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!

"What part of LA do you live in?" And Other Important thoughts and questions that go through my head

Oh me. Single as all get out, in the dating world, BIG TIME, not just a toe dipper, nope I am full on doused into the deep end of it.  Yes I am on Tinder, yes I am on Ok Cupid, and yes, I am too cheap to join Match/E-Harmony so I am going with the free ones...which has not proven to be worth it yet but can you complain when you aren't paying for anything....? The things I have stumbled upon, the people I have met, and the amount of drinks I have downed to get through some pretty horrendous dates are quite....interesting.  My last two blog posts can show you a little insight into that. Here are a small amount of things that go through my mind when I am gandering (it's a word even though this tells me it's not- I made it up apparently) at these so called "Dating Bios." How old is he...? Dating sites have filters mostly...unfortunately for Ok Cupid, anyone can message you- but it filters out the age you don't want from your viewing.  So this week for inst...

Rants and Rants and No Raves

Just some things that drive this girl batty- LA DRIVERS- Sometimes I think I need my own reality show (pause for hysterics) but seriously, like just when I am driving in my car.  Can we talk about Los Angeles drivers (literally as I typed that sentence I hear a symphony of car horns on the street below my office window) they are the WORST, although when I was in NYC I feared for my life in the cab, more then once....  BUT LA! I MEAN HOLY CRAP.  I am from Seattle- the traffic there is a fraction of the traffic here, and at the appropriate times- morning, and evening.  Traffic in LA happens at 7AM,  8am, 11am, 1PM, 3PM, 5PM, 6PM, 7PM, 8PM, and etc etc etc etc.  It is one of the main of a small amount of reasons I hate this city, the lack of transportation and how the geography is laid out.  If you live in West LA, and I live in East, you can forget hanging out until Saturdays or Sundays.  When I was on dating apps (SO glad those days are over...

Currently Edition 4

Oh hello!  My last Currently  was in December! My how time has flown!  Already 11 days into April.  OH and FYI, it's been 105 years since Titanic's maiden voyage (NERD ALERT, if you have read my past blogs, you know I am a Titanic fan) and on April 14, it's been 105 years since she sunk.  Since I was 11 I have been remembering this date as if it should be a national day on calendars, to remember. ANYWAY...April 11! So much has happened since December.  Work pace has picked up, I am heading 3 brand new, and time consuming projects that are actually SO MUCH FUN and I am loving them.  But...alas this is not a blog about my job, it's about the going on's in my life! Here goes nothing... Drinking This isn't really as exciting when it's not a festive time of year...but the usualy, coffee from the Keurig in the AM with almond milk.. TONS of H2O throughout the day, I think I spend equal amounts of time at my desk and in the bathroom because I have to go ...
