The Count Down is Killing Me

So it has been a little over five months since I tore my hamstring. Only two weeks since I got a accurate diagnosis sadly and it still has a little tear in it so I was told to stay down another month. I am hoping with all my heart that i really only have about three more weeks before I can finally get back to my life. But the lying around doing nothing thing is starting to take it toll. Though I still am in some pain feeling a bit better makes me seriously want to just go out and do anything. So it has been pain staking and driving me insane this past week. I'm not one who gets bored easily I am pretty self amused that being said I am usually a very hyper active person. I have a couple books to read so that is something but I am starting to go a bit stir crazy. Not to mention this whole being alone all day thing has also taken it's toll. I never realized how much of a people person I am up until now. I actually even miss working being as I kind of feel a bit useless though I more just feel helpless more than anything and that drives me honestly more insane that anything else. But at least I do live somewhere beautiful and I just really hope I am out of this bed in a month. So hopefully I can hang in there. I cannot wait to get back in the water. I also hope I can make it to the last convention.

We are a single note

A single note and you can be sent to another place.
A word spoken just right can make or ruin your day.
The art that speaks through nature can make the world stand still.
Our dreams when we sleep make us really live life.
Each of is fragile and yet so strong.
A single heart break sticks with you for all your days.
We grow from every moment every breath we take.
We learn from all our experiences both good and bad.
Our personality is molded by each and every moment.
Each of us is like a single note beautiful in it's own may.
Like a beautiful piece of art on display
Make music, live life, and be beautiful in your own special way.

I got flowers from there gardens aren't they great?

One thing I love about California is the idea that someone can pick you some flowers and bring them to you when you are down and out. The one to the left are from Bonnie who is in my Kingdom hall, telling me to feel better with a handmade card. Super cute and sweet. The other set is actually from a women that Casey tinted a car for. He had reschedule due to having to take me to a specialist for my torn hamstring. So I thought it was so sweet that she brought those over to the shop he works at to give to me.

On my feet soon!! So I need to get back in shape.

So I have one more month hopefully till I'm on my feet. If not full recovery I should be very close so I of course am super excited. This month I still need to stay down and take it easy. And next month still not going to be up to full speed I'm sure but I'm trying to think of what I can do this month for a jump start back to my old body with out being able to move much. Since I was fifteen years old I've been working out everyday, I literally could count the days on my hand that I didn't work out. I've always tried to eat right so this has been pure torture for me sitting around with a torn hamstring.
I've gained five pounds I suppose it could be worse but it's really annoying to me. Not to mention I'm getting soft. So I'm trying to figure out a diet for this month that is for someone who can't work out. Being as before the accident my activity's were skateboarding, snowboarding, or surfing. I went for 4 to 5 mile walks with my hubby everyday and would do strengthening exercises with stretches for around ten to fifteen minutes every morning before work.
My diet though healthy was different from what I need to have now. So if you have any suggestion let me know. So far I've started with either having shredded wheat for breakfast or a homemade smoothie which every I am in the mood for, the smoothie is made from non-fat plain yogurt, frozen fruit, a teaspoon of honey and a quarter cup of juice. So I think my breakfast is good it is around 250 cals but I need to think of clever light lunches besides salads and dinners. All ideas have to be vegetarian.

Thanks you guys rock

Peace love surf,

A new totally awesome all girl surfboard and clothing shop!!

Being a surfer girl I am always looking for the latest and greatest new thing when it comes to surfing. So when I run into something I love I can't help but write about it. So here is the link below if you are a surfer girl go check it out!!!
http://www.chicksticksbylola.com/collections/surf-boards
The reason for me being so excited, if you are not familiar with the surfer world it is still in a way few ways a male predominant sport. So us girls are finally stepping it up and saying we are just as good if not better than the boys. We have girls like Malia Manuel who still being quite young is taking surfing to a whole new level. Or girls like Holly Beck and Lisa Anderson who are just a couple of the girls who paved the way for competitive women's surfing. We have Beth Hamilton who brings the heart and grace to the surfer world and inspires all of us to thrive to do are best. Not letting anything get in her way. We are getting more and more amazing women that truly inspire us. Each and every year I can't be more stoked about our ladies out there.
So I am so stoked to be able to buy a women's specific surf board, shaped and made for my body type. I've seen long boards out there but never women short boards. These boards aren't just cute but they are top quality material so you can really shred. I just got the Vixen and I couldn't be happier with it. If you cannot tell by this little blog I am in love. Also if you have Facebook go like and check out her facebook page. http://www.facebook.com/ChickSticks

Movies and Apartments

So me and my husband were watching this movie and we couldn't help but notice that there apartments are always awesome. This isn't the first time that I have noticed that it is the first time I felt inclined to write about it. I love it, because it always starts of with them saying (sorry it's a dump but it is all I can afford) I live in what is one of the cheapest places I have could fine and I'm not complaining because I live in a amazing town. How ever it isn't anything to be envied. It is so small I have to get creative to put my undies away no exaggeration. But these people who make minimum wage or sometimes jobless live in these huge lofts in down town New York. They can afford furniture that is right out of a designer furniture place. It took me a year to justify buying a duvet cover and a cheap chair from Ross. When you are poor you learn to sow and get super creative with every home furnishing you can think of. So I don't know if anyone else has noticed this. If you have tell me what movie you saw and what kind of place they lived at. This could be fun.


thanks for reading your kookie surfer girl

Just A Tuesday afternoon

So this Tuesday morning I wasn't feeling particularly motivated to do anything but I went a head and decided I should go about doing stuff even though I didn't want to. So I got the first step of many to get my Aesthetician license in California. I am going to be getting more money orders and Cashiers checks to do this than I have ever bought in my life. But at least the first of at least three steps is done. It takes about a month for the first step then I have no idea after that haha. Who to say if I will be able to do anything with my license at least for a while but hopefully.

I can't wait till my leg is better the surf looks amazing today I think I am after cleaning house going to walk down and watch the other surfers with envy. So I figure since I have to sit here like a little old lady icing my leg I might as well write something.

So I am about half way done with my new organization ideas for my studio apartment it won't look to much different but things hopefully will fit in here a little better.

I bought some really cute material to try to make another skirt it is a bit see through though so I need to figure out what I want to do abut finding a material to put a slip under it. Will see if I can actually figure out how to sow.

As far as my writing of my book I've been off since I've moved here. I have all these ideas so hopefully I will find the motivation now that I have a little bit of time. I bought a grammar rule book and this other crazy book so far I'm not quite sure if it has helped me or stumped me haha. But will see. One thing they said that is a good thing to do is to write about yourself. It helps you to figure out how to describe things. Well I hate talking about myself let alone writing about myself. But here I am writing away.

I'm also though a bit hesitant being as I have no idea what my schedule is going to be, I am going to sign up to auxiliary pioneer for the month of April. It is only thirty hours so I should be able to make it.

So the day is only half over so I guess I should probable get to work. Thanks for checking out my blog hopefully there will actually be some more exciting stuff to write about soon enough.

My first week as a surf bum I mean house wife

So a little over a week ago I finally had enough with all the harassment and quit my job. It was at first a bit depressing, then of course a little stressful thinking of how I will now for at least a little while not be making any money. But now I'm at that stage of I can finally get some actual house work done that I've needed to get too for months. I just wish my leg was up to surfing everyday. I injured it a few weeks back and though it's getting better I have to take it on the easy side for a bit.

Current events that have happened have been rather insane. There was a Tsunami that hit Japan last Friday the 12th of March. It is devastating, we got a little bit of what was left over here in Santa Cruz which hit the Harbor. Not even a comparison though. That is the sad news

I guess that is all that is on my mind at this late hour. So with that I bid you a goodnight and till next time.
