Christmas List

Picture from orkutscrap4u.com  

I know this is cheeky of me but here is my Christmas List.
Number One on the list is Money for Paris :)

 Thank you in advance

Update for November

He is amazing and wonderful and I just love him so :)  Haha. 

The Parra Family

On the first weekend of October my Family (on my Mom's side) was included in the Imperial Valley Pioneer Museum in California.  My Tio, (Great Uncle) Emilio Parra and Members of the Agricultural Board formally recognized our family as being one of the founding familes of the Valley in the late 1800's.  

Update for October

There isn't really anything exciting to report over the last month. 

My Vitamin K Intake

So I thought I would post this up for anyone who is on Coumadin/ Warfarin. The Adequate Intake for Vitamin K established by the Food and Nutrition Board of the U.S. Institute of Medicine is 120 mcg for men age 19 and older and 90 mcg for women age 19 and older.  This is the amount for Women only and would need to be adjusted for men.

Update for September

 Hands down favourite moment of the Summer

Well Fall is here which I am glad and sad about.  Let's make a Pro/Con List to outline these shall we.

Yeash

This scared me...

Update for August

It may be a wee bit late but it is here never the less.
Firstly thankyou to everyone who came to my Heartiversary Party. 

We can all learn from Monkeys

A recent Article in the NZ Herald drew my eye today.  Especially this quote:

Laina Walker

Love this girl!

Beware Makeup Gurus

So in watching these Make-up Gurus and others like them I have noticed something shocking...

Makeup Primer

I have never understood what the use of makeup primer is.  Then while watching one of my guilty youtube beauty videos I heard over and over again how amazing they are and what they actually do.

Update for July

That's right people, three months down nine to go for my New Years Resolution. Man I'm good! 

Guilty Pleasures

Here is a list of things I probably should not admit to liking but I do:

Birthday Week

Birthday Week is an important tradition yet many pepole do not celebrate it.  I am flummoxed as to the reasoning behind this.  Why have one day when you can have multiple?

Latest Favourite Things

• The fact that I finally managed to hook up my Google Calendars with my Week Cal App on my Ipod Touch (Seriously the BEST Calendar App out there)
• Eating Cadbury Dairy Milk Dream Bubbly Block (Even though it's nearly gone)
• The good Summer movies coming soon:  Dark Knight Rising, The Intouchables and Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter.
• Watching the new episodes of Sherlock while snuggled up in bed with the husband
• Finishing "Bloodlines" by Richelle Mead (A guilty secret).  Looking forward to "The Golden Lily" out the day before my birthday!

Update for June

Well I promised once a month updates and here we are.  So month 1, check!  That's a 100% Success Rate :)

Surfin Portugal

P.S This is amazing!

Update for May

So in the spirit of my new resolution here is the May Update.  We have just got back from NZ which was an amazing and extremely busy trip.  Cities we visited included Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch, Rotorua, Ngatea, Hastings, Darfield, Oxford and Waihi Beach.  More family then I can name.
Great time was had by all and photo's will follow.  Shout-outs to all those who made a went out of their way for us including, but not limited to The Bradleys (who drove us back and forth to the airport multiple times) my Nana (who is still going strong at 80-something), Linda (who came all the way from America to see us) and Pip (who's continuous generosity knows no bounds).
I ate more then my fair share of NZ food including tonnes of feijoas, squiggletops, lamb and cherio sausages.  Now that we are home Steve and I are on a collective health kick to work off some of the added pounds. Steve is working at a new lab at Carleton over the summer and I start a new job next week.  Nannying for a one year old little girl who lives a 12 minute walk away from me.  It is only 3 days a week and coupled with my hours at the church for Kids Ministry will make for a nice transition back into the workforce.  
I can feel it already.  May is going to be a good month!
