I look fly, I look good.

Look at all this sweet stuff I got! A super awesome party AND awesome gifts?! Lucky me!



Thank you to all my lovely friends and wonderful family.

thank you. thank you. thank you.

OMG. I just had one of the best holiday weekends EVER.
Thanksgiving was pretty fun w/ the fams. It was really mellow and I made the best mashed potatoes ever. It included a lot of football wathing and uno playing (or cheating.. either way). It was a nice day and I enjoyed every second of it.
Friday- aka Black friday was an ok day too. Got a little shopping done with some besties and saw Ninja Assassins (dont worry Darlene, I will leave it at that)
then the real fun began...
I got my hair did on Saturday... I went a little more blonde and idk why but I love having blonde hair. Its fun!
So the best gal friends anybody could ask for thru me a Day of the Dead birthday party! It was sooo much fun. It was complete with skully cookies, delicious cupcakes, yummy fajitas, 7-layer bean dip, mexi soda, cookies/candy, an awesome altar, skully decor everywhere, and cute pictures. omg, some of the best decor I have ever seen. Everybody looked so good too, of course because we all have good style, but it was super sweet. I can't even believe I am so lucky to have had so many awesome bday parties. I really do have the best friends ever. It's not because they throw great parties (well thats some of it) but mostly because at those parties we can sit and talk for hours on end and still not want to leave. We can start talking and then begin again as if no time has passed even if its been a few days.
I love it.
Sunday was a nice break after the fabulous time we had on saturday. Except my body did hate me, I'm getting a litte too old to go to bed at 4 am. Haha. It was well worth it though.
Monday- today! Was my actual bday. I didnt work out and I gave myself a nice little bday present of sleeping in! The simple things in life.
Work was super busy... unfortunately, but it made the time go by pretty fast. I got many Happy Birthday wishes from co-workers and friends. It was great. I dont know if I can ever say enough Thank You's.
We also had a lovely dinner at Macaroni Grille. My fams and friends were there. So fun. We ended the night with a little bit of goofing off at Borders and getting little cactus pups- tute!

Thank you everyone. I love you so much and I am so grateful to have you in my life.
oh and Thank You for the most B.A. gifts ever!!! I <3 them.

dear Vans, thanks for being so good to me.

reading

I love new books and magazines that are different and original ideas.
I found this really cool book at B&N and I had to have it as soon as I saw it, haha. Its Called Hi-Fructose. Apparently it's a magazine and this is the best of the articles/ artists. It has some really cool stuff in it and it reminds me a lot of Pop Surrealism and that type of art stuff.
It has the usual ones (Mark Ryden, Ray Caesar) and some pretty cool ones I havent heard of before. Its pretty neat.

I also go the new Lula magazine which I have been waiting for for such a long time. It only comes out like once every 4 months but it is so worth it -not to mention its from the UK so it takes even longer :( It is seriously the coolest magazine I have ever seen. I want the first editions that came out but they are quite pricey on ebay... maybe I can find some good deals online.
It has the cutest articles and interviews in it and its not all super serious.
One of my favorite in this one is a little dedication to one of the old silent film movie stars- you can't get any cuter than that.


To add to my collection I really need to get these books.
I have really liked this artist since I saw the little fairies on the Prada bags from a year or two ago. He has some interesting takes on anatomy and lots of different portrayals of people and human activities. (some of it is a little um, unusual but its all really good I think haha)



I like this art because it explains a lot of ideas that I have. Haha. Sometimes they just don't make sense. My ideas can be like dreams with so many elements and so many random people, objects, and themes that the only to understand is just to look at the bigger picture and plus not everything has to make sense, sometimes thing can just be what they are.

i aint gonna lie.

I liked New Moon. I admit it was really cheese-tastic and the acting is not Oscar worthy but compared to the first one it is a million times better. It doesnt really compare to the book (This book was my fave) but if you look at them as two separate entities then I think it all works out. Oh and I noticed something kind of weird... besides the few times they mention the word vampire, the movie really doesnt have anything to do with vampires. No blood drinking, no more blood than like a little drop, and no mention of getting blood- kinda weird.
I really liked the werewolves though, I thought they did a good job w/ the special effects. I cant really say there are any other movies where I really liked the werewolves so thats pretty cool I guess. Im totes gonna buy it when it comes out.
I cant wait for Eclipse now, haha.

bunny ears

I think these can be really cute. Im all for stuff that is whimsical and fun.... aaand they kind of remind me of bows, mishapened bows.
I dont know if it would be proper attire to wear say for a business meeting but I think they would be really fun to wear going out and having fun.
I think its important not to take life too seriously so I would happily rock a pair of these just for fun, in and outside of my house.









Im sure the ones in these pictures are muy expensive. But I found a website to make them- which wouldnt be hard. Or the obvious store of halloween goods.

Monoxious.com- blog

for you boys who drive me crazy.

Tim Burton

This would probably be one of the best art exhibits ever to see.


I dont know if there is anything of Tim Burtons that I dont like. I think some stuff I like a lot more than others but I think he has amazing creativity and has such a unique style of making different types of art.

Apparently his art exhibit is Nov22- April 26 at MOMA in new york. I wanna go.

classy glassy

I like these glasses.
I have wanted some new glasses for-ev-er. Im gonna need to try them on but I think they have some cuteness potential.



and if they dont work I can always get this necklace. Haha.



P.S. Etsy you are killing me.

New Moon.

Well the time is almost here. I am excited and not excited at the very same moment. The second book was my favorite out of all of them... just because its sooo romantic, haha. But the first movie was well not Oscar winning. I think this one will be better than the first but I dont know if I should necessarily have high hopes for it.


I made a recent decision that I think I like Nikki Reed the best out of this cast. I think she is really pretty and has a super cute style. I didnt really see her as Rosalie but I get it now. Plus she isnt a hot mess like K-Stew always is. I like Ashley Greene too but Im not sure about her style.







As far as the boys go...I like Kellan Lutz too because he seems like just such a cute guy and a good cuddler (for some reason) and not all super sensitive sally like Rob P. Dont get me wrong Rob P. can take a good picture (sometimes) but he seems like such a downer. Dont even get me started on Jackson R. Oh and the wolf pack is pretty fine too, minus the cheesy tat tat tat'd up.

its true...

Well working out I've come to accept the fact that I'm losing some of my treasure chest but I am at least gaining some pirate booty.

Bikini summer 2010. I will be ready.

snow.

I dont necessarily like the cold but I do like snow. Its just so nice and those darned snowflakes are so adorably one of a kind, you just have to love them.
I like things that go with snow too like scarves, boots, gloves, hot chocolate, lights. Its a pretty time of year.


p.s. can you tell I'm kind of bored at work? haha.
