FEELING THE HOLIDAY BLUES?


WANTED:
DATES FOR DURING THE HOLIDAYS. WOULD BE NICE IF MY ROOMATE TIFFANY HAD SOME TOO. HOOK US UP!

"Christmas time means laughter, toboggan in the snow..."


Beautiful Christmas Tree
I am looking forward to my first Christmas alone... Well, not really alone. I have moved into a place with my friend Tiffany and her puppy Ellie. I just barely brought Mr. Harry home with me on Thanksgiving... he won't leave my room, poor boy. We have already decorated our Christmas tree, and most of our house. It's going to take a while to decorate it fully, but it is one of my favorite things to do! Our Christmas theme is candy land, sugary gumdrops, gingerbread houses, cupcakes galore, etc. I love it!

Here is Connie in my kitchen. It is painted pink: )

We have a huge brown wall (which we will paint pink damask over, and the hallway is green)

The delicious truffles and cakes are not real...that is on our dining room table. I am painting a picture for our dining room... it's gonna be so cute!

We will be having a house warming party, just so you all know! Fondue, anyone? And also, I am open to using the place for the Maui trip planning meetings.

Hope everyone had a fantastic Thanksgiving!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ABBEY!



Today Miss Abigail is 2! She is my favorite little girl, and I am going to miss living with her. However, I'm not sure if she will miss me that much... she already has her own bathroom now, decorated with leap frogs and lilies! Not to mention, the upstairs is now transformed into a big play area! She is a lucky baby girl because she has such great parents! And pretty soon, she will have a baby brother, Michael! Have fun in Pinetop with your Grandma and Grandpa Merrill, Abbey! I love you!

Tats



I'm running out of ideas for posts! Good thing Halloween is around the corner. These tattoos are from a set of 3 books I've read... Twilight, New Moon, and Eclipse. I'm wearing Edward, Connie has on Jacob, and Abbey has on a lovely flower. Tim wouldn't wear the Bella one... we were trying to talk him into wearing it on his chest. Right by his heart. FYI: The books are really good. READ THEM!

CALIFORNIA DREAMIN'

LAGUNA BEACH

My friend Tiffany and I spent the weekend in Newport Beach, California. It was perfect in every way! Except, of course, for the confusing freeway and road system there! I no longer trust Mapquest and Google Maps. They gave us the most confusing directions ever! There wasn't even a 91 South. It doesn't exist! I can't tell you how many times we turned around on the way there.

ELLIE

Ellie got the most attention out of all 3 of us. We strolled her around Fashion Island, in Bloomingdale's, in Coco's for breakfast, etc. She went everywhere we went!
NEWPORT BEACH SUNSET

Hopefully in a few years I will have someone standing with me in the sunset pictures next time. Sooner than later?


Need I say more? If in Newport, it is a must to eat here. We even got seated in the trolley!

WE ALSO RENTED CRUISERS AND RODE ALONG THE BOARDWALK, ATE BUBBLEGUM ICE CREAM, WATCHED THE HOLIDAY IN OUR HOTEL ROOM, AND MADE FRIENDS WITH THE VALET BOYS. WORD OF WISDOM... DON'T EVEN BOTHER STOPPING AT THE OUTLETS ON THE WAY HOME. G H E T T O! THIS WAS AN OFFICIAL GIRLS TRIP... THE FIRST I'VE EVER HAD (NOT INCLUDING FAMILY). IT WAS COMPLETE WITH A NATALIE IMBRUGLIA SING ALONG ON THE WAY HOME!
