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!

I am no feminist, or at least not an activist for feminism, but I just read the most interesting article.  Someone started a tweet chat where they asked men 16 questions of situations that women experience nearly on the daily- down to texting your friend that you got home safely, because this legitimately is something that women have to do.  It was so interesting to me to see how these things are actually ever present in my everyday life. Being a woman- means you DO have to watch your back, you do have to carry pepper spray, or even a small knife with you.  It means walking on streets late at night that there is a chance for something bad to happen. It means that people can blame your emotions on "that time of the month." THIS is a big one for me.  I am allowed to be upset, cry, or express anything I want via tears or with haste if it is upsetting, and NO it doesn't mean it's that time of the month. It means there is a chance that your ideas at work may be look...

Currently- Edition 2

Currently-Edition 2 Two weeks later, I have been 31 for 14 days, I have had the WORST cold for almost 1 week, I went to North Carolina and back and it is NOVEMBER 1st!!! WOOHOO! You know what this means...Fall is in FULL SWING (officially we 'fall back' in a few days), time to break out the boots, scarves, coats, flannels.  Put away the Halloween decor and break out the in-between Halloween and Christmas decor (which for me is one in the same...I put out "winter" decor, I'll do my tree a little later on.  And drinking hot drinks, and quite possibly attempting to add a Christmas playlist into your Pandora shuffle just for a light preview.  So now, day 1 of November, here are the 'currently's' happening! Drinking My body is begging me to drink water, water and more water.  But on the first day of November, I splurged on a fancy (free thanks to earned rewards!) Starbucks drink, it was my go-to in college, Grande Soy White Chocolate Peppermint M...

8.6.14

So, the sentimental me is reallllllyyyyyy having serious "feels" today.  Tomorrow marks one 12 month, exact, to a tee, year.  365 days, 56 weeks, 12 months, a lot of minutes, hours, blood, sweat, and tears.  OK, no blood, except tiny little bits when I had Juvederm injected into my nose, sweat, absolutely yes, when I screwed up a couple of times, tears, only once, and for a ridiculous reason and well, you know I was having an emotional few days, you understand.  Anyway, after that run-on sentence, it's my one-year-anniversary of my job! That I adore with a whole heart. I have learned SEVERAL things...like that people are crazy in this town and yes, you do actually need botox if you want to continue to look unworried.  And yes, you could use a some bigger (or smaller) boobs. Now this sounds like I work in a superficial world, I do, but it is a fantastic world and also, I work for the BEST practice.  Most down-to-earth-doctor around.  Love my co-work...
