I Love Fridays

I love the way they make me feel, the way they smell, the way they make everything all right.

I hope everyone has an amazing weekend before the Big Week!

A Girl Can Dream, Right?

Meet the sexiest car of 2009, a Jaguar XF Supercharged in Liquid Silver! For a mere $62,200 (base price) I could be styling and profiling in this beaut!

Rain, Rain, Go Away

I found this little tid bit on Wikipedia very interesting!

Snow has been recorded falling on San Diego communities only five times in over
125 years of record-keeping[1].
Snow flurries were last seen in San Diego on February 15th, 2008, and the last
measurable snowfall to hit various neighborhoods and suburbs around the city
fell on December 13th, 1967. In winter, light snow is common in mountainous
regions of east San Diego County above 3000-4000 feet; one can sometimes see
snow-covered mountains from San Diego. [2]

I'm in Love

I stumbled across these beauties from Bakers. They would look perfect with my sweater thigh-highs I just bought!

Happy Friday--Holiday Countdown Continues

Frank Sinatra was born on this day in 1915

What an amazing life he led and so gracefully left us with beautiful songs and wonderful memories. I hope you're right Frank, "The best is yet to come"

Today is Friday! I am so relieved that this week is over. Just one more week and then I can start packing for my holiday trip! If you can't tell, I'm ecstatic to be going home and seeing all of my family this year! I know it will fly by so I'm just trying to enjoy all of the minutes leading up to it.

We Got A Tree... Well Kinda

The lights are up and the stockings are hung, but where is The Tree?

This year we will be out of town for Christmas leaving our kitties with full reign of the house so we were debating even getting a tree, real or fake. A friend of mine gave me this small prelit upside down tree. It looks really weird but the story of the tree is when Europeans did it back in the Middle Ages it was to represent the Trinity (The Father, The Son and The Holy Spirit) . Now-a-days Christmas trees have a pointy top that is supposed to point up to Christ. I guess if you have a ton of presents, the upside down tree could offer much more space "underneath the tree" but only if you can get over the fact that your tree is upside down.

Prayers

Monday afternoon I was a hair model for Toni over at Artesia Day Spa and Salon. She cut my hair into a Classic TIGI style, very cute! I got my make up done in a very intense smokey eye style. Then we headed over to Say Lula Salon down in East Village to do her recorded interview and demonstration of the haircuts in order to become a TIGI hair instructor. I had such a blast being in the behind the scenes of a hairshow!

On a very serious note:

A military aircraft crashed into a residential neighborhood here on Monday, igniting an intense fire that killed a grandmother, mother, and young child in one house and destroyed at least one other home and two cars. A second child from the same family was missing and presumed dead. The authorities, who did not immediately identify the victims, resumed the search for the missing child today. Please send the family your prayers.

Happy Friday!

Christmas is almost here!

Only Christmas music from now on...I'm normally a very thrifty shopper but I bought two pairs of these thigh-highs at American Apparel on a complete impulse.

This week has just flown by!

Tomorrow, Ted and I are going out to the desert to watch some rockets launch! That should be loads of fun. Then on Sunday, we're going up to Ted's parent's house to put up the Christmas Tree and decorate it!

I'm so excited that we aren't going to have an 80 degree San Diego Christmas this year!

It's All Over Now

So, the week long vacation from school and the extended weekend from work has abruptly come to an end! I'm so sad! I did manage to cram in something every night though. Between two Thanksgiving dinners back to back, crazily shopping on Black Friday at the mall of all places, getting a little more shopping done for New York on Saturday, and ending the week off with a Smashing Pumpkins concert on Sunday. I have to say the concert was one of the weirdest best shows I've ever been to! Let's just leave it at that! It was the Billy Corgan Show!
