The end of this phone call to be upset and then you have to get over it. These are dads words of advice on dating. Rather true I would say;)

Also for the record...

There's nothing sexier than a guy who was a tight end, line backer or defensive tackle!!! Ahhh I melt;)

Oddly enough

The vast majority of the men at the Austin airport are all married... Especially the ones headed back to SF with me . Tragic!!

Marie and I are on the go...

When one has an an absolutely fabulous coat it is paramount that you name her. As I buy vintage my newest treasure came named for me. Her name is Marie and she is stunning!!!

Differences...

Playing slow jamz from college, my wish is that a man would play Differences by Ginuwine and feel that way about me  Especially when he says Gods blessed me.  Hell yes!!! That would be me!!

There is noooo shame in admiting that I am a sucker fish for all the sappy stuff and a hopeless romantic!  Yup, I want the fairytale:)  Sung by Ginuwine and all...

Shawnee Pawnee puddin' pie...

Seeing as though this is my baby cousins nickname it always reminds me I am from Texas and proud to admit it! No matter where you call home, there's always in your life that reminds you where you came from;)

Once upon a time...

I dated a guy who had a tattoo on his back which I thought looked like the flux compasitor and a cross between plutonium. I would call him out on this whenever he had his shirt off. I thought it was hysterical and he did not. Man I can be such an asshole sometimes!! Hahaha;)

Proof to the world that chicken shit bingo does exist!!

The world is now such a better place!

Don't mess with Texas

All that needs to be said. Pulled pork breakfast taco might be the breakfast of champs!

When seeing mass humanity....

As Coldplay says, this could be paradise. We never know what someone else's experiences are until we ask! All it takes is a wee question.

She dreamed of paradise...

Sometimes it just takes a bit of fun to know you have a slice of paradise with you always!

We can all be In the best

I learned that...

We must have gratitude for everything we have! Courtesy of Tony Robbins today. So I'm putting it into practice and appreciating what is right in front of me!

Sometimes we fall down and make big asses of ourselves

Yet we just have to face the music and dust ourselves off!!

What are the effects of going chips all in?

Stakes are always higher... Bigger the risk, bigger the reward. Also bigger the lose... Whatever is a girl to do?

Take your kicks for a run that's what!

Hearts and thoughts they fade away...

I've gotta ramble on...

Who doesn't love some Led Zeppelin? I am a huge fan... As they say they in the song, mine is a tale that can't be told. True story. You have to put it out there whatever it is!! Only you can tell your own story...

And my freedom I do hold dear!! I'm an Aquarius so this really resonates with me!!

Why is common such a hottie?

Love love love it! Makes me want to workout and get the bod tight and right;)

Having a shit show weekend is sometimes way necessary

When friends come to you in a bad way, it is time to look outside of yourself and show them the best shit show time in the world. Tattoos and ear piercing optional;)

Hot flow yoga

Sweating like an animal for 75 mins makes you feel alive!! Give it a whirl

Where do wedding dresses go to die???

I was discussing this with my friend Marcy at work yesterday... I can only imagine there is a wedding dress grave yard somewhere in the world.

Let me know what you think!!!!

Detroit airport

I must be living in the wrong place... Went for a marathon walk through the Detroit airport this am, killing to birds with one stone. Got my morning work out on and made it to my terminal.

However how is it possible that a sit down breakfast was $5.99!?!!!? Oh yeah I also saw a pancake all you can eat for $3.99. When did things become so cheap?!?!!

I am floored and oh yeah, there is sweet and low galore out here!!! Of course I have taken handfuls at every stop!!!

I loveeeee middle America !!!

Tuesday, July 3, 2012

Work it out bitches

Taking a few day blog break to go on holiday!!! Keep the 30 day work out going;)

Shake it girls, nothing wrong with shaken it while at the bus stop. If you're not who is going to?

Take a page from Kim k's mantra...

Doin' it with class cause I've got a nice ass!!!

Police man

It also never fails to amaze me that the beat cops who sit on their motorbikes on my street corner are rather friendly! Walked by the speed trap this am and mr cop was the first to say hello!

You go officer! Way to be kind to the ladies;)

Sunny 2nd of July

One can only hope that the weather holds for the 4th! If you live in SF you know that the door can swing both ways on this one. Either sunny ad stunning or cold, foggy and windy!

Work it out lady liberty and send us some sun!

What's on paper!

Fun fact we have to learn the hard way that what is on paper is not always what you are going to get...

Bocce brigade

Love how Teaming up with new pals and hitting the courts totally can help
You make new friends;)

Friday, June 29, 2012

Nothing like a bit of local theater to shake it up !

Time to go out of the comfort zone and have the time of your life! I have some of my besties to thank for that ;) all you have to do is say YES!

Thursday, June 28, 2012

Once you know what you need to do it is balls to the wall!!!

I shall be embarking on my own space odyssey once they set me free from my 9-5 life. It is amazing to know you have the power to create change!

Let the Odessy begin

Done, I am driving across the country.  Sometimes you just have to go with it and let go.  There has never been a better time than now to do what has always needed to be done.

Wednesday, June 27, 2012

You've gotta love big!

Go big or go home. Not sure if i will ever learn my lesson when it comes to boys. Can't help but go chips all in when I feel like I have met my people;)

Just when you feel a bit low...

You have a friend text you an ask you to go see a performance of the Full Monty on Thursday night!!!

Say yes girl, it's all about a life without regrets;) Being happy is right at your finger tips!!

Summer of fun

Look for the flowers that can magically pop up in your life!

Much better world!

Now we have a couple in love on the bus! That's what I'm talking about;) these two actually kiss and speak to one another!

That's what we like to see! Not to mention the amazing weather we are having! Sunshine always makes everybody happier!

If you can go play hooky go do it! Summer of fun;)

Monday, June 25, 2012

Butterflies can be a great thing

If you have them in your stomach, revel in the moment!!!

Tragedy strikes on the bus.

It is tragic to see couples on the bus in the morning who don't speak to each other and have no interaction. No touching, they just sit there like strangers.

Do they hate each other? Do they have a loveless marriage? I would hate to think that is the case. With that said, I will quote my friend Mitch's mantra.

Pretty simple, it goes like this...

Count all blessings, think good thoughts and be willing to receive!

Contrived I know, but think about that it means to you and this may allow you to see the silver lining in life.

Sunday, June 24, 2012

Falling down is sometimes all you need!

Sometimes we lose our way in life and on occasion we fall down.  Physically and metaphorically, which can both actions can carry some weight to them.  However, there is nothing better than to have someone be right by your side to pick you right back up or catch you from the fall. 

Falling can turn into kneeling, which allows you to pop back up and all is well in the world...

Dust yourself right off girls and keep on strutting down the street:)

Nobody saw and even if they did, all they did was grin!

Friday, June 22, 2012

Something in the way she moves...

And I quote James Taylor on this.  Ladies, would you not die to have someone sing this to you?

Pleaseeeeeeeee, if you say you wouldn't I am calling you a liar to your face!  Maybe I am a dirty hippie on occasion, but I am an even bigger sucker for a good acoustic song!  Not to mention a dreamy guy!

30 days or bust

Some people say you should wait to have sex with a new mate for 30 days.  Others offer you to have a 30 work out challenge.  How funny it is to have these two life themes intersect.

In the interest of the endless summer of fun, I think I shall take the plunge and do both.  One of my besties recruited me the 30 work out challenge which I accepted; in turn I know the body will be tight and right.  One always want to look good for yourself and a new fella.

Hit it girls, endless summer of fun or bust!


Coffee may be bad for me?

We all know that we are encouraged to drink 8 glasses of water on a daily basis. As of late I have failed miserably!

Oh black hot water why are you so delicious and call to all day long? You make me so happy yet rip such a hole in my stomach!

Whoa is me as I am not able end my love affair with the coffee gods of for world!

Women in the Urban Jungle.

Shoes and smiling are a frequently used currency among women in San Francisco.  As you walk around the financial district prior to the 9 o'clock hour, every woman is out and about on her way to work.  Some in tennis other in sky highs.

Watch as you walk around and see those smiling at one another with that knowing look in their eyes.

Those that dare be so bold speak up and bestow the ever coveted compliment of...

"Your shoes are amazing, I die for them!!!"

That is all that needs to be said to send both women on their merry way into the twilight of their day!  Don't hold back ladies, pipe up and pay it forward!

Love with reckless abandon...

Whatever you omit into the world somehow seems to make it's way back to you.  If there has ever been a time that you want to fall hopelessly in love, you just have to go for it and let the world now.  Live and love as though the end was tomorrow.

In honor of Pride this weekend, I can say this statement and have it cover all basis.

"Say I loud and say it Proud" when it comes to matters of the heart!

Having the courage to role the dice with your emotions in such an admiral quality.  Some play it close to the vest when it comes to love, yet I just don't know how...

Some might think it is a flaw, where as I think it is the only way to live.  Go chips all in with your heart, as that is the only way you will ever truly know!

Boot scootin'

As much as I love city life and have lived in the urban jungle for years, listening to boot scootin' boogie reminds me that I am still a girl from San Antonio Texas, who loves a good scoot and cowboy hat;)

Forever and ever amen

Randy Travis maybe right on this one.

This love that I feel for you always will be...

Hearing takes me back to my childhood when I was taught how to Texas two step around the front room;)

Let the man be the man!

Ladies, if a handsome man asks you out and has manners, let him shine and show off his manners!!!!!

When they ask you the inevitable question..

Where would you like to go to dinner? Which is ideally followed up with.

I'll make reservations.

Let the man make the ever loving reservations!!! It makes them happy and can show you that they can take care of you;)

Oy, why do girls fight this?

Tuesday, June 19, 2012

Saying good bye is rather hard to do.

Just when you think you will feel elated to say good bye to people, you don't. You have known and loved them for years and even though change is wonderful it can also be heart breaking too.

Monday, June 18, 2012

Look and learn

Please check out this picture. This is the kind of stuff that makes life worth while...

Walking down the street and seeing none other than the seltzer sisters;)

Roll the dice

Dance walking down the street has been one of the many things which has allowed me to evolve onto one of the happiest SOB's in town.

It is summer time and i am so inspired! Can't wait to fall in love and have the time of my life;). There has never been a Better time than now;)

Go on and get you some... Said in a southern twang

You just need to be listening as you go through life to pick up those wee gems that come along ever so often.

Inevitably life decides that you should go through all big life changes at once, isn't that fitting;)

Don't fight it girls, you just gotta go for
It. No doubt your life will be forever changed.

Time of my life

Had the time of my life last night. Can't remember when I laughed so hard and for so long! Best way to top off the night was with Los dogos. Whoever invented hot dogs and bacon is a god !!!

It is important to say yes the opportunities that come your way as you never know if they'll come around again!!

Being in a band.... Is totally on my bucket list!!

I'm torn between playing the tambourin which is my first pick or a close second... The harmonica!

It all boils down to which instrument would allow me to wear white leathers more often.

Leaning more towards the tambourin

Hats off to Rosy...

Today is to be the best of days for our dear Rosy.  We never thought that our Ro Ro would deviate from what we thought was her life course.  Yet she shocked us all on Team Flume when she announced she was not only engaged, but getting married.

And when I say married, I mean today at 1:30 at la Civil in San Miguel de Allende!

Ma and Pa are there wishing her well and sending her off into wedded bliss.  Their Ro Ro is all grown up!

I guess when you just know, there is no point in waiting!  I love it, l love love and am always amazed when people buy the farm and are totally in love.

Ro Ro, we love you!

xoxoxo-

La Nikki

The Foo...

Let me just say I am a sucker for the Foo and am I LOVE with Dave Grohl among other gents in my life.

None the less, as I listen to their song I Should have known the lyrics are rather haunting and always give me something new to think about when I hear the song...  Not to mention I belt it out along w/ Dave in the car as  I drive down Pine St.

As I find this is the year of change, what is sung is applicable across the board of life.

" Lay your hands in mine, heal me one last time...Though I could not forgive you yet. no I cannot forgive you yet, you leave my heart in debt"

Think about the profound power of touch and someone taking your hand.  Have you ever felt it before, where it bowls you over?  Powerful stuff, especially if this is someone who can fill the hole in your soul.

Yup, I am done in!

Bus chaperone

Gentlemen who walk their lady friends to the bus on a Friday morning are A ok in my book!

As the current trend is, "Thursday is the new Friday", never hurts to have someone to lock arms with and cruise...

One might have the edge after all;)

Golfing

4 hrs ago I learned and I quote...

"Girls become 10 times hotter when you find out they can golf."

I was discussing how it helps in business having the golf skill
set. Fancy the Intel that comes out of these discussions.

Dust off those clubs from high school girls and hit the links! You got nothing to lose by helping the golf economy stay a float..

And who knows who you'll meet at the driving range;)

Walk and talk...

Who knew that going on a walking date is one of the better ways to get to know someone??? You learn so much and have to work as a team to get somewhere.

Go team go!!!

Who leads and who follows??

There are no wrong turns as it is all part of the adventure;)
If the weather in San Francisco stays like this, that being sunny and hot... Every building would have roof top desks and private swimming clubs just like NYC.  Oh hot weather, how I love thee!  Hot weather is always motivation to keep your body tight and right!!!  Go team go!!!

White pick em' up truck

As a woman, nothing gives me greater pleasure than having a guy smile at me while I am standing on the street corner! Smile... Look away... Turn back and flash the big teethy grin!!! Get's them every time ;)

Ah, living the dream!

Donna Summer

Question musical world? What happened to having people blow whistles on songs? Jammin to Donna Summer and that is the best part of her music!!! God I'm I sucker for a good whistle! Just don't let me have a whistle at a bar... I am that person

Morning commute

I am always amazed that I get the same bus driver every morning. I have begun to say good morning and thank you to him as I tap my clipper card... His face lights up, he gives me a huge smile and says good morning to you too miss!

Ain't life grand!!! It is the little things that make it all worth while.

Tuesday, June 12, 2012

On a side note, I was walking down the embarcadero with my friend Maria today and on a whim waved at this construction worker on a hog...  I was telling Maria, I've got thing to lose.  Strike me down if the 2 guys next to us didn't have their jaw on ground as the biker pulled over, grabbed an extra helmet and waived me down to hop on the bike.  Damn it if I wasn't wearing a dress!

Goes to show you girls, a little sugar goes a long way!
I was on the bus today going home and the most amazing little old lady was sitting across from me.  She had on  silver chuck taylor's diamond studded shades and a yellow turtle neck.  Damn I want to be like her when I am 75!

Monday, June 11, 2012

Just had a moment.  I am happy to admit I am not tech savy and yes I miss spelled something.  Ms. Duncan my first grade teacher would not be proud:)
Ok, I guess we're live?!  I've never done this before, but no time like the present.  Let's give this a whirl and see how it goes:)  Buckle up for a bumpy ride!
