I'm not sure what crawled up my butt, but i decided to go hiking.
See, I'm lazy and i loooove sleeping and i was off work early so I'm a bit surprised myself.
but it was worth it!!!!





I went to The Baldwin Hills Scenic View.
Those stairs are killer.
I read that there's 300 of them but I'm not sure. I will have to recount.
I made it to the 3rd set and then it kicked my ass so i sat down for a few minutes.
I made it all the way to the top and back down and then went running up and down through the hike route.
I cant wait to go again!
I found the rainbow all the way at the top now i just need to find out exactly where its at so i can go snap a picture!!! :D
So if you know, let me know.
Better yet, LET'S GO!!!!

There's a guy in a van selling water and Gatorade and all sorts of drinks at the bottom right before you go up.
On the way down and back to my car, we stopped to buy a vitamin water off of him.
I asked him if he was the only one selling water and all that and he said yes.
I told him he was intelligent!!!
(this whole conversation was going on in spanish!)
He then asked if i wanted a water and I said no thanks.
That's when he offered me one for free!!! woohoo!!!
(little does he know I'm planning to open up my own business riiiight next to him...muahahahaha who has a van? just kidding!!!)


LESSON OF THE DAY: Make friends EVERYWHERE you go! :)


woohoo! what a great day.
Now here are some random snapshots I took!
I love random street art.
Its the best!!!! (:

welcome back.....(although i've yet to tell anyone so this is still just for me!)

Congrats to my cousin who just graduated from UCLA class of   2013!!!!!!

this is me and my brother.
were celebrating all of '13s.
i dont have a picture with my cousin because well she swears shes tooooo cool! -.-

my aunt and her family threw her a party this past weekend and it inspired my sister to start planning my moms 50th bday party next year.

ive decided that in addition to what i read, ill throw in some family stuff because, well, they're all jokes. i mean that in a loving way.
which is why I'm telling you this little story.

so any who, I'm driving with my sister, she tells me that she is inspired and that she wants to throw my mom a party because: "she's going to be 50! that's half your life basically. she has 3 amazing kids, and if i say so myself  I AM pretty amazing, i make up for what you and tony lack. So i want to get my mom strippers and hot guys to pass around food and drinks in tiny shorts."

my sister guys!
be prepared for the party!
you are all invited & bring your dolla bills.

so this will be a little something.
ill be posting what (i think) is funny to me.
my sister alone is a little gem.

Welcome.
There's no turning back now! :D
(yea there is...what am i kidding!)
My new year’s resolution last year was to a) wear earrings every day and 2) read a new book every month and blog about it.

I wore the earrings.           
I started the blog.
I read books.
The end.

While I did start blogging some books, I wasn’t really in to the idea of publishing or writing anything about it.
Why?
I'm not sure.

So let’s give this another go!

Except different.
I guess this will be different things.
Mostly books.
Some DIY.
Arts and craft and a bunch of random stuff.

I get that I’m somewhat of an oddball from my family and that I should start a blog so here it goes......ahhh!!!!!!!

Ill also post stuff my family says.
Mainly my sister and brother.
JOKES!
Both of them.

ooook.
Here we go!

My name is Leslie.
Let’s start this little blogging adventure together!
