUN!! It is beautiful today…but supposed to rain again this weekend.  Buzz and I have been exploring a bit and after spending some time in Hollywood I can tell you I am not a fan! I am starting to find areas I like and also don’t like. I guess that is with every place you live though. There are days I really miss Arizona, but after living there 20 plus years that is expected. 🙂 It’s only a 6 hour drive..an hour flight. 🙂 It’s just an adjustment moving to such a completely different state! I am enjoying every day as it comes…life is such a fun journey…never know what is next.

We went hiking the other day and it was AMAZING! The views were incredible, you can see downtown LA, snow in the mountains and the ocean all at the same time. Now that is cool! 🙂 🙂 So many people were hiking with their dogs which I also loved. It’s so cute watching them all run around …and they didn’t have to be on a leash. Ca is super dog friendly!!

I am finally 100 percent healthy again..after that horrible flu that seemed to last forever. Getting back into the gym and back to my normal routine feels great! 🙂 🙂 🙂

Sorry about not posting here as much as I used to…someone mentioned it to me the other day so I will try and do better!! As always here are some photos that I wanted to share. Of course dogs, cat and nature photos! Things that make me a very happy girl. Have a wonderful weekend ahead, be back soon!

Kisses,
Rach
