Happy Thanksgiving!

Even though the historical background of this holiday is pretty shady it is still a good time to give thanks.

Some things I am thankful for...

My family

My friends (espesh the fab five)

My lovely pups!

My new job! ;)

All of the beautiful memories i have of my mom.

The fact that when it's just me and my dad we ditch the traditional thanksgiving going-ons and do something fun. Like today we are going to San Fran to see the auto show, do some shopping, and eat!!!

I wish everyone a wonderful holiday with family and loved ones!:)

I got the Job!

I did it!!! I am so excited to go work for Old Navy, (more about the job ) under Gap Inc. I start December 1st! Wish me luck! The best part is not having to move. I LOVE nor-cal:)
We went to Triva Night at Pyramid to play slash celebrate the j-o-b. My team, "Honey Dip," fared really well. I can't wait to go back and kick ass with my gals (who could not be in attendance). Needless to say, since it was just me and guys i have no photos of our debauchery :)

What happened?

Ahhh! After going through old photos i can't help but ask, "what happened?" i used to be...thin. I miss it! I am not sure what happened...other than the plain and simple fact that i am getting (sigh) old. Anyway, these pictures will serve as inspiration for me to watch what i put in my mouth and make a more concerned effort to be physically active!!!

Please share tips and tricks if you have any:)

vague memories of last night...

We decided to scrap our original plans last night and let loose in Berkeley. My friends and I always have a great time drinking in Berkeley and last night was no exception. We went to House of Curries for dinner; Delish! Then we ended up at the albatross, a really chill bar where they have games, like Yahtzee, and 50 cent bowls of popcorn ;)

Here are some pictures of our fun.

Here is Bridgette on the way there. Thanks Miguel ( you can just make out his right shoulder in this shot) and Bridgette for making sure we got to and fro safely!

Anyone need wire hangers? If so these guys need a home. You can find them on Durant St. in Berkeley.

Here's Holly. Love her bright hoodie! And then Holly and Jon (I introduced them!!!!)i am slightly obsessed with this hoodie. I have worn it two nights in a row! Notice the cute lil snap buttons on the bottom.Here's Danny-O on the prowl for some ladddiiiieeeesHoll snapped up this shot of me by some berkeley artwork :) AND then the boys slipped this FAKE note into my purse! As if anyone would want to get to know my loud drunk self better that night:)

Twilight at Midnight

Nicole and I are CRAZY. We bought tickets last week to see the 12:05 am showing of Twilight last night. We both have read the books, so needless to say we are just as Edward obsessed as the average 14-year old girl.

We got our drink on at Tiki Tom's and then we waited in the FREEZING cold for a whole 30 minutes. Not very long considering the line had started much much earlier. We saw girls huddled in blankets in line at 8pm when we got off the fwy!!!! Last is a photo of Kristen Stewart, the movie's starlet, at the premiere. She got flack for her dress, which i kind of LOVE!

Anyone else brave the same storm? Thoughts on the dress? :)

what to wear, what to wear?

Okay, so I have a rather important interview in San Fran tomorrow, with a HUGE retailer. Very nervous because I REALLY WANT THIS. It was be a rather nice pay increase AND i wouldn't have to move! The interview process takes half a day, including a 2 hour retail math exam! Wish me luck!

Anyhow, the dress there is business casual, so i figure a dress (target), Leggings (capelli and free from old work) and heels( various, can't decide) would do. Which shoes look best???

Lastly, some fun shots i took, poorly- i should ad, of me wearing my dollar find top (jet rag sunday sale) and a skirt (lux, by urban outfitters) with my coveted boots (steve madden).

ShopBop SAAALLLEEEE

I can't shop until I find a new job, but i can still look right?

here are the items i would purchase if i were employed!

Shredded by yours truly..

Okay, DISCLAIMER TIME. I am not a DIY queen like my girl Holly , but i tried. I actually like how it came out. Even though i could not get my shredded panels large like camille from Childhood Flames I still love how it looks... and i think i am going to work a little on the sleeves before i wear it out!

i wear everything with my rachel pally vest and this tee looks cute with it as well, no?

Let me know what you think!:)

TRIMMIN THE FAT

Okay so i am making a BIG effort to shed some pounds. Since i haven't really worked out for the last two years, I am starting easy. I took my pups on a 2-mile walk and I plan on doing that every-other day for the next two weeks and then taking it to the next level. I tried to take a pic of my work-out outfit, but it came out kind of poor. Anyhow I am wearing cropped leggins from H&M, and a really cute WESC hoodie. Hard to see...AND my favs are the new balance shoes i got from work before we shut down. OH and my hello kitty socks!

There's the hoodie and my shoe. And lastly, HARLEY, the love of my life...a little foggy from surfing the net all day:)
