Things I Want Tuesday #2

Another round of Things I Want Tuesday....

These boots are to die for! 

A bit more practical for SoCal: Rain boots

L.L. Bean Signature Merino Wool Leggings

As much as I love boots, I live in sunny Southern California, which means that most of the year its gorgeous and I can get away with wearing sandals. Boots for me are wishful and lustful thinking. However, rain boots...now those I can get! These merino wool leggings look comfy and warm and hopefully not too warm for SoCal winters.

Weekend Roundup

Weekend round up

Friday night: Spent quality time with El Novio. Ate yummy In n Out, relaxed, finished watching Friends with Benefits, and cuddled. Perfect night in my opinion.

Saturday: Ate 5 Guys with El Novio for lunch! Delish! Trojans won! Bruins lost! :) (I mean darn it! They lost!)

Sunday: Family lunch at the San Antonio Winery. Here are a few pictures from Sunday. Then I had a yummy dinner of pizza, chicken, and spuds with El Novio. We also started watching Thor and spent more quality time together.

Papi and younger sister

Ridiculously priced wines.

It looks like I have a calavera for a head!

A catrina I want to get! Day of the Dead is coming up! My fave holiday!

According to him this giraffe belongs to him.

Eekk! Wine! and more wine!

Us working the press!

Three generations of Estradas!

Benjamin being tough and working the press alone.

Revised 'New Year's Resolutions'

You did it. I did it. Shoot, we all do it.


No. Not that.


I'm referring to the other that. You know, the one (or ones) that we make at the start of every year. Yup, new year's resolutions. I always fail at being successful in accomplishing them. So this is another attempt at revising them so I can accomplish them.


Here goes:
1. Running at least 3 times a week.
2. Stop biting my nails. (I swear this has been the toughest one for me)
3. Read more.
4. Visit more museums/explore more events across SoCal.
5. Keep organized.
6. Save more!!!! 
7. Get a full time teaching gig.


Pretty straight forward and simple, right? I'm definitely set on tackling these. Do you ever revise and revisit your new year's resolutions as the year progresses?
