Day 337 - Food For Thought

I've been cooking...well, I still am but these items are from some time ago, but I was finally not lazy and plugged my camera in.


^Tuna trying to be like what my family had in Florida over Christmas and wasabi mashed potatoes. Made this for New Year's Eve dinner with the Brit. He freaking loved it because he loves tuna. I cooked mine a little longer because I wasn't sure how good the tuna was since I normally don't buy it. The wasabi potatoes were a nice twist, but it's hard to beat good old-fashioned mashed potatoes made like mom.


^Mom's potato salad for The Golden Globes! I've been wanting to make it and did a pretty good job. The Brit thought there was a bit too much celery but what does he know? Note: if you live alone don't use as many potatoes as your mom did for a family of five. You will be eating it all week long and then some, which is delicious so who cares!

That's all the food pics. But I have one more special one for fun...


^Barbar likes to pretend he is a homeless bag cat sometimes. He's picked up odd habits since we've been living on our own for the last year. Oh well, at least it's adorable.

Night!

Day 256 - Frick Frack, It's Friday!

I'm so happy it's Friday!

And even better, I don't have to go into the office today. It was a last minute change-a-roo because the girl I work with is sick and my head boss won't be in, but I am still working, just from a Starbuck's in the area and then mid-day I will get my check for the week from my boss and go home and work some more.

Also about work, my hours have changed and made me far less stressed. I'm still doing other projects so it's nice to have some breathing room. Money is still good, so there are no worries there. Whoa, never thought I'd say that. But I do know that I could be out of any job at anytime, so I'm keeping prepared.

What else? I'm really excited for this weekend. No plans at all, but I have to do a bit of work and I'm also doing some birthday shopping!

The Brit and I are still trying to get together. Our schedules have mismatched all week, me busy at the beginning and him swamped now. But, we're looking toward something next week and I think he really wants to...well, he said he is really looking forward to seeing me again. I'm excited and I think we'll make it happen.

I finally figured out my new iPod a little. At least I figured out how to turn it on and stuff. Ha! But I plan to spend some quality time with it this weekend. It's cute and I can't decide if it needs a name...I figure only if something seems magically perfect.

I'll also try to post pics of my mom's visit/my birthday this weekend, along with pics of my fabulous bed. Best idea ever to redo it. And trust me, it's worth spending a little more on bedding because I have never slept so good. I feel like I am sleeping on clouds. I'll talk more about my bed when I post a pic and give my new bed advice.

OK, time to start working soon. Happy Friday the 13th!!

Day 253 - Yikes! Hi!

I know, sooooo long since I've written.

My mom was here and just left this morning. And I turned 26!

I really can't write much because I have work to do. So much work. Here is a quick breakdown.

Work: Good. Busy. Taking on a lot with the new job.

Birthday: So much fun. Got nails done. Had martinis. Wonderful wishes and presents from my family.

Mom's visit: Crazy fun. Wandered around Hollywood. Went to a comedy show. Had hot dogs at Pink's.

Boys: OK, my mom found me a guy. Went out to the local bar and met a guy. Then the next morning he was at the same place as us for breakfast. Details - musician, lives in my area, has a slight British accent, great teeth...basically way cooler than me. Exchanged numbers and Legal Eagle and I have devised a plan of action. And for now, I will refer to him as the Brit. Oh, and Neighbor didn't wish me a happy birthday. Major fail.

Other: Everything is really good. 26 is off to a great start.

Now I have to get back to work. I'll try to get pics from my mom and update when I have time, but it's going to be an insane week.

Day 251 - Just A Pit Stop

Hi! Just checking in. So busy!!

Week has been good. New job is good.

Monday night Legal Eagle and I went to some little bar in West Hollywood because LE's boss' girlfriend's friend was singing there. It was good. She reminded me of this other singer I like who I can't think of but she sings this "Captain" song that I love.

Other than that it's been work, work, work. But less than a week until my mom is here! Yay!

Hmmm...really not too much going on. Trying to get on top of all my work so that I can have my mom's whole visit off from work.

Oh, I saw Jesus yesterday. He lives in West Hollywood. Seriously, saw him...beard, white robe outfit and all.

More later, but I should go get ready for work...or sit for a few more minutes.

Day 248 - Phew!

Hi Bloggity Blog!

This week has been nutter butter. I quickly started a new gig/job/project/whatever mid-week. Basically that means I wake up at 6am, am working by 7am at home, leave around noon-ish to go to this new office, leave there at 6pm and am home after 7pm. Then figure in a workout (if not dead and Legal Eagle wants to) and making dinner and I'm beat. Plus, I had previously agreed to transcribe an interview this week so that made this week nonstop (kind of like this paragraph).

But! Things are good. I'm good. Feeling productive, enjoying the new work, getting along with the people, succeeding, etc. Granted, I know that at any time my work schedule can change or disappear, but things are good! And they really like me too.

Now I am just so happy it's Friday. I have no major plans other than a movie Sunday night. Mostly going to clean and do some other work (leisurely). But cleaning is a must because my mom is visiting for my birthday!!!!

What else, what else? Haven't hung out with Neighbor but I did just run into him. It was good. I mean, it's always good. Apparently he has some little 19-year-old actress "stalking" him or at least trying to hang out with him a lot. Yes, I find this annoying, but am really kind of too tired to think too much about it. I know, shocking. Sorry, no extreme over-analyzing right now. He wants to hang out, that old story, but I know better than to think we will. Although, it was kind of cute when we were standing in the road talking and I wouldn't move for the cars that were passing by and he said something about it and then brought up how when we went to the Garden of Oz, I didn't really pay attention to the street and cars. I tried to explain that they should be looking out for me, but he didn't get it. I don't know, it was a cute moment, you had to be there.

But moving on, my brain is only on work and my mom's visit. Oh, and the comforter and pillows I am about to buy online on sale. Finally!

OK, would chat more but I really just want to shut this lappy down. Good night!

Day 222 - Happy Mother's Day!

In honor of Mother's Day, I thought about the best advice my mom has ever given me. It's hard to choose one piece, but the one I think about often would be:

"When you don't get a job or something else goes wrong in life, give yourself an amount of time to pout and whine about it, but then when that time is up, get over it and move forward."

It's recent (last few years) advice and has been advice that I use all the time.

I was going to post a picture, but I realized all my pictures are on my old laptop and I'm too lazy to turn it on right now. I'm sure my mom will understand...maybe I'll turn it on "in a minute."

Friday, May 7, 2010

Day 221 cont. - Bam!

Done working! Mostly...I can do some other stuff later, but things that needed to be done are done!

What's up for this weekend?

Saturday: Brunch (maybe, I think) with Legal Eagle at The Waffle. We've both been wanting to go and it's just down on Sunset.

After brunch, we will be going shopping for outfits to wear to her '80s birthday party. I originally thought I would do an aerobics instructor thing, but now we might hang by the pool for her party. I'll just wing it and collect random '80s clothing and put some sort of outfit together. We've been looking forward to getting our outfits for months now.



Sunday (Mother's Day): Call my mom. Ha.

Then maybe I will go to Sweet Love Hangover with Neighbor. We had briefly said maybe we would this Sunday, but no definite plans. I'll probably check in with him about it today as he has already texted me. That would be fun, but if he can't, what shall I do? LE will be going to her bf's Mother's Day events. I suppose I could work on my own writing. I'll just make a relaxing day of it. With lots of food to eat!

OK, maybe my internet back home is working again. Going to go find out!

Day 188 cont. - Wishy Washy Fishy Wishy And A Double Dose Of Psych!

OK kids, the Neighbor movie night post.

We had made tentative plans to hang out and watch Maniac (a horror movie he has been trying to get me to watch). He told me that he would let me know when he was back from work on Tuesday night, probably sometime after 7pm.

Around 8pm my phone rang. Yes! My phone rang, not a text message. I stared at my phone and had to will my hand to pick it up and answer because, after all, he was making the effort to call.

We talked on the phone. It went fine (especially when I lost my signal and the call, ha!). During the call he said he was leaving work and would I want to come by around 9:30/10, or was that too late because of my bedtime. Very funny.

I headed over and the night began. It's so much easier to just highlight the convos so here you go!

Somehow we were talking about astrology:

Me: When's your birthday?

Neighbor: August 18, a Leo.

Me: Hm...I'm a Leo, too.

Blah, blah, blah.

Neighbor: And then they have all that pairing up stuff of astrology signs, like who you should date.

Me: Yeah.

Neighbor: What happens when two Leos get together?

Me: (really long pause) I don't really know. I've never...dated...a...Leo.

-----------------------------------------

Neighbor mentions the movie Blade Runner:

Me: Blade Runner is one of my mom's favorite movies. She used to make us watch it.

Neighbor: So Ladykillers and Blade Runner. What else?

Me: Actually, maybe my mom's favorite movie is Harold & Maude.

Neighbor: Oh my god. Your mom is awesome.

Me: (in head) Great.

-----------------------------------------

Neighbor: I'd probably be happier holding fries from McDonald's than holding a baby or something.

Me: I know, I wish I didn't love fast food as much as I do, but I do.

Neighbor: What's your favorite?

Me: Oh no, I don't tell anyone that.

Neighbor: Why not?

Me: It's embarrassing. You'll judge me.

Neighbor: McDonald's?

Me: No.

Neighbor: Jack in the Box? Del Taco?

Me: No, but I like both of those.

Neighbor: Taco Bell? El Pollo Loco?

Me: Okay, okay. You said it. Taco Bell.

Neighbor: Ahh, Taco Bell. That's not embarrassing.

-----------------------------------------

We hear a bang in his apartment after watching scary movies:

Neighbor: Shit, what was that?

Me: That was so you.

Neighbor: No, how would I even make that sound? (proceeds to hit everything around him proving he couldn't have made the noise)

Me: Whatever, you're trying to scare me.

Neighbor: I'm the one who has to sleep here tonight.

Me: Yeah, but I have to go outside and walk all the way back to my place.

Neighbor: I'll walk you back to your place.

Me: (in head) Yes!

-----------------------------------------

You're probably wondering about the title. OK, first part:

We totally get along, like we could be really good friends. The trouble with trying to date him is that if it doesn't work then we've (most likely) ruined a friendship and have to live next to each other. Yikes!

But, I also don't like the idea of him dating someone else.

But, he's so unlike anyone I've dated or been interested in that I'm not sure we wouldn't drive each other nuts. (Hello?! Both Leos and the youngest in the family. Recipe for ego, spoiled brat disaster.)

But, I've never so instantly felt so comfortable with a guy who I can actually be myself around and not feel like I have to behave a certain way.

But, due to his dating past, I feel like he falls for girls quickly and I'm the kind of girl who freaks out with that stuff.

But, I really, honestly wish he would make a move or something!

But...see? Totally wishy washy the more I think about everything. Time to stop thinking.

And the double psych?

So, I thought he would make a move or ask me out or something last night.

At one point I was sitting on his couch with the movie case of one of the films next to me. He was up and then came to the couch, picked it up, stood there and watched the TV for a bit and then went back to his seat on the love seat. I so thought he was going to sit next to me.

And then the other psych was when he said he'd walk me back to my place and I thought something would happen then. Instead, he walked me to the driveway that leads to my building and then we parted ways. Dumb.


As of now, clearly I'm not sure what's going on. Maybe he just wants to be friends. Maybe he doesn't think I'm flirting so he isn't going to risk anything. Maybe he's shy like Legal Eagle says. Maybe he's still dealing with his breakup (it's official). But for now, I'm going to do nothing. I'm leaving it up to him to make first contact.

I'll keep you updated!

Oh, and I totally lied to him and told him I never Facebook stalk. Oops!

Day 174 - From My Mom



^Hola Mozie! Bon Bon is on the Go Go to San Diego with you. Thinking of you! Have fun! Love, xoxo



^Mo--you could substitute Mo's Posse, not Strange. xoxo


My mom sent me two e-cards yesterday. She's silly and adorable.

Day 161 - I Need To Add These!

I think sometimes the best time to make New Year's resolutions is right after the new year because then you realize what you really want to be doing, so I am adding a few:

1. Take better care of my skin - I probably already have more products than I need, but now I want to right products. I needed new face lotion anyway, so I got one with SPF 45! Yes, my face will get no sun. Maybe it's because I'm aging (ew!) or I'm smarter now, but I feel like I can little signs of damage and I need to protect my face (plus I'm not so lame anymore and don't feel the need to look tan -- despite living in LA). Next up, a body lotion with SPF, but also with a nice scent. I think there is a baby powder one at Target!

2. Use caps - I used to write all friendly emails, texts, etc. in lowercase. I'm over this and am going back to proper English and grammer and punctuation. Even in texting I am using commas, caps and spelling most words out.

3. Get a haircut - Frick frack, it sure has been a long time since I got my hair cut...but I found the perfect place in LA. Great reviews, covered on Daily Candy and affordable! When I get paid next, I am making an appointment! Done!

4. Try out liquid eyeliner - I've done the all-over eyeliner thing and I don't think it works for my eyes (or maybe I just don't know how to do it), but I have been trying out just liquid eyeliner on my top lids. I definitely need some practice and maybe a higher quality bottle, but so far it is a nice change to my makeup routine. Must read some articles online about applying it now, great.

5. Start a book...writing one - Last year I wanted to start writing a Bride Brain book (about that awful wedding I was in), but I had soooo much trouble with it. My mom has mentioned an interning book (not sure how this idea ever came around, but I've always liked it). I prefer writing personal experience stuff instead of creative fiction. I think I really want to start actually writing it, not like a serious book, but funnier yet still informative and personal. I can't say much, you might steal my idea. Maybe I should start with an outline or just jot ideas down? Something to feel like I'm working on it at least? :)

6. Work on screenplay - Oldest sister needs to kick my butt. I am going to add our notes to our main notes this weekend. It's a good idea and I like working with her.

Sooo...that's mostly it I think. In other news, I broke and added my dad as my Facebook friend since he has chosen not to reach out and add me! He's too cool or something I'm sure.

Day 140 - It's Anna Wintour's Birthday!

And in honor of it, my mom and each came up with little ideas about how she might be celebrating today:

My mom's:

Well, first she gets a daily haircut. Then she sucks some oxygen for nourishment. Then she goes into her all black closet with her night goggles so that she can distinguish between garments. Then she selects a pair of jackie o sunglasses of which she has 20 identical pairs (oh sidebar, I almost got a similar pair but [oldest daughter] thought they made me look bug eyed!) and then she calls her pa to blow out her candles on her bcake and then she goes skydiving with Andre Leon Tally in their matching chinchilla coats.

Mine:

She wakes up and her PA brings in a Hermes fedora with pieces of paper imported from France folded in it with different names of Vogue employees (the lower ones) written on them. She pulls out 5 names and those are the ones getting fired. Yay for birthdays! She opens her closet and takes out the outfit marked “November 3, 2009.” She then gets word that her PA fired the 5 staffers and she celebrates by having a martini, no fatty olives. She then spends the rest of the day keeping her hair in place and sending away cheap $5,000 gifts from lowly Vogue staffers and designers. For her birthday celebration she meets up with Vanity Fair’s Graydon Carter at The Waverly Inn where they spend the night not eating, yet somehow racking up a $3,000 bill, and laughing about how they rule the world. Well, she doesn’t laugh, just nods in agreement. Before the end of the night, Andre Leon Tally comes in and gifts her with the Hope Diamond. Lady Wintour decides he will live to see another day of employment.

Hope you laughed!

Day 137 - How I Don't Like To Start My Mornings

Last week I had an exceptionally good morning one day and today is the opposite:

- I missed my first bus. By about a minute and then had to trek down to the dentist at 7AM.

- I finally made it to the dentist and was there for 2.5 hours. And came out with mostly bad news. But no cavities. Tired.

- I forgot to eat breakfast.

- There was a guy on my bus who coughed in my direction and also shook out his piece of cardboard around me and everyone else. I have a feeling I smell like the bus right now.

- Since I spent so much time at the dentist I will be staying late at work.

But it's noon and I'm bound to turn my day around. I'll be productive. Legal Eagle is taking care of dinner. My mom sent me a funny Web site (although they talk about ugly clothes and some I think aren't so bad), and I'm wearing a cozy outfit. And I am soooo taking an early lunch!

Tuesday, we're not through yet!

Day 135 - How I Like To Start My Mornings

Today I had a fabulous morning. The rest of the day was pretty blah, but the morning was a combo of oddness and awesomeness.

First, I was walking to my bus. Upon walking I noticed a young boy standing frozen in a walking position with his little roll-y school bag. I stared and stared wondering why he would be frozen and if there was some illness or injury that makes people freeze...because I live in Hogwart's world or something? As I passed him I continued to keep looking back and still frozen, not swaying or anything. But, at one point, I turned back he was standing, looking and smiling at me. I couldn't help but laugh. I love weird kids.

Second, I was picking up a package at the post office from my mom (already makes my day awesome). A bunch of us are waiting in line, me and some guys. While I am waiting one of the guys is being helped and is grabbing a box or something so he has to pass me. He stops and says, "I know it's early so maybe no one has told you, but you look very pretty." He wasn't cute, but it wasn't said all pervy, plus I had been very mad at my hair that morning. Anywho, it was nice to hear.

Third, bagel day at work.

Fourth, an hour-long meeting at work where I could just kick back.

Not too bad and almost time to leave!

Day 109 - DOOMSDAY!!!

It's here!! Tomorrow at 4:15 am, Legal Eagle and I are being picked up by a shuttle to head to Chicago and Iowa for BRIDEBRAIN'S WEDDING!!

First, we fly into Chicago and stay with my family (and mooch off of them) and then we drive to Iowa for the wedding...and eventually drive back to Chicago to fly back to L.A.

I'm pretty excited. Mostly because I get to see my family and haven't seen them since February! It'll be nice to get out of California and sort of regroup. Also excited because I love flying and airports in general and always better when traveling with someone (even if LE hates flying and makes me stay awake the whole time).

And I must say I am slightly excited about the wedding, not because of the wedding, but because I know LE and I will make it hilarious and will stick out like sore thumbs. I predict we come home with many stories and even more pictures.

To hold you over until I return from my trip, here is a picture of the shoes I will be wearing:


^Silver, which is lame, but LE and I thought they looked a little gladiator-ish, so we thought that made them cooler. My mom confirmed this thought without me having to mention it, so I'm a bit more sold on them then I was at first.

Wednesday, June 3, 2009

Day 100 - I'm 100 Today!

So I thought and I thought about what I would make my 100th blog be about. I really wanted it to be some huge announcement like, "I'm getting married," or, "I dyed my hair pink!" But alas it will not be, it will simply be an update on my WILAY goals. Enjoy. And eat a cupcake for my 100th birthday.

1. Apartment - Well, I live in Hollywood, so yay! I still have a lot of decorating that I want to do, but do not have the moola. But I live in a much better area and absolutely love our place. Score!

2. Hair and makeup - I can't believe I made one of my "change" requirements hair and makeup. That is making me die laughing right now. So, I love my bangs and take the time to fix them in the morning and not just clip them back. Also, I just got a bunch of makeup from a $1 sale and I love it. Makeup fun can begin. Will post pic of me with false eyelashes.

3. Clothes
- Ah, the shallowness continues. Haven't really been buying clothes, but I have been putting more thought into outfits and wearing things differently (no, not wearing shirts as pants). But I just put more effort into it and have some stuff I really love. Success.

4. Job - Ugh. Can we skip this one? The only good thing going on now is that I feel like writing again and am working on some random stuff to pitch. Also still looking for a job. Job, job, job (song in my head everyday).

5. Money - Oh hell, no money here. But I am going to write down all my debts and finances and expenses and I have a budget and I am going to find ways to make money. Suckville.

6. Organization - I really need to print out all my clips. I also need to go through all my papers and toss stuff. Maybe this weekend??

7. Zany situations - This is still going strong. Mostly because my cat is really weird. As is my roommate.

8. Boys - Still single here! Kind of hard to get a boyfriend when you can't afford to go out. But...I do have a new schoolgirl crush on the host at this cafe Birds near our place. Haven't had a crush in forever!

9. A "hang-out" place - OK, can't afford to hang somewhere all the time, but I love out little neighborhood bars/restaurants and think they will be very nice once money comes my way. Outlook positive.


Soooo...some things are going quite well, but the important ones like job and money are very stressful right now. Fingers crossed that they work out, especially since Mercury is out of the way (thanks mom!). Also, I need to start posting some online convos with my oldest sister. They are brillant.


^My sisters and I over Xmas last year!!

Tuesday, January 6, 2009

Day 61 - It's Been Far Too Long!

I’m baaack!

I don’t even know where to begin.

Well, I’ll start with something that is becoming very WILAY: I am working at home currently (and about to get paid!) and LE is going to start working from home too! We’re going to have coffee breaks even…yay!

And we’re going to move our desks into the dining room/kitchen-y area, so that it is more work-y (as opposed to having my desk by my bed where I am often tempted to just roll from my chair to my bed to nap).

I went home to Chicago for Christmas and had a blast. It was cold and icy, but Martini welcomed me with open arms. He was really great. Oh and I went to this lounge where the vodka tonics were $9! Insane!

New Years was also lovely. We hadn’t planned to do anything and then went out with a group and had such a good tme.

It’s so very chilly here and I’m ready for beach weather to be back. Also, haven’t heard from Bride Brain in a while. Maybe it’s time to send her an email?

I so had something I was going to write, but now it is completely forgotten.

Oh, I heard from The Doc during my flight back to California (while in Vegas where I was stuck for four hours after just barely making my Chicago flight out). Pretty random. We’ll see.

On a sad note: Jennifer Love Hewitt and her fiance have broken up. I was really hoping she had really found The One this time. No, I’m not being sarcastic. Poor girl.

More later!

Oh, I remembered. I was going to write about Ageless Dan. Ahh…went to my mom’s work Xmas party. Met Ageless Dan, who barely said hi to me, but immediately asked, “Where’s (middle sister)?”

Note: Middle sister used to work at my mom’s place so she knows people there.

OK, so that’s fine, but then my mom told me how he always asks about her. So, we concluded that he loves her or something and teased her all week about it.

Then, when my mom got back to work, she informed me that that day he asked about me and called me a cutie and said she could give me his number! And she didn’t even think he was joking!

Well, I was confused by this, so I have now concluded that it doesn’t matter which of me or my sisters he dates, he is really after having my mom as his mother-in-law. Weird, but she does make good cookies!

Day 59 - Not Quite What I Like About You

A few days ago, Legal Eagle and I went to apply for jobs at the mall.

LE: We’re like Kath & Kim, not What I Like About You.

So, instead of being all WILAY, I’m now like Kath & Kim. And while the show is hilarious, it’s not one that I would model my life after.

Also, a while ago, LE and I saw these two old women at the grocery store and they were stylin’ and all over the place.

We had the same thought: That’s going to be us many years from now.



^ Best image I could find to represent them.

Thanksgiving (or Shrimpsgiving as I learned at Whole Foods) is tomorrow! I even have a mini assorted cheesecake that I can’t wait to eat!

A few days ago, my cat jumped up really high behind me and kind of punched/swatted me in the back of the head. I am not short.

And then today while I was sitting and on the phone with my mom talking about dogs, he grabbed me around the waist and was maybe trying to wrestle or something.

I have to take the crummy bus to the mall to do an interview. While I LOVE the mall as much as Kath & Kim, I am not at my most excited.

So to get at my most excited, I am transplanting my brain to those days when I was in school. I will think of this interview as my last class before Turkey Break and once it is done, I get to have a wonderful little holiday!

So close!!!!

Day 32 - First Comes Praise...

Then comes money???

As I have continued my freelancing, things are getting better. And I have had a few editors tell me how impressed they are with what I have done and with my clips.

This is a good sign and is slowly putting me in a better mood.

But what is putting me in a really good mood is that my mom finally sent me some pictures from their trip out here.



How adorable are we?! And who knew that wetsuits could be so flattering.

I think that picture makes this blog enough for today. Plus there really isn’t much going on here.

Except tomorrow I am covering the Stand Up 2 Cancer event! Should be interesting…

Day 29 - Call Me Gidget...Or Gadget

So my parents have come and gone! And oh what a trip it was!

The absolute craziest thing we did was take a surfing lesson!



^ Me (Gigdet/Gadget) and my mom (Moon Doggie/Kitty)…I’ll have to get the before picture because it is way cute!

The nicknames are a long story, but I think these are the names we settled on.

Surfing was insane and exhausting and I only stood on my board like a few times, but my mom was a master at it. She even got a minor surfing injury, which I was a little jealous of.

My parents also fell in love with Wahoo’s fish tacos and I couldn’t drag them away from Huntington Beach.

Plus mine and LE’s cats were somewhat nice to my parents and hung out a little with them. So overall, everyone had a lovely time.

I would write more, but I am hungry for lunch and have to get my apartment back in order. Until tomorrow…
