Oh by golly!

My Christmas was absolutely magical. On Christmas Eve, I had to work in the morning-but when I got home, I was in full clean house and cooking mode. I was so excited to have my family over our house this year for Noche Buena. We got to eat, drink and open presents! And I was completely satisfied with everything I got. Funny but kinda awful story...I made a wishlist for Geo a few weeks ago which had this amazing Modcloth military coat included in it. He ended up ordering it for me, and when it arrived-he pulled it out of the box, and the thing looked like it was stitched together by a 5 year old. No joke, it looked more like $6 than the amount Geo paid for it. Needless to say, both of us were very upset and I was extremely disappointed since I had heard such great things about Modcloth. Now, I can't say this is my last time ordering from them, because I've seen so many other bloggers in their stuff-but I will definitely be more wary of what I get from now on.

So apart from that tiny glitch in my evening, the food was amazing, and the drinks and company were superb. Christmas Day was spent with Geo's side of the family at the Smokehouse in Burbank. I had never been, and they're apparently known for their amazing prime rib. I have to admit though, that the garlic bread was much more appealing than my main course. I hope you and your loved ones had a very Merry Christmas. Now, we have to wait another 365 days for the next one.*Sigh*

It rolls in from the sea...

What I adore about the holiday season...Christmas shopping with great friends. The other day, Siera, Kristina and I went to Burbank to finish up the gift giving and to catch up on some much needed girl time. God knows I've needed it. And it's always so much fun to be around them. I feel so lucky.

On another note, Esther from the lovely Rhapsody in Boots was sweet enough to give me an award for blogging. Thank you so much, Esther, I truly appreciate it.


In order to fully accept the award, I have to state 7 random facts about myself...so here it goes!

1.) I love to cook. If I had an infinite amount of ingredients for me to access on a daily basis-I'd probably be cooking 24/7.
2.) I used to have a much edgier sense of style. If you ask my hubby, how I was when he first met me, he'd concur that I did. I would wear the weirdest things!
3.) When I was younger, I always thought I would grow up to be a singer/songwriter. And then, acting came along, and I never looked back.
4.) I miss singing. I mean, really singing.
5.) 4 years ago, I had a mohawk. And I rocked it.
6.) I cry at Hallmark commercials.
7.) I would secretly love to work at a TJ Maxx just to get all the deals!
