Sunday Shopping
>> Sunday, November 3, 2013
Since November 1st (AKA three days ago), I've indulged in a gingerbread latte and a peppermint mocha latte (the holidays are my favorite time for Starbucks). And I can assure everyone that I will be partaking in these wintery delights many more times before January rolls around.
Just wanted to share my coffee addiction.
Anyhow, today's Sunday which means football, chips and salsa, and lazy lounging. Plus, daylight savings happened last night which meant we got an extra hour of sleep! Today was the first time I've been able to sleep late in what feels like weeks. And I made the most of it. This upcoming work week is going to be nutty so I feel like I might as well enjoy some downtime while I've got it.
Also, GO COWBOYS - we won today which was a lovely surprise.
While we did end up doing some relaxing today, Linus and I ended up going out and running some errands which ended up being productive for my happiness/problematic for my wallet.
I found some awesome deals at TJ MAXX and ended up with the following:

It's November! Crazy right?
I can't believe how fast the past 6 months have gone by - and how much wonderful change has taken place.
First things first, I just want to say thank you for the outpouring of love and positivity I received in regards to my post yesterday. I was so overwhelmed with happiness that I think I even cried a little bit.
And, I'm happy to say, Halloween was a success - on a number of fronts!
I decided (very last minute!) to dress up as a Rainbow Sparkle Unicorn. The best part? I didn't have to buy anything. Haha what does that tell you about my style?
I think the costume ended up being pretty cute :) This is the first time in I don't know how many years that I wore this much clothes for Halloween, and, quite frankly, I felt awesome. I could actually focus on having fun with my boyfriend and puppy, instead of worrying about how many people were looking at me, or if I was "sexy" enough. I didn't give a f**k. I ran around like a happy, rainbow, sparkle unicorn and felt confident and very much like myself.
Happy Halloween - A Conversation Starter

Happy Halloween y'all!
What's everyone doing to celebrate?
My Halloween plans:
*work
*7 mile run this evening
*hit up Santa Monica Blvd to enjoy some quality people watching
*eat candy periodically throughout the day
What's crazy though is that I still don't have a costume!
I always have a costume.
Here's a list of some of my previous ensembles:
When I was teeny tiny I dressed up as a black cat, a kitty princess, Minnie mMouse, a dalmatian, an alien, a '50s chick, and Pippi Longstockings. Unfortunately, all these photos are at my parents house so I can't provide any evidence.
In high school I was Bam Bam one year (my BFF was a sumo wrestler - basically the best thing ever - her costume kept deflating), a devil, and I think I was a cat again?
The aforementioned costumes are from a simpler, more innocent time. As I got older...well, don't judge me. I'll give you my full opinion after you see the photos.
My first year of college, my girlfriends and I went as neon tigers:

Back in CA!
>> Friday, October 25, 2013
Woohoo back from Florida!
It was fun visiting the other coast, but I am definitely happy to be back in CA. It's a really cool feeling - California already feels so much like home.
But we had a good time, minus the fact that I turned into a total space cadet (I blame it on the humidity) and lost my favorite gray Madewell tanktop (left it in the hotel) and my driver's license on the SECOND NIGHT OF THE TRIP (pretty sure it went down a toilet...long story).
Thankfully I must have looked old or something, because I didn't get carded once. The only real issue was getting back on the plane. Thankfully, the American Airlines employees we're super sweet and cut me some major slack (read: no questioning, weird probing, etc.). I needed to get a CA license anyway, so maybe this is the universe's way of being like, "You are meant to be in California!"
I did run into a problem when I tried to buy cold medicine at the grocery store the other day. I forgot how many things you have to have your ID for!
Anyhow! Back to the trip:
I didn't have a lot of chances to access wi-fi so you'll have to forgive me for the lack of posts over the past couple of days. But I'm back and ready to do some serious blogging!
XOXO! Read more...
