Not sure why it took me over a year to post this? I guess it was time.

One day last year we decided we wanted to check out a new brewery named Tumbleroot. We happened to run into the infamous fly-fisherman of the Pecos River… Norman Maktima. After that, we made a pitstop at the Sante Fe Brewing Company.

Had fun visiting this new shop with Gail a bit back here in Santa Fe called Lion and Honey. Those bubble waffles and Hungarian mushroom soup are a must! The owner was coo and he is an amazing artist!!

Scholarly Gainz

A while back I cleaned up my desk at home and found these white papers. I printed them like four or five years ago. At that moment, I realized I had implemented and have made sum scholarly gainz.

Hens, Chicks or Aliens?

I planted this succulent bed during the summer. It only cost me about 100 dollars since the planter is recycled. I really enjoyed growing and tending to succulents for the first time. I will surely buy more. These are Hens and Chicks, but they look more like aliens as they grow lol. Missing the summer sun.

Swim, Swag and Smoke

♡ 2 pool pics and 2 pics with my Converse kicks- sugar skull, and red n black All Stars… those patent leather and metallic gold Air Jordans tho… silver metallic Nike pants… and a sequence lip tank by Guess♡

A bit back, there was a weekend spent in ABQ. My road lead up there to get some swim and swag on. The trip was seriously my only getaway this summer.

There was no benefit in starting the trip at Rudy’s. The fire was way hot in there this time. I didn’t feel well after that. I know Cormac McCarthy said “keep a little fire burning; however small, however hidden,” but the smoke from the next room was burning my eyes.

Unfortunately, it didn’t turn out to be that restful of a trip after all. I did score some sweet gym swag and that’s what matters anyhow right?

Gheeshush

At Vitamin Shoppe, we earn a point for every dollar we spend. We have regularly redeemed the benefits of that with the help of our buds there, while not asking many questions. The shop recently added a new line to the receipt showing a grand total on the points.

I guess I didn’t recall it was a point we earned for every dollar we spend? When our bud pointed out how much we have spent and we were almost to 11gz… “I was like… gheeshush! That’s a small car!”

Well… gunz don’t grow on trees, but they do grow like trees if you water them with protein! I can’t complain (see FLASH Forward- Growth). Ohhh and 11 gz+…yeah… we are more than there now.

This receipt is from the first week in May. On that round, I scored sum Syntha-6, Cold Stone Creamery– Birthday Cake Remix. Yummy new stuff!

Just Dammmmn… Watch “JLo’s- Dinero x DJ Khaled and Cardi B”

‘Laine n I

I love when my friends share old pics they find with me. Elaine has given me a few gems over the last couple years. I love her for being a lil citizen archivist.

We were in college here. My thoughts about female body image have really changed. I thought I looked sick when I first saw it and that my arm looked like a toothpick lol.

Altar to Gunz

Call it an altar devoted to the gym if you will? This is how my organizational skills unfolded when 100+ tank tops had become seriously unmanageable in my closet. My Dr. Poison gas mask makes a perfect decorative highlight as it patiently awaits a visit to 2018 ABQ Comic-Con. 

Night of the Vampires

………
I love getting special, dark deliveries during a heart popping workout. The first came a month ago with a “save the date” packet for Halloween at the Coltons. It’s always a special time with the gym budz. The packet had a magnet, blood oozing sucker and disposable fangs for a hint of the official invite to come.

A couple weeks ago, Christina hand delivered small, locked suitcases to the gym. How interesting… 3-D invites! Each was an individual invite to “Night of the Vampires” and had it’s very own key to reveal the contents. The dark and intricte lining, spills the contents of a creative mind… and a vampire slaying kit.

Christina is a gorgeous woman with seriously amazing skills. I’m so happy to have met such a creative soul who never skips a beat!

Happiness is…

She hadn’t been in for a while and I just happened to choose this poster to put up because I love It! I had no idea she played any part in it’s creation. She’s the longtime friend who introduced me to WordPress +I love her Happy Place! 😉
