kind of forgot again...whoops!

i need to make blogging part of my everyday life again. i'm so busy it seems like i never remember to take a few moments and share with y'all whats going on.

as you know, i'm a big usc supporter. as an alumni i suppose that's expected but i'm a huge football fan and halloween night this year was devastating! i don't know what it is about the state of oregon, but we're on bad terms. and here's why:

oregon, oregon state, portland (the city that stole my best friend)

also, when i visited the state to escort my bf to her new life, i was rudely scoffed at recieving an eyeroll and "ugh california!" sorry that you don't have as many days of sunshine oregon but don't take it out on me.

ooooooh, just a quick tidbit, another reason why the blogging has been hard again is because i was without internet for over a week! so there, i don't feel as bad as i did before. however, expect sporadic posts until december because i leave for england in about a week and i won't really be able to blog much while i'm gone (for 10 days)

all for now lovies!

xoxo.

giving this another try!

helloooooooo! i'm back. giving this whole blogging thing another try. lot's has happened since i left you. i've had a birthday (yay, kind of...i don't like getting older but it's wonderful to celebrate and get prezzies!) been to a bachelorette party and wedding for a good friend, gotten a promotion at work, lost a few more lbs, taken a trip to Chicago/South Bend for the USC v. Notre Dame game, and i'm sure lots more. anyway...point is, i'm back.

i just got home from the gym, i can't tell you how much i dreaded going tonight, but as always...i felt amazing once i'd completed my workout. i was away from thursday of last week to monday and hadn't worked out since last wednesday so i definitely needed to go! where was i you ask? i was in Chicago!




every other year when my Trojans play Notre Dame at Notre Dame, I trek out to the midwest to support them. it's an old rivalry and the most amazing game to attend. i love the notre dame fans (well most of them anyway). they're very respectful, everyone is welcoming and surprisingly congratulatory after the game ends. it's a tradition i hope to continue (going to the game that is)!!! i also have family in Chicago so it's nice to see old friends and family while i'm there. and downtown chicago has some pretty awesome shopping which is always nice. i traveled out with my mom and met my roommate/best friend from usc there. all in all it was a wonderful victorious weekend.


tomorrow i am headed up to pasadena to bid farewell to another friend from college. he's moving to colorado this weekend, it's so sad to see friends go off. but such is life, so i will wish him the best of luck :)

for now, i'm off to take a relaxing bubble bath before turning in. i will be back to share with you asap!!! love and light!!!!

a banzai bowl from wahoo's with blackened fish (my fave)

and now snuggling into bed with my sweet puppy and catching up on all of your recent posts. everyone seems to be having amazing adventures, but i'm not surprised! as usual i'm jealous of hopsy and her recent world travels, india sounds amazing! well goodnight everyone and be sure to leave any suggestions for my new bedroom furniture!!! i need help!!!

odd.

things feel wierd right now. can't explain why. i feel like i just realized a lot. not too much self realization but realization of stuff happening with close friends and it's putting me in a sort of melancholy mood. i think my DC vacation is exactly what i need. i just need some time to think about it all, send up some prayers, and keep positive for those around me.

i'll try to blog a little bit from my blackberry while in DC. don't expect any crazy cool visual posts. but, when i get back. i'm sure i'll have loads to share and pictures galore. god bless!

i'll be there for you...

i love F-R-I-E-N-D-S a lot! it's one of my all time favorites! i don't watch too much tv anymore, maybe it's because 99% of it is reality. i miss sitcoms! there's nothing even close to F-R-I-E-N-D-S!!! and lucky me (and you too if you're a fan) all seasons are on sale for $16.99 right now at Target!!!!



and on that note (or not) it's been rainy here in southern california, not cool! hopefully wherever you are it's not raining. i usually like rain but not right now, i can't explain it. it was kind of like soft rain, very light drops, but a lot of them! i can't believe i'm trying to explain this...haha!

one more thing. i was watching the most recent episode of the city and loved the cover picture of jessica alba in elle magazine. i went out to get elle and it wasn't the same cover...AND that picture wasn't even part of the editorial! it was such a great photo with the look WHITNEY picked out. a beautiful dvf floral jacket. cute cute cute!



this is the cover i wanted! i love love love this look! she's so whimsical looking with a little bit of 60's flare to it, so fresh, so spring!


this is what i got. it's alright, i just love the other one.

all for now darlings! hope you are having a fabulous day, wherever you are!

xo.
