Baby, it's not a gain

I surprised my folks today by driving to my hometown to take 'em out for lunch. My mom recently went to the doctor and found out she has this thing that prevents her from touching other people. Thank God its curable, because that would just be the most awful thing-not being able to touch anyone forever? That would be hell. But it's only for a couple weeks, and I thought it would cheer her up to see me. The not hugging part was tough though. Anyway, we went to this new gastropub that just opened up in old town, and it was decked out it in Halloween decor. This made me stress about the holiday a little, because it's coming up so fast...and I still have no clue what to be or what we're doing. So I think I have to get on that-2 more weeks! 

In other news, I finally got an iPhone-the new 4s, that has artificial intelligence and takes better photos than my regular camera. I took my outfit shots today with it, and they turned out amazing. I probably won't need to bring my camera with me ever again. Less to carry, yay! 

I really hope this week goes by fast and smooth. Really looking forward to next Monday! Xoxo

I'M THANKFUL FOR...

Family, my gorgeous sister who is also my best friend, my amazing group of bests (KBSDK) who love me no matter what, and my George-who makes me happy every single day. 

My Thanksgiving was an amazing one. Every year, Geo and I get to celebrate it twice. Once with my family and once with his. Until we're able to house 15-20 people at one time, I just don't think we're able to have a Thanksgiving dinner all at once. That's another thing I want to add to my list of goals-get a house big enough for family events.

I love the fact that our family doesn't do a traditional meal-we eat things like roast of lamb, wild rice, spinach and artichoke dip, halibut, etc...The dinner we had with the Ackles clan made up for that. I love having Thanksgiving up in the Hollywood hills at his Aunt and Uncle's-their house is so beautiful, and they always create the most unique tablescapes. Needless to say, by the end of the night Geo and I were both so stuffed, we couldn't even move. :) I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving.

I love my family. Oh so much. And surprise visits to see them, makes me very happy. :)

I and Love and You

I had an amazing half weekend with my family in Monrovia. Thai food, The Kitchen and shopping in Pasadena, and Starbucks at the crack of dawn. It was loads of fun, and obviously I always enjoy spending more time with my partner in crime aka Seester. Ain't she the coolest? Much cooler than me, that's for sure. ;p

P.S. I kinda sorta lightened my hair. It's hard to see, because I went from being jet black, so it's really difficult to change up, but right now, it's sort of a golden chestnut. I don't know if you guys can tell from the pics. To me, it doesn't look very different.
