What I have been up to...

I've been inspired by my Abuelita (my Grandma Dora Soria) She used to stitch a lot. My mom recently found a kitchen cloth that she stitched for my mom and dad when they got married. I love it and I wanted to make some of my own, so I did and I have enjoyed it very much! It is tedious, but when I get sick of it I just put it down and start it when i feel like it. I forget how fun it is to make something and actually like the finished product!

On a side note: I have started to take cake decorating classes and I absolutely love it and i am only on the second lesson, stay tunned for pictures of my cakes!

Another side note: I am taking Bikram yoga. It is kicking my butt. the women in the class have bodies to make any woman self conscious, heres hoping my body will look like theirs some day.... But love the way my body feels afterwards. 

The Inspiration:

my version, I plan on doing themed sets of 7 towels, this one is flower themed

Just what I needed....

I read this quote the other day:

We Know not all that lies ahead of us. We live in a world of uncertainty. for some,there will be great accomplishment. For others, disappointment. For some, much rejoicing and gladness, good health, and gracious living. For others, perhaps sickness and a measure of sorrow. We do not know. But one thing we do know. Like a the Polar Star in the heavens, regardless of what the future holds, there stands the Redeemer of the world, the Son of God, certain and sure as the anchor of our immortal lives. He is the rock of our salvation, our strength, our comfort, the very focus of our faith.

 President Gordon B. Hinckley, March 2008 Ensign, We Testify of Jesus Christ.

Inspirational, uplifting, touching

I felt all three of these while watching this movie:

it is streaming on Netflix...

Hello, It's been awhile

I don't  know if anyone reads this blog anymore, but I was in a blogging mood so i thought i would do a little Christmas Post, I shall Call it: My Christmas Wish List. I have to admit it has been really weird getting into the Christmas spirit of gift giving and receiving. Living out of a backpack for the last 6 months made me realize I don't NEED the things that I have once wanted before. HOWEVER, I started to look through my binder o things i "need" and I thought i would share because they make me smile. Enjoy

2 Strikes and You're OUT!!!!

So rusty and i went out to for dinner at this Greek restaurant called Aristo's , its across the street from the University of Utah. The First time we went we were completely ignored and sat at our table for 45 mins and then we left! We thought we would never go again but we have a gift certificate to there and so we went back tonight. We sit down, we are served and we start eating. So far so good, then as rusty goes to take his second bite of his food, he sees a black thing and decides to inspect it. I look over and see a black beetle looking object on his plate, and i say is that a bug?? and he says i think so, we inspect it more and lo and behold it is a small beetle! So we Quietly tell the waitress and she takes the food back. Now i understand that bugs get into food and it happens and i am not mad about that, still gross, but what they did after is what makes me LIVID! and most of you know i don't get "LIVID" that often. SO the waitress comes back and brings a plate with a burnt piece of something and says "sometimes burnt rice gets into the food" WHAT! REALLY! I think i know what a burnt piece of rice looks like I AM NOT AN IDIOT! for ONE there was no rice in our dish and TWO Why didn't she bring out the piece of "rice" that was in our food?? Explain that one!!! And THREE I know what a beetle looks like and it was a beetle NOT a piece of burnt rice GIVE ME A BREAK!!! Then they made us pay for our appetizer and then as we are leaving all of the servers and hostesses are staring at us as we leave. ARRRRRGGG!!! that made me more mad because they were wrong and they made it look like it was our fault!!! BAD SERVICE! I will never ever go back there again!! phew! I feel so much better, thanks for listening.
