Hello, 2015!

-
It feels like another year has blown by. Many wonderful things have happened and I am so appreciative for people that were right there with me, those who have played a part in them and for the long lasting memories.

I haven't really been one for resolutions but a new life will commence in 2015 and I should kick it off on a positive note and end it successfully. They say it's best to write your resolutions/goals down so here they are in no particular order:

- Continue to go international at least once a year.
--- 2/19/15 --- Update: Mexico is in the works for late March.
--- 12/21/15 --- Update: Mexico did happen in late March. 

- Continue to hike once a month.
--- 2/19/15 --- Update: January - done! February - Angel Island!
--- 12/21/15 --- Update: Lake Chabot, Oakland hills twice (May & Nov), the Bay Bridge Trail (Oct), the Presidio (Dec)... Have some making up to do.

- Lower my BMI and maintain and maintain it by exercising and being more cautious of what I put in my body.
--- 2/19/15 --- Update: #200KTransform 12-week challenge in process. Lowered BMI!
--- 12/21/15 --- In the middle of #30DaysofFit. Haven't weighed in in a few weeks.

- Run my first 5K race.
--- 12/21/15 --- Update: haven't ran in a race but last 5K I did was on Halloween with bunny ears and a bunny tail around Hayward. Signed up for the Hot Chocolate run with friends on 1/10/16. I should probably run before then.


- Maintain positive relationships, end those that hold me down.
--- Distanced myself from one in particular.
--- 12/21/15 --- Update: so far so good. #ByeFelicia

- Continue to try to be a better manager.
--- 12/21/15 --- Update: I really do love my staff. My favorite comments I hear is that my staff loves their job, that they would rather work with me, that it's me they are referring to when they say 'I need the bossiest of the bosses," and "I will always come back to work for you." I may not have all the answers but I am doing my best.

- Excel at DW.
--- 12/21/15 --- Update: Since transferring over to Events in October, Christina and I have kicked ass. Kudos from our clients have been incredible.

- Less possessions, more experiences.
--- A few items are listed on Close5. Take them away!
--- 12/21/15 --- Update: Trying to sell my motorcycle. Need to get rid of more.

I'm sure I'll add more. Here's to 2015! Good luck to all of you!

The Bad Girls Club & Love Games, Sarah Michaels, IS the Wellness Shot!

I became a fan of the Bad Girls Club when a Season 3 marathon was airing (in 2008, is it?) and I just had the television on while I was doing chores around the house. Every now and then I’d hear “*BEEP* you, you *BEEP*ing *BEEP*!”, some screaming and “This is the Amber Show” do-do-do-do-do-Doo! Eventually I was glued to the screen and not doing chores anymore and spent most of the day laughing and thinking “ohnoshedidn’t!” They were NUTS! I don’t think I could live my life with a camera following me around and for the whole world to see and criticize. But I kept on watching and when fights broke out, my boyfriend would hear the screaming from another room and ask “WHAT are you watching?!?” I am not one for reality television. MTV had it with The Real World with Pedro, Puck, Pam and whoever… when it was in San Francisco. (GO GIANTS!) With all these Big Brother, The Bachelorette and other shows popping up, there were just too many to pick and choose from to watch. And I was never a

My Most Engaging Post Yet

Christmas is just days away. A storm in the Bay Area has passed. Two holiday parties were a success. But these past 18 hours have been a whirlwind for sure. Yesterday evening, after dinner, in our home office discussing the home we are in process of purchasing, holding a gray box from The Shane Company , my boyfriend (wearing a black long sleeved shirt and his Adidas pants with white paint stains from painting the condo earlier this year, and I in jeans, my Toby Keith blue tank top from his Las Vegas “ I Love This Bar ” restaurant, my blue SFSU zipper up sweatshirt, and my brown childhood blanket draped over my lap) got down on one knee and asked me to marry him. “Yeah.” I hugged him tight and kissed him repeatedly. He was shaking and said “I can’t believe you said ‘yes.” I couldn’t stop smiling and crying and saying “I love you.” And I couldn’t help but laugh when I called him my fiancé for the first time. Wow, we’re really engaged! Since we were in the process of negotiati

It's Gonna Be May

I'm sure you've seen it. If you have a friend named May, the *Nsync memes are overtaking your Facebook and Instagram feed, right? Tomorrow ends the month of April and I was 10 posts behind the daily blog post challenge. For this Monday Motivation post, I will keep going until I reach that 30 count. Better late than never! May is turning out to be a busy month. Not surprising for this One Busy Bee. I finally have a set schedule for my part time job as a Concierge at the Argonaut Hotel at Fisherman's Wharf. I really do like the job, what I'm doing, the hotel and staff, and how the time spent here contributes to my experience in the travel and tourism industry, all the while continuing in the hospitality industry as well. Working only about 30 hours a week, it will finally allow me to schedule workouts, get in some sort of sleeping pattern and work on my business as a Travel Agent . There is so much to do! So far since I received the month's work schedule
