Merry Christmas darling...

Merry Christmas!!

It's been two days, and still it feels like Christmas never even happened. With just a blink of an eye, it was over. Too fast, in my opinion. I wish Christmas was a week long celebration! Hell, I wish it was an entire month. But enough of my complaining, because in all honesty-my Christmas was pretty grand. I got everything I could ever ask for in life...my health, my family, my friends, and my love. I hope everyone had a beautiful weekend filled with lots of joy.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

Today I was thankful for not throwing up at my in-law's house due to overstuffing myself. But apart from that, my day has sort of been perfect! Pictures to come soon, since I've found myself way behind on blogging. Instead I give you pics from the 2nd day of our trip. 

First off we woke up to the most amazing view from our hotel. The bay looked absolutely beautiful and picturesque, we spent about an hour just standing on the bridge taking in its beauty. We stayed in Mill Valley the majority of the day, exploring what the cute town had to offer. Then we drove into the city in the evening to do a little shopping in Union Square. Finally it was dinnertime at Tyler Florence's restaurant called El Paseo, back in Mill Valley. I give the restaurant a 4 1/2 out of 5 stars due to it's rustic modern decor and very cozy atmosphere (we were sat next to an elaborate fireplace) and very attentive wait staff. Unfortunately the food was only ok...which bummed me out considering how long I waited to eat there. All in all, it was a beautiful day, and just thinking about it makes me want to go back very soon!  

But back to today, I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving! I'm so thankful for all of the amazing people and blessings I have in my life. And I'm so happy I get to see my family again tomorrow!

Louder than sirens, louder than bells

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.

Je t'aime...Moi non plus

 The title of my post is also the title of one of my favorite French songs by Serge Gainsbourg and Jane Birkin. It's actually quite funny, the first time Geo heard me playing it he said, "Are they having sex or what?" It's a very sexy, sensual song. I was feeling very french on Sunday, and was reminded of the song-I played it over and over as I got ready. My look is very Parisian chic, non? :) I especially love my Zara top which I planned my entire look around. It says: Le sont les bons moments que nous gardons au fond de nous.  Which loosely, translates to These are the moments we keep (cherish) in our lives.  Thanksgiving came a couple days early with my theatre family. I had such a great time eating all of the amazing food people brought, and playing Apples to Apples (a game we used to play in the CSUN green room constantly). It was just a cozy, fun filled evening, with the people I keep near and dear to my heart.

Can't wait for the upcoming Thanksgiving festivities! I hope you all have a Happy Turkey Day!

You could be my silver spring...

Yes, yes, I've been M.I.A. I hate to say it, but work has sort of taken over my life. In a good, and not so good way.  Don't get me wrong, I love my job-but it's just exhausting some days. I've been wanting to see my girls for awhile now. Especially since Kristina was in NY and Siera went to Minnesota for 3 weeks. But finally, we were able to get together at our favorite all around good vibe/good drinks/good food place-BJ's! Mmm...I could eat everything on their menu. I wish Kate could've been with us too, but unfortunately she was out of town. Anyway, we were out celebrating a really big event that just happened in my life. I won't say what it is for privacy issues-but it's something I've been waiting a long time for. I'm so thankful and so lucky that 2010 is exactly how I pictured it to be. Next up-getting an agent! Can't wait to constantly put myself out there. Hopefully someone/something will bite. After all, my friends do think I'm pretty special. ;)

It's Beginning To Look a Lot Like...

I hope everyone had a nice Thanksgiving. I was lucky enough to have two Thanksgivings this year...These pictures were taken during the first half with my family. And unfortunately I didn't get a chance to snap some pictures over at my 2nd family. It was more of an intimate setting anyway, unlike the hustle and bustle of my parents' house. Let's just say we're a little more unconventional. My dad cooked lamb, salmon and we had shrimp cocktails as appetizers as opposed to turkey, stuffing, and cranberry sauce (It's okay- we had all that at his side). Although I love having the two Thanksgivings-I have to say I am very much looking forward to the year when we can combine our families and just have ONE big dinner. But all in all though, Geo and I had a great time filling our tummies up with delicious food, and enjoyed the company we had surrounding us. I was extremely thankful.

The next day, my family and I embarked on the treacherous journey that is Black Friday. The first Christmas shopping day for me. And this year we did it at the 3rd St. Promenade in Santa Monica. Better than the mall right? Wrong! It was jam packed with tourists and moms with their toddlers. It was just a zoo full of people, and not a lot of room to walk around. I could barely breathe in most of the stores! It left me feeling exhausted and extremely disappointed. I'm just glad it's over. Perhaps, I'll skip out on Black Friday next year. lol.
