Let's Hike - January 2017

-
I enjoy hiking, getting out to see the world and taking my workout outside, which I rarely do. I started this a few years ago and failed miserably last year. This year, I will pick it back up.

JANUARY
Curry Point at Mt. Diablo
Danville, California

A fun day out with Dylan, Nelson, Erika, her almost 5-year-old son, Brody, and Sandra. We met at Curry Point and it was at first windy but it was a beautiful day for a hike. The map provided on the brochure did not provide lengths of trails so the trail I initially planned for us must've been about 8 miles round trip. We ended up turning around soon after Balancing Rock and went to Southern Sweetwater Tavern for food and beer.

Reppin' Firestone Walker at Balancing Rock




I had the flight of beer of Knee Deep Simtra III, Berryessa Brewing's Whippersnapper Em, Altamont Beer Works's Shot Away IPA and Big Sky Brewing's Moose Drool BA. Knee Deep was by far the best one. I also had the TriTip Sandwich with a small salad. The rest of the food ordered by friends were just OK. I picked this BBQ spot because Nelson BBQs. Oh boy, watch out for his Yelp review!





Next: February will be in Briones Park and drinks at The Hop Grenade.

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

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
