Brings us to the Present 3.18

Taylor and I had planned a cozy day in.. that some how lead to a day of us running errands in the rain..
just isn't enough time for what you got to do .. and what you want to do ..
Here is our afternoon mall treat to get us through...

last night I went out .. Lost my car keys.. They fell out of my purse somewhere.. in the 8 years I have had my car I guess I should be happy that I have never done this before .. I had to tow my car this AM to the dealership to have a new set of keys made.. this is EXACTLY what I wanted to be doing on a sunday .. and EXACTLY what I want to be spending my savings on... ummmm NOT... t-minus 5 hours of headache and counting... UGH... annoyed.. lesson learned.. ALWAYS HAVE A SPARE SET!

some where in there...

I went fishing with a group of friends where we went out on the boat, caught tons of fish, and went back and had a BBQ! was SUCH a good time!

more pics from work this past week. 

Finally had some quiet time and this is my desk view at home.. cozy right! 

I have mastered the Chateau Marmont driveway!

After I finished all those jobs I got sick.. BOO! slept for 2 days straight! AND My Best friend Victoria came into town.. again.. which was great! we dragged my sick self to the wine country for a little R&R .. was a nice little romantic friend get a way.. Best part was the day we left MOKI snuck into his kitty treats! bad kitty!

Shit Happens.... This water bottle has been sitting in my fridge for weeks and I have been avoiding it. Last night I hear this noise like something exploded in the kitchen..sure enough I look in the fridge and this bottle has frozen up, cracked and shattered all over the inside of my fridge. This is most def a metaphor .. if you avoid things that you know you need to take care of, they will explode and cause more damage then if you would have just taken care of them in the first place! Lesson Learned!

Today I only went in for a half day at work because of the Martin Luther King holiday...which was a surprise and totally awesome because My GF was planning on getting a tattoo that day and originally we were going to go together, but I wasn't going to be able to make it cause of work.... This gift of a half day changed things and NOW I was able to go.
We met for lunch .. then went to the Tattoo Parlor... I was so excited, so scared, and so pumped up on adrenaline. Thank goodness there was wine to calm the nerves. I was still on the fence about getting my tattoo, but only because of the fear of the pain, and the horror of something bad happening like, being allergic to the ink, it getting infected, or God forbid getting hepatitis.. But we were at a clean place with an amazing vibe that our friend had researched the shit out of.  Due to my uneasiness My GF went first and I documented the event via pics and video. I can't tell you how amazing it was to be there with her as she got her tattoo knowing what the tattoo meant to her. It was the coolest experience. Once she was done... it was my turn.. WA WA.. Turns out because of my ski trip this weekend the guy wouldn't do it! I was SOOO disappointed... extremely disappointed to go home after all that build up with nothing.. I sat on my couch so sad... depressed that the only thing I had to look forward to at the moment was to go grocery shopping.. unbelievable!...I committed to get one, I cheers to it with my girlfriend (whose tattoo is all about commitment).. therefore the date is set - Jan 28th ... and I WILL get my Tattoo.. !!!

1/14 -1/15

7th day of January...
I love a lot of the things I get to do at work.
One of those things is going to the flower market...(I get to go and buy flowers on the companies dime for our photo shoots. I love it!) I had never been to the LA flower market until I had to for work, and once that door was opened... I was SOLD.
I really enjoy flowers, I am always buying them for the house, and love having them at my desk at work, love giving them to friends for b'days and other events... they just bring a good energy.. I occasionally dream of opening a flower store, or at lease helping with arrangements for events one day. Today I had to go to purchase flowers for an up coming shoot... There is one thing I don't love about buying flowers for work... I have to purchase white flowers only, which is beautiful and really does look clean and sleek.. but I like color. So when I go to the market I will also spend a little $ to buy some nice colorful flowers for my home...EVERYONE should buy flowers at the market.. the costs are very reasonable and you get more for your money. Here are the pink roses I bought..2 dozen for $11 bucks.. can't beat that !! Stop and Smell the Roses People!!!
