Once again, it has been such a long time since I have been on here. This makes me a sad panda! I meant to do a post on my birthday with my 26 goals for my 26th year, but never had the opportunity to sit down and write them out. So, I am taking a tip from some other bloggers, and am going to start writing out my goals at the beginning of each month.
My goals for September 2013:
1 - Crochet as many beanies as possible to list in my Etsy shop. The sales will benefit a charity, but more on that later!
2 - Do my schoolwork. Yup, it is back to school time, and I have a couple of classes this semester. I need to remember to do my homework.
3 - Give a face lift to parts of my blog. This poor blog has been neglected the past couple of months and it is really starting to show.
4 - Start blogging more! I am probably going to start blogging about finished projects, favorite projects, people that inspire me, and other stuff. I really love sharing with you all, and have many ideas to help me start blogging more.
That is it for now, my dears. I hope that September 2013, is a great month for all of us!
We are already three days in, and it has been pretty rockin' so far! I ended August with a bang! Chris and I traveled down to the coast, and went to Brews and Bites, which is a beer fest that benefits Woods Humane Society in San Luis Obispo.
It is so much fun, and for a good cause, so it was a great way to say goodbye to August.
This has been such a beautiful week here on the Central Coast of California! We had record highs earlier this week, and now it is cooling down but it is still in the 70's which is PERFECT beach weather. Today Chris and I decided to take Jixer to Morro Bay, so we could eat a good lunch and walk around Embarcadero (the street on the water front).
He loves to watch the birds before he runs through the flock!
Here he is in front of Morro Rock. He did not care too much about the rock and mostly just wanted to get the birds and play in the water. But he did stop long enough for Chris to snap this picture.
Jixer always looks so cute during candid shots!
Christopher took this photo of Jixer and me; you can see a little piece of Morro Rock and all three smoke stacks (famous landmark in Morro Bay)
He liked watching the boats come in and out of the bay.
Here I am with my cute little boy! Enjoying the view of the ocean behind us and Morro Rock in front of us.
The two most handsome boys in the world!!! Jixer loves his daddy!
Morro Bay is definitely worth a visit! There is awesome food and great candy...especially the salt water taffy!
For me, today is a very happy Friday because I am still pumped up from the happenings of last night. I was able to check something off of my bucket list!!!
Have you made a bucket list yet? If not, you definitely should!! Not only does it help lay out your goals and ambitions, it also allows you to feel accomplished when something is marked off!! There will soon be a website that I have high hopes for to make having a bucket list even more awesome. My old friend is on the team building it, and I cannot wait until it is launched! When Grappple does launch, I will definitely let y'all know so you can, as they say at grapple, 'Not just make a bucket list, but actually accomplish one'.
So, what did I do last night? I rocked out to the one and only Paul Rodgers in concert! That is right, Paul Rodgers...the best voice in rock n' roll...my favorite singer of all time!! It was the most amazing concert, EVER! If you do not know who Paul Rodgers is, I honestly feel very sorry for you....really I do! However, if you know the bands Free, or Bad Company, then you know Paul Rodgers.
Here is a video for you viewing pleasure:
Now, back to last night...
Joan Jett and the Blackhearts opened the show and they were pretty good. I am not a huge fan of Joan Jett, which means, I only know there big hits and no other music. Of course, when "I Love Rock N' Roll" was being performed I went wild, but that was the extent of my excitement.
Once Paul Rodgers hit the stage, my tooshie never hit my seat. What made my experience even more special, is that my dad was right there rocking out next to me!
I love my daddy!! I always enjoy our father/daughter time. We had a wonderful time enjoying the show and drinking 805 (a beer by Firestone Walker Brewery that is only available in our area).
I definitely would have been a groupie if I was a teenager back in the late 70's/early 80's.
Seriously, AMAZING!!!!
The only problem with last nights concert is that it tromped every concert I had been to previously, and ever concert I will go to in the future have a lot to live up to.
Paul Rodgers...YOU ROCK!!!!
I also got a free churro from churro guy in the concert.
Nights don't get much better than Paul Rodgers, great beer, father/daughter time, and delicious churros.
