As sand through the hourglass....

Hello.

So the last time I was here was back in November.

December came and went. It was a hard month. My birthday is in December and it was the first one without my Tia. Christmas came. I applied to USC for my master's.

January, I received my letter of acceptance, completed orientation and financial aid... all in one month. Work was going well... not on the top of my game.

The rain came in February...so did my ignition for work. I think my sadness finally faded. I started my first course, a framing course. Four papers in four weeks.

Now here we are in March and my work life is a joke. I went on two major business trips and the CEO has not even asked for an update. The site is running... maybe my department is doing well and floating on... or maybe we are in trouble and he is holding information back.

Am I happy at work? I am with my job. I am with the clients. I am with my peers. Where is my boss? Who is he? That is problem. I so looked forward to fresh leadership and prosperity, however we have chaos and despair.

Worn out, I went to lay down next to our cat on our bed... move over kitty!

Life, Dia de los Muertos and our yard

Beauty of whatever kind, in it's supreme development, invariably excites the sensitive soul to tears.

LAst two weeks in October

On the road... I need some Chicana time soon...

sometimes I just want to drive.

A ice chest, snacks...

drive by and pick up my husband...

and drive

rive away, drive to a place where we can reinvent ourselves
a place where all is forgotten and new
jeans and hiking boots
gloves and scarfs
my cameras and sunglasses
I want to taste the wind, capture the light and hear life sing the soft song after a cool rain on her skin.

The world around us has changed. Think of it as a mandala. My husband and I are in the middle and all around there is shifting. It's hard because we have watched the shifts and kind of just took the batten down the hatches approach. We can not change what is in a natural motion of life for others, we can only be there for them. My cousin just went off for a second round ... air force. My other cousins came down for a dinner that I did not attend. Something told me not to. An aunt celebrated a 60th... not invited. I can't bring myself to take a painting my tia did to work... I brought it home after her death. I sits on an easel over my desk here at home. I can't take it in fear of crying. Dia de los Muertos is coming up.... no friends to help decorate... all have "things" in their lives. I'm a little frustrated.

Work .... work.... it's going great. We are being used as a flagship for an expansion of the company. I have 40 people "dropping" in next week... to see little 'ol me and my crew. Amazing.

so as always... here are some pictures, because in a time of isolation, frustration or loss... my clouds.

I can't wait to be my husband's date this Friday... I'm going to cha cha it up.

Funny... a twitter came up and asked... "what do you do to relax?" I replied that I take photos and blog. Funny... because we don't watch TV... heck we don't even have cable... but the net... must have the net.

Fall

Fall is here. Well as much as fall as So Cal will allow. It 9:49 pm and it's about 79 degrees outside. How can I tell it's fall....my husband and I walked through Micheal's craft store today... I wanted to buy it all! Then we went into World Market.... sigh. I Love the fall.

Oh were oh where did the little bird go?

Here I am.

Time, my time.

It's been filled, not a bad thing. I have spent a lot of time with my husband. We just celebrated out 7th wedding anniversary and it was wonderful. I think every year I fall deeper in love with him. No life is not perfect for us and we do struggle sometimes, however we come out stronger through every obstacle put in front of us. I can not wait for our ten year. That in itself will be fabulous.

Long time no see.

Life has thrown us for a loop. Horrible stuff... initially yes, at face value. However, the trials put before us have only made us stronger as a couple. This I like. It has been a journey and on it I have been eating pity porridge and sipping sadness slushies... but no more. My life is back in my hand... because the other hand is tightly holding onto the the hand of the love of my life. My eyes are open again to the beauty of life and I would like to share my life, my story with you again.

I met up with my girlfriends for lunch at the CPK in Rancho Cucamonga. After lunch I went with the Ultimate Chick to Macy's where she had her make-up artist at Bobbi Brown give me a make-up make over. LOVED IT!

My husband and I went out for a date night. We had not gone out in a while and we had a great time. We ordered drinks and tapas at Cafe Sevilla and stayed talking for hours. After dinner we took a walk into downtown Riverside.

mmmmm.... shushi. Fuji Sushi is our local sushi resturant... which we adore. The owner is so helpful and very sweet. The sushi chefs are wonderful and always aim to create the best in quality and presentation.
