Giving & Thanks

Well....INSPO from one of my favorite bloggers whom I feel like I am friends with even though we have never met personally but we "follow" each other's lives from one big city to the other across the USA and engage with each other--- ALL THAT creepiness being said, her blog is here.  ANYWAY, the whole point of that paragraph was that I felt, even though I rarely write/blog anymore, I should write a thankful/grateful post!

I enjoy a good list so I will be listing these out-


  • First and foremost, I don't care how gross you think I am but I am thankful for Almond Nog, Trader Joes' version of Almond Milk Egg Nog, don't know how it all works, but it's damn delicious and has been in my gingerbread ground coffee also from Trader Joes, every single morning this week!  Yes I am a sucker for seasonal flavors, I am what they call #basic, and I own it.

  • AIR TRAVEL, even though I know LAX will be a complete cluster F tonight I am thankful that once I board that flight, I will be home to Seattle for the holiday in a few, short hours.  I miss my family so much and am so happy that they are not across the country or world and I can be home in a little over 2 hours. After the stress and grossness of airports of course.

  • ONLINE SHOPPING.  I cannot even tell you the last time I set foot in a mall.  I have become pro at this method of purchase! I send em back if they don't fit, I exchange via mail, I do it all!  Who wants to get undressed in a dressing room anyway?  BLAH.  I love coming home to a box or two or four.  I try and stay away from my computer after a couple glasses of wine though, it seems my bank account becomes much larger after some red wine is in the system.....yeesh.


  • Friends turned family.  You know who you are- I am a long way from my immediate family and my little friend group has grown to the perfect size of quality and awesome people who have become my family.  THANKFUL!

  • Holidays- I am a sucker for ALL of them.  Starting every year with Halloween and flowing through each one with decorations, themes, food, and weather changes...well kind of, it's supposed to be 90 in L.A. for Thanksgiving, I'm like BYEE off to WASHINGTON STATE! But that being said- I love all the holidays and all that comes with them!

That's all for now!  I am obviously so thankful for my family, boyfriend, the roof over my head and the food & water I have access to.  I know I am lucky and blessed! HAPPY TURKEY/THANKSGIVING ALL!

4 Goodbyes...

If you are faint of heart...don't read this blog post. Death for me was a distant thought, I had seen it in movies, I had watched friends lose friends and family members, but up until the last few months, I hadn't personally experienced it, minus my great-grandmother when I was 17, she was 99 and healthy, just died in her sleep of old age and I was not close to her so I really didn't feel all the feels. My experiences started several months ago, some meant a lot to me, some were just weird and some gut wrenching. I was a nanny for several years, before I moved to LA 2.5 years ago, for many different families and usually ended on wonderful notes with each family when I parted ways, however, with on in particular mom, it ended not so sweetly. Her name was Kim, and I was basically hired to be her friend.  She was a surgeon's wife and had two kiddos.  She wanted companionship, someone to talk to and hang out with, she fast became someone I could tell all my stories ...

Bandwagon(s)

In 1855 the term bandwagon was created and first used-originally it was a large, ornate wagon that carried musicians that were part of a band usually in circuses. I'm not sure when the term expanded to what we use it for now, but anyway, this is a term I use ALL THE TIME.  There are bandwagon fans, which if you think about it, everyone is one at one point in their lives; the loyalties start by jumping on a bandwagon with other fans, whether that be following in your families foot steps or deciding on the team on your own, it all starts by hopping on board.  There are also bandwagon trends-copying the latest fashion or hobby all falls under the category. I lately and FINALLY might I add, got back on the exercise/health/fitness bandwagon.  I fell off back in June-ish and I have had a hard time finding it and getting back on until last Monday.  I guess you could say I had an epiphany (another word I love to overuse) when I found photos of me from not even that long ...
