I just finished a super great book, called The honey Book.

It went over the different historical importance of honey and how our knowledge of bees has evolved to where we are now able to keep them and harvest they honey for its yummy sweet goodness! My interest in bees started when Roy and I decided we wanted to try Mead, honey wine, So we went to the store and we couldn't find it, then we tried a couple other places and had no luck there either. It seemed so strange to us that one of the oldest forms of alcohol was not very easy to come by! So then Roy and I got to thinking, Well why couldn't we make our own mead?
So we Googled it of course and we found that it seemed like it would be quite easy to make! the only thing is that it takes about 6 months to a year to ferment, knowing that we decided we would want to make a large batch. We figured it would probably be delicious and we would most likely be bummed if we had to wait another 6 months to have more, so this means we needed quite a bit of honey and as it turns out honey is very expensive! So we thought maybe it would be great to have our own bee hive. So we have been gathering some info here and there and that is why I just read the honey book.  I really learned quite a bit actually!

 So we do have a future goal and are hoping very much to cultivate a hive and make some honey! After learning about how bees make honey and how industrious they are I just really have a new respect for what honey is and now I am so excited start a hive with Roy!

Joan Jett and the Black hearts!!!!!

So I saw Joan Jett and the black hearts last evening and it was pretty awesome! Such an amazing experience that I never expected! First of all thank you thank you to my amazing and wonderful boyfriend Roy! He knew I would love to go see the show and so he made the arrangements and it was really quite an amazing show!
Joan Jett is 44 yrs young and still rockin it like a boss! Her show was so awesome and entertaining, she sounded great and was really energetic! When she got on stage it was so exciting and the second she opened with bad reputation and I heard her voice I was just taken over. She had this huge voice, coming out of her small frame and some how it just managed to fill all of the empty space. Truly an experience of a lifetime!

Inspired to blog!

Take inspiration where you can get it! I always feel like I want to be more diligent about writing here! So Thank you GoallyRose for the sweet and all too true post and the inspiration to get writing!

I am embarking on a new journey! I am going back to School! I guess I have been feeling the urge to finish up my associates degree but I needed a little encouragement! And by little I mean it really didn't take much! Just an its-in-your-best-interest "suggestion" from my friends parents who think of me as their adopted mexican daughter to convince me that I really should do it, and now I cant wait for August 15th and the start of classes!!! I stopped going to school about 3 years ago, I was just so tired of supporting my self and focusing on my studies and my life needed some work. But now I am so excited because I feel like I am in a great place. I have a wonderful boyfriend who is so supportive and great and loving to me. And I have a great friend in Ally that I can be open with and rely on! I will try to be more academic in my endeavor to blog!
