This past weekend was filled with a lot of errand running however I was able to squeeze some time with my local gal pals 

 We enjoyed some White Peach Cardemon Bellini's

And here I am on the right

Sometime last week the lovely Lara form My Milk Glass Heart made a comment like:

"Holidays will be upon us before we know it" 

You know what I thought of?  This also means we have four full months away from a brand new year.   I tend to be a little goal driven here's a short list of a few things I want to accomplish by years end.

• Finish entire jewelry line for a photo shoot 
• Reorder Business Cards (goof on the last order) 
• Complete the website
• Use Facebook for Jewelry Designs by MiSA (I have a love/hate thing with Facebook)
• Organize paperwork in my office
• Tidy-up my Studio 
• Replenish my Sanity on a regular basis by doing more for me.
• Finish reading the book in my husband gave me this past Holiday season
• Buy and read “The Help” before it's available on On- Demand
• Remember to take more pictures to share with you on this BLOG
• I have a project I'm working on to print more photos to hang in our hallway at home.

With the hot August temps I haven't been able to imagine wearing Boots but I have now found the exception.  I want these boots really, really bad.

Regardless of weather you have weak ankles like I do or not I think this is very simple and beneficial for anyone who wears high heels even if only once in a while.

Thanks for visiting

This week I'm obsessed with this Hobo

the salar Milano Juno Hobo

Now that I live in the desert this is how I feel about umbrellas in the rain
"who needs them"

 A shorter post this week than the norm however this week has been extra hectic trying to squeeze in physical therapy for the shoulder, luckily it's worked and on my way to getting all that pain and tension out of the way and feeling better.

Okay this isn't a purse/handbag but I couldn't help falling for it.
 It's an all purpose bag for the gym by Luglife

There's a couple of women at the gym that have one and they absolutely love it.  It's light weight yet sturdy and there's zipper pockets everywhere.

It comes in several colors, and of course I'm all over the purple and the fuchsia.

It's August and the birthstone for this month is Peridot.

Have an awesome weekend.

Missing the Ocean

We won't be able to get to the beach this summer which makes me miss the water even more.  Here's to you oceans of the world:

Are they beautiful or what?  White gold with diamonds and onyx for the eyes. From the Animal World collection  

It's no joke that Dolphins are beautiful and intelligent creatures, I have watched them for myself swim along side boats as though escorting the boat and the people in it.

Coming a cross a pod of whales in the ocean is breathtaking because you can appreciate how beautiful they truly are, you also realize your on their turf, your not at Sea World.  

You can hear them, they're shiny and enormous they're beautiful.  They swim under your boat and come out on the other side, its truly an amazing.

They are seen frequently off of the San Juan's, swimming along to their destinations.   By law you must turn off the engine to your boat and give them the right-of-way.

I grew up on the coast, can you tell I miss the water?

Do you like the ocean/beach what do you like the most about it.

On another note, my business cards came in today, finally.

What do you think?

Getting through the Shoulder Pain

For the last several months I've been dealing with bad shoulder and neck pain so I've been rather evasive and generic with the dam pain.  After visiting the doctor telling me it was stress related and that I needed to relax and take Advil's etc. followed up with PT I'm on my way to feeling better already.

Anyway until I get some time off this is where I'll envision myself at...

• Around here you'll find a variety of Mexican Restaurants everything from small family owned restaurants to the boutique restaurants with a gourmet twist.One day the HB and I decided to try out a restaurant called  The Blue AdobeI had the prickly pair margarita yum!  Served in a tall glass with salt on the rim.   I'm not a huge fan of Tequila?  But this drink was delicious.

I had a beautiful bowl of some of the creamiest guacamole for an appetizer, it was so good I ate most of it by myself - the HB isn't a bag fan.  By the time I had my last bite I was too full to order an entree.   

This is what the HB had...

The Chorizo Stuffed Chicken

Pecan Roasted Chicken Breast stuffed with Green Chiles, Fontina Cheese and Chorizo, smothered with an Amaretto Mushroom Cream Sauce. Green Chile Potato & Sautéed Vegetables.

Keep up the good cook'in Blue Adobe

• It's so hot out who can think about Fall Shoes? I most certainly cannot but I am in love with these snake skins by Fendi
