Up to my eyeballs~

I am still here, I didn't abandon you all, I am just making my last hard push to finish up everything before I leave next week. I have been out opening bank accounts, working on Immigration papers, which are now done, approved and in my possession. I went to my wholesaler today (also my friend who I will be traveling with) and got some BLACK pearls.....they are oh so yummy!!!! So I am on my 10 minute break between bracelets and just thought I would say Hi!~ What are you all up to this week?

Turdtastic!

So Danny and I went to Galerias Mall just to buy him a new Blackberry, oh yeah he got new sunglasses too!

Dannys 4 year old Blackberry was Turdtastic and well, we are all glad he got a new one. We ended up having a 2 hour sushi lunch, then went back to TelHELL because the phone wasn't receiving emails............After another 45 minutes in TelHELL we got emails rolling in! Then well we went shopping.........I got these AWESOME running pants at 70% off~~! Oh yeah baby love me some MARTI!

Danny also talked me into a beautiful chiffon purple dress from (sfera) for Polo and Maru's upcoming wedding in Toluca. I had a great dress from Banana Republic, but when I told Danny it was cotton, he almost fell down and said in a Jewish accent "Oh HONEY, cotton reeks of poverty, you must by the purple chiffon dress" So I did!

We decided since we had been at the mall for like 26 hours that we should just go ahead and stay for a movie too................. Midnight in Paris...........wait for Netfilx~

What did you all do today?

Personal Trainer

So I jumped on the personal trainer bandwagon...........Now I am addicted! I love love love working out with a trainer! I love having someone there to push me to my limits! Tito at The Fit Club has whipped me into shape! We have 3 more sessions before I leave on my trip and he is going to give me workouts to do on the road! Here's to staying in shape while traveling!!! Thanks Tito!

Last Day

Today was my last day on floor for the Real Estate office. I was the only one in the office and it was very uneventful.................So now balls to the wall, 100% here we go for the big 10 day push to turn out inventory!

On another note today is independence day in Mexico! Well the day before, tonight at 12:00 sharp we will celebrate and continue celebrating into the night and tomorrow!!

VIVA MEXICO~

In the early hours of September 16th, 1810, Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla, a priest in the small town of Dolores, Guanajuato, rang the church bell to gather the townspeople. He called for the people of Mexico to rise up against the Spanish Crown, thus initiating Mexico's War of Independence. The country did not achieve independence until 1821, but it is this event, known as the Grito de Dolores which is commemorated every year in town squares across Mexico. The largest Independence Day celebration takes place in Mexico City's Zocalo, which is decorated from the beginning of September with red, white and green lights and Mexican flags. On the 15th, at 11 pm the President of the Republic goes out onto the central balcony of the National Palace (Palacio Nacional), rings the bell (the same bell Hidalgo rang in 1810, brought to Mexico City in 1886) and cries to the people gathered in the square below, who enthusiastically respond "¡Viva!"

The words of the Grito may vary, but they go something like this:

¡Vivan los heroes que nos dieron patria! ¡Viva!
¡Viva Hidalgo! ¡Viva!
¡Viva Morelos! ¡Viva!
¡Viva Josefa Ortiz de Dominguez! ¡Viva!
¡Viva Allende! ¡Viva!
¡Vivan Aldama y Matamoros! ¡Viva!
¡Viva nuestra independencia! ¡Viva!
¡Viva Mexico! ¡Viva!
¡Viva Mexico! ¡Viva!
¡Viva Mexico! ¡Viva!

IT'S OFFICIAL!

ROCK AND ROLL.........It's offical, my FM3 work VISA was approved today, I am now an independent business owner in Mexico!! I was a little worried they would ask for more paperwork but I think becuase I have had my work VISA for so long, they approved me no problem! So one more thing checked off the LONG list of things to get done before I leave for Cancun and Playa Del Carmen in 10 days!!!

Yeah I am excited too!!!!

Overwhelmed...........

Today I simply feel overwhelmed. I can't really explain it all but I guess it's just part of the territory that comes with owning your own business. I have so many things to do that I don't even know where to start...........So I'll start with a blog. I can say that I have one of the best employees ever! Delphi is sharp. I have shown her how to do most of the work involved in making my jewelry and she picks it up quick the first time! She has even come up with some better ways to do things! She has a great creative eye and puts love into her work! I couldn't have made this leap without her! I am also very pleased that I can keep someone employed...........That is a good feeling!

I have 1 more day in the office.............YIPEEEEEEEEE
Can you tell I am excited to be done? I just found out that another one of my clients went behind my back again to do a deal............just more reason I am so glad to be done!!!

I am continuing to be addicted to Pintersest.............I just can't get enough. To whoever created it THANK YOU!

Ok enough be overwhelmed, I need to get to work now, I can hear the bon bon spoons calling my name, there are a lot and they need to be finished!!
