Some leftovers from 2022

I got some leftovers from 2022 that I thought I’d share.

Got back from San Francisco last week. It was a great trip and fun to be back in my old hoods. I lived there for a year. When it was time to land at SFO I look out of the window and there’s a plane pretty damn close to our plane. Never seen that before. And when we start to go down and are about to land, our plane just speeds up and takes off again. The captain announced that it was crowded on the landing strip. No shit. I think the Southwest plane beat us lol…

First thing I did was to meet up with Patricia and her doggie. I met her at the crossfit gym when I lived in Mountain View. She is Mexican and has the same humor as me – nothing being off limits. So the day I met her at the gym, we are holding ourselves up in a pull up position for as long as we can on the bars. She looks over at me and says: “This reminds me when me and my family climbed the wall over from Mexico to the US”. I just crack up and had to let go of the bar. “Beat ya’ blondie” she says and kept hanging on the bar hahahaaa…

All of a sudden while we’re eating we hear a engine revving and a loud noise. Turns out this lady hit the gas a bit too hard and ended up in the mid section of the road. We talked to her and she was fine…

I hit all my favorite coffee spots while in town. Verve, Wreckingball, and Ritual being a couple of them.

Excited to get my mouth on some Ben & Jerry’s Strawberry Cheesecake ice-cream and getting a selfie with my favorite Elf who was in the neighbourhood.

Santa was nice this year too. Or maybe it’s just me who was nice and got rewarded 🙂 A pic of me and the ugliest wrapped Xmas gift. But it’s the inside that matters, right?

Got some coffee too, Puma socks and so excited about the Meta VR set. I think VR is amazing and if you have any cool tips on what to play or experience on there, please let me know. I do have Resident Evil but I got stuck at the first door cause I couldn’t figure out how to open it hahahaaa…

That was about it from SF. Before I left I was invited to another Guess event by my friend Dyana. Why can’t I do my hair like this on my own???

I also put together a small Swedish pre-Christmas celebration. I made meatball sandwiches with ‘rödbetssallad’ which is beet salad, some cured salmon with this sweet mustard from IKEA, and this amazing Daim cake.

Had some friends in town and we went to see the Teotihuacan pyramids. I had no idea about the history behind them. Someone said there are some documentaries about them and I want to see that. If I remember correctly they built these to be positioned after the stars. In the first photo on the 3rd row you can see how they apparently messed up the positioning of the building. They then just rebuilt a new structure on top of the messed up one with correct positioning. Very cool and if you visit Mexico, go see them.

You didn’t think I forgot to work did you?

And working out… Or checking how my mobility is 🙂 This could maybe be useful in other places than the gym hehheee…

Good thing I got more Puma socks cause Hunter likes to represent LOL…

Ok, time to move over to 2023! Have a fantastic week!

Fun Times

Sooo, other than doing the Changa ceremony a couple of weeks ago, I was invited to a Mexican ‘Día de Muertos’ celebration in Xochimilco. Like Halloween, but more about celebrating the dead than costumes and candy 🙂 We started by having some food and drinks in this tent in the middle of the farm fields.

There was an ofrenda and you could place photos of people or pets that have passed. An ofrenda is like an altar that you place the photos there so the dead can pass through from the other side and visit. You also place things they liked there too like chocolate, drinks, etc. People sang songs and we could then talk or send greetings to our dead. Very beautiful…

We also got these carved pumpkins to light up. Then we went to their field for flowers and got to pick some to places on graves.

After, we took very shallow boats through canals to the cemetery. I think they usually transport their crops on these boats. These pics are in color, but they look like black & white photos. Such eerie light. Very Halloweenie like 🙂

After like 20 min on the water we docked and walked to the cemetery. Wow, one of the coolest and most beautiful sights I’ve seen. So many flowers and lights. People sitting by the graves eating and playing songs the dead used to like. It wasn’t sad, more like a celebration of the ones that passed to the other side. Some graves didn’t have anything on them so we placed our flowers on them…

Very happy I got to see this and I think I will go visit a graveyard here each Halloween… And speaking about ofrendas. Someone had made this one for their dogs, fish & turtles on the side of a walkway. Love it!

Had to put in some work too. Don’t mind me, I’m just being sleazy over here…

Working on the gains too. They’re just not happening fast enough… Or at all?

Some work on Psychonaut Explorer too. And these t-shirts are hopefully ready this month. My favorite ingredients for some enlightenment LOL…

Then I got invited to an event for Guess and Marciano. Dyana who owns the hair salon where I do pretty much all my beautifications like hair, nails and lashes. She was sponsoring the event so I got to go and tag along. Luxury to get pimped out at the salon first. And to have Champagne before 8am. Suits me just fine…

Some beautifications require stronger means and went to get Botox with a friend. Friends that do Botox together, stay together 😉

I went to a private house concert. If I could add another talent to my already vast library of talents (maybe a joke), it would be to sing or play drums.

They have a lot of meet-ups here in the city. Everything from partying, ladies groups, hiking, selling things etc. Yesterday one of them invited who-ever-wants-to-come to a picnic in one of the parks. Decided to go and check it out and it was great. Met some really nice people. Some of us also went and checked out an art exhibition close by…

My favorite thing to do now is to cuddle with Hunter. He is just so sweet and has settled in just fine. He talks, eats and sleeps a lot 🙂 Even able to have the balcony door open and we like to relax out there together 🙂

That’s about it. I leave you with some giant blueberries and a Hulk-like me 🙂 Enjoy your Sunday and grab next week by the nuts & lips 😉
