Currently-Edition 3

December is in FULL swing and it is lovely.  I have done so many fun activities that have been so festive and joyful.  There are no bah-humbugs here! I even put up a Christmas tree for the FIRST time this year! So exciting, you have no idea.  I packed up my ornaments from my parents' house in Seattle and shipped em on down! So here we go with Currently-Edition 3. Woohoo!

Here it is, nestled in the corner of my sweet, studio apartment!  


Drinking

 Dry January is fast approaching, I will be doing a massive health kick as I am going to Hawaii on January 27th and I need to feel a little more...fit if you will? ;) So currently I am enjoying all beverages.  I try not to drink alcohol during the week but that is difficult given all the holiday festivities including my office party that is tomorrow night & a friend's 30th birthday celebration that is Friday! EEK! So a lot of water and the normal coffee routine during the weeks.

Eating

 Healthy! TRYING!  Getting daily treats from patients at work and Trader Joes has these dark chocolate covered peppermint OREO type cookies. HEAVEN & HELL in one box.  So strict eating during the week with 1-2 treats from wherever they show up and working out every day. BLAH.
Side note: tried a new restaurant on Sunday (do I need to do a restaurant blog? YES)....
Sotto (click link to see the divinity that is this restaurant!) was it's name, actually saw the main guy from NCIS... haha.  It was a fancy shmance place but absolutely delicious.  We went with our foodie friends and they know how to pick the entrees, appetizers, desserts, etc and we just share.  It was SO GOOD.  We are talking risotto, flat bread pizzas, roasted chicken, smoked olive oil to dip bread in, cannoli for dessert, cocktails AND red wine.  This meal was no joke.  Loved it!

Listening

 Zooey Deshanel "Baby It's Cold Outside,"  and it is heaven.

Wearing

 My most recent, absolute FAVORITE purchase is my ice blue, satin, pleated midi skirt that I will be wearing for tomorrow night's holiday party.  Oh yes.  The one I ordered is here and it is GORGEOUS!

Wanting

 Well, 'tis the season of Christmas lists and giving and receiving.  I am sure Santa knows what I want this year..... ;)

Reading

 Well, I finished a new book since the last post, "Small Great Things" by Jodi Picoult.  I give this book 5 VERY BIG stars.  It was excellent, eye opening, sad, happy, and mesmerizing.  Highly, HIGHLY recommend.  It was a learning experience for me to read this book and I am so thankful for it.  Learn more here!!

Watching

 So the mid-season finale of The Walking Dead was CRAZY.  I also binged and LOVED Westworld on HBO, seriously, blew my mind and I am a little upset that we have to wait until 2018 to watch season 2!? Say what??? Loving Divorce and so happy it picked up for a second season, SJP is just brilliant.  This Is Us winter finale was gut wrenching good.  That show is seriously incredible, I have not been disappointed once.  WATCH IT!

So...this 'Currently' was a little more short and sweet- but I hope you enjoyed it! XOXO, Happy Holidays, and see you next year!

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 ...

Iced Coffee & The Human Race

So every morning before work I stop at the Coffee Bean down the way from my office. It's the perfect location. Stick a few quarters in the meter and head on in.  There are your average business looking people, as this is a business district, and then there are those that have been at yoga or exericising, or the real snooty (pardon my judgement) type who are on their phone the whole time while ordering, prepping their coffee and just standing around on their phone, in the way of every one around them, unbeknownced to the fact of course. It's a good thing I have been awake and coherent, and driving for 2.5 hours or I'd get really impatient. I'm finding my patience are much higher and happier anytime before about 3:30pm. Then I get agitated with the littlest things and tolerance level goes way down.  You can tell who the snooty ones are because of their mannerisms and dress. Chins held high, designer obvious clothes and just a demeanor like they're the absolute shi...

glitter & spark

Currently...in the process of creating my own website.  Don't know it's purpose, don't know why, but it seems like something fun to do with my spare time and it also gives me a need to purchase a computer (besides that I do actually blog, and my job entails blogging now, hello tax write-off!) so I hope in Feb. to walk into an Apple store and get myself a macbook. Anyway beside that- I am currently brainstorming domain names. I obviously need to work Glitter in there, because, of who I am as a person.  If you don't know me...just imagine that everything in my house including my clothes and shoes, has some sort of glimmer, shimmer, sparkle, sequin, rhinestone, or glitter involved.  And out of all those, glitter is my favorite word to describe it. Secondly- I am a spark, my mom has called me sparky, or a spark my whole life.  I can be a smart ass, a bitch, a dry individual, (don't worry I am also sweet).  My comebacks can be delayed but when they do happen, ...
