i moved. to here.
muah.

1. wake up late. i never wake up late. i got my lazy butt out of bed at 10 AM and it was FABULOUS. i don't remember the last time i slept that long, without waking up & forcing myself to go back to sleep. nope! yesterday i just slept like a baby straight through... it was MUCH needed. good sleep= not grumpy. :)

2. watch a HILARIOUS and AMAZING video of "le cruise" made by the fabulous dre filio. i didn't wish i was on the cruise boat, but i wished i was in all the fabulous pictures in orgeon & canada bc it's just so pretty. :) i wished i had the video soundtrack on my computer so i could listen to it all day, and i love being in the company of seriously cool people, even if i only know them in varying degrees!
this picture looks familiar.... wait..... cool awesome people in amazing places all together...

3. and a MUST: stay up into the wee wee hours talking & laughing until your stomach hurts, till your eyes won't stay open, and your heart is full with your favorite person in the whole world. he's snuggly, silly and doesn't mind when i ruin his $3 white t-shirts with mascara:(cruise photo credits to jeff brown & dre)

best movie i've seen all year :)

I AM SO HAPPY!!!!!!

have you seen those ten year olds with the tennis shoes with the wheels in the heels so they can walk AND wheel around????
they're called heely's. at for a STEAL at ross ($13 bucks!! brad paid $40 for his) they're MINE.
i heely-ed around brad's house for an hour. we have big plans to go to disneyland asap.
we'll be there-10 year olds at heart.
i couldn't be more tickled at this moment! :)

nope. disneyland is not the happiest place on earth folks.

perhaps at 17th street and PCH in HB, california???
perhaps with a bunch of completely awesome people, playing soccer in the sand, tackling and kicking shins, getting sunburnt and swimming, body surfing and laying out listening to music.
making friends with cool chicks from denmark, bike riding, 17th street deli, nap on a couch, dirty feet covered in sand, warm sun, cool breeze, cute boy...

i'd say exactly there is the happiest place on earth.
and the best day i've ever had off work. ever.
i wish i had taken pictures of my CRAZY beach hair. it was incredible.

1. i deactivated my facebook until further notice and i feel more free. my friends have my email. they can email me.
2. i was going to delete my blog, but i decided to keep it just so i can tell you today was a LOVELY sunday that began with picking up b-rad from the boat and ended with lots of friends on all the couches, snuggling with my boo, watching and laughing at America's Funniest Home Videos and then hearing Roger tells us he got en-gag-ed to Lisa today. HOORAY. :) and since it was ever so lovely, i decided to keep my blog just to tell you about it.

as "favorite" aunt i get bragging rights.

(this is my sister btw, not me.)

wee baby annie. she's just so sweet and little, dontcha just wanna eat her up??

our whole floor has water coming from above. lovely.

this is just one spot of many. in fact, i'm getting really sleepy bc the dripping is kinda like nature therapy.... like its raining. and i DO love rain...

i keep hoping they'll send us home. but they won't.

i'm not usually a girl for brand names. i love target. and kohl's and whatever fits. things from flea markets and knock offs.

but...um...

i confess i'd love this in a little blue box.

*sigh*

don't click the picture unless you wanna get sucked in.
:)

welp, kids! i had my first earthquake yesterday...

and afterwards for a few minutes you could feel the floor rolling and rolling.... queasy.

this morning i drove merzy & el jefe & bradleyjbarttels to the long beach port to leave me for 7 days and go cruzing to canadia.
they were supposed to go to me-hee-co, but then the piggy flu made them reroute. i wasn't jealous when they were going DOWN the coast, but i REALLY am jealous now bc i've always wanted to go to BC, Canada.

i'm already missing brad.

and its like 5 o clock.
on the first day.
BAH!!

work conference + my own hotel room and king sized bed + free food and travel + funny coworkers + perfect weather = the ideal work week.

china town purchase

my view at dinner at fisherman's wharf :) yep that's right. sunset out the glass looking at golden gate. woot!

my first cable car ride!! i can't believe this is my 3rd trip to SF and my first cable car. i hung on the side and gave high fives to the people on the cars going passed :)

well my weekend in vegas consisted of a shoe thief,

crazy babies,

old funny friends,

and flowers

and family

& many many laughs.

my mom now has 4 outta 5 college graduates. way to go nate dog! we love you.
thanks for giving us a reason to all get together and eat our weight in hor'de'oeuvres and bbq chicken.

:)

every 3/4 weeks i go and see my friend annie. annie is my favorite gift to myself; she's the gift that keeps on giving... as in i keep giving her money.

annie is the estetician who lovingly sculpts my bushy unruly eye brows into perfect eye-framing lines making her the perfect canidate for "my favorite and 'necessary' person i've met in CA."

if you don't have an annie, get one. she's amazing. she singlehandedly can turn a day around. if you want to feel beautiful within minutes, annie can do it.

I give you permission to pamper yourself.

and was thinking about him all morning...

sorry b.

i think its bc he's also sylar, and i always love the bad guys on tv shows. i love a man with edge.

this morning i walked through a spider web knowingly.
oh, i saw it.
i inspected it for octo-legged vermin, decided i still needed to walk through this space, took a deep breath and went for it, arms flailing in front of me.


course then i got all squeamish and had to rub down my body to make sure it wasn't all stuck there or some little arachnid hadn't held on at the last minute.


NO SERIOUSLY. this is a HUGE feat. i scream and run and jump and am afraid of spiders roughly the size of a pinhead.
perhaps it has something to do with the large wolf spiders i grew up finding in our garage. *SHUDDER*
or the fact that the average spider runs faster than me. and usually not from me, but AT me. or the big butted black widows, or the bonus feature of living in las vegas- brown recluse- it'll KILL ya whilst having your arm rot from the inside out... lovely.

or maybe it was when my brothers sat on me on the couch so i had to watch arachnophobia when i was like 8.
thanks kev & nate. i'm scarred.

facing my fears. woot. :)

thats right. i saw it. at the 10 o clock show.

and it was AWESOME.

work.
go to the angel's game fo' FREE.
hoop and hoorah at the tv when kris allen didnt get kicked off american idol.(this MAY have been the highlight of my night. ha.)
snuggle.
take a long shower and go to bed.

quite a lovely wednesday if i do say myself!
